We have seen for a considerable time the manner in which you have performed the duties of registrar, and we have observed that the patience, learning, and sound judgment which you have at all times exhibited have given the greatest satisfaction; and we feel assured that in the higher and more important office in which you are called upon to display those qualifications, which have already I may say endeared you to the Profession, you will bring the exercise of those sound qualifications to the great advantage, not simply of the Profession, but of those who are more primarily interested, that is to say, the suitors of the court. have had quite as much experience and paid as much attention to the study of the Profession as "W. H. F." has, I dare say. "W. H. F." complains of his Honour's judgment, first, that the several Acts relating to attorneys are held to impose a most unjust and ridiculous restriction upon gentlemen who have strictly followed the arduous and expensive course of study and apprenticeship directed by those Acts for the purpose of qualifying them for becoming attorneys. Mark his last words-" becoming attorneys." If a man becomes an attorney and chooses, or is compelled to sink down to the level of a clerk, why then he ought to have no greater privileges than another in his position as clerk. If his master be not competent or willing to take advocacy, he is not, and ought not, to be allowed to hand over his brief to a professional brother of the same rank, much less Mr. Commissioner Thring in reply said: I thank should he be allowed to substitute his mere clerk you most cordially, Mr. Yates, for the kind manner because he has succeeded in obtaining admission in which you have spoken on the part of yourself as an attorney.

The Acts cleared the way for my promotion. You, gentlemen, relating to attorneys in the respects referred to, determined, as I think wisely, on public grounds, never contemplated qualified attorneys becoming that the immediate transfer of the jurisdiction of clerks; therefore, if they do become clerks, they this court to the County Court would be neither are nothing more.

When our extinction comes, and the hour is very near, I trust that the abolition of this court will be received rather with a feeling and expression of regret than with a burst of popular exultation from the public voice of Liverpool. The business of the court was then resumed. Mr. Commissioner Ayrton, in the Hull Bankruptcy Court, in giving judgment in a case the other day, said it was very difficult to punish fraudulent bankrupts. In fact, although the law was enacted to punish rogues, if it had been framed expressly to aid them, it could not have served them better than it did. A man must be a fool as well as a rogue to come within the operation of the penal clauses of the Act. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE PROFESSION. [NOTE. This department of the LAW TIMES being open to free discussion on all professional topics, the Editor is not responsible for any opinions or statements contained in it. MANAGING CLERKS IN THE COUNTY AND MAGISTRATES' COURTS.-W. H. F.," whose letter appears in your number of 12th June, is evidently a disappointed and chagrined one, &c., and finds great fault with the judgment of the County Court judge in Holland v. Standing, reported in your journal of 27th March last. I am a managing clerk, "in no better position than one who has not been articled and admitted," but A. B. C. I was glad to see the letter of "W. H. F." upon this subject, and agree that it is a matter which should be taken into the consideration of the Profession. I have often thought if managing clerks who have passed their final, and articled clerks who have passed their intermediate examinations, were allowed to appear as advocates in County Courts and before magistrates, it would be a boon to the Profession, especially large firms, and to managing and articled 'clerks. Take, for instance, a solicitor in practice in the City, or some large town; his client brings him in a list of debts averaging from 10l. to 1001. Prior to the last County Court Act the solicitor transferred who issued writs, where costs were recoverable, this branch of his business to his managing clerk, and thus relieved his principal from all further anxiety and trouble. Since the County Court Act this particular branch of the Profession, so far as regards debts under 201., has been thrown upon the principal, and he is obliged to attend County Courts perhaps at some considerable distance, and a loss to himself, whilst his clerk is allowed to appear on summonses at judges' chambers, before the Chief Clerk in Chancery, and before the Commissioners in bankruptcy sitting in chambers, on matters where considerable amounts are at stake; yet for the recovery of a debt of 51. or 6l., where it is merely necessary to prove the sale and delivery of goods, the principal is forced to attend himself, and deprived of the service his clerk could render him, through the stringent rule in question. With regard to articled clerks who have passed their intermediate examination, if they were allowed to appear as advocates it would tend to their improvement, be an incentive to work and to acquire knowledge to make themselves acquainted with the points of law likely to arise in the case they had to conduct, to become acquainted with the rules of evidence, and prepare themselves for their starting as solicitors. I have found that looking up points of law on preparing cases for counsel impresses more law on the memory than two or three hours' reading, and I think every means should be allowed to an articled clerk to acquaint himself with his Profession. To prevent persons not in the Profession from benefiting by the rule in question being set aside; let each solicitor, having a managing or articled clerk passed the intermediate examination, make declaration of the name of the clerk, and that he is in his employ, or serving his articles with him. Upon this declaration let the Law Society issue a yearly certificate to such clerk, at a nominal yearly duty, and he be bound to produce it at each court he attends before commencing his case. If the clerk leaves his situation, or his articles be assigned, the solicitor to give notice to the Law Society forth with.

