SILAS ALWARD.

Silas Alward, Esq., K.C., D.C.L., whose portrait appears in this issue, will be known to the readers of the LAW TIMES as one of the ablest of its contributors. Last year Mr. Alward contributed three splendid articles, "Three Great Charters of English Freedom," "Lord Chief Justice Holt," and "The Evolution of Chancery and the Judicial Murder of Sir Thomas Moore," and in the present issue is a particularly able and illuminating article on "The Foreshore." This question recently came into the lime-light by an attempt on the part of the New Brunswick legislature to grant away the rights of the people to the use of the foreshore. So great was the indignation aroused and so strong the protest that the bill was withdrawn. Similar legislation is at present being attempted by the British Columbia legislature and it is hoped that the fate of the bill will be similar to that in New Brunswick. Much of the credit for the defeat of the measure is due to the work and influence of Mr. Alward and the readers of his article in this issue will find it not only interesting but will find the law on the subject very complete. Mr. Alward has a very large practice in St. John and is one of the most influential men in the province.
