suggested, as I admitted, that the work had been done, that we should "split the difference," to which I assented, and the judge announced "a verdict for half the amount." The plaintiff, however, objected, and put forth the plea of an agreement existing between the landlord and myself; that all repairs were to be done by me. This I denied, and was prepared to disprove, and the case was adjourned to the next court for the attendance of the landlord. In the meantime a new judge was appointed, who, on the second hearing, took quite a different view of the case, and ignored the landlord altogether. I have no doubt but that his decision was right. He held that the order, admittedly, emanated from me, and that therefore I was liable to the plaintiff, but that I had my recourse against the landlord. The point, however, to which I wish to draw attention, is with regard to the expenses for attendance. It seems that in this court attendance fees "follow," and are out of the discretion of the judge, while in the neighbouring court of Liverpool they are only allowed in extreme cases, and the judge exercises a careful discretion in the award of such expenses; but in this case I had to pay for the attendance of the witness, and the first and second attendance of the plaintiff, without having the benefit of the first judge's deci sion; and being thus placed in a false position, as it were, I applied for these costs to be disllowed, but the judge held that he had no discretion in the matter. Now, is there any fixed rule for the guidance of all County Courts, or has each court a system of its own? If I had known that the expenses would have been so much at variance with my information with regard to Liverpool cases, I would rather have paid the amount into court. J. D.

EX PARTE TILL.-Surely the Lords Justices, in Ex parte Till, Re Ratcliffe (32 L. T. Rep. N.S. 521), have misconstrued the 275th rule. That rule, so far as it is necessary to be cited, is as follows:"The resolution passed at the first general meeting (or first and second general meetings, as the case may be) shall determine whether the affairs of the debtor are to be liquidated by arrangement, and not in bankruptcy, or whether any and what composition shall be accepted in satisfaction of the debts due to the creditors from the debtor, or it may reject either of such modes of arrangement.. Only such resolutions as are reduced into writing, and are signed by or on behalf of the statutory majority of the creditors assembled at a meeting shall be taken cognizance of by the court." The Lords Justices seem to have lost sight of the words underlined. Lord Justice Mellish in particular would appear to have based his judgment on the supposition "that neither the Act nor the rules contain any provision about the way in which the rejection of such а resolution (a resolution relative to the acceptance of a composition) "is to be proved." But surely the latter part of the 275th rule, applies to the alternative resolution of rejecting either of the previously mentioned modes of arrangement. What other construction can possibly be put upon the rule? In the particular case, the resolution for the acceptance of a composition does not appear to have been confirmed at a duly convened subsequent meeting under rule 282, and therefore not entitled on that ground, to registration; and had that been the basis of the decision of the Lords Justices, no fault could have been found with it, but as it stands, it is to my mind inconsistent with the 275th rule, and I cannot but think the construction put upon that rule by the Chief Judge to be the right one.

THE LATE BARON PIGOTT.-A correspondent of the Liverpool Post says he has received a copy of the last letter ever written by Baron Pigott. It is dated from Sherfield Hill. The learned baron combats the theory of apostolical succession, and challenges his opponent to show that bishops, priests, and deacons were orders instituted by the Apostles. In another letter the baron states that for five years back he had been a member of a very liberal Baptist chapel, but his views being modified he had joined the Plymouth Brethren, and "broken bread with them the very day before he fell from his horse.

Queries.

58. THE DEBTOR'S ACT-I should be glad if some one of your learned correspondents would inform me whether the Debtor's Act 1869 abolished the writ of ca. sa. and whether it is now necessary to read the chapter on Bailment under ca. sa, in the 10th edition "Smith's Action at Law." F. S.

[Yes, the writ is abolished.-ED. SOLS'. DEPT.]

59. SALE OF SHOP GOODS.-Has a tradesman the power to refuse to sell any article to an intending purchaser although the latter tenders the usual price for it ? ARTICLED CLERK. [Clearly.-ED. SOLS'. DEPT.]

