The inaugural dinner of this society was held at the Pier Hotel, Southsea, on Thursday evening, July 22, and passed off in a very successful and agreeable manner. The want of a society of this kind has been long felt by the members of the legal Profession, and now that it has been fairly established it is hoped and expected that the advantages it offers will be generally appreciated. The objects of the society are set forth in the rules as follows: -1. To protect and sustain the interests and character of the legal Profession, and to promote fair and honourable practice. 2. To originate, watch, discuss, and, if necessary, petition, in relation to measures producing changes in the law affecting the legal Profession. 3. To establish and maintain a law library, if and when found practicable. 4. To adopt such measures or do such acts as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of all or any of the above objects. The attendance at the opening dinner was not so numerous as had been expected, some of the members having from unavoidable causes been unable to be present. The chair was occupied by Mr. Ald. Hellard, the president of the society, and the vice-chair by Mr. Ald. Henry Ford, the vice-president; and among those present were Messrs. C. H. Binsteed, T. Cousins, hon. secretary; A. Besant, hon. treasurer; S. S. Long, J. J. Webb, T. J. Provis, Fareham; W. Reade, jun., Ringwood; E. P. Joyce, Newport; E. Goble, Fareham; S. J. Elliott, W. H. Ford, A. S. Blake, H. Reed, &c. The dinner was served in excellent style, under the personal superintendence of Miss Dare, the manageress, and the wines were of the first quality. On the removal of the cloth, deeply affecting the well-being of society-interests of a variety of kinds, often delicate in their nature, and involving momentous questions, and often dependent upon the mutual good feeling and honesty of intention which generally existed in the Profession. The well-being of society, and the interests of their clients were all concerned, and if such objects were promoted by societies of this kind it was desirable that they should be supported. (Hear, hear.) Another object which struck him as very desirable was that a society of this kind promoted, to say the least, a sort of uniformity of practice. (Hear, hear.) At times, of course, questions of what was right practice or otherwise would arise, and when gentlemen had opportunities of meeting each other and interchanging their views it would have its proper influence on all parties, and tend to produce that general reliance on, and good feeling towards, each other that they ought all to entertain. (Applause.) Mr. Cousins had kindly taken a great interest in the matter, and he would follow, and he was sure press upon them the desirability of adding to their numbers, in order to enlarge the sphere of operations of the society and extend its benefits in all respects. (Applause.) Mr. T. Cousins, after some preliminary observations, said that they were aware that the society originated with a few gentlemen dining together, and having been put into shape and worked up from time to time it had assumed the important position in the borough it now occupied. The chairman had been pleased to pay him a compliment, but no one could possibly have paid more attention to the matter than their friend Mr. Hellard had. (Hear, hear.) If it had not been for Mr. Hellard this society would never have been in existence, and certainly would never have occupied the position it did now. (Hear, hear.) He had not only attended their general meeting, but every meeting of the committee, and they were all proud of a gentleman who occupied such an eminent position in his profession. (Applause.) One object of the society was to promote fair and honourable practice, and he would go a step further and say that he believed that in the state of public opinion with reference to changes in the law and law reforms, societies of this description were exceedingly necessary for the purpose of carefully watching all changes in law, not so much in reference to their own interests, as those of the public at large. (Hear, hear.) And after all, the Profession constituted the real legislators of the country, and led public opinion with reference to legal changes. When any change was made, it was either the Attorney-General, or SolicitorGeneral, or some eminent member of the legal Profession who introduced the Bill and got it passed into law. These societies were important, because by representing the opinion of the majority of the members they might influence legislation. (Hear, hear.) It was highly important that these societies should exist because they, as practical lawyers, did really know what the law ought to be, on practical and even theoretical grounds, a great deal better than many of those who had to make the laws. As to the law library he would not say a word, because they could not find the means or the disposition among their country friends to establish one at present. He thought that societies of this kind not only promoted uniformity of practice, but also that generous and kindly feeling which ought to exist among all members of the same profession. (Hear, hear.) After mentioning that a number of other gentlemen would have attended, but for circumstances over which they had no control, he said he had been asked to mention the name of their friend, Mr. Alderman Stigant, who was in a delicate state of health, and who wished him to state particularly how warm an interest he felt in the society, and how exceedingly sorry he was that he could not be there to-night. (Hear, hear.) If any little time or trouble he had spent in getting this meeting together had been productive of the slightest good, he could only say that his professional friends were perfectly welcome to it, and his reward was in seeing them present tonight. (Applause,) Mr. Binsteed said that a very pleasing duty had been entrusted to him, and that was to propose "The President of the Society." (Applause.) Among the many objects of a society like this he felt that the most important was that of raising the tone of the character of their own body. (Hear, hear.) No body of men was so much abused as their own, and nobody was so essential to the existence, the comfort, and the welfare of all. (Hear, hear.) He believed it was quite true that they had succeeded to the position