his creditors; also for securing his good faith when bankruptcy is delayed by his creditors for the purpose of investigation, or for giving a trader an opportunity of making other arrangements with his creditors. "Your petitioners would point out that the expression trader,' in the present Bill, is much too limited in its definition. For example, it would not include a banker, an underwriter, and many other persons now subject to the bankrupt laws, and they would suggest that the definitions heretofore in use in the Bankruptcy Acts by means of special enumerations of certain specified callings should be repeated." "Your petitioners would point out that the proceeding provided in sect. 5, sub-section 4, to make a debtor bankrupt for nonpayment of a debt within seven days would be impracticable for want of certainty as to the amount of the debt being owing or the sufficiency of the security offered by the debtor. Your petitioners would suggest that the law and practice at present in force in these respects is wanting in none of these important details is thoroughly understood and works well, and should be retained. "Your petitioners are of opinion that sections 110 and 136 of the Bankruptcy Act 1861, which enable creditors by resolution to take an estate out of bankruptcy after adjudication, and to realise and adininister it in such manner as may be determined upon by the creditors, but reserving under sect. 186 the power of going to the court upon any points of difference arising in the administration of the estate have been largely resorted to, and have proved to be most valuable and beneficial, and they would urge the importance of introducing provisions of a similar character into the present Bill. "That your petitioners believe that the provisions made for liquidation by arrangement in the proposed Bill are in no respect so well adapted for that object as the provisions contained in the 192nd and following section of the Bankruptcy Act 1861, as amended by the Bankruptcy Amendment Act 1868. The effect of those Acts has now been petitioners believe that composition-deeds, when construed at great expense to the public by a large number of decisions of the Courts of Common Law and Bankruptcy; they are thoroughly understood, and fraud is effectually prevented by the Act of last session. Your petitioners are therefore of opinion that much mischief would result from repealing these provisions, and in particular your guarded from abuse as they now are by the Act passed last session, are really beneficial to creditors, as they in many cases enable them to get a better dividend than they would get under a bankruptcy, as the debtor's friends are frequently induced to assist him in the payment of a larger composition than the estate would produce under a bankruptcy if the result is to be that his business is not to be broken up. But apart from the reasons above stated for retaining the law as it at present stands in respect to deeds of arrangement, your petitioners would point out the provisions proposed by the present Bill would not be found practicable in their present form, for in it is proposed that the debtor shall assign all his estate to trustees without getting any immediate discharge or other certain advantage in return, but that he should trust for any discharge to the resolution of a meeting of his creditors at such time, and in such manner, and upon such terms and conditions as the creditors think fit,' and as in the mean time there is no stay of actions there could be no inducement to any debtor to resort to this mode of liquidation. Your petitioners would moreover observe that as the trustee is not to have the power of disclaiming onerous leases, contracts, or shares, no creditor could be advised to act as trustee. "That your petitioners consider the clauses of the present Bill, with regard to after acquired property, very harsh upon the bankrupt, and really destructive of their object. They would suggest that any provisions for making after acquired property of bankrupts liable for the debts under the bankruptcy, should be made subject in the first instance to after incurred debts, and, in the next place, that they should only operate for the general benefit of all the creditors under the bankruptcy, and not for the benefit of individual creditors, as proposed by this Bill. They consider, in fact, that it is contrary to sound policy, and to the express enactments of the law of bankruptcy up to this time, and tending to increase extortion and unfair conduct, to enable any creditor to obtain an individual advantage after bankruptcy: and they would point out that the proposed Bill is open to this objection in respect to the right given to creditors to enforce the unpaid portions of their claims against the bankrupt five years after the bankruptcy, by sect. 49, and as regards the authority to the bankrupt to purchase the debt of and stand in the shoes of his own creditor, by the same section. nience would result from the proposed provision, that the accounts in all bankruptcies (whether in London or the country), should be audited by the comptroller in London only; and they believe that it would be impossible for one officer in London, however ably assisted, to get through such an amount of work, and that most serious delay and an inefficient performance of the duty would be the result, and they would recommend that, in cases in the County Courts, the registrar should act as comptroller, except where he, himself, holds the office of trustee. "That your petitioners observe that, by sect. 10 it is proposed to abolish the title by relation back of the trustee (although from the language of sect. 91, this is not quite clear), your petitioners believe that the title by relation back is often productive of evil, and certainly, to a great extent, is founded upon a fiction of law; and your petitioners are of opinion that it would be better that it should be abolished. But in such cuse it will be important that very considerable additions should be made to the powers of assignees to set aside fraudulent conveyances, fraudulent preferences, and all other fraudulent transactions made within a limited time of the bankruptcy. "Your petitioners therefore humbly pray that your honourable House will be pleased to amend the said Bill to Consolidate and Amend the Law of Bankruptcy, in the foregoing respects, and that the said Bill, when so amended, may pass your honourable House, and become law. "And your petitioners will ever pray, &c., (Signed) "EDWARD LAWRANCE, Chairman. "PHILIP RICKMAN, Secretary." CORRESPONDENCE OF THE PROFESSION.