Will M. E. S., or any other of your learned correspondents, state what Act and section it is?

COMMON CARRIER-RIGHT TO REFUSE PARCEL WITHOUT THE FEE FOR BOOKING.-Is a common carrier justified in refusing to receive and forward a parcel, presented at his office for delivery within his regular district, on the ground that the party presenting such parcel refuses to pay twopence for booking? Or can a common carrier insist upon receiving the amount due for the carriage of a parcel, and refuse to receive and forward it unless such amount is paid? F. the word 'issue' shall be taken generally, or in a restricted sense, a direction that the issue shall take only the shares which their parents would have taken if living, must be taken to show that the word 'issue' was used in its restricted sense (Pruen v. Osborne, 11 Sim. 133). The rule of course is the same, where the direction is that the issue shall take their father's or mother's' share (Buckle v. Fawcett, 4 Hare, 536).” O. Y. Issue means lineal descendants of any degree. But if it were otherwise, or if the word used were "child or children" instead of "issue," even then, if the parents took vested interests, leaving would be interpreted as having or having had. Therefore, in the distribution of the fund the grandchildren of the deceased brother will take their grandparents' share: (White v. Hill, L. Rep. 4 Eq. 265; Bryden v. Willett, 20 L. T. Rep. N. S. 518.) W. J. M. Concise Construction of Wills; but the rule is that a -There is no doubt, I think, that the word "issue in the extract given by "A. B. C.," must be used in its restricted sense, and that the children only of the brothers and sisters would be entitled. This view is held in Pruen v. Osborne, 11 Sim 138, and in Hawkins's gift to "issue" comprehends all descendants: (Davenpossessed of real property (freehold) marries, and after port v. Hanbury, 3 Ves. 258.) having one child (a daughte), dies, leaving his widow enceinte. She marries again, and about a month after gives birth to the child (another daughter).

D. acknowledge the deed, under 3 & 4 Will. 4, c. 74? The 77th section seems very comprehensive, applying as it does to any interest in lands of any tenure. But, on the other hand, the husband could alone dispose of his wife's chattels real in possession without her concurrence. It is presumed, therefore, that her execution, not being absolutely requisite, need not be acknowledged. The purchase-money being under 501., it is desirable to save the expense of an acknowledgment. M. Answers. (Q. 29.) DEEDS OF SETTLEMENT AND TRUSTEES.-In this case it appears to me that "G.'s" best course would be to exercise the power given him by the 27th section of the 23 & 24 Vict. c. 145, and appoint some other person or persons to be a trustee or trustees in his place. W. H. F. (Q. 30.) APPRENTICESHIP.-In Stone's Justices' Manual, 13th edit., is the following passage under the title "Master and Servant," pp. 286 and 318: "Persons under the age of twenty-one years are mentioned in the definition of the word 'employed,' and can enter into a binding contract; but it is important to remember that the contracts of infants must be beneficial, and that any important want of mutuality or unfairness of the conditions will render them void:" (Reg. v. Lord, 17 L. J. 181; Wells v. Scott, 25 J. P. 215.) It appears, therefore, that an infant coming of age cannot avoid a fair and reasonable indenture, and would, it seems, be liable for absenting himself without his master's permission. W. H. F. (Q. 32.) CONVEYANCING.-The personal representatives of A. need not be made parties to this re-conveyance, The assent of the grantee to a deed is always presumed in the absence of evidence to the contrary; so that even where the grantee does not execute the deed, it nevertheless transfers the estate to him. By the death of A., B. became entitled to an estate in severalty, and can, irrespective of the express declaration contained in the mortgage for that purpose, give an effectual re; ceipt for the mortgage money: (Smith's Comp, 3rd edit., tit. Joint Tenancy, and Deeds, Execution of, and Trustee Acts (22 & 23 Vict. c. 35, s. 23, and 23 & 24 Vict. c. 145, s. 29.) W. H. F. (Q. 33.) WILL.