The Crown in Law.
Under the Crown Proceedings. Bill, the text of which will be published to-day, the Crown, in its public capacity, will largely be in the position of a private person in its liability to legal action. Certain ancient forms of civil proceedings, such as petitions of right, are abolished. The Crown, in general, will be liable in tort for the acts and defaults of its servants and agents, and for breaches of common law duties.. The hill has been presented to the House of Lords. —London, Feb. 18.
