THE opening of the session of the Law Department of the Owens College took place recently, when Professor Seaton delivered an address upon "The importance of the study of Roman law." Sir H. Fox Bristowe, Q,C., Vice Chancellor of the County Palatine of Lancaster, presided, and there were also present Dr. Ward, Principal of the College, and many members of the Senate. The Chairman said he had great pleasure in presiding on that occasion, not only because of the importance of the particular question which they had met to hear discussed, but because he thought it was very advisable that they should meet as much as they possibly could to bear testimony to the greatness of that which they were all interested in the study and practice, and, generally, the profession of the law. It was important that they should bear in mind that that study should not be undertaken simply from the point of view of personal success-monetary or otherwise-in the Profession, but from the enlarged principle of endeavouring to do their best to increase the advantage to society in the sense of aspirants to the Legal Profession striving to make their knowledge as perfect and as accurate as it could be. In that college, he confessed, the students possessed advantages which, in his own time, did not exist at all. They had in Manchester, as in London, great advantages, though perhaps not equivalent to what they might be. The Inns of Court, in London, and the Incorporated Law Society did not do quite so much as they thought they might do, and, speaking of the Inns of Court, he frankly confessed that he thought for many years the educational part of their duties was very much neglected. At the present time, however, there seemed to be an improvement. Having pointed to some of the advantages enjoyed by the students of the Law Department of the Owens College, the chairman said he was glad to find that the number of law students there had very considerably increased in the past year. That was a healthy sign as to the teaching which was given. The elementary class had, he understood, increased from twenty-six to thirty-seven, and the evening class-a very desirable class indeed-from nothing to thirty-eight. He should wish to see those numbers augmented another year, but the entries were satisfactory as far as they went. The successes of the Manchester law students in the past year struck him as very good evidence of their capabilities, their industry, and their desire to distinguish themselves in their profession. He noticed that the Incorporated Law Society of London, for which he had the highest respect, had started, or intended to start, a method of teaching which, to his mind, was about as fallacious a mode of teaching as could well be imagined, viz., by a kind of continuous correspondence. He ventured to think that in Manchester they were strong enough to stand upon their own legs, and did not want instruction so given. The Incorporated Law Society had recognised the value of the Manchester institution, and they contributed, he believed, £100 a year towards it. He thought it would be more to the point if they would send £200. Touching upon the subject of Professor Seaton's address, Vice-Chancellor Bristowe pointed out that Roman law possessed three main principles-directness of object, distinctness of mode of expression, and adaptability to a civilised state of society. Professor Seaton said that in the selection of the subject of the address, which, as a newly-appointed professor of the College, he was about to deliver, he had been mainly influenced by the increasing, and, to his mind, the dangerous divorce between the so-called theoretical and practical law in Manchester. He found from last year's calendar, that whereas the number of students who entered for the lectures in elementary English law was twenty-six, the number who entered for the lectures in jurisprudence and Roman law was only four. In pointing out some of the more important reasons why every man who claimed the name of lawyer should possess some knowledge of Roman law, he said that not only every lawyer, but every citizen ought to know something about the real nature of that impalpable unity called the British Constitution, and the manner in which the machinery of the Government was carried on. The first, though perhaps the least important reason for studying Roman law, was that English law was in a large measure directly indebted to it. The extent of that indebtedness, however, was a matter of dispute. Professor Seaton referred at length to authorities in support of his view, and pointed out how Roman law had influenced, and still continued to influence, English law. Important, however, as the direct influences of Roman law on English law might be, they were, he said, trivial as compared with its influence on Scotch law, and on all the other systems of law known to the civilised world. From a more general point of view, the study of Roman law was important, not only for English lawyers, but for English statesmen. The codification of English law, in the sense of the reduction of the huge mass of our existing law to a body of written law, lucid in point of expression, and orderly in point of arrangement, was the ideal after which English jurists in vain strove. It stood to reason that it was desirable, because if law was to be written at all, it ought to be clearly, tersely, and accurately written. But grave doubts were expressed as to its feasibility, because it was said to be impossible to find men possessed of the qualifications required for the task, viz., an accurate and comprehensive acquaintance with the existing law, combined with a complete command of legislative expression, and an intimate familiarity with the principles of legal classification. Whether the objection was well founded or not, it was tolerably certain that the study of Roman law was the most powerful instrument for the cultivation of the latter part of the double qualification required, because it possessed a scientific arrangement, and a precise terminology unknown to English law. Proceeding, Professor Seaton discussed many of the reasons on account of which, he said, it was of importance to the legal student particularly that he should study Romar. law. At the close of Professor Seaton's address, Dr. Ward proposed a vote of thanks to Vice-Chancellor Bristowe for his kindness in taking the chair. The motion was seconded by Professor Copinger, and passed with acclamation; and the Vice-Chancellor having replied, the proceedings terminated. IRISH LAW STUDENTS' DEBATING SOCIETY. THE inaugural meeting for this session of this society was held on Thursday evening last week in the Dining Room, King's Inns, which, as usual, was crowded with a large and appreciative audience.

