Its existence was indicative of a lacuna, one which academics would not fill. It took a group of law students, balancing their studies and other commitments, to organise such a publication.

When the time comes for the next issue we students of the Academical Course of Laws 1941-46 who were responsible for the birth of this Journal will have left the University where we have spent, perhaps, the happiest years of our life. We do not intent to be sentimental or to give out the heart-rending song of the dying swan; but, as John Drinkwater in the introduction to his anthology of English verse, ''The way of Poetry: rightly observes: ''Nothing in the world gives people so much pleasure as making things"; and we cannot help feeling a certain pride when we look back and recall those great and terrible days when the Journal came into being and when we set the foundation of what we may look upon as a tribute of love to our Athaeneum. It is with hope not mixed with anxiety that we pause on the threshold of this august institution and bid farewell: anxiety, because the future is always veiled in mystery, especially in periods of transition like the present; hope, because handling the flame over to our successors in the management of this periodical, we are confident that it will be left burning and handed over and over again: a pageant of youth and activity that will defy time and will live on to the great glory of our land and of our Alma Mater.

One of the noblest and worthiest sons of Malta is Sir Antonio Micallef; his life is a model life of probity and learning, honour and modesty. During his seventy nine years of peregrination on this earth which he considered as a stepping-stone to the next, he became the object of universal admiration, esteem and affection. He was an eminent and talented jurist, a warmhearted patriot, a most loving father.

Abstract: THE subject of this lecture Concerns the juridical status of those person who, in the contract of commercial partnership, are styled as "general partners". because they are held by law to guarantee without any limitation as to the amount and in and in solidum between them al the obligations entered into by the partnership to which they belong. These general partners are to be found in the partnership en nom collectif and in the partneiship enr commandite. Now, are these general partners to be considered always and under all circumstances as traders in terms of law. And, consequently, are they to benefit from and bear the consequences of all the provisions of the law enacted for and against traders? In other words, does a general partner become a trader in terms of law solely because he happens to be a general partner abstracting from the fact whether in his private individual life he actually exercises objective acts of trade in his own name? It is to this question that I propose to give an answer. Description: This item has been retyped from the original and pagination will differ from the original. 1946-01-01T00:00:00Z
