Excerpt from The Legal News, 1883, Vol. 6 The General Council has wisely rejected the idea of altering the one judge system and of doing away with the Court of Review. Any one who can count his fingers and thumbs must be able to assure himself that the aboli tion of the Court or Review means the blockade of the Court of Appeals. Curious to say, after twice rejecting the proposition to do away with Review, the Council passed a resolution to allow appeal from the confirmatory judgment in Review. This looks as if the practitioner's love of a multiplicity of appeals had a dis turbing influence on the deliberations of the Council. The rejection of so much of Hr. White's motion as proposed to make the quorum in appeal four, and in case of equal division to make it a confirmation of the judgment appeal ed trom, is unfortunate. It is the true juridical idea. The decision in first instance should count for something, and the hostility to the rule advocated by Mr. White is not the out come of reason. It is the sporting notion which prevails, to start with equal chances. But the doctrine of chance does not fairly apply.
