VICE-CHANCELLOR WICKENS.

THE late Vice-Chancellor Sir John Wickens, who died on the 23rd ult., at his residence, Chilgrove, near Chichester, in the fifty-ninth year of his age, was the second son of the late James Stephen Wickens, Esq., solicitor, of Chandos-street, Cavendish-square, London, by Anne Goodenough, daughter of John Hayter, Esq., of Winterbourne Stoke, Wilts, and sister of the Right Hon. Sir William Goodenough Hayter, of Southill Park, Berks. He was born in the year 1815, and was educated under Dr. Keate at Eton, where he obtained the Newcastle Scholarship, and soon afterwards he was elected to an open scholarship at Balliol College, Oxford, then in the height of its first successes under the late Dr. Jenkins, afterwards Dean of Wells. At Oxford he closed his undergraduate career, during which he obtained, among other distinctions, the Newdigate Prize for English Verse, by taking his Bachelor's degree in Michaelmas Term 1836, as a "double first class." He did not, however, obtain the much coveted honour of a Balliol Fellowship, as his facetious propensities had shown themselves in several practical jokes against the master and tutors of his college, which appeared to them to render it extremely doubtful whether he would ever settle down into a staid, sober, and demure

lieutenant for the county of Durham, and served as high sheriff of that county in 1848. He was also for many years Custos Brevium of the Court of Common Pleas until the abolition of that office, when he retired with a pension, and he was like. wise formerly Major of the Durham Militia. According to Sir Bernard Burke, the family of the late baronet is descended from Robert de Eden, who died in 1413; and they have received two peerages, in the persons of Lord Henley and Lord Auckland. The baronetcy of West Auckland was conferred, in 1672, upon Robert Eden, Esq., of that place, M.P. for Durham, and that of Maryland in 1776, on the governor of the province of Maryland, who was the second son of the third baronet of the older creation. The issue of the eldest son having become extinct in 1844, the representation of the family and of the two baronetcies devolved on Sir William Eden, the baronet now deceased. The late baronet married in 1844 Elfrida, youngest daughter of Colonel Iremonger, of Wherwell Priory, Hampshire, by whom he had a family of four sons and five daughters. His eldest surviving son, William, who now succeeds to the title and estates, was born in 1849.

Balliol Common Room. He afterwards settled in London to study for the Bar, and in Easter Term 1840, he was called by the Honourable Society of Lincoln's-inn, and in a short time obtained a considerable practice. His reputation as an equity draftsman while at the Bar was very great, and he was believed to possess a most accurrate acquaintance with the science of Chancery pleading, which, as most of our readers know, is a branch of knowledge not now much cultivated. In 1868 he was appointed to succeed the present Lord Justice James, who was then made a ViceChancellor of England, as Vice-Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, a position which has often proved a stepping stone to the bench of the High Court of Chancery. Mr. Wickens held at the same time another office which is now looked upon as giving its occupant a still greater claim to a judgeship. He acted for some time as what is called the Attorney-General's "Devil" in Equity. In April, 1871, the deceased judge succeeded Sir John Stuart, on his resignation, as one of the Vice-Chancellors of England. The career of Sir John Wickens on the judicial bench, though so short, was sufficient to show that he possessed the very highest qualities which can be looked for in an equity judge. Indeed, he had showed himself to be abundantly endowed with these even when practising at the Bar. There was always something fair and judicial in his In his judicial arguments as an advocate. capacity Sir John Wickens was called upon to deal with a number of difficult cases, including, in particular, many which involved the constructions of wills, and very few of his decisions were called

in question with success. His name is perhaps

best known to the public as the judge who decided the case of Aylesford v. Morris, which at the time was very much canvassed in all quarters. Vice-Chancellor Wickens, it will be remembered, relieved the Earl of Aylesford from a bargain by which he had agreed to pay within six months of his attaining his majority interest at the rate of sixty per cent. for a loan of money, and the ViceChancellor's decision was in March last upheld on appeal by the Lord Chancellor and the Lords Justices. He was a stuff gownsman down to his elevation to the Bench, an appointment which he held for many years as Equity Junior to the Attorney-General being incompatible with his taking silk, and he never aspired to a seat in Parliament. "Sir John Wickens," says a contemporary," was one of those men whose elevation did not place a distance between himself and his contemporaries at the Bar. He was always easy and unaffected in his manners, both in and out of court, and even since his elevation to the Bench the Vice-Chancellor walking away from his court with his cigar in his lips was not an unfamiliar figure in the precincts of Lincoln's Inn." The late Vice-Chancellor Wickens married, in 1845, Harriet Frances, daughter of William Davey, Esq., of Cowley House, Gloucestershire, by whom he leaves a family to lament his loss.

THE NEW SYSTEM OF BUYING A HOUSE WITHOUT MONEY.

BIRKBECK BUILDING SOCIETY,

29 AND 30, SOUTHAMPTON-BUILDINGS,

CHANCERY-LANE, LONDON.

TOST PERSONS ARE FAMILIAR with what is known as the " THREE YEARS' SYSTEM" of the Pianoforte Makers, by which anyone who Hires an 1rument and pays the Hire for that period, becomes the ABSOLUTE OWNER OF THE PIANOFORTE. Previously to the introduction of this plan it was almost as difficult for those of limited income to buy a good Pianoforte as BUY A HOUSE; and persons went on year after year, paying for the Hire of an Instrument, and expended as much money as would have bought the Pianoforte sev ral times over.

