The justices, however, resolved to proceed with the Bill, and your committee feel no doubt their successors will be prepared to co-operate with the Liverpool Society in opposing this attempt to neutralise the benefit conferred by the Act.

BARRISTERS' BENEVOLENT ASSOCIA

TION.

THE first annual meeting of the Barristers' Bene-
volent Association was held on Friday afternoon,
Benchers, at the Hall of the Middle Temple.

Common Pleas at Lancaster.-The retirement of the prothonotary (Mr. Harris), having afforded an opportunity of combining the duties of assoLord Coleridge took the chair; and amongst ciate with those of the district prothonotary, in those present were the Attorney-General (Sir each district, your committee addressed the Chan- Henry James), the Solicitor-General (Sir William cellor of the Duchy in support of the proposal, Harcourt), Mr. Manisty, Q.C., Mr. Herschell, Q.C., and an arrangement has accordingly been made Mr. Edlin, Q.C., Mr. Garth, Q.C., Mr. McIntyre, by which the office of associate at the Manchester Assizes will, in future, be filled by the district.C., Mr. J. J. Powell, Q.C., Mr. D. T. Evans, J. C. Matthews, and numerous other gentlemen. prothonotary.

County Court Changes.-Your committee finding that it was again proposed to transfer Mr. Russell from Manchester to Liverpool, and to make further changes in the circuits in and about Manchester, appointed a deputation, which in company with deputations from the Corporation of Manchester and the Chamber of Commerce, was received by the Lord Chancellor, and the representations then made induced his Lordship to abandon the intention of removing Mr. Russell, and to determine to make no change at present in the Lancashire Circuits.

New County Court.-Your committee have much pleasure in reporting that the numerous representations made by your association and other public bodies, as well as by the judge and officials of the court, regarding the inadequate accommodation for the increasing business of the Manchester County Court, have at length taken effect. Your committee lately received a letter from the First Commissioner of Works stating that the Government had under consideration the question of providing a New County Court, and requesting an expression of their views before he finally decided on a site. To this communication a reply has been sent urging the importance of a central situation. Details of the accommodation required for the public and the Profession were also given, and the hope expressed that the future requirements of a rapidly increasing mercantile district would not be overlooked.

It will be remembered that this association was called into existence at a meeting of the Bar in the Middle Temple Hall on 10th Jan. 1873, and its object "is to afford assistance to necessitous and deserving members of the English Bar, special pleaders, and conveyancers, their widows and children."

The rules of the association prepared by the committee appointed at the first meeting were submitted to and finally settled by a subsequent meeting of the Bar, over which Sir John Coleridge presided.

The Hon. Sec. (Mr. Macrory) opened the proceedings by reading the notice convening the meeting; and in the report which he submitted to the meeting it showed that the general committee had opened lists for donations and subscriptions, and made appeals to the Profession, which resulted in donations to the end of 1873 amounting to £2035 15s. (received and promised), and in annual subscriptions amounting to £479. Of this sum nearly £200 had been devoted to the grant or assistance in cases which the committee, after careful examination, considered deserving. The report went on to state that the benevolent operations of the association during the first year of its existence had been limited in their scope, owing to the uncertainty felt by the committee as to the funds actually at their disposal, and it added that several urgent applications for relief were at present under their consideration.

The Chairman, in moving that the report be

Mr. Edlin, in seconding the resolution, hoped that the circulation of the report would be substantially conducive to the good of this associa

tion.

The motion was then carried.

Mr. Manisty, Q.C. said that with regard to the arrears that might be in some respect due to a delicate feeling which prompted the committee not to apply for the money, but that difficulty would in future be removed; and they might anticipate good results from a new collector who had lately been appointed. There was not the slightest reason to fear but that the money would be quickly got in, for the Profession had come forward more unanimously and earnestly than it had ever done before, and he ventured to hope that the donations would be largely increased, as well as the number of annual subscribers.

The Attorney-General deplored the abstention of the common law judges from all participation in the operations of the society, and urged the noble president to use his influence with his brethren on

the bench in their behalf.

The Chairman said that he could not understand why the judges as a body had not contributed to the funds of the association, and he promised that its claims should be fully made known to them, for he had never found that they would shut their hearts or their pockets against any reasonable claim. (Cheers.)

The Solicitor-General then proposed a vote of thanks to the Benchers of the Middle Temple for the use of the hall, which was carried.

The committee of management and the auditors were also appointed, and votes of thanks were awarded to the officers of the association in general, and in particular to Lord Coleridge, for his services in the cause, he also consenting to act as one of the trustees for the current year. The proceedings then terminated.

LEGAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION. We are asked to remind our readers that contributions in aid of the funds of this association may be sent to the honorary treasurer, Mr. J. M. Clabon, 21, Great George-street, Westminster, or they may be paid into the account of the association at the Temple Bar branch of the London and Westminster Bank. The success of this association, having in view the accomplishment of the most important objects, is due in a large degree to the undeviating and consistent support given to it by the present Lord Chancellor; and it will indeed be most fortunate if, with the

resignation by Baron Amphlett of the post of president, and the resignation of the Government, Lord Selborne could be again induced to place himself at the head of the association.

S. STONE, ESQ. THE late Samuel Stone, Esq., many years town clerk and clerk to the magistrates for the borough of Leicester, who died on the 5th inst, at his residence, Elmfield, Stonygate, near Leicester, in the seventieth year of his age, of whom we gave a short notice in our last impression, was the second son of the late Samuel Stone, Esq., at Kington, in the county of Leicester, by Mary, daughter of Joseph Chamberlin, Esq. He was born at Kington in the year 1804, and was educated at Leicester under the Rev. Charles Berry. He was admitted a solicitor in Michaelmas Term 1825, and was appointed on the 1st Jan. 1836 to the office of town clerk of the borough of Leicester. In April of the same year he was made clerk to the magis. trates of that borough, and in 1849 he was appointed clerk to the Local Board of Leicester. He retired from practice in September 1872, in consequence of failing health, and was immediately afterwards made a magistrate for the borough of Leicester. Mr. Stcne, says the Leicester Journal, BAYNTON, WILLIAM HENRY, out of business, Birmingham. Pet. during his lifetime, "was one of the few men who contrived to gain the friendship and respect of all parties. He was an active, straightforward, honest citizen, and as a public officer served the town faithfully and uprightly for more than a quarter of a century, winning the esteem and affection of his fellow townsmen, as the testimonial presented to him a short time back on his retirement from public life amply testified. Mr. Stone will be much missed in Leicester. His familiar face was always welcome at any public gathering, and he had ever a kind word for those with whom he came in contact. Affable and amiable to a degree he made no enemies, and has died respected by all. His example is one which other citizens may profitably imitate." Mr. Stone married in 1829 Catharine Smart, daughter of Benjamin Fowler, Esq., by whom he has left a family of six children. The remains of the deceased gentleman were interred in the Leicester Cemetery, the funeral being a public one, attended by the mayor, magistrates, and corporation of the borough.