Kerr, LL.D.; Silver Medal, C. O'Kane Donegan. The President mentioned that the Lord Chancellor proposed next year to present a prize of books for competition among the students. Mr. C. O'Kane Donegan, B.A., the auditor, then read his address, which was frequently applauded. He said, in the course of it, "The proper study of mankind is man.' So we have been told by the poet. But though I do not question the soundness of Pope's advice, I consider it is not sufficiently comprehensive, seeing that, the statutory provision notwithstanding, the word "man is not always taken to include both genders. I therefore venture to alter the poet's maxim, and to assert that, on this occasion at least, "the proper study of mankind is woman." I have chosen the subject of Women's Suffrage for my address, not only because it is one which, in its developments, must materially affect the interests of both sexes, but also out of compliment to the great array of ladies who, year after year, add their many attractions to our inaugural meetings. The movement in favour of Women's Suffrage may be said to have received its political baptism in 1867, when John Stuart Mill, lending his powerful advocacy and the prestige of a great name, placed it among the stock subjects of Parliamentary discussion. Since then it has met with varying but encouraging success until the beginning of this year, when a Bill proposing to enfranchise women was defeated on the second reading by only twenty-three votes. The antipathy to the enfranchisement of women arises from those prejudices which survive the conquests of advancing civilisation, and serve as historic finger-posts to remind us that, notwithstanding the diffusion of education and culture, we still retain some striking propensities for the amenities of barbarism. What should in the first place be considered is the capacity of women to exercise this important right of citizenship with advantage to themselves and without detriment to the commonwealth. The capacity of women, legal and social, is now, after centuries of supposed inferiority, admittedly very great. As a citizen she is acknowledged to be competent, and qualified, if unmarried, to vote in municipal, school board, and poor law elections; to occupy the position of guardian of the poor, churchwarden, and sexton; to enter into contracts, to alienate and devise; to sue and be sued in courts of law; to pay taxes; to acquire the rights and undertake the duties attaching to property, with the striking exception of the Parliamentary franchise; and to point out, among other slowly and somewhat unexpectedly obtained victories, the Jackson case as the Magna Charta of her matrimonial independence. But it must seem like labouring to prove a truism in attempting to show that legislation in the past has conferred this right of citizenship on classes of men who are far below our proposed female voters, either morally, socially, or intellectually; and that in permitting the ex-convict, the illiterate, the lucid lunatic, the practised drunkard, or the chronic wife beater to exercise this privilege, Parliament cannot be guided in the extension of the suffrage by any moral, social, or intellectual considerations whatever. Even supposing the plea were true that women do not as a body desire the franchise, it does not follow that there is no injustice done them in refusing it. It is a fact, however, and one that must be apparent to the warmest opponent of women's suffrage, that women do possess this desire, although only a minority of them have the large amount of courage necessary to come forward and live down "the gospel of ridicule" occasioned by their giving expression to it. As for the argument that women would te exposed to coercion for their votes by their male relatives, or that they would attain a dangerous degree of independence, it must be remembered that they are already in possession of a much more important privilegethat of holding and acquiring property-and that there are no instances of either the coercion or the blandishments of their male relatives having undermined this liberty, or of the independence thus secured having shown alarming signs of becoming offensive, although justly and necessarily defensive. Then the objection that taking part in matters political would seriously interfere with women's domestic duties is also advanced by those who allege that the interests of the household should receive women's sole and undivided care, and that the excitement of a general election, with the reasonable amount of attention due to it by voters representing the interests of property, is only a privilege which may be accorded to the male voter. Those who advance such objections do not seem to consider that women might be improved by a larger experience of the world and a wider range of intellectual interests and sympathies, and that their efficiency in the household itself, their greater power to contrive means, to encounter difficulties, to understand and manage servants, are results which might reasonably be expected to follow from their altered conditions. There is also the charge of the unreliability of women, and the improbability of their forming and acting on rational opinions on matters of importance to the State. This