that it is an obstacle which is serious in proportion to the fewness of the societies; as these increase it will almost certainly diminish. Summary. The proposals I have laid before you are therefore shortly these:-1. The amalgamation of the Incorporated Law Society and the Metropolitan and Provincial Law Associations. 2. The formation of an adequate number of local law societies, and the establishment of a connection between the London society and the local law societies on the one hand, and the local law societies between themselves on the other. I have purposely avoided entering into detail as to the manner in which these changes are to be worked out, both because I am anxious not to distract your attention from what has to be done by a premature discussion on how to do it, and because I conceive the difficulties to be, not in carrying out, but in initiating the scheme. When the men of our Profession awake to the fact that with all their great power they are comparatively powerless; when they draw the inference that this arises from an imperfect organisation, and, when realising this, they make up their minds to act, that first step will involve the rest. I do not say that I attach no importance to the form which our organisation is to take; on the contrary, I consider it most important: but I think the form of infinitely less moment than the substance. This plan may be better than that; but this or that plan is nothing compared with the determination to have an organisation of some kind at any price and without delay. LIST OF TOWNS IN WHICH NO LAW SOCIETIES AT PRESENT EXIST. The number of Attorneys is given in parentheses. Hereford (26) Huddersfield (44) Ipswich (38) Lewes (17) Newport, Monmouth (33) Pembroke and Dock (18) The minutes of the previous meeting having been duly confirmed, the honorary secretary, Mr. C. T. Bateman, read the committee's report, which was, on his motion, unanimously adopted, of the proceedings and position of the society during the preceding session; and proposed, as new members, Messrs. J. H. Clayton, L. R. Entwisle, Charles Lord, Thomas Marshall, Nicholson, and William Pratt. The election of officers, appointed to take place on that evening, was by special resolution postponed to the following meeting. R. M. Pankhurst, Esq., LL.D., barrister-atlaw, delivered a lecture on "The historic and philosophic methods in relation to the study of the law." He believed the present was a moment of supreme importance with respect to the study of the law in England, for he believed they were on the point of entering upon a much higher estimate of the relation which the legal Profession bore to the political and social system. They all knew that soon after any great political reforin in which society has made some substantial advance, the law, which was solid and inflexible, had to be amended, so as to bring it into har mony with the altered state of society. Some years ago there was a settlement of the consti- Mr. J. F. Milne, solicitor, in moving a vote of utmost. Mr. Cooper, solicitor, seconded the motion, which was passed with acclamation. Dr. Pankhurst, in the course of his reply, after referring to the Married Women's Property Act 1870, which he characterised as a very faulty measure, expressed a hope that the time was not far distant when acts of Parliament, before becoming law, would be reduced to plain, intelligi. ble terms, so that they might not have the judges saying, "this is a muddle of words called an Act of Parliament, and we have to give an intelligible meaning to it, but we cannot do so, and must do as well as we can." It was the function of Parliament to say that they wanted certain things doing, but they should leave to competent legal draftsmen to say how it should be done. What was wanted was a body of legal advisers to take up the ideas which Parliament submitted, and reduce them to a technical but intelligible form before they received the royal saction. Thanks were then respectively accorded to the The second meeting of the present session of the Messrs. C. J. Cooper, Jonas Craven, and G. H. The Chairman then called upon Mr. Grundy to ARTICLED CLERKS' SOCIETY. A MEETING of this society was held at 1, Milford- Gresham, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Masterman, Mr. Sidney Smith, and Mr. Boodle (secretary), the sum of £50 was granted to the widow of a member, a grant of £10 was made to the widow of a nonmember, and two new members were elected. LAW STUDENTS' DEBATING SOCIETY. AT the usual weekly meeting of the society, held at the Law Institution on Tuesday evening last, the following question was discussed, No. 526, decease equally to testator's brothers, but if any legal: "Bequest to A. for life, and after her died (leaving issue) during A.'s lifetime, their shares to be divided equally amongst their children. Are children of a brother who died before the date of the will, and of whose death testator must have had knowledge, entitled to share ?" The question was decided in the nega tive. UNION SOCIETY OF LONDON. AT a meeting of this society, held at the rooms of the Social Science Association, No. 1, Adam-street, Adelphi, on Tuesday evening last, the following subject was opened for discussion by Mr. Charles Ford, "That the Happiness of Mankind is not Increased by Civilisation." After an animated debate, in which members of both branches of the legal Profession took part (the attendance of members being unusually large), the motion was lost by a majority of 1. SOLICITORS' BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION.

PETERBOROUGH ARTICLED CLERKS' ON Thursday evening, the 27th Nov., a meeting The subject for debate was "The Advisability of Admitting any of the So-called Woman's Rights." Mr. Morgan opened in the affirmative, and Mr. C. V. Thorneycroft opposed. On being put to the meeting the question was decided in the negative by a large majority. LEGAL OBITUARY.

