WE understand that in the event of the Right Hon. Russell Gurney being raised to the Peerage, and the office of Common Serjeant becoming vacant, the Hon. R. Bourke, M.P. for King's Lynn, will be a candidate for the vacant office. BANKRUPTCY OF A PEER.-The solicitors for Lord de Mauley have forwarded to the Lord Chancellor a certificate under the seal of the London Bankruptcy Court stating that Lord de Mauley having been adjudicated bankrupt, the requisite majority of the creditors agreed to accept £2000 and costs in full satisfaction of the debts; that those sums have been paid, and that Lord de Mauley is thereby discharged from the debts and liabilities due at his bankruptcy. Lord de Mauley has also made a declaration before a magistrate relating to liabilities excepted from the operation of such a discharge-viz., that he has not incurred any liability by means of fraud or breach of trust, nor by fraud has obtained forbearance from any debt, and that he is not a debtor to the Crown, and does not stand charged with any debt at the suit of a sheriff on a bail bond. This certificate and declaration have been laid before the House of Lords, and under the Act of last session Lord de Mauley becomes again qualified to sit and vote in the House, if the House is satisfied with the above evidence.

and important than the wheeziest of "criers of

that the foreman of a grand jury may turn round

Sir, we
quite agree with you. We are useless; these
cases have been investigated by competent magis-
trates, and therefore need not be winnowed by us.
We will, if you please, go a step further, and
observe that the same reflection applies to your-
self. Sixty-seven of the cases in the calendar
have been heard by Mr. Kynnersley, a qualified
member of the Bar, and a practised stipendiary
justice, and therefore they need not have been
committed here at all; and the other three cases
could have been sent to the assizes. If this had
been done, you need not have attended here, we
should not have been troubled by hearing the
speech you have been so good as to deliver, and
the time and money of several hundred prosecu
tors and witnesses might have been saved, for the
stipendiary magistrate would have done the work
more cheaply and expeditiously. However, as
the law places you here, and you are on the
bench, you may as well go through the duty
thrown upon you. When the sessions are over
you will probably agree with us that your time
has not been usefully employed, and that you
might have been much better engaged if you had
been allowed to remain at your practice else-
where." Such a reply, delivered in the form of a
"presentment"-which the grand jury have the
right to make-would probably surprise the re-
corder; and yet it would not be more out of place
than the personal observations he seems to think
it his business to address to the jurors.-Birming-

furnish it, and thus be compelled through fear of the seizure of his goods, to pay his creditor; while the unmarried man or clerk earning a larger salary, but only a lodger, should be enabled to defy his creditor? To abolish the present restricted power of imprisonment in the County Courts would be to afford the latter entire immunity from the payment of his debts, while the poor householder would be compelled to pay his. It must also be borne in mind that the law of bankruptcy does not apply to County Court debtors, and this furnishes a strong additional reason why a limited power of imprisonment should rest in those tribunals. In fact, without such a power exercised reasonably and justly, the County Court creditor would, as a rule, be practically without remedy, and the goodsless debtor, though with large earnings, would enjoy entire freedom from paying his debts.

THE PROFESSION.—Under this heading in the LAW TIMES of the 20th inst. are observed the views of "A Solicitor" in advocating the doctrine enunciated in previous issues of your journal under the title of "Sir Roundell Palmer's Resolutions," a perusal of which views leads me to the consideration of another point, and I must beg you therefore to allow me again to trespass upon your valuable space. By the 23 & 24 Vict. c. 127, s. 3, utter barristers in England may be admitted after three years service instead of the ordinary period of five years. Why, then, should not attorneys and solicitors have equal facilities for changing to the other branch, say keeping eight terms instead practise or take out his certificate, properly sworn? of twelve?