LOCKWOOD AND Co. SOLICITORS AS MAGISTRATES.-I hope the LAW TIMES will use all its influence to procure an alteration in the law on this matter, and the discussion re-opened a fortnight ago will be continued. It seems to me that the onus of proof against the propriety of making practising solicitors magistrates lies on those who oppose change. Why should not a practising solicitor be a magistrate? If a man possessing the qualification and a sound lawyer, in large practice, is it not ridiculous to suppose he would care for criminal practice in his county? Cannot a professional man's honour be trusted? And is not a solicitor of eminence entrusted with the weightiest matters of many families of position as fit a man to administer justice as a mere landowner who can know (and no blame to him) nothing of law? I cannot see why a barrister in practice may be a county magistrate and a solicitor in practice may not. The distinction is one which is illogical and insulting. A solicitor learned in his profession, of high character and of good local social status, is no more likely to be biassed by the chance or prospect of criminal business than a barrister. If this suspicion be not the reason for the exception in the Act, what is ? Perhaps some of your readers can inform me. I am sure the present exclusion of solicitors is not only unjust, but a very injudicious proceeding in many ways. W. R. Ringwood, May 8. LOCKE KING'S BILL-WORDS OF LIMITATION IN CONVEYANCES.-Will not the effect of this Bill be that a grant to A., his executors and "Your petitioners consider that great inconve- administrators, will in future pass the fee simple as well as a grant to A. and his heirs? At the present time heirs" may be defined (sufficiently for my purpose) to be the class of persons who, upon the death of an intestate owner in fee simple, are pointed out by law to take the next legal estate in the property. Unless, therefore, the word "heirs" is inserted in a conveyance, an ambiguity at once arises, either as to the extent of the interest granted (e. g., in a grant to A. and his issue, what is to become of the estate if A. has no issue?), or as to the persons who are to be entitled in remainder (e. g., in a grant to A., his executors and administrators, are the executors and administrators to take in trust for the heirs, or to their exclusion). This ambiguity is contrary to the rule by which it is required that the form of the donation should be strictly pursued (see Steph. Com. 212; Wms. Real Prop. 31, 131), and in no way can the ambiguity be avoided, except by using the technical expression pointed out by the law. That this is the true reason for the present rule that the fee cannot pass unless it is limited to a man's heirs, appears from Co. Litt.. lib. 1, c. 1, s. 1, 9a, where it is said that the reason wherefore the law is so precise to prescribe certain words to create an estate of inheritance, is for avoiding of uncertainty, the mother of contention and confusion." Note also that in a grant to a sole body corporate, where the use of the word "heirs would create an ambiguity, it is discarded, and the word 66 suocessors inserted in its stead. Beyond this, there is no magic in the expression. A. and his heirs." Let us now see what will happen in future. The law will point out a new class to take the next legal estate, or rather will give another name to and create a new technical expression for, that class. Instead of "heirs" it will be "executors and administrators;" and a grant to A. and his heirs will for the future be in effect a grant to A., his executors and administrators, and will be so construed. That being so, it is impossible that a special limitation to the class pointed out by law to take the next estate should have the effect of destroying the implied limitation in their favour, and that the rule should be laid down that in a grant to A. and his heirs, A. should take the fee simple, with remainder to his executors and administrators; but that in a grant to A., his executors and administrators, A. should take only a life estate, and no interest should pass to his executors and administrators. Such a state of things appears to be rather absurd. Of course I do not anticipate any change at present, at least in the universal practice, neither have I any desire to try the in which the point may be raised, and, at all experiment myself. A case may, however, occur events, if my theory be correct, some notice will have to be taken of the point in the text books. I hope, therefore, that I am not unnecessarily occupying valuable space in drawing attention to the subject. M. E. S. PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION, &c.-I should be obliged if one of your correspondents could inform me whether the Preliminary Examination is or can be dispensed with (and if so how) in the case of a clerk of ten years' standing being articled under the three years' term of service; and also if it be necessary that the clerk should have been a managing clerk for ten years, or merely a managing clerk at the time of being articled.