THE late Henry John Bartley, Esq., of No. 30, Somerset-street, Portman-square, W., solicitor, who died on the 22nd ult., at his residence in Abbey-place, St. John's-wood, at the age of fortyseven, was the eldest surviving son of the late Charles Pitt Bartley, Esq., solicitor. The de. carried on business in Somerset-street for nearly ceased gentleman, together with his father, had half a century, and by their upright and sterling qualities had achieved a considerable reputation. He was highly esteemed and appreciated by a large circle of friends. The remains of the deceased gentleman were interred in Kensal-green Cemetery. T. H. A. POYNDER, ESQ. barrister-at-law, of Hartham-park and HillTHE late Thomas Henry Allen Poynder, Esq., marton, Wiltshire, who died on the 26th ult. at Bath, in the sixtieth year of his age, was the eldest son of the late Thomas Poynder, Esq., Marianne, daughter of Allen Cooper, Esq., of the of Hartham-park and Hillmarton, by Sarah Hon. East India Company's Service. He was born in the year 1814, and was educated at the Charterhouse and at Brasenose College, Oxford, where he took his Bachelor's degree in 1836, and proceeded M.A. in 1838. He was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincoln's-inn in Trinity Term 1839, and practised for some Ar the usual monthly meeting of the directors, but retired some years ago from the active duties time at chambers in New-square, Lincoln's-inn, held at the hall of the Incorporated Law Society, ( of his profession. Like many members of his in Chancery-lane, on Thursday, the 4th inst., the following being present, viz,' Mr. Desborough organising various movements of a charitable family, Mr. Poynder took an active part in (chairman), Mr. Steward, Mr. Burges, Mr. nature in Wiltshire and in the metropolis, and his LAW ASSOCIATION. name will consequently long be remembered by those who have participated in his liberality. Mr. Poynder was a commissioner of lieutenancy for the city of London, and a magistrate and deputy. lieutenant for Middlesex and Wiltshire, and served as high sheriff of the latter county in 1865. He married in 1842, Mary Anne, daughter of Robert Edmeades, Esq., and became a widower about two years ago. T. BRANSON, ESQ. THE late Thomson Branson, Esq., solicitor, of Sheffield, who died at his residence, Broom Grove, in that town, on the 29th Oct., in the eighty-first year of his age, was the eldest son of the late Mr. Anthony Branson, of Ketton, in the county of Rutland, and was born at Matlock, Derbyshire, in the year 1793. He was admitted a solicitor in Hilary Term 1815, and at the time of his death he was the senior member of the Profession at Sheffield. Mr. Branson acted for many years as consular agent of the United States of America at Sheffield, and he was one of the founders of Wesley College, in that town, of which successful institution he continued to be a trustee and the secretary from its opening to the time of his decease, a period of upwards of thirty years. The deceased gentleman was married, and has left issue a son, Mr. Charles Anthony Branson, who was admitted into the Profession in 1853, and was in partnership with his father. His remains were interred at the Sheffield Cemetery. JOHN P. FEARON, ESQ. WE regret to announce the death of Mr. John P. Fearon, the head of the well-known firm of Fearon, Clabon, and Fearon, solicitors and parliamentary agents, in Great George-street, Westminster. Mr. Fearon, from failing health, had lately resided at his house, near Cuckfield, Sussex, his native place, where he died on the 17th ult., in his seventieth year. Mr. Fearon was the son of the Rev. Joseph Francis Fearon, for many years vicar of Cuckfield. He was educated at the formerly well-known school of Dr. Gurney, at Greenwich. He was admitted in the year 1825, and it was not long before he attained eminence both as a solicitor and parliamentary agent. We take the following from the Sussex Express: "One of those farsighted men, who, in the infancy of the railway system, perceived the importance of its extension through the country, he was, with a few others, the originator of the South-Eastern Railway; and it was he who suggested, and at a critical moment, accomplished, the purchase of the Folkestone Harbour, the control of which he saw to be essential to the foreign traffic of that line. Subsequently Mr. Fearon was appointed solicitor to the Attorney-General in ex officio charity suits; and we are assured that his reports on the cases which were thus brought before him, would form a very instructive volume on the true principles of charity law. The dutles of this office obliged him to deal much with educational schemes in connection with endowed schools, and it may be interesting to many, at the present time, to learn that he was always opposed to mere secular teaching, which he held to be simply impossible. It was mainly owing to his suggestions that the Act was passed constituting the present Charity Commission. But though a man of acute intellect and extensive knowledge, he will be remembered in his native place chiefly from the unvarying kindness, sweetness of temper, and cheerfulness which endeared him alike to rich and poor." We may add that Mr. Fearon's abilities and high principle, coupled with his geniality and gentle. ness of manner, won him the respect and kindly regard of all his professional brethren. His death will be generally regretted. Matthews v. Roberts Newcomen v. Wharton Hodges v. Wieland Cruickshank v. Bland Steers v. Eveleigh Smith v. Keysell Jackson v. Paul Gould v. Clavey Barnston v.
