1909

The point which the writer of the letter seeks to make out is that in the matter of inheriance of property by the children of a Brahmo marriage the Indian Succession Act ought to apply. [...] The author very rightly says that the growth of the law of estoppel has suffered in England from the unpopularity of its name and in India from the notion current amongst unprofessional judges and magistrates " that the Codes are exhaustive as to estoppels and a judge is not justified in departing from the strict letter of the Code. [...] We are glad to find therefore that the author has travelled beyond the narrow limits of the Codes and the reports and endeavoured by following the footsteps of Thayer Bigelow and other writers of repute to get at the root principles upon which the doctrine of estoppel is or rather ought to be founded. [...] The author of the present treatise deserves credit not only for his able analysis of the principle of res judicata but also for the thorough and coscientious manner in which the case law bearing on the various aspects of the subject is digested and presented in this work. [...] In the case of Gvernment prosecutions at any rate the prosection as a rule is better represented in Court and the case for the Crown better looked after than the defence and it is often the latter and not the former which would be in need of indulgences in the magitrate's hands in order to enable it to present its case properly before the Court.