THE JUDGES AT ST. PAUL'S.- Last Sunday being the first Sunday in Easter Term, some of Her Majesty's judges and serjeants-at-law, according to an ancient custom, attended in State the afternoon service at St. Paul's Cathedral. In spite of the bad weather there was a very large congregation, and the service was held in the dome area. The judges present were the Lord Chief Baron, Baron Martin, Mr. Justice Grove, and Mr. Justice Quain, and the serjeants were Mr. Serjt. Simon, M.P., Mr. Serjt. Sargood, Mr. Serjt. Robinson, and Mr. Serjt. Cox, all of whom wore their full robes. On their arrival at St. Paul's they were met by the Lord Mayor, who was attended by the Rev. J. H. Coward, his chaplain, the City Marshal, and the Sword and Mace Bearers, and by Alderman Sir William Rose, Alderman and Sheriff Sir Francis Truscott, the Under-Sheriffs, the City Solicitor (Mr. Nelson), and by a large deputation from the Court of Common Council, wearing their mazarine gowns, and each carrying a bouquet. A procession was then formed, and the judicial and civic dignitaries were conducted to their seats in the choir, being followed by the clergy and choristers of the cathedral, headed by the Dean (Dr. Church) and Canons Gregory and Liddon. Prominent among the congregation were the Lady Mayoress and the Misses Gibbons, Lady Truscott, and the Bishop of Carlisle and Mrs. Goodwin. Prayers were intoned by the Rev. James Lupton, one of the minor canons, and the lessons were read by the Rev. W. H. MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY ACT.-At the Milman. The anthem was that composed by Sir last Worcester County Court an action was John Goss, the late organist of the cathedral, on brought against a husband and his wife to recover the occasion of the National Thanksgiving-"The £28, lent on her promissory note (made before Lord is my strength and my song."

Henry Parry the husband, in whom, of course the wife's chattels Liddon, D.D., the canon in residence, it being pre-vested on marriage. Shortly before action brought faced as usual with the "Bidding Prayer,' in the husband transferred his interest in the publicwhich Her Majesty's judges and the Lord Mayor, house and its contents, including the things the Aldermen, and "all who bear office in this bought with the £28. Has the poor plaintiff any ancient and loyal city," were especially mentioned. and what remedy? and can the wife be brought RECORDERS AND GRAND JURIES.-The Re- before the court on a judgment summons? corder of Birmingham, in his charge the other day, made the usual remarks about the uselessness of grand juries. Out of seventy cases, he said, sixty-seven had been heard by the stipendiary magistrate, who must know better than the grand jury, who, "however respectable they might be," had no particular qualifications to say whether an accused person should or should not be put upon trial. However, the recorder added, as the law obliged the grand jury to attend, and as they were there, they must go and "discharge the duty thrown upon them." When they came back again, the learned gentleman continued, they would doubtless agree with him that their time had not been usefully employed, and that they might have been much better engaged if they were allowed to remain at their own businesses.' This is the kind of address which, more or less politely expressed, grand juries have to listen to at our quarter sessions. We are quite of opinion that a grand jury might be dispensed with; but it may be suggested that judicial officers who think so, would do better to represent their opinion to Government, and so try to get rid of the grand jury, than to deliver addresses which cannot be agreeable to the gentlemen who have to listen to them. It is unpleasant enough to have to sit in a stuffy room for two or three days against one's will; and it certainly does not render the infliction more tolerable to be penned up in a box, and be publicly told that one is incompetent and useless, and out of date, and in the way-nothing more, in fact, than a sort of antiquated machine, less ornamental than a barrister's wig, and less useful,

IS THIS JUSTICE?

COUNTY COURT COMMITMENTS.-I quite agree with you that the writer of the leader in the Daily Telegraph of the 18th inst., advocating the abolition in effect of the present system of County Court imprisonment for debt, cannot have had a large practical experience of the subject, and certainly has not maturely considered it in all its aspects. The current fallacy lies in treating the question in the same sense as it respects the Superior and the inferior courts, for the difference lies in the subject matters, and the classes of suitors which belong to the respective tribunals. As a rule, the defendant in the Superior Courts is a person of some station and means, both of which insure the payment to the plaintiff of his recovered debt or demand, failing which the debtor may be made bankrupt, and compelled to give up all his worldly estate, both present and future, till he pays to the whole of his creditors at least 10s. in the pound, and is bound under severe punishment to render a just and true account of his dealings for a considerable time previous. The defendant in the County Court on the other hand, has often or generally neither worldly position to lose, nor tangible property to seize, and the only estate which he possesses lies in weekly earnings, that can only be reached by commitment, the dread of which alone secures to the tradesman or creditor the payment of his demand, and without which he would be practically remediless. Is it fair or reasonable that the working man who, with family is obliged to rent a house and