The usual toasts were proposed, and then occupied by the family confessor of the Roman The Chairman proposed the toast of the even- time. They were the depositaries of the secrets ing, "Prosperity to the Hampshire Law Society.' of families; they were often the depositaries of (Applause.) He could not but express his great the miseries of families; and it rested with them pleasure at seeing so many gentlemen connected to cure those miseries, and to compromise, and to with the legal profession present, because if there arrange, and repair mischiefs and misfortunes that was one profession in which it was desirable that overhung families, in a vast number of circumthere should be a community of good feeling it was stances. It was essential, for the welfare of their in that of the law, for interests were concerned fellows, even more than for their own dignity, that their character should be maintained, and he was sure that the gentlemen who had attended the previous meetings of the society had done the best they could to maintain and elevate the character of their body by electing their friend, Mr. Hellard, as their president. (Applause.) He was sure that the election of Mr. Hellard, as president was a guarantee of the wish of all the members who had hitherto joined that the character of the association, and the honour and dignity of the Profession should be maintained, and that they should do the utmost they could to obtain the good feeling of their fellows, and to remove from public opinion the idea that they were to be "sold" for a few guineas at any time. (Hear, hear.) One constantly saw most flagitious and fraudulent cases carried on by members of their profession, simply because they were retained to do it. He hoped that that was the characteristic of some few only, and they should endeavour to impress upon the public that those individuals furnished exceptions to the rule on which their practice was maintained. (Applause.) The Chairman said he hardly felt that he deserved their kind expression of feeling, except that having for upwards of forty years been a member of the Profession he had had some considerable experience of matters, and although his line of practice was not that which had brought him before the public so much as that of many others he had probably seen as much of the mainsprings of life as most men. He quite endorsed what had been said by his friend Mr. Binsteed as to the importance of maintaining the status, honour, and position of the Profession. His wish had always been to do so-(applause)-and it would continue to be so, and anything he could do to advance the interests of a society like this he should be always ready to do. (Applause). Mr. W. Reade, jun., proposed, "The officers of the society." He pointed out that upon the officers the real working of the society, whether for good or evil, to a great extent depended. They had an arduous duty to perform. as they had to steer between Scylla and Charybdis. These gentlemen would, prima facie, be responsible for the next twelve-months for the way the society went on; whether this should be the first and last dinner, or whether, as he trusted, it would be the commencement of a long series, and that the society would grow greater and greater every year, and extend throughout Hampshire those principles and feelings without which the legal Profession became a mockery and a sham. (Applause.) He felt that the existence and power of a society of this kind were essentially necessary if they wished to raise the character of this branch of the Profession. They were the most powerful body in England. The one temporal subject who took precedence of every other was the Lord Chancellor. Who made the Lord Chancellor? Popular prejudice imagined that the Queen or the Premier made him, but it was the attorneys who did so. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) It was the attorneys who distributed the prizes at the Bar; and the members of the Bar were nothing more nor less than their tenants at will. How important, then, that the instruments from which those results spring, should be pure in every way. (Hear, hear.) They could not secure the proper working of the society without a proper staff of officers, and he was sure that they could repose implicit confidence in those they had selected. (Cheers.) The Vice-Chairman responded, and after paying a graceful compliment to Mr. Reade for the able manner in which he had proposed the last toast, said that during the thirty-five years he had been connected with the Profession he had often thought that such an institution as this would tend to elevate and maintain the position of the Profes sion. The great object was not merely to secure advantages for themselves, but to promote the high and honourable character of their Profession, so as to gain something for their clients. He thought that anything that tended to elevate the character of members of the Profession must be a benefit to their clients. (Hear, hear.) Speaking on behalf of the executive officers, it would be their study to promote the objects defined so ably in the rules. Mr. Cousins had devoted a great deal of time and trouble, and all the energy he possessed, to get them together, and he had been well assisted by the president. He trusted that next year they would have a great accession of members. Today he had received the authority of Mr. J. H. Hearn, of Newport, to put his name down as a member, and he had no doubt that when the society became known, and that it had been brought into existence, they would have a great many more members. (Hear, hear.) One great benefit to be derived from the society was that young members, on entering the Profession, would have a body to go to for their guidance and instruction. (Hear, hear) He believed that they would gain public opinion by raising the character of the Profession. He should be too glad to assist in every possible way he could in promoting the interest and the welfare of a profession with which he had been so long connected. (Applause.) Mr. Provis, in complimentary terms, proposed, YOUNGMAN, THOMAS, livery-stable keeper, Bristol gardens, and "The Press," which was responded to by Mr. Hay and Mr. Green. The Ladies," was proposed in a neat speech by Mr. Blake, and after Mr. Joyce had responded, Warrington-mews, Maida-hill Pet. July 19. Reg. Murray. Q. A. Parkyns. Sol.