argument implies a want of perception which is not generally attributed to women. Their keen penetration, their quick insight, and their powers of forming sound conclusions are too often observed to be overlooked. And if women show these qualities in the common affairs of life it is somewhat illogical to affirm that in political matters they will prove irrational and incompetent. As for the objection that women in agitating for the extension of the suffrage are only weaving a net to entrap husbands, it seems to me to bear a marked resemblance to the prejudices of the timid men who would imagine that every woman's vote cast into a ballot box contained a proposal of marriage or an action for breach of promise. In addition to the benefits which must directly and indirectly accrue to both sexes from the extension of the suffrage to women, great advantages would be conferred on women themselves. They would have an additional interest in the affairs of life, for they would soon come to look upon a change of Ministry with the same pleasure as that of a change of fashion. They would also have the pleasure arising from an interchange with the opposite sex of political thoughts and ideas; for, as Mill says, "The notion of forbidding women to take interest in what interests men belongs to a bygone state of society which is receding farther and farther into the past." The privilege of taking part in political contests would also enlarge their field of thought, and widen the scope of their general education. As Mr. Lecky, in the "History of Rationalism," says, "If the suffrage should ever be extended to women it would probably after two or three generations effect a complete revolution in their habits of thought, which by acting upon the first period of education would influence the whole course of opinion." It is for these reasons I advocate the extension of the suffrage to women. I advocate such a measure in the interests of liberty and on the grounds of justice and equality. And I do so notwithstanding the responsibilities involved in such an extensive proposal, because every disability removed in the past has only added to our civilisation by widening woman's sphere for doing good, for elevating and humanising mankind, and for spreading that influence which tends, in the words of the dead Laureate, "not only to keep down the base in man, but to teach high thought, and amiable words, and courtliness, the desire of truth, the love of fame, and all that makes us men." The Lord Chancellor, in proposing a vote of thanks to the auditor and that his address should be printed and published at the expense of the society, said that the auditor told them that he had selected his theme in compliment to the ladies. He himself would confess that that put all who differed from him in a somewhat disadvantageous position. The auditor had presented his case with all the enthusiasm of youth-perhaps he might say with all the enthusiasm of bachelorhood. The question was a vexed question, but it was an interesting one. It had called forth the most eloquent discourses of mankind. He did not know whether it would be settled in the present generation, as the auditor had almost ventured to think. The question was one that was called in political circles an open one, which meant that when it was raised in the House of Commons men were free, no matter how intimate their connection with one party or the other might be, to vote as they liked. He remembered one occasion when two gentlemen sitting on the same bench made speeches as divergent as the poles. One of these was a man who was still alive, Lord Coleridge; the other, a man now taken away, whose wit and learning were the delight of the august assembly of Parliament, the late Mr Baron Dowse. The question was one involving most difficult problems, which he hoped might yet be settled. He for his part, if the matter came to be settled by the vote of the House of Commons, would rest contented, and would have no apprehension as to the results that might follow from that vote. The ladies there that evening were, no doubt, prepossessed by the language and eloquence of the learned auditor; and, lest they should go away entirely prepossessed by the ideas which the auditor had inculcated, he would say a few words upon the other side of the question, not as conveying for one moment any ideas opposed to those views, but just that the ladies might go away with impartial minds. No doubt there was a large body of women who desired the possession of votes, but there was also a large body who did not desire it. But what became of the other very large body of a neutral character, the mothers and wives, who were not to be endowed with the privilege? What would be the result of the extension of the franchise to women? He hoped the result would be good. They were all tending, he supposed, to one man one vote, and might even be tending to universal suffrage in some period more remote. Suppose that universal suffrage should come, he believed that statistics showed that there were about a million more women in the United Kingdom than men, and in that case it would certainly follow that the ladies would control the destinies of the empire, even in military and naval matters, and control in those