 A Century of Federal Judicature. The John G. Stn'cns, 170 ib. 113, on col lisions; The J. E. Rumbcl, 148 ib. i, on liens; and The Glide, 167 ib. 606, Workman v. Mayor of New York, 179 ib. 552, and United States v. Rodgers, 150 ib. 240, on various phases of maritime jurisdiction, are among his most important cases in admiralty. The Farqiiette Habana, 175 U. S. 677, is one of his far-reaching decisions on the subject of prize. In both the State and Federal courts he gave much attention to the difficult subject of con flict of laws, and to criminal law. Lamar v. Micon, 112 U. S. 452; Ross v. Ross, 129 Mass. 243, and Commonwealth v. Lane, 113 ib. 458, may be cited as illustrations of the former. Hilton v. Guyot, 159 U. S., 113, with respect to the validity and effect of for eign judgments, may also be mentioned in this general connection. In criminal law his most elaborate opinion was given in Sparf v. United States, 156 U. S. 51, on the longmooted question of the respective provinces of court and jury in trials for crime. A com parison of his opinion in this case with Justice Curtis' exposition of the same question in United States v. Morris, brings out very clearly a marked contrast in men tal characteristics and methods.1 1 The following are Justice Gray's leading opinions : Constitutional law : Juillard?•. Greenman, 110 .U.
