MANCHESTER.-At the seventh meeting of the session, held in the Law Library last week, Mr. Leonard Tatham, solicitor (one of the vicepresidents of the society), presided. The January Law Notes moot was the subject for debate: "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 on 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. Hurst opened the case on behalf of the plaintiff, and Mr. E. C. Pearson for the defendant. The whole question of the Ground Game Act and the cases arising on it were discussed; speeches being contributed by Messrs. F. Preston, G. Buckley, Z. M. Lord, F. Hindle, W. Booth, F. W. Watson, C. R. Allen, and F. S. Oppenheim. The Chairman, in summing up, touched briefly on the various points raised, and gave an epitome of the law relating to the holding of shooting rights. The meeting, thereupon, came to a decision in the defendant's favour by a majority of fourteen. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.-The tenth general meeting of the society was held in the Law Library on the 27th Jan.; Mr. W. G. Robson, M.A. in the chair.

Sanders, A. D. Minton-Senhouse, L. H. Booth, and G. W. Chapman. The subject of debate was as follows: "The Local Authority of Exborough, acting as surveyors of highways, duly contract with Stone to repair a highway within their district. Stone commenced the work by picking up the surface of the road for about fifty yards in order to give holding for fresh metal. He did not light this portion of the road. Jehu drove along in the dark, and his horse getting on to the roughened road took fright and ran away and injured Jehu. Can Jehu recover damages from Stone ?" Messrs. J. F. Stewart and E. H. Motum opened in the affirmative, and Messrs. A. M. Oliver and E. F. Hart opposed. On the debate being thrown open, the following also spoke: Messrs. A. D. M. Senhouse, W. J. Brandbrig, R. E. B.

He was a distinguished member of the London University, from which he received the degree of LL.D. in 1849, and of which he was a fellow from 1858 to 1863. He was formerly a member of the Liberation Society, and for some years was its parliamentary secretary. He was called to the Bar at Lincoln's-inn in 1841. His wellknown work on jurisprudence, published in England before he went to New Zealand, added much to his reputation, and a second work on the same subject, but dealing with the practice of the colonial courts, is of considerable importance. During his residence in Christchurch he continued almost to the last the pursuit of his profession. He married, in 1859, the only daughter of the late Mr. James Ogston, who, with a son and a daughter, survives him. To surrender at the High Court of Justice, in Bankruptcy.

Just published, demy 12mo., price 2s. 6d., New Edition of NEWTON'S PATENT LAW and PRACTICE, including the Registration of Designs and Trade Marks. This work is designed to serve as a reference manual for Patent Agents, with respect to the practice established under the Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks Acts; as a compendium of the Patent Laws for the use of Solicitors; and as a legal and commercial guide to inventors and manufacturers interested in Patent Rights. New Chapters on Copyright have been added. HORACE COX, Windsor House, Bream's-buildings, E.C. The Law and the Lawyers. A PROJECT for a central club for the Bar near the Law Courts has been reported upon favourably by a committee of the Bar Council, and is now under discussion. OTHER matters are engaging the attention of this body which are of great public importance-ex. gr., the Evidence in Criminal Cases Bill, the establishment of central criminal courts in the counties, the continuous sittings of an adequate fixed number of courts of Nisi Prius in London, and the question of doing away with the special fee now payable when a barrister goes off his own circuit. OWING to the beneficence of the members of the Bar who control the purse-strings of the Inns of Court--the Benchers -which made their annual grant of £600 retrospective, the council is in funds, and has authorised the executive committee to increase the salaries of a somewhat hard-worked staff. As was to be expected, the transfer of the patent actions from the Chancery to the Queen's Bench Division has already resulted in the blocking of one court, sitting to take non-juries. There is ample work for a Patent Court, and if an additional judge is to be had, he might well be selected from the scientific lawyers, and given a special court. COUNTY COURT judges do not all agree in their habits. The practitioners in the Birmingham County Court complain that, whilst Judge WHITEHORNE adjourns for half an hour for lunch, Judge HARINGTON eats a sandwich in a momentary interval. Judge HARINGTON ought to reflect that sandwiches do not agree with all legal digestions, and a reasonable pause midway, even in the heated career of County Court business, might be a good sanitary provision. THE Elizabethan Stage Society sacrificed everything to tradition in their reproduction of "Twelfth Night" in the The Inn has a fine hall, Middle Temple Hall this week. whose acoustic properties are tested only when the TREASURER gives the toast of "The Queen." Had elocution been taught in it, the glaring and hopeless defect would have been discovered and perhaps remedied. On Wednesday Equity took up a position on raised seats at the remote end of the hall. The actors were not distinctly audible half-way down. Some guests read the play while the acting was going on-a proceeding destructive of all real enjoyment. The representation was very good-as an historic picture quite unique. |