respects affairs over which they had not hitherto exercised control, and for which, by their physical being, they did not appear to be fitted. But were they only to give the ladies a short measure of justice ? Were they to confer upon them not only the vote, but everything that was represented by that vote? Were they to confer upon them high offices of State, a seat in Parliament, and those other matters which would follow from the exercise of the franchise? He believed they would, in the end, have to obtain the women's vote upon these questions, in order to ascertain what was truly women's sphere and what were their views upon the rights of the sisterhood. Mr. Richard Adams, Q.C., who was warmly received on rising to second the motion, said he had especial pleasure in doing so because the auditor had chosen a question of immediate and practical politics. No one could doubt that whatever party was in power the whole franchise laws must be dealt with by Parliament. The present condition of the Parliamentary franchise was unjust, inequitable, and confused. The laws were framed by Parliament destitute of faith in the democracy, but afraid to resist its advance, and the laws bore traces of their origin. Upon these laws were being built up by the judges a mighty mass of decisions. The judges, of course, were not to blame. They had to decide the questions brought before them, and the result was remarkable. They might hope that in a future time some of the great and puzzling conundrums would be answered. They might hope to discover who wrote the letters of Junius, who was the Man in the Iron Mask, or even get an answer to the question that puzzled Dubliners in the last generation, "Why did Anderson leave Dycer's?" But there was one conundrum that would remain insoluble for all time, and that was, What in the year 1892 was an inhabitant householder? That would for ever defy the ingenuity and the efforts of mankind. Not having led a particularly studious life as a student himseif, he would, of course, take the usual course now of advising the students to devote themselves to their books during the coming winter, and especially to the mighty mass of decisions on the franchise laws. They would never be able to answer the question "What is an inhabitant householder ?" but they would obtain some light on the subject. They would discover why it was that when in a tenement house in the Coombe the old woman who, for the modest wage of a shilling a week, collected the rent, slept in a house in the back yard, all the other occupants of the house were inhabitant occupiers; but if she laid her weary head in the back kitchen, inhabitant householders they never could be. He would appeal to the learned president if in laying down that doctrine he had laid down anything but the law, the whole law, and nothing but the law. Once they stepped down from the equitable and reasonable form of a rating suffrage there was no place for the sole of the Parliamentary foot until it touched manhood suffrage. The speaker then went on to discuss in a very interesting and attractive form the question of women's suffrage, and expressed himself in favour of the extension of the franchise to women. Mr. Justice Monroe, in moving that the Law Students' Debating Society is entitled to and deserves the support of the Bench, the Bar, and the public, contrasted the present position of the society with what it was when he knew it thirty years ago. Here the auditor stood with the Lord Justice almost younger than ever he looked before. There they had the Lord Chancellor proposing the first resolution, and he could not let the name pass without congratulating the society that his first appearance, after being entitled at all events to take his seat upon the judicial bench, should be among the Law Students' Debating Society, where he had received a hearty welcome, and where his great geniality and his great legal acumen had secured him a hearty welcome, even from those who differed from him most widely. He ventured to say that the audience would not be satisfied if he did not voice their opinion and say that a better, a more carefully prepared, and a more logical and studied address than that which the auditor had given them had rarely been delivered within the hall. He had delivered an address expressed with great care, patience, and sincerity, couched in modesty, and expressed with moderation, in what he (Judge Monroe) would now say in reference to the subject of the essay, it must be remembered that he reserved to himself the power to change his views after he had heard what the president had to say. He had never given this subject much consideration, but he had got a little light from the address the auditor had delivered, and he found it very difficult to get a logical answer to the proposition, why, if you give a vote to a woman in respect of the municipal franchise, in the administration of the poor laws, and in reference to school boards and county councils, in the name of common sense why were they to deny her the legislative franchise? The reason why women's suffrage had not got the attention it should, was because woman was looked upon as an uncertain quantity. No one knew when she got the vote what she would do with it. There was an