60. PERPETUITY.-Jee v. Audley (1 Cox. 324): "I give £1000 to Mary Hall and the issue of her body, and in default of such issue I give the £1000 to the daughters then living of John Jee and his wife Elizabeth Jee." This case is referred to in Tudor's L. C. as "an important and leading case:" (Vide notes to Cadell v. Palmer, p. 372.) I should have thought that the gift to the daughters was void, because it was limited to take effect on the general failure of issue of Mary Hall. The judge, however, does not seem to lay any stress upon that fact, but held that the gift was void for another reason, viz.: because it might take in after bern daughters of John and Elizabeth Jee, the testator not having limited the gift to the daughters living at the time of making his will or at his death, but to those who might be living at the decease of Mary Hall. Having laid down the principle applicable to the case, "that limitations of personal estate are void, unless they necessarily vest, if at all, within a life or lives in being, and twenty-one years, or nine or ten months afterwards;" the judge proceeds to say: "If then this will extends to after-born daughters, is it within the rules of law? Most certainly not; because John and Elizabeth Jee might have children born ten years after the testator's death, and Mary Hall might die without issue fifty years afterwards, in which case it would evidently transgress the rules prescribed." this illustration I cannot conceive how it could be held that the gift contravened the rule as above laid down; if the limitation had been simply to the daughters of John and Elizabeth Jee, in that case the gift would no doubt have been too remote, as it would have taken in daughters who might be born more than twenty-one years after the death of Mary Hall. But according to the above case a gift by will to A. for life with remainder to such children of B. as may be living at A.'s decease, is void, "because B. may have children born ten years after the death of the testator, and A. may die fifty years afterwards." Perhaps some of your correspondents who are better versed than myself in the law of real property will say whether the case of Jee v. Audley was well decided?

61. MORTGAGE SECURITY.-A., the wife of B., being entitled to a share of money to arise from the sale of real estate directed by a will to be sold at the death of her mother, she and her husband in 1860 assigned her reversionary interest by way of mortgage to C. as a security for money advanced by C. to B. No interest has been paid by B. for the last ten years from the want of means to do so. Can C.compel the trustees for sale of the real estate at the mother's death (to whom notice was given of the assignment immediately after it was executed) to pay the whole of the principal and interest then due on the security? R. B. B.

62. BANKRUPTCY-CLAIM FOR RENT.-To how much rent accrued due is a creditor entitled if his distress is levied before the filing of a petition for liquidation, or G. J. F. before the date of an order of adjudication.

63. ARTICLES OF CLERKSHIP-ASSIGNMENT.-A. was

articled to B. for five years, and after serving part of the term arranged with C. by correspondence for an assignment of his articles to him for the residue of the term; and by an assignment made between B., A., and C., B. assigned the services of A. to C., and A. also bound himself clerk to C. for the residue of the term. The assignment was executed by A. and B. on a Saturday, and datel the same day but was not executed by C. as C. resided some distance. On the Monday following A. entered the office of C. under the assignment (the assignment being in the possession of C.) and continued to serve C., but C. did not execute the assignment for seven weeks after the execution by A. and B., C. he would execute the assignment saying that when he had time, but there was no hurry for a day, believing that all was right as A. had executed the assignment and was in his service. An affidavit made by two deponents, one speaking to the day of the execution by A. and B. and the other to the day of the execution by C., has been duly filed and the assignment registered, &c., but no questions were asked by the officers of the courts. A. has several months to serve, but the question may arise (see ex parte Harrison, Easter Term, 1875, L. T. Rep. 103, Q. B.) whether the interval between the execution by A. and B. and the exec tion by C. (although A. was serving C.) can be reckoned as part of the statutory term of five years? The facts do not appear to come within the case of Ex parte Harrison or Ex parte Adams (L. T. Rep. 102, Q. B.,) for in each of these cases the original contract had not been cancelled as required by sec. tion 13, 6 & 7 Vict. c. 73, nor had the clerk bound himself

by contract in writing, as required by section 3, but from the above facts it appears that the original contract was cancelled by the execution of the assignment by A. and B., and that A. had also bound himself by a contract in writing to serve C. by his, A.'s, execution and had actually

served him in pursuance of his covenant, and C. had the benefit of his services although C. had not executed the assignment. From the above facts I shall be glad to. know if you think the seven weeks can be reckoned as part of the five years, and if not, what would be the best course to pursue. AN ARTICLED CLERK.

Also what books he should read in addition to the following, having regard to the Judicature Act: Conveyancing: Stephen's Commentaries, 1 and 2; Williams' Real and Personal; Introduction in Prideaux. Common Law: Chitty's Contracts; Smith's Manual. Equity: Smith's Manual, and Haynes's Outlines. Should the present Common Law and Equity Practice be got up? TYRO.

(Q. 39.) BANKRUPTCY ACT, 1869-LIQUIDATION-COSTS. The most recent case on this point is one decided by Mr. Edmond Beales, County Court Judge for Bedford, contrary to the opinion of the registrar of the same court (see Law Times of May 22nd, page 68, which decision is erroneous; Ex parte Hodge, Re Lemon.) If you refer to the Law Times of May 29th, 1875, page 88, you will see a letter signed Thos. Russell, which will give you all the information you require, with the views of the Editor of the Solicitors' Department thereon, which seem to be correct. E. B. R.