TOTAL SUM ASSURED, £3,027,386. INCOME, £126,627. ASSURANCE FUND, £623,773. NEW BUSINESS OF 1868-SUMS ASSURED, £356,833; NEW PREMIUMS, £11,318. Wine-tenths of the Total Profits are divided among the Assured. Considerably more than one-tenth of the Profits is derived from Policies which do not participate in the Profits, so that the Assured have larger Bonuses than if they formed a Mutual Insurance Company and received the whole of the Profits derived from their own Policies. The Expenses of Management are less than Four per Cent. on the Income. The Premiums are calculated for every half-year of age. The Conditions of the Policies allow persons whose lives are insured to Reside or Travel, without special licence or payment of an extra premium, in any part of the world, distant more than 33 degrees from the Equator. Policies in the hands of third parties are not vitiated by suicide, or by the life assured transgressing the stipulated limits. The business of the Society includes the granting of 1 oans on the Society's Policies, on Life Interests, Reversions, and other approved Securities; also the Purchase of Life Interests and Reversions, and the grant of Immediate and Survivorship Annuities. The Annual Reports are regularly printed, with full accounts of the Receipts and Expenditure, and may be obtained by written or personal application at the Office. THE USUAL COMMISSION ALLOWED TO SOLICITORS ON ALL POLICIES INTRODUCED BY THEM. ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, IM UNFORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, AND UNCHALLENGEABLE, ISSUED BY THE PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, LUDGATE-HILL, LONDON, E.C. ESTABLISHED 1848. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an objection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to assure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate the present tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, in the event of inability or unwillingness to continue payment of their premiums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will especially commend itself, being entirely free from all conditions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the same time it absolutely guarantees at decease, even when a default is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid, bearing the same proportion to the total amount assured as the number of premiums actually paid may bear to the whole number originally contracted to be paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will expressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the Assurance. The Assured will thus always have the option of retaining either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, according to the duration of the Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary Assurances. Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or reversionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy issued on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds, the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, creditors, and others holding Policies of this class as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances-a matter of great importance where Policies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the Policies under these Tables being unforfeitable and unconditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The Prudential Assurance Company possesses an income of 215,0007. a-year; its position is unquestionable: and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any office in the kingdom.

Revising barristerships are in the gift of the senior judge of assize, and heretofore it has been the custom for the Judges to ratify in succeeding years the appointments made by their predecessors, unless circumstances arise demanding a change. In this way it has frequently been in the power of Judges to recognise unsuccessful merit and to provide for necessitous members of circuits during the remainder of their lives. That pleasant and admirable period in the history of the Profession appears to be gone for ever, unless the next generation of Judges reverse the decree of the present. That decree appears to be that revising barrist rships shall be given, in the first instance, to Judges' sons, and an example of the fidelity with which this decree is observed is afforded by the Home Circuit. The first favour, not of a Judge's son proper, it is true, appointment made at these assizes was in but of the grandson of an ex-Lord Chancellor, namely, Mr. JEMMETT, a gentleman of the Equity Bar, and, what is of more importance, as far as we are aware, quite new to the business of registration. The second appointment has, we are given to understand, been conferred upon Mr. CHANNELL, son of the learned Baron, and a third, it is stated, is to be the prize of Mr. VAUGHAN WILLIAMS, son of the ex-judge. themselves excellent appointments. It is hard Now, we will assume that these may be in to speak slightingly of untried men, and we should not have commented upon the subject had there been vacancies to fill in the ordinary course of things. But vacancies have been created. To take an instance; a gentleman of singular ill-fortune at the bar and in his domestic circle was appointed to a revising barristership by a most kind-hearted Judge. The gift was no mean boon, and was appreciated as such. Now he has been removed, and the grandson of Lord St. LEONARDS succeeds. It is reported to us that another gentleman of long standing, and admitted capacity and experience, has been removed, or rather passed over, in likə manner. As we have remarked, we have nothing to say against Judges' sons, they may claim to share with others the offices to which their merits and standing entitle them; but we do consider it a matter for great regret that public offices should be bestowed on them by preference. Great indignation has been excited on the Home Circuit by these incidents; and by reason also that it was stated that the Judges had met and determined that revising barristerships are offices for which Judges' sons are fitted, and to which they ought to be appointed. It is with much regret that we bring this matter so prominently forward. Probably small good will be effected; but we shall have discharged our duty to the Profession by doing our utmost to clear the way to promotion for the laborious and capable members of the Profession. |