increasing opinion in favour of female suffrage among women themselves, and men were acting a mean and shabby part in withholding the franchise from them. Look at the Primrose Dames, look at those who took part on the other side-he did not exactly know their names, but the Lord Chancellor would tell him. They were calling upon women to be their political agents, and they were denying them the power of giving their votes as well as their voices. Whatever the audience might think of female suffrage, the auditor had given them a first-rate essay from which they could derive a very great amount of information. Mr. John Ross, Q.C., M.P., in seconding the resolution, said he had no intention of arguing against women's rights, and if he had such an intention he would quail and shirk from expressing views contrary to the wishes of the majority of the assembly. He had known many men in smoking-rooms and clubs, and places where males congregated, who had shown themselves as brave as lions against all women's rights, but who, when they had been introduced into the presence of ladies, had shown themselves as timid as hares. Why a single woman with a property qualification should not get a vote passed his comprehension. He did not admit that the consequences which it had been said would flow from the reform were logical consequences. It did not follow that because women voted that they should sit in the House of Commons. There was a large body of beneficed clergymen in England who, though they voted, yet could not sit in the House. He believed the introduction of this new element into the electorate would tend to raise public minds and ennoble the objects of their public men. The resolution was carried unanimously. The President having complimented the auditor upon his address, said in appealing, as he would appeal for a determination that it was not for the interests of the community that women and men should vote alike in political matters, he would not trust to the votes of barbarians, lawyers, or churchmen, but he believed he could carry with him an overwhelming majority of the women themselves. The truth was this, that they were all creatures of the hour, they had to pass through this world under conditions that were above and beyond their reach; nature and their Creator had established rules and principles which commended themselves not to logic, but nevertheless to truth and to reality, and the answer to this question lay not in arguments that could be brought forward and sustained in the form of syllogisms, but in the instincts of human nature. And on that question they might put it comically, or tragically, or seriously, but put it how they pleased, he claimed that there was something repugnant to human nature in mixing up the province of man with the province of woman in the transactions of life. They had each their sphere and place, men had no tyrannous command over women in any sense in which women had not an equally tyrannous command over them. Let each man and each woman act in his or her own sphere, preserving the harmony between the sexes, each confining him or herself to the domain which nature intended, neither lording it on the other, but each loving the other, and each in their own sphere endeavouring to do their duty. In the language of the wife of a great French statesman writer, and Christian philosopher : "La femme se doit a son foyer et non a la foule." The proceedings then terminated. STUDENTS' SOCIETIES.

Durrance and C. W. Roberts in the negative. After a very interesting and enjoyable debate the question was decided in the affirmative by a majority of three. LIVERPOOL. At a meeting of this association, on Monday, the 31st ult., a debate was held on the following subject for discussion: "That the decision in the case of Stuart v. Bell was wrong, and should be reversed: (L. Rep. (1891); 2 Q. B. 341.) Mr. E. Carey opened in the affirmative, which was also supported by Messrs. Archer, H. Rouse, Armstrong, Herbert M. Davies, and Rees. Mr. O. N. Owen opened in the negative, which was also supported by Messrs. Inman, Cotton, Barnes, Mills, and Arrowsmith. The question was decided in the negative by a majority of two. : MANCHESTER.The first meeting of the session was held at the Law Library, Kennedy-street, on Tuesday, the 25th ult., R. A. Edgar, Esq., solicitor, being in the chair. The subject for debate was as follows :A., who was examining a horse in B.'s stables, accidentally set the straw on fire by throwing down a lighted match. A., seeing a red bucket marked "fire" close at hand, emptied its contents on the burning straw. It contained paraffin, which exploded, and destroyed A.'s eyesight. Has A. any remedy against B.? Mr. Wragg opened in the affirmative, maintaining B. was liable not only to an action for his extreme carelessness, but also to a criminal prosecution. Mr. Watts, in the negative, thought A. lost any remedy he might have through his contributory negligence. Messrs. Atkinson, Simpson, and Clayton followed in the affirmative, and Messrs. Wilson and Allcock in the negative. The chairman having summed up in an exceptionally clear and lucid manner, the motion was carried by a large majority. After a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting terminated.