What will hold good for Pianofortes will hold good for HOUSES; and there are many who would no doubt AVAIL THEMSELVES OF THE OPPORTUNITY, if it was afforded them, of becoming

THE OWNER OF A HOUSE

in the same way as they have already become the owner of their planoforte. THE DIRECTORS

by local professional men of the tedious mode of procedure and of the whole system of trial by naval courts martial. Reform is absolutely necessary, and we wish the petitioners success. The JUDGE ADVOCATE should be a member of the Bar, one of standing trained in the practical work of his profession; and solicitors in naval arsenals should be appointed Deputy Judge Advocates.

ALTHOUGH the appointment of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL to the Chief Justiceship of the Common Pleas has not been made at the time we write, there is no doubt that the position will be offered to him, and we have reason to know that it will be accepted. Therefore we may treat Sir JOHN COLERIDGE as the new Lord Chief Justice. He is the eldest son of the Right Hon. Sir JOHN TAYLOR COLERIDGE, was born in 1821, and educated at Eton; he was scholar of Balliol College,' and afterwards Fellow of Exeter College Oxford. He was called to the Bar of the Middle Temple in 1847, was made Recorder of Portsmouth in 1855, and received a silk gown in 1861. He contested Exeter in the Liberal interest in July 1864, and though defeated on that occasion, was returned for that city at the general election in 1865. He was appointed Solicitor-General in Dec. 1868, on which occasion he received the honour of knighthood. In Nov. 1871 he succeeded Sir R. P. COLLIER as Attorney-General. He has been called the "West of England lawyer," and his career on the Western Circuit in a measure entitles him to be so designated, but we do not think that he would put foremost his claim to be a lawyer. In an address delivered to the Articled Clerks' Society he too modestly, no doubt, expressed his surprise at his own success at the Bar. That success, however, is easily to be accounted for. Elegant and polished speakers are not numerous at the Bar-their occupation, indeed, is almost gone. Consequently Sir JOHN COLERIDGE was able to take a position which, if not of the highest kind recognised by practical lawyers, was certainly unique. But with this fine faculty of speech he unites a singular capacity for apprehending rapidly the legal bearings of a case and applying legal principles. For this reason we anticipate that he will make an admirable Judge.

AMONG the publications made under the authority of the MASTER of the ROLLS, there appeared three years back an interesting work entitled, "The Black Book of the Admiralty," and edited by Sir TRAVERS TWIss. In the preface to the work the learned editor regrets the loss of the original Black Book, which was a sort of record of the ancient statutes or laws governing the admiralty jurisdiction, and was supposed to have been written, in part at least, as far back as the reign of Edward III. or Richard II., before the prohibitions restraining the court from exercising jurisIts loss seems to have dion over foreign contracts commenced. been discovered by a Mr. LUDERS on 2nd June, 1808, when he applied at the office at Doctors' Commons and was informed "by the proper officer" that they had never seen such a book, and knew nothing of it. The value of the book as a legal authority may not be very great, but as a literary curiosity, and perhaps as evidence of the jurisdiction claimed, if not exercised, by the Court of Admiralty in early days, it is most interesting. Hence we are glad to be able to announce that the missing volume has been discovered by the Assistant Registrar of the Court of Admiralty, Mr. BATHURST, among some private papers belonging to a former Registrar of that court. Its identity can scarcely be doubted, because it answers so accurately all the descriptions given of it, and moreover, among the same papers was found a document, dated in the year 1808, and signed with the initials of Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON, afterwards Judge of the Admiralty Court (as well as those of other persons), purporting to be a report to the College of Advocates, as to the Black Book in the Admiralty registry. This report, which is in print, so accurately describes the volume which has been found that its authenticity cannot be doubted. The Black Book is written on vellum, and some of its pages are illuminated. It was originally 26 bound in black-hence its name; but now the colour has much worn away. At the same time some other old manuscripts of considerable interest were discovered.

THE GAZETTES.

The Law and the Lawyers.

So great is the dissatisfaction felt amongst the Profession in most of what we may call Government seaport towns, upon the subject of naval courts martial, and the mode of conducting them, that a movement is on foot with a view of bringing the matter under the consideration of the House of Commons; indeed, we are informed that at Plymouth a petition addressed to the House has been prepared and submitted to the members of the Law Society there. It is reported that the Lords of the Admiralty and the Privy Council will also be memorialised upon the subject. We know that at Portsmouth great complaint is made VOL. LVI.-No. 1597.

We are happy to say that the anticipations concerning the vacancy in Vice-Chancellor Wickens' Court, which we expressed last week, have been disappointed. The LORD CHANCELLOR recommended Mr. CHARLES HALL for the appointment, and he has accordingly been raised to the Bench. It was expected, we believe, that a member of the Common Law Bar would be selected to succeed Vice-Chancellor WICKENS, so as to prepare for the coming into operation of the Judicature Act. The maintenance of the divisions of the courts would seem to render such a step unnecessary, and it is difficult to point out a common lawyer, who could have filled the post, who would have accepted it. Under all the circumstances, therefore, we may congratulate the Government on having made a perfectly satisfactory appointment. The new VICE-CHANCELLOR is the fourth and eldest surviving son of the late JOHN HALL, Esq., of Manchester. He was a pupil of Mr. LEWIS DUVAL, the most eminent Conveyancer of his day, and subsequently of the late JAMES RUSSELL then an equity draftsman in very large practice. He
