Mr. F. BRINSLEY-HARPER, J.P., has been appointed a Judicial Authority under the Lunacy Acts 1890-1911 and the Mental Deficiency Act 1913.

LAW SOCIETIES.

THE LAW SOCIETY.

IN reply to an appeal to the Profession by the president, on behalf of the British Red Cross Society, a sum of £2827 2s. 9d. has been subscribed and remitted to the treasurer for the general purposes of the society.

UNITED LAW SOCIETY. A MEETING was held on Monday at 3, King's Bench-walk, Temple, E.C. Mr. H. S. Wood-Smith moved: "That the case of Kemp v. Lewis (1914) 3 K. B. 543) was wrongly decided." Mr. S. E. Pocock opposed. The following gentlemen also spoke : Messrs. C. P. Blackwell, L. O'Malley, J. Ball, and T. Hynes. The motion was lost by two votes.

LIVERPOOL.

THE eighty-seventh annual meeting, held on the 30th ult. in the Law Library, Cook-street, found gratification in the record submitted of members of the Profession at present serving their King and country in the army and navy. Mr. W. Forshaw Wilson (president) was in the chair.

The report showed that the society now consists of 414 members. The barristers and others, not being members, who subscribe to the library number sixty-four. During the past year fifteen new members had been elected. The treasurer's statement disclosed the pleasing fact that in addition to the investments a balance of

£248 16s. 7d. was in the bank. A large number of members of the Profession practising in Liverpool and district and members of their staffs had responded to the call to join some branch of the forces for the period of the war. A list had been compiled which, up to date, included thirty-six members of the society, twenty-two solicitor-managing clerks, thirty-five articled clerks, and 120 general clerks. The committee recommended the general meeting to authorise suspension of subscriptions of all members serving in the forces until return to civil life.

The president, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, said it was a matter for legitimate pride that their Profession had responded so splendidly to the call for recruits for the army and navy. He hoped that the names of all members and legal assistants who took part in the war would ultimately be inscribed on a roll of honour fixed in some prominent position in the library to serve as a permanent record of the patriotism of their Profession. Proceeding, the president urged the claims of the society to the support of all members of the Profession. Was it Utopian, he asked, to look forward to the day when men would, as a matter of course, join the society contemporaneously with their admission on the rolls? In a comprehensive manner

he reviewed the work of the year, and touched upon a variety of topics affecting the Profession of which the society had during the year taken actice cognisance.

Mr. E. V. Crooks (vice-president) seconded, and the motion was carried.

Subsequently an extraordinary general meeting was held, at which a resolution was passed, the effect of which will be to authorise the remission of the subscriptions of members of the society and subscrib.rs to the library for the time being in the forces.

NOTES AND QUERIES.

Queries.

5. ALIEN ENEMIES.-At the outbreak of war an alien German residing in England is under contract for employment with a British firm. Whilst in such service he is interned in the Government concentration camp as an alien enemy, but is subsequently released and continues to reside in England and submits to the conditions of the Aliens Acts and proclamations. The contract is for a term of years. What is the position of the parties under it? (1) Is it terminated? (2) If not, can the employer terminate it? (3) If not, is it suspended during the war? (4) Is the alien's right to sue for breach of contract affected? (5) Have either party any claims in respect either of specific performance or breach of contract by the other? An opinion will oblige.

"Accidents"?

A workman, though strictly forbidden
to do so, jumps off specially provided
train before it stops at platform in
order to save time getting home, and
is injured.

A porter, though strictly forbidden to
do so, jumps on to an incoming train
before it stops at platform in order to
save time securing luggage, and in
doing so is injured.

Were these "Accidents"?

Did they arise "out of the employment"? Such questions as these, questions which it would be impossible to answer with certainty without the help of judicial authority, are being constantly decided in the Courts.

Many cases not elsewhere available will be reported in

No doubt after the close of the present war those nations who respect a "scrap of paper" will come to some definite agreement as to the territoriality of the air. That this country, at any rate, does not accept the principle that the right to the air above each particular country is absolute is clear from the reply of the British Government to Switzerland with reference to the flight of our airmen to Friedrichshaven. Just as the threemile limit as applied to territorial waters was coextensive with the limit of effective control when accepted by the various countries, so some means will probably be found for defining "territorial air." The problem of limit, however, is a difficult one for practical solution.

Begging and Street Collections.

FIVE judges of the King's Bench Division have now decided that persons making street collections for definite charitable objects are not "idle and disorderly " persons within the Vagrancy Act 1821. By that statute every person wandering abroad or placing himself in any public place to beg or gather alms" is to be deemed "idle and disorderly," but, as Mr. Justice DARLING pointed out, it was not directed against persons collecting for an object of a charitable nature, but against persons leading a particular kind of life who were a danger to society. Of recent years the multiplicity of street collections in the metropolis has tended to become a distinct nuisance, but other means than proceeding under the Act of 1824 exist for its suppression
