The Calcutta Law Journal Short Notes of Cases Articles & Other Matters July 16 1913

The Calcutta Law Journal was started ii the year 1905 with the Perinission of the Calcutta High Court under the auspices of strong and representative Editorial Committee and with a staff of Reporters from all the different branches of the Profession. [...] The present volume reproduces the seventh or concluding volume of the Report by Macnaghten which covers the period 1841-48 as also the first volume of the Sadar Dewany Adalat Report for the year 1845. [...] We congratulate the Government upon its decision and we have no doubt that the publishers with the immense resources at their disposal will make the best use of the permission they have secured and bring the Indian Law Reports within the reach of the average practitioner. [...] The object of clause (7) of section 195 it is said is merely to designate the Court to which the apdlication is to be made tor as is somewhat loosely expressed to which an "appeal" lies) under that clause and not to specify the nature of the jurisdiction which such Court is to exercise in disposing. [...] Tne effect thereford is only to make the High atirt the proper tribunal in this case and as the jurisdietion which the Court exercises in dealing with the order of the Small Cause Court is clearly appellate and not original it follows that the Criminal Appellate Bench is competent to deal with the matter.
