put before them higher considerations even than those of property and the institutions of their country. He might remind them of duties more solemn, and of obligations more imperative. They professed to be a Christian nation. They made it their boast even —though boasting was somewhat out of place in such questions -they made it their boast that they were a Christian people, and that they drew their rule of doctrine and practice, as from a well pure and undefiled, from the lively oracles of God, and from the direct revelation of the Omnipotent. They had even conceived the magnificent project of illuminating the whole earth, even to its remotest and darkest recesses, by the dissemination of the volume of the New Testament, in whose every page are written for ever the words of peace. Within the limits of that island alone every Sabbathday, twenty thousand—yes, far more than twenty thousand—temples were thrown open in which devout men and women assembled to worship him who is the “ Prince of Peace.” 4. Write a precis, or an abstract, of the following, in such a manner as to give, in a concise form, an account readily intelligible of the trial before the Court of Appeal: In re Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1897 ; Ellis v. William Cory and Son (Limited). 1. Facts respecting the Accident. A structure moored in a river at some distance from and not connected with the shore was used for the purpose of discharging coal from vessels into lighters. A workman employed in unloading a steamer lying alongside such structure was injured by accident arising out of and in the course of his employment. 2. Application of the Workman to the, County Court, Kent, Woolwich. The applicant, who was a workman employed by the respondents, was unloading coal from a steamship lying in the Thames alongside a structure known as Atlas No. 3, when he was injured by an accident arising out of and in the course of his employment. The question raised was whether this structure was a “ wharf ” or “ quay ” within the meaning of section 23 of the Factory and Workshop Act, 189 b, and therefore a “factory” within the meaning of section 7 of the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1897. The structure was moored in the Thames, off Charlton, by means of chains fastened to piles driven into the bed of the river at a distance of 500 ft. from the south shore and 350 yards from the north shore. It was 500 ft. long, 45 ft. wide, and stood 6 ft. above the level of the water. There were upon the structure nine hydraulic cranes with grabs attached to them. When at work the grabs descended into the holds of coal-steamers moored alongside, and took up automatically about a ton and a half of coal. The cranes then lifted the grabs and turned them round to hoppers, where the coal was automatically weighed anil then passed through shoots into barges lying on the other side of the structure. There were also upon the structure a blacksmith’s shop, a carpenter’s shop, plant for generating electricity, and a coffee-shop for the men. There was no communication between the structure and the shore except by means of boats. The applicant was employed in the hold of a steamer lying alongside the structure, his duty being to place the coal so that the grab might get hold of it. While engaged upon this work he was struck by a grab and injured. 3. Award of the County Court Judge. The County Court Judge held that the stracture was not a “ wharf,” that the applicant could not claim damages under the Act of 1897, and made an award in favour of the employers. 4. Pleading of the Applicant's Counsel before the Court of Appeal. The structure in question was a wharf. It was used for the purpose for which a wharf is used—that is, for loading and unloading vessels moored alongside. If it hail been placed close to the side of the river, and connected with the shore by gangways, it could not be argued that it was not a wharf. The fact that it was moored some distance from the shore can make no difference. 5. Pleading of the Respondent's Counsel before the Court of Appeal. The decision of the County Court Judge was right. The structure was used for some of the purposes for which a wharf is used, but it was not a wharf within the proper meaning of the word. The meaning of “ wharf ”is a place physically connected with the land and contiguous to water. The test whether or not a thing is a wharf is the place where it is situated, and not what it is used for. The term “ wharf ” must be given its ordinary meaning. 0. Aiuard of the Master of the Rolls, the Right Hon. R. H. Collins. The only question in this case is whether the structure which has been described was a wharf or not. It certainly fulfilled some of the primary functions of a wharf. It was fitted with cranes for the purpose of unloading coals from one vessel and putting them into another, and it was moored to the bed of the river in such a manner as to make it sufficiently permanent and stable for that operation to be performed. There can be no doubt that it was a structure of such a kind that if it had been capable of being reached from the shore by a bridge or some other connection it would have been a wharf. But the point was taken that it was situated so far out in the river that it could not fall within the

popular meaning of the word “ wharf.” ft is very likely that when the Factory Acts were passed such a structure was not contemplated; but Ido not think we ought to confine the meaning of the word “ wharf ” to wharves such as were used at that date. I think we ought to include altered modes of constructing wharves devised to meet altered conditions of business. We now find this particular kind of structure being used for the purposes of a wharf, and it is adapted for being used at a greater distance from the shore than an ordinary wharf, so as to save time and labour. It seems to me that structures of this kind fall within the term “ wharf ”as used in the Factory Acts. The workman here was carrying out just the kind of operation contemplated by the Workmen’s Compensation Act. In my opinion the structure in question must be held to be a “wharf” for the purposes of the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1897. I think if we were to adopt the opposite view we should be unduly narrowing the benefit intended to be given by the Act. For these reasons I think that the decision of the County Court Judge was wrong, and that this appeal must be allowed 5.

The Civil War between the Northern and Southern States ovci the question of slavery was a sanguine struggle lasting over four years. It ended in victory for the North and the emancipation of the slaves. Lincoln, whose wise and righteous statesmanship had saved the “ Union,” was acclaimed the saviour of his country and the liberator of the negro race. The national rejoicing over the return of peace was turned into mourning by the assassination of Abraham Lincoln on 15th April, 1865. The martyred President left a profound and abiding impression on the national mind, and his orations have undoubtedly helped to mould the national character of America. familiar, privileges, coincidence, missionaries, inexhaustible, casualties, chivalrous, qualifying, delinquents, inefficient