-The words "leaving issue would certainly be construed as "having issue," and therefore the granchildren would be entitled to share: (see Bryden v. Willett, 20 L. T. Rep. N. S. 518.) W. H. F. -I take the following from "Hawkins on the construction of Wills:"-" Rule.-A gift to 'issue' prima facie includes descendants of every degree (Davenport v. Hanbury, 3 Ves. 258). The generality of the word 'issue' is, however, restricted in a case which frequently arises, by reference to the parent of the issue in question; for it is an established rule that where the parent' of issue' is spoken of, the word issue is prima facie restricted to children of the parent (Sibley v. Perry, 7 Ves. 522; Pruen v. Osborne, 11 Sim. 132). Thus, if the devise or bequest be to the children of A. living at a given period, with a direction that the issue of any child dying before that period shall take their parent's share, the gift to issue is confined to grandchildren of A. And the rule is the same if the gift be to the children of A. living at a given period, and the issue of such as shall be then dead, such issue to take their parent's share, although the gift to issue is distinct from the direction as to taking the share of the parent (Smith v. Horsfall, 25 B. 628; Maynard v. Wright, 26 B. 285). The rule applies to devises of real estate (Bradshaw v. Melling, 19 B. 417). I have always considered it as settled that, in a will or in a deed, if it is a question whether LAW LIBRARY. R. H. A Practical Treatise on Life and Fire Assurance, Annuities, and Reversionary Sums.

We have to record the death, full of years and honours, of Mr. Edward Williams, solicitor, of Oswestry, who died on the 23rd May 1869, at his residence, Lloran House, Oswestry, in his 71st year, after an illness of two year's duration. Mr. Williams was born in Oswestry, and lived there from the day of his birth until the day of his death. About the year 1815, Mr. Williams entered the office of the late Mr. Longueville Jones, of Oswestry, who seeing Mr. Williams's aptitude and capacity for business, gave him his articles, and at the death of Mr. Longueville Jones, about the year 1810, Mr. Williams became a partner with Thos. Longueville Longueville, Esq. (Mr. Longueville Jones's son), and the partnership has continued unbroken until Mr. Williams's death. The provisional practice of the firm covered a wide area, including a considerable part of Shropshire, and a large part of North Wales, and included Robert Vaughan, Sir John Roger Kynaston, the such clients as Sir Watkin_Williams Wynn, Sir Wests of Ruthin Castle, the late Lord Dungannon, Lord Berwick, Mr. Ormsby Gore, and most of the principal nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood. When, twenty-five years ago, railway enterprise extended itself to the neighbourhood of Oswestry, the adhesion and professional assistance of the firm became almost indispensable, and the late Mr. Williams, actively engaged in promoting the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway, and subsequently the Shrewsbury and Hereford line; and in yet later years the firm have been largely engaged by the Great Western Company in promoting and carrying out the Vale of Llangollen, the Corwen, and Bala, and other schemes. So potent was the influence of the firm, and so eagerly was it sought, that Mr. Williams refused the business of two railway companies, which in the hands of some men would have formed the basis of a fortune. Half a century ago, the principal client of the late W. Longueville Jones was the celebrated John Mytton, of Halston, who was possessed of one of the largest and most fertile and valuable estates in the county of Salop. Mr. Mytton's mode of living soon involved him in pecuniary difficulties, and it is on record that the late W. Longueville Jones told Mytton, when his fortunes had been much shattered, that if he would live on 10,000l. a year for a while, his fortune should be retrieved; a proposal which Mytton repudiated in terms more forcible than polite. Ultimately, when Mytton's difficulties thickened, it became necessary to sell his fine domains, being very extensive, the