C. detains the ship beyond the days allowed by the charter-party for dis charging. A. brings an action against C. in England for the demurrage. The charter-party is not stamped, no which it was entered into. The Stamp Act (33 & 34 stamp being required by the laws of the country in Vict. c. 97), requires a charter-party to be stamped with a stamp of 6d. which may be denoted by au adhesive or an impressed stamp (sects. 6 & 68) and sect. 67 provides that "where any document chargeable with duty as a charter-party, and, not being duly stamped, is first executed out of the United Kingdom, any party thereto may, within ten days after it has been first received in the United Kingdom, and before it has been executed by any person in the United Kingdom, affix thereto an adhesive stamp, denoting the duty chargeable thereon, and at the same time cancel such adhesive stamp; and the instrument with an adhesive stamp thereon so affixed and cancelled shall be deemed duly stamped." Can the charter-party between A. and B. be given in evidence at the trial of the action without being stamped, having reference to the foregoing sectious aud sect. 17 of the Stamp Act, which provides "that no instrument executed in any part of the United Kingdom, or relating, wheresoever thing done, or to be done, in any part of the United executed, to any property situate or to any matter or Kingdom, shall, except in criminal proceedings, be pleaded or given in evidence, or admitted to be good, useful, or available in law or equity, unless it is duly stamped in accordance with the law in force at the time when it was first executed ?"

(Q. 122.) ECCLESIASTICAL.-In Cripps on the Law of the Church &e, chap. 5, p. 502, it is stated, "the freeho'd of the churchyard is, to a qualified extent, in the Minister," but (p. 510) the churchwardens are the proper parties to bring actious for preserving the integrity of the churchyard, not only as against strangers, but even as against the Minister himself. These officials are also to take care that the churchyards be repaired and kept in good order &c., at the cost of the parish. Hence, it seems that they may insist upon the strangers, who would be liable for trespass, upou inlocking of the gates, as is often done, at least as against trusion, subject to any right of way to be exercised by the public, by custom or prescription. The inducted

parson, for the time being, it seems, should be plaintiff in an action for trover, for recovery of the church keys, and subject to the churchwarden's right as parochial guardian, the parson has similar ownership in the churchyard-gate-keys, if any, as he is the freeholder. C. C.

LAW SOCIETIES.

SOLICITORS' BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION. THE twenty-eighth half-yearly general meeting of the members of this association was held at the Incorporated Law Society's Hall, Chancery-lane, London, on Wednesday, the 17th inst., to receive the report of the board of directors for the past six months, and to transact other business. The following gentlemen were present:Messrs. J. S. Torr, E. F. Burton, J. A. Rose, S. Williams, W. Chubb, S. Smith, P. Rickman, W. B. Brook, W. B. Gates (Northampton), H. W. Hooper (Exeter), J. H. Kays, E. Mote, J. W. Proudfoot, H. Sowton, E. A. Hilder (Gravesend), E. W. Williamson, W. Crossman, G. M. Jauncey, F. T. Woolbert, G. B. Batchelor, &c.

Mr. J. S. Torr (the chairman of the board of directors during the present year) having been requested to take the chair, did so, and after some few introductory observations, called upon the secretary (Mr. Eiffe) to read the notice convening the meeting, the minutes of the previous meeting, and the half-yearly report.

