RENEWAL OF PRACTISING THE following notice has been posted at the Hall of the Law Society: The council having been requested to express an opinion as to the renewal of the practising certificates of solicitors serving in His Majesty's Forces, they desire to state: (1) That the certificate duty, having been imposed by statute, must be paid in the absence of new legislation to the contrary; (2) that any solicitor taking any profits from his business or from the business of his firm must take out a practising certificate; (3) that the name of any solicitor not taking out a certificate to practise cannot be entered in the Law List.

WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION.-I send the following which I have copied from my notebook: Where a workman is incapacitated for work by reason of an accident arising out of and in the course of his employment, the liability of the employer to pay compensation will remain notwithstanding that the continuance of such incapacity is caused by a supervening physical disability-e.g., heart disease, scarlet fever, lunacy, imbecility following on old age, or detention in prison of the workman: (Harwood v.

ON Thursday the full Court of Appeal, consisting of the Master of the Rolls, the five Lords Justices, and presided over by the Lord Chief Justice, sat to consider some points that have arisen with regard to alien enemies and proceedings in the courts. It is eminently essential that all questions arising out of the war and the emergency legislation should be disposed of by all the judges of the Court of Appeal sitting together, and that as soon as possible after the appeals are set down. We cannot recollect a previous instance where a special court of seven judges has been formed, but in certain cases a court of six has sat for dealing with matters of more than usual importance. The last instance was in May 1912, in Scott v. Scott (107 L. T. Rep. 211), where the right to hear nullity suits in camera, and questions as to contempt of court and appeal in a "criminal cause or matter," were discussed. Solicitors' Certificates. MR.