EQUITY OF REDEMPTION-MORTGAGE.-A. being seised of lands in fee simple, by a deed, acknowledged under the Fines and Recoveries Act, joins with her husband in mortgaging the estate for securing a sum of money borrowed by the husband. There is a proviso for reconveyance, on payment of principal and interest, to such uses as A. shall, by deed or will whether covert or sole, appoint, and in default of appointment to A. in fee. The mortgage is still subsisting, and consequently the estate has not been reconveyed. A. is desirous of creating a mortgage upon her equity of redemption in the property. Can she do so by an unacknowledged deed? There is nothing on the face of the mortgagedeed showing an intention to give A. a separate estate in the equity of redemption beyond the above-mentioned proviso for reconveyance. Newport, Monmouth.

"It is now perfectly well settled that a general covenant to repair must be construed to have reference to the condition of the premises at the time when the covenant begins to operate:" (Walker v. Hatton, 10 M. & W. 219.) In the present case, the proviso appears to have been inserted from excess of caution, and it merely qualifies the covenant to the same extent as the law would have done had it been omitted. To give any more extended operation to the proviso, would be in effect to nullify the covenant altogether; for every imperfection, unless caused by violence, may be said to arise from natural decay. M. E. S. (Q. 112.)

And he refers to Year-book, 7 Hen. 6, fol. 13. The power of the steward is very ancient; for instance, his power to fine heavily for contempt of his court-humble as the court seems-is undoubted: (See Lincoln (Earl) v. Fysher, Cro. El. 581.) LAW LIBRARY. W. R. Addison on the Law of Contracts. Sixth edition. By LEWIS W. CAVE, Barrister-at-Law. London: Stevens and Sons. We have before us the first and the last editions of this standard book, and turning to the notice with which the LAW TIMES welcomed its appearance, it is pleasant to see how completely all that was then said of it has been confirmed, and the prophecy of a great success fulfilled. At once it was received as a valuable addition to the law library, although it had been preceded not very long by a popular treatise on the same subject by Mr. Chitty. But Mr. Addison's book had the merit of a very scientific arrangement, and that which is still more important to a text book, and by which, indeed, it is to be distinguished from a mere digest, the accurate extraction and clear expression of the principles to be deduced from the collected cases. With new editions the volume has grown in bulk. It contains now more than twice the number of pages than the book that stands by its side. But this is the lot of all successful law books; inevitable, but not desirable. It results from the manner in which new editions are con structed. The author, or editor, as it may be, notes up the subsequent statutes and decided cases upon their proper pages, and these are incorporated in the text with such corrections in the previous matter as the new law may require to be made. A chapter is rarely rewritten, so as to condense the whole into an essay on the law as it is. The trouble of noting up is infinitely less than the labour of rewriting, and the practice is consequently almost universal. It is the most profitable plan alike for author and publisher. But it is attended with the disadvantage, that it leaves the field open for a rival who, compelled to write the whole, condenses the whole, and gives the same knowledge in half the bulk. It was thus that Addison ousted Chitty, and perhaps some new man, treating the subject afresh, may, in his turn, oust Addison. At present this is by far the best book upon the Law of Contract possessed by the Profession. And it is a thoroughly practical book. The subject is one upon which every solicitor is daily consulted. There is no book in his library so often resorted to as this. Nor is it to the practitioner only that it recommends itself. It should form a part of the course of reading by every law student. He should peruse it pen in hand, and extract the principles set forth in the text, for the purpose of committing them to memory. A small volume of "questions" on Addison on Contracts, similar to that we lately noticed upon Stephen's Blackstone would be extremely useful. We have reviewed this work so often, as the successive editions appeared, and it so well known to all our readers, that there is no need to describe its plan or execution more particularly. The statement that a new edition has appeared, carefully edited by Mr. Cave, suffices of itself to secure for it a place in every law library.

