No return has been made since March 1906. A return from that date was in April last ordered by Parliament. No explanation is given in the official returns that in any way explains why the expenses of the Middlesex Registry should have increased from £2030 in 1900 to 10,493 in 1906. It has been suggested that the explanation is that the registry officials who receive and apply the Middlesex Registry fees have debited this department with an undue proportion of the general expenses of the office so as to minimise the loss incurred in the Land Registry Department in connection with the experimental trial of the system of compulsory registration of title. If the expenses of the Middlesex Deed Registry were covered by £2030 in March 1900, it is suggested that this sum would cover the expenses to-day. In that case it is clear that, in view of the annual receipts of the registry as shown above, the estimate made that the profits amount to £15,000 per annum is fully justified. The profits made in the Middlesex Registry justify, it is submitted, the estimate made that the profits of the Deed Registry would amount to £12,000 per annum if deed registry were extended to that portion of the county of London that lies south of the Thames. The area and population that this part of the county embrace suggests, indeed, that the estimate is a conservative one. In considering the profits made by a deed registry it must be borne in mind that the business is purely ministerial and largely automatic, so that the necessity for experts (to whom substantial salaries have to be paid) is non-existent. This is one of the principal distinctions between a registry of deeds and a registry of titles.

LAW ASSOCIATION.

THE usual monthly meeting of the directors was held at the Law Society's Hall on the 5th inst., Mr. W. P. Richardson in the chair. The other directors present were Mr. T. H. Gardiner (treasurer), Mr. F. W. Emery, Mr. A. Toovey, Mr. Mark Waters, Mr. W. M. Woodhouse, and Mr. E. E. Barron (secretary). A sum of £50 was voted for the relief of deserving applicants, a new life member and two annual subscribers were elected, and other general business was

11.-Re the Middlesex Registry.—Statement as to Profits. Extract from a report (June 1879) of the Select Committee on Land Transfer appointed in 1878: "From a return recently laid before Parliament it appears that the fees received in the Middlesex Registry Office amounted in the year 1877 to the sum of £14,043 5s. 6d., whilst the necessary expense of such office amounted to a sum of £4372 0s. 5d. only." If in 1877 the profit of the registry was thus £10.000, it is not an unreasonable assumption that, in view of the growth of the population in Middlesex during the subsequent thirty-four years, the profits could now be safely estimated at £15,000. Since the system of compulsory registration of title under the Land Transfer Act 1897 came into operation in the county of London in Jan. 1899 the Land Registry has, in the case of transactions registered under the Land Transfer Act, superseded the Middlesex Registry, and has proportionately reduced the fees and consequently the profits of that registry. The following figures are taken from returns made under the Middlesex Registry Act 1708 and the Land Registry (Middlesex Deeds) Act 1891:

CUSTODY OF PARISH REGISTERS.-May I draw your attention and that of your readers to the important and interesting paper real by Mr. Moser, of Kendal, at the recent meeting of the Law Society at Nottingham dealing with the custody of our parish registers. and the resolution which was adopted to the effect that it is desir able that in the interests of the public the law should be amende l' For many years past it has been common knowledge that the mode of preservation of these valuable records has been not only open to question, but has been a crying scandal, and yet the Legislature has done absolutely nothing to remedy the matter. That these registers are of extreme value to the public few would be found to deny, but this fact does not appear as yet to have penetrated the brains of those whose duty it is to the public to preserve them. The view which antiquaries take with regard to the importance of these records is well exemplified by a footnote on parish registers which appeared in the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle-upon-Tyne published in the year 1889, which is as follows: "The estates in suspense or which were lately so for want of heirs of the family of Stote, of Jesmond, in Northumber land, also that of Barnesley, of Barnesley Hill, in Worcestershire, and several others, are recent instances of the value of registers and of the utility that may arise to the community from them when correct and carefully preserved." Of the dangers and difficulties which may ensue in cases where the registers have not been care fully preserved Mr. Moser's paper forms an unanswerable bill of complaint. Ignorance of these dangers cannot be pleaded by the Legislature, for I find that so recently as the year 1908 Mr. Arthur Meredith Burke, in that excellent work of his entitled A Key t the Ancient Parish Registers of England and Wales, after mentioning the value of such registers to the family historian for the clues they afford, expressed his regret that so little had then been done by the Legislature to secure the safe custody of what he styles "these national records." He refers to an actual case in which the registers had been sold by auction at the highest bid on the death of an incumbent, and he draws attention to the fact that it was stated before a Select Committee of the House of Commons that a certain rector used to direct his pheasants with the parchment of the old registers. Whilst on this subject I would like to draw attention to the want of preservation of what are known as the "bishops' transcripts," which are copies of the registers sent from time to time to the registrar of each diocese. It is well known that the greater portion of these transcripts are kept in no sort of order or arrangement, and are therefore difficu' to consult. Now, Sir, it seems only too likely that the resolution passed at Nottingham will lead to no satisfactory result un ess further action be taken, and my object in writing is to enlist no only your sympathies, but your active co-operation in an agitation in favour of such legislation as will ensure the effective cure of 's evils to which Mr. Moser has alluded.

THE OPENING OF THE LAW COURTS.-Having an inquiring mind, may I ask why it is that the solicitor branch of the Profession take no official part in the Abbey service prior to the opening of the courts? A continental lawyer (who is solicitor and barrister as we understand the functions), unfamiliar with our system, might very well be excused if, on reading the usual notice of the Attorney-General, he came to the conclusion that solicitors have no responsibility and take no professional part in litigation in England. Do solicitors think prayers are unnecessary in the case of their branch, or is it extreme modesty that prevents them from taking part officially through the president of the Law Society and several members of the council in an official solemn service before the commencement of each legal year?

37. ILLEGITIMATE CHILD OF TESTATRIX-STRANGER IN BLOOD.Can any reader refer to any case or decision in which it has been decided that an illegitimate child of a testatrix is a stranger in blood for the purposes of the payment of the 10 per cent. legacy? There is a case of Anderson v. Atkinson (46 L. T. Rep. 850; 21 Ch. Div. 100), in which an illegitimate child of a testator is decided to be, within the meaning of the Stamp Act 1815 and the Customs and Inland Revenue Act 1888, a stranger in blood. There appears to be a considerable distinction in the relationship of a mother of an illegitimate child as compared with the father; in the eye of the law she is the mother and the legal guardian of the child.

He frequently sat as deputy registrar, and for one year occupied the presidential chair of the Leeds Law Society. Mr. Peckover was admitted in 1888.