sales extended over several years; and the late Mr. Williams, though then a very young man, was largely entrusted with the practical part of Mytton's business, in the management of which he first displayed those qualities of assiduity, prudence, and integrity which characterised his after life. For more than fifty years Mr. Williams was actively engaged in the duties of his profession, to the neglect of all other pursuits and recreations of any kind. With the regularity of a salaried clerk, he went to his office at a quarter to ten daily, and stayed there till six, always available, zealous, and acces sible to his clients, and had his reward in an amount of respect, confidence, and esteem, which rarely falls to the lot of any one man. A trifling incident occurs to the writer which will aptly portray the force of the sense of duty and sincerity of principle which marked the man. Upon a grateful client proposing to present Mr. Williams with a testimonial for professional services, he replied, "I have only done my duty, and I never could understand how a man was entitled to a reward for doing his duty." Mr. Williams leaves two sons, both in the Profession, and three daughters to lament his loss and emulate his virtues.-Communicated. MR. HENRY JAMES. Mr. Henry James, of Leominster, solicitor, died suddenly, of apoplexy, on the 12th inst., aged sixty-eight. He had been in practice about forty years, and was a man of considerable energy and ability. He was for many years an alderman of the borough of Leominster, and thrice served the office of mayor. LAW SOCIETIES. LAW STUDENTS' DEBATING SOCIETY. At the meeting of this society, held at the Law Institution, Chancery-lane, on Tuesday evening last week, Mr. Edgar Harvie in the chair, the question for discussion was, "Is it desirable that the recommendations of the Judicature Commis sioners should be adopted?" Mr. Warmington opened in the affirmative, and the society so decided by a considerable majority. At the meeting held on Tuesday evening last, Mr. Hunter in the chair, the question for discussion was, "Can a married woman bind her separate property by an ageement not in writing, and not expressly referring to it?" (Owens v. Dickinson, Cr. and Phillips, 55) which was opened by Mr. Hargreaves in the affirmative, and the society so decided by a majority of five votes. THE GAZETTES.

Disestablishment is conceded. This statesmanlike resolution will settle the Irish question effectually and for ever. THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of the COMMON PLEAS seems determined to distinguish himself, but he has taken a most singular means of doing so. It may be said without exaggeration that there are very few cases which come into his court in which he does not "hand down a suggestion." His Lordship's suggestions invariably prove singularly efficacious, and during the sittings 175 after Term in Middlesex and London the Common Pleas has risen, we should say, at least, 178 half-a-dozen times before twelve o'clock. Quite 176 possibly Lord Chief Justice BOVILL acts strictly in accordance with his own view of the best 178 thing to be done for the interests of the parties, but it seems to a great degree ridiculous that day after day cases should be prepared for juries 182 at vast expense, and that within a few moments of their appearance in court they should be con183 verted into special cases, or relegated to the dismal delays of arbitration. We object to this singular 183 action of the learned Judge, because counsel 184 would find it a very delicate matter to proceed with a case in the teeth of a judicial suggestion for the withdrawal of a juror, and we are sure 185 the public would prefer to dispense with the suggestions, and try their causes before the 186 tribunal which they have adopted. 178 179 183 183 BFAL PROPERTY LAWYER: Notes of New Decisions Elementary Precedents in Conveyancing MERCANTILE LAW Notes of New Decisions LAW STUDENTS' JOURNAL: Answers to the Final Examination Questions.... 188 ECCLESIASTICAL LAW: Notes of New Decisions 189 191 189 189 190 191 191 Advertisements specially ordered for the first page are charged one-fourth more than the above scale.

