The Calcutta Weekly Notes Law Notes and Notes of Cases of the Calcutta High Court and of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and the English Law Courts Monday February 15 1926

We are of opinion that the Legislative Assembly has been ill-advised in rejecting the proposal of the Government of India for making provision for the employment of two Judges of Indian experience on an annual salary of £4 000 each for hearinae' appeals from India the salary of one Judge being charged on the revenues of India and that of the other to the British Exchequer. [...] We would therefore avise the Government of India to get the measure passed by the Council of State on the grounds above-stated and re-submit the prposal to the Assembly for ite approval and we have little doubt that the Assembly will extend its approval to it if it is put in the proper light. [...] It cotemplates the possibility of a tenant refusing to pay rent and when the landlord finding no other means of recovering the rent thinks of proceeding to Court the tenant has only to dposit the rent due and defeat all the attempts of the landlord to eject him. [...] The appeal relates to contracts for the sale of sheep skins and goat skins for the purposes of the French Army during the war. [...] The speciality of the volume consists in explaining the scope of some of the older Acts and Reglations which are still in force by prefatory notes relating to the circumstances that led to such legislation and giving the objects and reasons thereof.
