the Chancellor in reading petitions, but we do believe that to prevent the same ground from being travelled over again in the Master's office, the petition should be full and accurately prepared from negative searches verified by affidavit; with that petition, fiat, searches, and affidavit, the Master could at once proceed to take the accounts, and direct service to be made on every person interested, as stated in the petition; without these he will be at sea, and the charge-or statement of his case in the Master's office of the petitioner will be, in point of fact, a bill transferred to a worse tribunal, where slovenliness of statement, and inaccuracy of pleading may flourish unchecked.

will bring the estate into market, without any imperative necessity for the original deeds.

The section was prepared in England, where the law of lien is of much more importance than in this country. Here it has been decided, that the lien of a solicitor, cannot prevail against an incumbrance created prior to the costs, being incurred, for which the lien is claimed Smith v. Chichester, (2 Dru. and War. 393), and it would appear that where the production is once enforced, the benefit of a solicitor's lien is lost, even against incumbrances, subsequent to the lien, Blunden v. Desart (2 Dru. and War. 405).

We had hoped in this article to have conducted the petitioner safely through the Master's Office, but the progress both to the suitor and writer is slower than we did, or the former may anticipate; we must reserve further discussion to a future number.

Court Papers.

EQUITY SITTING.-MICHAELMAS TERM.

Chancery.

We assume that the order of reference has been made, and the petitioner fairly launched in the Master's office, and we believe that the Legislature gave themselves a great deal of unnecessary trouble in preparing the 10th section. It endeavours to set out in detail the various particulars which an order of reference may direct. This was unnecessary, and would have been better done by a few general words. Having disposed of the reference, it proceeds to confer powers upon Master and Court, and contains the following provision, to which Mr. Smythe has called our attention: "And for any of the purposes of this Act the said Court shall have power to compel the production before the Master of all deeds and other NOVEMBER 9TH.-The following gentlemen were this writings relating to any property in question, pro-day admitted to the degree of Barrister;-Mathew O'Reilly vided always that no incumbrancer or other person Dease, William Allen Walsh, James Christopher Kenny, being in possession of any title deeds or writings, of John William Ellison, George Casement, Patrick Joseph or relating to any property, (and showing right to Murray, Samuel Powell Purser, Edward Sullivan, Augushold the same, as a security for a debt or charge,) Henry Dowling, Maziere John Brady, Francis Fitz-Richard tus Fitzgerald Whitestone, Edward Parkyns Levinge, John or lien shall be compellable to produce the same, Orpen, Richard John Eaton, Robert William Shekleton, unless or until it shall have been ascertained by the Henry Fitzgibbon, Charles Macnamara. report of the Master, that the money to be produced by the sale of the property, and applicable to the payment of such debt or charge will be sufficient to pay the same, but such incumbrancer or other person shall, on the order of the Court, furnish copies or extracts of any such deeds or writings."

We ould be glad to have a key to the meaning of the Legislature; the foregoing extract is, to our comprehension, so obscure as to be unintelligible. Assuming that the words "or lien" should be included in the parenthesis, we venture to ask, how can the Master, in those cases, where there has been no contract for sale, ascertain whether the money to be produced by a sale will be sufficient to pay the possessor of the title deeds? it can only be a matter of speculation, and even supposing that he could, is there to be a separate report as to that fact by the Master before the production of title deeds can be compelled? and it is observable that it could not be even approximately ascertained until all the incumbrances were proved, and their priorities known, so that for no practical purpose could the deeds be obtained, except to hand over to the purchaser. Neither does this unfortunate section confer on the holder of the deeds, the benefit it was intended, for the Court has the power to compel the incumbrancer to furnish copies or abstracts, and if he be thus obliged to disclose his title-deeds, their value becomes a negative quantity, the petitioner obtains all the information he requires, and a condition of sale that the purchaser shall only require compared copies,

J'ROWSERS.—The numerous testimonials received by

JAMES O'DRISCOLL in approval of the elegance, ease, and peculiar style of his Trowsers, and likewise the very flattering patronage bestowed on him by the higher classes of society, induces him to apprise his patrons, and those gentlemen who have not hitherto honored him with their orders, that he has secured the services of a few of the most experienced Parisian workmen for the winter season. J. O'D's practical knowledge as a Trow. sers Cutter having been fully tested in the first houses of the British me. tropolis, he is therefore fully qualified to produce an article in this depart. ment of Tailoring, that cannot be excelled in London or Paris.