XLVII.-No. 1870. charitableness, and the venom, repressed by public opinion at all other times, is now permitted to flow freely, and the cherished malignities of neighbours, rivals, sects and parties find vent in print and in speech. Old grudges are now indulged in under shelter of the anonymous. A "squib" is made the pretext for stabbing in the dark a friend of whose success there is envy, or of whose rivalry there is jealousy, and for weeks before and for months after the contest the town is one great conflict of abuse, in which none are spared, for which there is no statute of limitations, but the past of every man is sifted to find what there may be in his history or in that of any of his relations to supply material for abusing him. Political difference is the pretence for this, though the motive is more often personal. A candidate is especially subjected to the ordeal, covered which he or his father or his grandmother and it is hard indeed if something cannot be dishas done or said, out of which weapons cannot be wrought for attacks in squibs if not in speeches. It is enough that he is the champion of the opposite party to justify the throwing at him of any quantity of dirt. But it is fair to say that this species of attack is usually limited to anonymous placards and the lowest class of newspapers. Respectable journals rarely indulge in them. It was, therefore, with equal astonishment and disgust that the Profession read, in the Saturday Review of June 19, an assault upon Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR, Q. C., such as has not disgraced the pages of any decent newspaper for twenty years; an attack such as would have been looked for in the Satirist of old, or in its modern imitator, the Queen's Messenger. We will not spread the libel by reprinting any part of it; enough to say that it rivalled in tone and malignancy an election placard, and could only have obtained a place in such a journal when its editor was absent or asleep. But the excuse for it is as bad as itself. Mr. SEYMOUR's offence was nothing more than that he was a candidate for Nottingham on independent principles, and would not swear allegiance to the Radical creed of his assailant. If not this, it was personal malignity; and for that there is still less excuse. The almost universal reprobation with which this uncalled-for libel has been received will, we trust, deter any future journal having a character to lose from indulging in electioneering attacks upon the characters of opposing candidates. It is a game at which two can play, a practice which will speedily provoke retort. How soon the habit may grow is seen in America, where all the newspapers do as the Saturday Review has done in the case of the Norwich election, and in a rivalry of zeal exhaust the language of abuse in assailing the candidates on the other side. It is ominous that the first adoption of the American system of political warfare should be by a journal of such standing as the Saturday Review, for it is an example that inferior newspapers will cite to justify their own misdeeds. As for Mr. SEYMOUR, it is impossible not to feel for him much sympathy, and with the Profession much indignation, at a wholly wanton and uncalled-for attack. The incidents that are recalled had been forgotten and the errors of earlier judgment long ago forgiven. Their revival by a local partisan in the heat of a contest in Nottingham would have been unjustifiable; by a distant journalist writing in cold blood in London it is altogether inexcusable. ARBITRATION. A PERSON who signs himself "A Victim of Lawyers' delays," has furnished the readers of the Times with his opinion of the manner in which arbitrations before barristers are con ducted. He condemns them in most unmeasured terms, and we do not for a moment purpose to defend them. Mr. HUNT reports that negotiations have been entered upon for disposing of part of the Careystreet site for chambers and offices, on terms very advantageous to the public. The cost of the building will not exceed a million. A LIBEL. THERE is one feature of our system of elections disgraceful to us as a people, and forming no small part of the heavy price we pay for the privilege flood-gates of envy, hatred, malice, and all unof self-government. An election opens wide the We agree in condemning them, and we shall give our reasons; but, on the other hand, we shall suggest reforms and oppose most strongly any proposition to transfer the causes to the jurisdiction of what the Times' correspondent calls lay professional arbitrators. First, as to the evils of the present system. Arbitrations are usually given to barristers who have a considerable private practice and are of some standing. They have their ordinary ap pointments to keep in addition to the arbitrations; consequently, between the convenience causes are frequently hung up for a period so of the arbitrator and of the respective counsel |