The following was the report read:-"The directors, in compliance with the rules of the association, have the pleasure to present this their twenty-eighth half-yearly statement of the progress and operations of the association during the past six months. Since their last report in Oct. 1871, sixty-three new members have joined the association, thereby increasing its aggregate number to 2201, of whom 762 are life members, and 1439 annual subscribers. Twenty-two of the life members are also annual contributors. The usual audited abstract of the accounts is appended, from which it will be seen that the receipts during the half-year terminating the 31st March last, amounted (with the balance of £531 193. 4d. remaining from the previous account) to £3111 11s. 6d. This exceptionally large amount of receipts is attributable to the society having been recently favoured with several legacies-First, of two sums of Consols, of £1333 6s. 8d. and £121 0s. 2d. respectively, from the executors of the late John Saunders, Esq., of St. Ann's-villa, Burnham, Somersetshire, in pursuance of the will, and deed of appointment thereunder, mentioned in the directors' report of Oct. 1370; secondly, of a sum of £150 cash bequeathed to the association by the late Mrs. Charlotte Elizabeth Walmesley, of Connaught-square, London; and, thirdly, of a sum of £90 cash, bequeathed by the late Mrs. Frances Sarah Clowes, of Norfolk-terrace, Bayswater. In respect of the last-mentioned of these bequests, the directors have thought it a fit occasion to exercise the power conferred on them by Rule 4 of the association, by electing, as an honorary life member, Mr. Thomas Charles Allin, solicitor, of Angel-court, Throgmorton-street, London, one of the executors of Mrs. Clowes's will. The sum of £449 has been distributed during the half-year, in grants of relief; £235 of it having been given to the widows and families of seven deceased members of the association, and £205 to the families of sixteen deceased non-members. Besides the Consols above mentioned, £1102 further of London and North Western Railway Four per Cent. Perpetual Debenture Stock has been purchased by the directors as an investment, and the total funded capital of the association is now consequently become increased to £22,642 12s. Stock, consisting of £6525 13s. 2d. Consols, £7803 17s. 8d. India Five per Cents., £5016 1s. 2d. India Four per Cents., and £3,307 London and North-Western Railway Four per Cent. Perpetual Debenture Stock, producing together dividends amounting to £897 per annum. A balance of £254 13s. 1d. remains to the credit of the association with the Union Bank of London, and a sum of £15 is in the secretary's hands. The directors have great pleasure in announcing that Lord Cairns has kindly consented to preside at the ensuing anniversary festival of the association, which is to take place on Thursday, June 13th next, at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's, London. The directors very earnestly hope for the hearty cooperation of their professional brethren throughout the kingdom, in their efforts to render the approaching festival as beneficial to the interests of the association as the most successful of those which have been yet held. Already seventy-eight members of the Profession have kindly given their names as stewards, and the secretary will be happy to receive further names, or contributions for announcement at the festival.-(Signed on behalf of the board), JOHN SMALE TORR, Chairman." The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the meeting on the large increase in the society's receipts disclosed by it, and which arose in a great degree from legacies, all of

which, he remarked, had been bequeathed by per sons who were not members of the legal profession; and he urged on all solicitors present to miss no opportunity of bringing the merits of the society to the notice of those of their clients who, when making their wills, were seeking fit objects for their charitable bequests. The chairman explained that the reason why only 4401. had been distributed in relief during the past half year, out of the 1000l. at the directors' disposal, was that scarcely any urgent case of extreme want or destitution on the part of a member, or of a member's family, had come before the board during that period, most of the applications having been by persons unconnected with, or having but slender claims on, the society, but that the directors were fully prepared to grant liberal relief to members or their families whenever fit occasion arose for it; and he (the chairman) hoped that in suitable cases it would be in the way of annuity, a mode of help which, besides its many practical advantages over casual gifts, possessed that important one mentioned by Paley of relieving the mind from the harassing and paralysing "dread of want."

The report and balance sheet were then unanimously adopted.

An alteration intended to be proposed in one of the rules of the association, so as to admit of an addition to the number of auditors, had to be adjourned, owing to a sufficient complement of members not being present to comply with the provisions of the 19th rule on the subject of alterations in the rules, but the opinions of those present in favour of the proposed alteration were signified by a resolution to that effect. The usual votes of thanks to the directors, auditors, and chairman, brought the proceedings of the meeting to a termination.

INCORPORATED LAW SOCIETY. THE following is a record of the proceedings at the twenty-fifth annual general meeting, held at the society's hall, on Wednesday, April 17, 1872, Mr. J. A. Rose in the chair.

The secretary read the report and the annual balance sheet. Resolved,

1. On the motion of the chairman, "That the report of the committee of management be adopted, and that it be printed and circulated in the usual way."

2. On the motion of Mr. C. Francis, of Cambridge, seconded by Mr H. W. Hooper, of Exeter, That the cordial thanks of the association be presented to the committee of management for their labours during the past year."

6. On the motion of Mr. Stephen Williams,

seconded by Mr. Burton, "That the best thanks of this meeting be presented to Mr. Lewis Fry, of Bristol, for his services during the past year, and to Mr. J. A. Rose for his able conduct in the chair this day." PHILIP RICKMAN, Secretary.

Mr. Hanhart opened the subject for the evening's debate, viz., "That the Royal Prerogative with respect to the making of Treaties requires limitation." The motion was carried by a majority of one.

LIVERPOOL LAW STUDENTS' SOCIETY. Ox Tuesday, the 16th instant, at the Law Library, Cook-street, a special convened meeting of this society was held for the purpose of consi dering the desirability of sending delegates to the Law Students' Societies Congress to be held at Birmingham in May next, Mr. Alfred D.
