12 Legal News 361 (1889)
Issue 46

handle is hein.journals/lglnws12 and id is 369 raw text is: THE LEGAL NEWS. Whe 71egal News. VOL. XII. NOVEMBER 16, 1889. No. 46. A railway regulation, oppressive to travel- lers and too favorable to companies, was that which obliged every passenger found without a ticket to pay the fare from the place whence the train originally started, to the end of his journey. This has been abol- ished in England, by the Regulation of Rail- ways Act, 1889. A passenger without a ticket may pay the fare from the place whence he started, and if he has no money with him, he may give his name and ad- dress. This applies only to those who are in good faith, for fraudulently travelling with- out a ticket exposes the passenger to a fine, or, on a second conviction, to fine and imprison- ment. Another excellent regulation of the new Act, which should be universally intro- duced, is that which makes it imperative that every passenger ticket issued by any railway company in the United Kingdom shall bear upon its face, printed or written, in legible characters, the fare chargeable for the journey. The passenger is thus secured against overcharge, accidental or otherwise, and can see that he gets the correct change without making any inquiry as to the fare. A celebration of some interest is proposed in commemoration of the first centenary of the United States Supreme Court, to take place in New York, in February next. The Chief Justices of the several States are to be invited, as well as many other members of the bench. The addresses to be delivered are to afford an appropriate survey and delineation, by representative citizens from different parts of the country, of the origin and growth of the Supreme Court, its re- lations to the government and the people, and its place in our constitutional system. COUR SUPPRIEURE. SAGCENAY, f6vrier, 1889. Coram PELLETIER, J. CAnON et Vir v. CARoN. Misnomer-Erreur dans copie du Bref-Motion pour amender-Exception a la forme-Dis- crdtion quant auxfrais. JUGA :-1. Qu'ii suffit au demandeur de se dIsi- gner par le prinom sous tequel il est ordinai- rement connue, et suffisant pour l'identiier. 2. Que l'erreur ddricale dans lacopie du bref d'as- signation quant d la date de V'imanation, ne rend point telle assignation irrigulibre, Si le dfendeur n'a pu itre induit en erreur. La demanderesse mineure 6mancipde par mariage, assist4e de son mari nomm6 cura- teur, poursuivait son pore en reddition de compte de tutelle. L'action 6tait rapportable le 31 janvier. Le 23 janvier le procureur de la demanderesse, constata que cette dernibre, denomm6e dans le bref Emma, s'appelait Marie Catherine Emma, et que 1'acte do tutelle la d~signait par ces trois pr6noms. Bien que la d6signation lai.parit suffisante, pour enlever tout motif A une exception A la forme qui ferait encourir des d6lais consider- ables, le dit procureur crut prudent de faire signifier an d6fendeur une motion demandant permission d'amender en d~signant la de- manderesse par les trois pr6noms ci-dessus. La motion all~guait que la demanderesse 6tait g~ndralement connue sous le nom d'Emna, et 6tait rapportable le 31 janvier, jour ot'1 l'on croyait que la cour devait sidger. Le 25 janvier information 6tant reque que la cour ne siegerait que le 13 f~vrier, le dit procureur pour 6viter les frai8 d'un nouvel avis, obtint de l'avocat cbarg6 de comparaltre pour le d6fendeur, un consentement pour pr6sentation de la motion le 13 fdvrier. L'action fut rapportie le 31, et le ler f6vrier, le d~fendeur comparut et plaida par excep- tion A la forme : I. Misnomer, vu que la demanderesse s'ap- pellait Marie Catherine Emma; II. Que la copie du bref d'assignation A lui dblivr6e comportait avoir 6t6 6man6e en 1809, les mots quatre-vingt ayant 6t6 omis. Cette cople 6tait correcte d'ailleurs, et a la suite des mots 1809, se trouvaient les suivants: et dans la 52me ann6e de Notre R~gne. R6ponse g6n6rale Al'exception, et sp~ciale, all~guant : Que la demanderesse etait ordi- nairement d6signde sous le nom d'Emma; que d'ailleurs, pour enlever tout motif de chicane, motion avait 6th faite pour amender. 361