(Q. 47.) CASE WANTED.-In the case of Meek v. Bayliss, (31 L. J. 448 Ch.) “J. R." will find that it was held where title deeds were deposited by way of security, and accompanied by a memorandum simply stating the purpose for which they were deposited, the mortgage did. not require a mortgage stamp. F. D. THOMPSON.

(Q. 52.) ENGROSSING WILL FOR PRINCIPAL REGISTRY. -The rule requiring the engrossing hand to be used in making a probate copy of a will for the principal registry was abolished by a rule made on the 29th December, 1865, in lieu of the former one. This rule is No. 79 of the "Rules for the Principal Registry," and which requires the registrar to take care that the probate copies "E. B. R." will of wills are fairly and properly written. find every information on this head in the 1873 edition of "Browne's Probate Practice." A. BRETT.

(Q. 33.)-AUDIENCE BEFORE MAGISTRATES.-Referring to the reply of "C. C. H." which appeared in THE LAW TIMES of 12th instant, it seems that that gentleman mistook the query of "An Articled Clerk." The latter was desirous of ascertaining whether the magistrates had the power to prevent a person who is bond jide the clerk of a certificated attorney from appearing before them as advocates to represent his principal. The fine mentioned by "C. C. H." would, of course, only apply in a case where a person, not an attorney, represented himself as such. If "An Articled Clerk will refer to any of the authorities on the point he will find that an attorney's clerk cannot insist upon appearing as an advocate in any case, and that, although there is some difference of opinion as to the correctness of the practice, it is usual to allow him to appear for his principal where he is in the bona fide employ of an attorney, and conversant with the rules to be observed in the conduct

of proceedings before such a tribunal. It does not appear that the Acts of 6 & 7 Vict. c. 73, and of 23 & 24 Vict. c. 127, prevent a person who is bond fide the clerk of a certificated attorney from appearing before magis. trates to represent his employer, but from acting as an attorney or solicitor on his own account.

ARTICLED CLERKS' SOCIETY.

A MEETING of this society was held at Clement's Inn Hall, on Wednesday, the 23rd June, Mr. C. E. Beal in the chair. Mr. J. S.

The motion was lost by a majority of four. The subject for next week's discussion is: "That the policy of the present Government does not deserve the confidence of the country." To be supported by Messrs. Dowson and Bicknell; to be opposed by Messrs. Saunders and Girling. BIRMINGHAM LAW STUDENTS' SOCIETY. AT a meeting of this society, held on Tuesday evening, 22nd June, N. Nathan, Esq., in the chair, a discussion took place upon moot point No. 544, "Is a registered bill of sale given by a trader debtor (the debtor remaining in possession with the consent of the holder of the bill) good against the trustee of the bankruptcy." The affirmative was supported by Messrs. Whitehouse and Withers, and the negative by Messrs. Evett, Barker, Hadley, and Warlowe. After the Chairman had summed up, the question was decided in favour of the negative. This was the last meeting of the session.

STOCKPORT LAW SOCIETY. AT a special meeting of this society, held on the 7th inst., the Legal Practitioners' Bill having been read and discussed, it was unanimously resolved, "That the attention of Mr. Hopwood, Q.C., M.P.

The above resolution has been forwarded to Mr. Hopwood, who has promised to give the Bill

his best attention.

In 1870 he was appointed a perpetual commissioner for taking the acknowledgments of married

women. He was also a lieutenant in the 7th com

pany of the Derbyshire volunteers, in which he served six years; and was either the originator or acted greatly in the formation of the Young Men's Church of England Association in the town of Cha

pel-en-le-Frith. "By a course of highly honourable professional conduct," writes one who knew him well, "Mr. Goodman acquired many friends. He was highly respected in his own neighbourhood, and in fact wherever he was known. He died much regretted by all who knew him; and upon his tomb might well be inscribed Hic jacet legu. leius justus et generosus.'' The deceased leaves a widow and five children to lament his loss.

J. E. WILSON, ESQ. THE late John Elliot Wilson, Esq., solicitor, of Cranbrook, Kent, who died at Camden Lodge, Sissinghurst, Cranbrook, on the 7th inst., in the sixty-seventh year of his age, was the second son of the late John Wilson, Esq., of Hawkhurst, in the county of Kent. He was born in Sussex in the year 1809, and was educated at Hawkhurst. He was admitted a solicitor in Michaelmas Term 1831, and practised for forty-four years in the town of Cranbrook, gaining the entire confidence and esteem of a large circle of friends and clients. From his thorough acquaintance with the prin ciples and technicalities of the law, writes one who knew him well, his opinion on most difficult cases was seldom at fault. For many years he was clerk to the Board of Guardians of the Cranbrook Union, and the services which he rendered in this capacity both to the ratepayers and the deserving and afflicted poor, are, after a long interval, stilllgratefully remembered. He was an active member of many religious societies. To the Canterbury Board of Education and Church Building and Endowment Societies, he was honor. ary solicitor, and devoted a considerable amount of thought and time to their service. Mr. Wilson, who was for many years deputy.coroner for the county of Kent, married in 1865 Martha Jane, daughter of the Rev. William Ford Vance, but has left no family. The remains of the deceased gen. tleman were interred at Canbrook.

