LAW STUDENTS' DEBATING SOCIETY.-The usual weekly meeting of the above society was held at the Law Institution, Chancery-lane, on Tuesday, the 26th inst.; chairman, Mr. A. Hair. The subject for debate was: "That the case of Elgood v. Harris (1896) 2 Q. B. 401) was wrongly decided." Mr. T. Douglas opened in the affirmative, and Mr. R. H. Armstrong seconded; Mr. Nimmo opened in the negative, and Mr. Burn seconded. The following members also spoke: Messrs. Daniell, W. H. Jones, Vickers, H. Fox, W. Hudson, N. Tebbutt, A. E. Clarke.-The subject for debate at the next meeting of the society on Tuesday, the 2nd Feb., is: "That, having regard to the report of the commission upon the financial relations between Great Britain and Ireland, the rectification of the inequality in the contributions of Ireland to the Imperial Exchequer should be undertaken forthwith." BURNLEY AND DISTRICT.-On Thursday, the 21st Jan., the members of this society met in Cronkshaw's Hotel for the first time since the Christmas Vacation. The chair was taken by Mr. J. C. Waddington, and the subject for discussion was the January Law Notes moot: "A., owner and in possession of Whiteacre, verbally lets to B. 'all shooting rights' over Whiteacre at £50 a year. B., under the contract, enters upon the property and exercises his right of shooting. Shortly afterwards A. lets Whiteacre to C., a farmer, without consulting B. C. proceeds to shoot the ground game under the Act of 1880. B. complains to A. that, after letting all the shooting rights to him, he had no business to let the farm to C., and, as B. took the shooting more particularly for the ground game, he brings an action against A. for breach of contract. A. pleads (1) that a right to shoot cannot arise without a deed; (2) that even assuming that a deed is not necessary, at any rate, by virtue of sect. 4 of the Statute of Frauds, the verbal contract did not bind him; (3) that even assuming the verbal contract, followed by entry, to have been binding, he (A.) had a perfect right to let the farm to C., as the contract with B. was made upon the implied understanding that A. was to have the right to let the lands for agricultural purposes, which letting would, under the Ground Game Act, 1880, carry with it the right, concurrently with B.'s rights, to shoot the ground game. B. joins issue in these defences. What will be the result of the action?"-Mr. J. K. Pickup (hon. sec.) argued that, on the authority of Webber v. Lee, the grant of a right to shoot over land and to take away a part of the game killed was a grant of an interest in land and within the Statute of Frauds. Sect. 4 of that statute says that any grant of such interest must be in writing and signed by the party to be bound or his duly authorised agent. But the court will enforce specific performance of a contract within the statute where the parol agreement has been partly carried into execution by the party praying relief, and this upon the ground that otherwise one party would be able to practise a fraud upon the other, contrary to the intention of the statute; therefore, where one party has executed his part of the agreement in the confidence that the other party will do the same, and it would be a fraud upon the former to suffer the latter to escape from the performance of his part of the agreement, equity will decree specific performance. He cited Lester v. Foxcroft (1 Coll. P.C. 108) to prove that a contract which could not be enforced because not in writing may become enforceable in equity by reason of one party allowing the other to partly perform it. The object of sect. 4 was not to alter principles of law but modes of evidence. It is fraud to allow part performance under the section and then turn round and say "You have no case, I never set my hand to writing." The statute shall not be made an engine of fraud. Subsequent impossibility is no excuse, and therefore B. was entitled to recover quantum meruit damages from A. for breach of contract. Mr. Pickup was supported by Mr. J. C. Pollard, solicitor. Mr. T. G. Sandy, jun. (solicitor) in arguing for the negative said that as an incorporeal hereditament unannexed to the freehold it required a deed, and quoted from Woodfall's Landlord and Tenant. He also argued on the first point that it was a profit à prendre and required a deed on that account under sect. 4 of the Statute of Frauds, it being an interest in land, the amount of rent presupposing that the game was to be carried off the land; and cited from Woodfall, and Bird v. Higginson, Adams v. Clutterbuck and Webber v. Lee. On the last point he argued that there was no covenant prohibiting the leasing of the farm, no such covenant could be implied, that the landlord's right of managing his estate was not taken away by the grant of the shooting right. There was no part performance of a right to enter on land, there was no example of it. The Game Act was part of the contract if contract there was, it could not be excepted. Precisely the same events would have occurred if there had been a deed. If the plaintiff had suffered through his mistake it was his own fault through not obtaining proper advice. His right to shoot was not taken away, he had a concurrent right. Mr. Sandy was supported by Messrs. J. Bracewell, T. B. Nowell, A. Riley, F. Roberts, and W. F. Sutcliffe. Mr. J. C. Waddington then called on the leaders to reply after which he delivered a well-prepared judgment. The meeting decided in the negative by a majority of four. MANCHESTER.-The sixth meeting of the session was held on Tuesday, the 19th inst., in the Law Library, under the presidency of Prof. Copinger LL.D. Mr. H. Williamson (one of the hon. secs.) announced the society's success in the "Law Notes" moot competition, the prize having been won by the society. Mr. C. T. Tallent-Bateman, solicitor, then gave a lecture on "The law and practice relating to chief rent charges. and particularly to the covenants and powers for their recovery and security." Several solicitors attended and a considerable number of law students. The lecturer pointed out the peculiar nature of the Manchester "chief rents (inaccurately so-called, they being technically "rentcharges "), and noted that the only law writers who had dealt specially with the subject were Manchester men, namely, Mr. William Harrison, Dr. Copinger (the chairman), and the late Prof. Munroe. After dealing with the important questions, as to how far certain protective covenants "run with the land," and how far some of the usual powers and covenants inserted in deeds to secure or protect chief rents were legally binding, distinguishing between positive and affirmative cevenants and negative or restrictive covenants and showing that these two classes were subject to distinct rules of law, Mr. Tallent-Bateman reviewed in detail an article appearing in a professional journal (the LAW TIMES) some months ago, which threw doubts on several familiar remedies with regard to chief rents, the gloomy tone of which article he (the lecturer) thought was unwarranted. Finally, he dealt at length with the powers and remedies which should be offered to a purchaser of land by way of indemnity against an overriding rent which it is not intended such purchaser should have to pay. At the close of the lecture some discussion ensued which was very ably summed up and commented on by the Chairman. In the course of a vote of thanks to the lecturer it was urged upon him that he should allow his valuable lecture to be printed, and arrangements will probably be made by the society in that behalf. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.-The ninth general meeting of the society was held on Wednesday, the 20th Jan., in the Law Library; Mr. W. C. J. Shortt in the chair. Mr. J. Grant Gibson, barrister-at-law, Official Receiver, was elected an honorary member. The subject of debate was the January Law Notes moot (see BURNLEY AND DISTRICT, above). Messrs. T. R. Ramsay and F. D. Bruce opened for the plaintiff, and Messrs. L. Booth and A. B. Lemon for the defendant. When the debate was declared open, the following also spoke: Messrs. E. C. Sanders, G. W. Chapman, W. H. Ord, J. Winn, R. E. B. Lisle, and C. S. Hadaway, and after the opener had replied, the Chairman gave an exhaustive summing up, and first put this motion, "Was B.'s right of action barred by reason of technical grounds?" which was decided by a majority of twelve in the negative; and secondly, "Would the plaintiff succeed in his action?" when there was a majority of five in the negative.
