Grimwood Taylor, M.A., who now is the sole survivor in the business. Mr. Taylor was a leading member of the Derby Law Society, of which he acted as president last year. His loss is much regretted throughout Derby and the neighbourhood. He married, in 1847, Miss Anne Whitear, daughter of the Rev. William Whitear, of Starston, Norfolk, by whom he has left issue, in addition to his son, one daughter.

W. B. Jones and Co. 222 Marylebone County Court.-Cowney v. Thompson 222 GENERAL INTELLIGENCE House of Lords, deferred making a speech upon it, reserving what he had to say until the day before yesterday (Thursday). Lord ESHER rightly appreciates the position. He has probably read with attention all that has been said about the abuses of our judicial system, and we are glad that it should have been reserved for him to expose them to the public eye in the august Chamber, where the law receives its final interpretation. There is no living judge to whom the Profession owes more than it owes to Lord ESHER; there is no other judge to whom it could look with greater confidence in the critical time through which it is now passing. LORD ESHER announced his intention of moving for a special commission to investigate abuses, with a view to the application of the appropriate remedies. It may confidently be expected that both Lord HALSBURY and Lord HERSCHELL will support this proposal. We have already pointed out that this is the only course to be adopted; the whole truth cannot be known without it. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave his hearty approval to Mr. FINLAY'S Bill. That is not enough, because the Bill in its present form is a very small measure of reform. We shall watch with some interest, the course taken by Lord COLERIDGE, upon whose shoulders has rested for some years the whole responsibility of regulating business in the Queen's Bench Division. WITH regard to a paragraph that appeared in our last week's number, in which we referred to a case tried at Worcester Assizes, when Mr. Justice CAVE allowed a prisoner who had pleaded guilty to a charge of rape, and had been sentenced, to withdraw his plea and plead not guilty, the result being that he was acquitted, we have received a communication from a correspondent, who states he was present at Chester Assizes some few years ago, where a somewhat similar state of things occurred. A prisoner was tried before Mr. Justice STEPHEN for embezzlement, and, after a careful defence by counsel, was found guilty and sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment. As the prisoner was being removed to the cells, he called out that he wished to ask one of the witnesses certain questions. Mr. Justice STEPHEN allowed the prisoner to stand back. The witnesses were recalled and cross-examined by the prisoner himself as to certain facts which were not present to the mind of his counsel, and Mr. Justice STEPHEN then asked the jury if their previous verdict of guilty was correct or not. The jury came to the conclusion that their verdict was incorrect, and the prisoner was acquitted. The above facts appeared shortly afterwards in an article in the Nineteenth Century by Mr. Justice STEPHEN, on the subject of prisoners being allowed to give evidence in their own defence. THE Trustee Appointment Bill is remarkable among the Bills of the present session by its having a good prospect of becoming law. It was read a third time and passed the House of Lords on June 30, and it was read a second time in the House of Commons on July 7. Its main purpose is to apply the Act of 1850 (13 & 14 Vict. c. 28), the object of which is "to render more simple and effectual the titles by which congregations and societies for purposes of religious worship or education in England and Ireland hold property," to any land acquired by trustees in connection with any society or body of persons comprising several congregations or other sections or divisions or component parts associated together for any religious purpose. The land must be held in trust for one of six purposes, these being (1) a place for religious worship; (2) an endowment or provision for the maintenance of a place of religious worship or the minister thereof, or provision for expenses connected therewith; (3) a burial ground; (4) a place for education and training of students, whether for the ministry or for any other purposes; (5) a school-house for a Sunday school, day school, or other school; and (6) a residence for a minister or schoolmaster, or for the caretaker of a place of religious worship, or of a school-house or a meeting-house, or offices or other buildings for or in connection with religious or educational purposes. To all cases within the Acts of 1850 and 1869 (32 & 33 Vict. c. 26), and within the Bill of 1890, the statutory powers to appoint trustees will be made applicable, and the vesting clause of the Act of 1850 will be extended. We wish the promoters of the Bill the success which their perseverance deserves, and we hope that their Bill will become an Act, and remove an admitted difficulty. Now that the liability of directors and promoters of joint-stock companies is under the consideration of the Legislature, it would be very advantageous if, by way of set off against the increased responsibility which seems likely to be cast upon them, steps could be taken to remove the unnecessary difficulties caused by the obscure provisions of sect. 38 of the Companies Act 1867 as to the disclosure of contracts. What are the contracts which must be disclosed in a prospectus or "notice inviting persons to subscribe for shares"? Where is the line to be drawn between contracts which must, and contracts which need not be disclosed; |
