Excerpt from The Partnership Act, 1890: With Notes; Being a Supplement to a Treatise on the Law of Partnership; With an Introduction and Notes on the Law of Scotland The Parliament of this country is very ill adapted to the work of codification. It is matter of amazement that Englishmen should be content to have the laws bv which they are governed in such an inaccessible shape as they are but, no doubt, one explanation of this state of things is the hopelessness of passing through Parliament, without mutilation, any carefully considered exposition of any great branch of law. Such an exposition must introduce amendments; for anomalies and irrational rules, though they may exist for centuries if only occasionally brought to light by judicial decision, would in evitably disappear if any attempt were made to formulate and perpetuate them in a legislative enactment. Necessary amend ments, however, ought to be carefully considered by men who understand the subjects to which they relate and ought to be adopted by those who do not; but amendments laid before Parliament are very likely to be dealt with by incompetent persons, if not by opposing political parties acting on political party lines and rather than run such a risk many earnest law reformers prefer to leave things as they are, or at all events not to bring forward measures calculated to arouse opposition. Taken as a whole, the law of England, both civil and criminal, is well adapted to the requirements of English people: but it sadly wants methodising and authoritative revision; and any such revision of any branch of it is a distinct gain. From this point of view the act in question is decidedly useful, although it is by no means a perfect measure, nor even so good as Parliament might have made it. With one important exception the Partnership act, 1890, introduces no great change in the law. It amends the law in some small particulars, and it removes doubts on one or two controverted points: but, speaking generally, the act makes no important change in the law save in one respect.