E. LEWIS, ESQ.

THE late Edward Lewis, Esq., solicitor, of Manchester, who died on the 31st ult., at 25, Wel beck-street, Cavendish-square, after a few days, illness, in the seventy-third year of his age, was one of the leading local practitioners of his time. He was born in the year 1802, and was admitted a solicitor in Trinity Term 1840. He was well known as a member of the firin of Brackenbury and Lewis, in connection with the original Manchester and Leeds railway scheme, in carrying out the original Act of 1836, and subsequently as a partner with the late Mr. Robert Dukinfield Darbishire and Mr. Henry Cunliffe, in developing the system of the Lancashire and Yorkshire railways. In 1863 Mr. Lewis retired from the profession in favour of his nephew, Mr. Lewis Ashworth, and devoted his time and abilities to various institutions of a religious and educational bachelor, is described by his friends as having character. The deceased gentleman, who was a been much beloved for his genial and unobtrusive disposition, and well known for his unostentations munificence. The last letter signed by him, says the Manchester Jourier, was sent on the 25th of May from London to the Southport Convalescent Institute, enclosing a cheque for £500 out of the large residuary estate of the late Miss Brackenbury, of Brighton, the distribution of which had been left by the testatrix (Miss Brackenbury) in the absolute discretion of Mr. Lewis and his cotrustees. Mr. Lewis, who was very wealthy, had, we are informed, absolutely urged Miss Brackenbury to prefer charities to himself, to the extent of nearly £200,000, that lady having no relative to whom she could bequeath her wealth. The remains of the deceased gentleman were taken to Manchester for interment, and the funeral, which took place at Ardwick Cemetery, near that city, although intended to be strictly private, was attended by a large concourse of clergymen, lawyers, merchants, and others, who had assembled to pay their last token of respect to the memory of one of the most liberal of Man. chester worthies.

The exorbitant items of the undertaker's bill have long operated as an oppressive tax upon all classes of the community. With a view of applying a remedy to this serious evil the LONDON NECROPOLIS COMPANY, when opening their extensive cemetery at Woking, held themselves prepared to undertake the whole duties relating to interments at fixed and moderate scales of charge, from which survivors may choose according to their means and the requirements of the case. The Company also undertakes the conduct of Funerals to other cemeteries, and to all parts of the United Kingdom.

FABRICS.

TEAR-RESISTING FABRICS.

ᎳᎬᎪ
The machinery employed in the earlier stages of

the manufacture of these cloths is the newest and best, combining every known improvement, the important processes technically termed SCRIBBLING, CARDING, and SLUBBING are regulated to a nicety, so that every fibre of the raw wool is precisely separated before being made into yarn. So fine is the staple that each individual thread is only the 1500th part of an inch in diameter! The clearness and "whiteness" before dyeing, and the purity of the drugs used, render the colours of the cloth exquisitely beautiful.

WEAR-RESISTING

SAMUEL BROTHERS confidently recommend these materials, which are in great and increasing demand AW. TO COUNTRY SOLICITORS.-A both in London and throughout the Provir ces, families and the general public having appreciated the unusual advan tages offered by these excellent and enduring textures. It should be observed that they are most peculiarly and favourably spun in the yarn (extra twisted), and the cloth is so woven that it is rendered remarkably strong (almost untearable). The processes of cropping" the nap, teazling the surface, boiling, pressing, and steaming of the raw wool are specially conducted by the best operatives in the cloth mills.

ombination, to be resorted to when the health is in a very low condition. When everything else has failed in rousing the torpor of the Nervous System, this powerful preparation seems to be successful. Curative results have followed the use of these Pearls, which could not have been imagined. The combination of Phosphorus with Nux Vomica is one of the most powerful nerve Tonics it is poss ble to produce. The difficulty hitherto has been to obtain Phosphorus in a finely divided dose, which in these pearls has been overcome. The dose of pure unoxydised Phosphorus is 1-30 of a grain in each pearl. They require to be persevered with for about four to six weeks to ensure their fullest benefit. Bottles containing 30 doses, 7s. 6d.; 120 doses, 22s. 6d. each, of-J.
