OST PERSONS ARE FAMILIAR with

of the Pianoforte Makers, by which anyone who Hires an
Instrument and pays the Hire for that period, becomes the
ABSOLUTE OWNER OF THE PIANOFORTE. Pre-
viously to the introduction of this plan it was almost as
difficult for those of limited income to buy a good Pianoforte
as to 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
several 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 pianoforte.

HAVE DETERMINED TO AFFORD

THE SAME FACILITIES FOR PURCHASING
HOUSES

As now exist for Buying Pianofortes.

A HOUSE being, however, a more expensive article to Pur-
chase than a Pianoforte, the "Three Years' System" will
not apply, excepting in a very few cases; so that a MORE
LENGTHENED PERIOD IS NECESSARY over which
the Time of Hiring must extend.

In pursuance of this resolution

THE

LEGAL PRACTITIONERS' SOCIETY.

THIS
HIS SOCIETY has for its object the reform of the existing unsatisfactory state of the Legal Profession.
The want of such a Society has long been felt, and the demand for it has been rendered all the more impera-
tive by the recent and the impending legislative changes in our judicial system.

Societies for promoting these changes, as well as Societies for the amendment of the law itself, already exist. This Society is of a less ambitious character, and will confine its operations to the reform of abuses in connection with the Profession only.

Although its basis is thus restricted, it will have no lack of work to perform. Among the many subjects which are likely to engage its attention may be mentioned the following:

1. To adjust the relations of the two branches of the Legal Profession inter se, as well as in reference to the Public.

2. To protect the Legal Profession against the encroachments of unqualified persons.

Members of the Legal Profession of every degree, whether Barristers or Attorneys-at-Law, Solicitors, Special Pleaders, Conveyancers, Proctors, Articled Clerks, or Students of the Inns of Court, are eligible for Membership. Members' Annual Subscription, FIVE SHILLINGS. The expenses are not likely to be great, and the Subscription has been fixed at an almost nominal amount, to secure the adhesion of as many Members of the Legal Profession as possible. Moral influence is much more needed than material aid. Any movement for the reform of the existing state of the Legal Profession, to be permanently successful, must necessarily proceed from within, and secure the hearty co-operation and support of both branches of the Profession.

Members of Parliament, and other laymen of distinction, are eligible for the office of Vice-President. The Annual Subscription of Vice-Presidents is ONE GUINEA. Donors of FIVE GUINEAS are eligible as Life Vice-Presidents.

Any further information may be obtained from the Hon. Secretary, CHARLES FORD, Esq., at the Office of the Law Times, 10, Wellington-street, Strand, London, W.C., to whom all Communications should be addressed by Members of the Legal Profession desirous of joining the Society. Subscriptions may be paid to the Treasurer, W. T. CHARLEY, Esq., D.C.L., M.P., 5, Crown Office-row, Temple, London, E.C.; or to the Society's Bankers, Union Bank (Chancery-lane Branch).

The Preliminary Meeting was adjourned to Wednesday, the 7th January next, at eight o'clock, to be held at the Rooms of the Social Science Association, No. 1, Adam-street, Adelphi, London, W.C., on which day the attendance of the Profession generally is earnestly invited.