The thirty-seventh annual festival of this society The president was supported by Baron Pigott, The report stated : "The committee have much pleasure in stating, that after satisfying all claims, they have been able to make a considerable addition to the reserve fund. The income last year from all sources amounted to 40291. 5s. 6d., and the expenditure to 1434. 1s. 8d. The difference has been added to the invested capital or reserved fund, which has thus been increased from 40,5541. 4s. on the 6th April 1868, to 43,1491. 7s. 10d. on the 5th April 1869. The capital is all invested in Government or on real securities. "The society has a Casual or Benevolent Fund formed for the purpose of meeting cases not provided for by the General or Principal Fund. Every member subscribes to this Benevolent Fund; and out of it the widows and orphan chilof the members, and all law clerks, whether members or not, and their widows suffering from temporary and unavoidable misfortune, are from time to time assisted with small gifts of money not exceeding 51. The case of every applicant not a member or the widow of a member must be recommended. It is then inquired into, and the society has special facilities for doing this, and if the applicant be found a distressed and deserving person, he or she is at once assisted. The committee have received 59 of these applications during the past year; and on investigation 43 were found worthy of assistance and relieved accordingly. The remaining applications did not come within the rules. Some members needing temporary pecuniary help in pressing emergency, and who would not accept it by way of gift, have received it by way of loan. These small loans are repayable by instalments without interest or any kind of charge. A sum of 3731. has been expended in these gifts and loans; the total relief afforded out of this fund to members and non-members, their widows and families, has now reached the sum of 12,0271. 15s. "The amount in hand of the Casual Fund is very small. The balance on the 5th April 1848, amounted to 2157. 7s. 10d. The receipts of the (including an investment of 2001.) 6671. 10s. 8d., year have been 4851. 16s. 11d., and the expenditure leaving in hand on the 5th April 1869, 331. 14s. 1d. "Besides the benefits already given to the widows of members, it is proposed to form a fund in order to grant to those widows who may be in necessitous circumstances (and there are many) small pensions, and as a commencement of that fund, the committee have out of the casual fund set apart a sum of 9111. 10s. 7d. in the purchase of 10367. 17s. 5d. reduced annuities.

He knew not a scene more terrible to contemplate than that of a man who, after having devoted his whole energies to support his wife and children, was suddenly arrested in his industrious course by illness that at once deprived him of all means of rescuing himself and family from ruin. It was scenes like these which had stimulated Profession, to institute the present society, to some intelligent and good men, members of the which he heartily wished success, and concluded fession, from the attorney's clerk to the judge on by making an earnest appeal to the legal prothe bench, to join the society and give it their utmost support. Several other toasts were given, but the pressure upon our space makes it impossible to report them. LONDON AND PROVINCIAL LAW The annual general meeting of this Society was held on the 17th April. James R. Hope-Scott, Esq., Q.C., in the chair. The report from the directors was read, by which it appeared that the new policies issued were 220in number, assuring 306,6251. and producing in new premiums the sum 10,067. 19s. 9d. The total premiums received in the year were 77,2371.9s. 6d., and the income from all sources amounted to 97,9371. 12s. 1d. The charges of management, 34781. 12s. 7d. have, notwithstanding the increased business, scarcely exceeded those of the year 1867. The claims by death which have been paid during the year amounted, including bonuses, to 24,174/. 11s. 11d.. assured under 24 policies --Of this sum, 12,1841. 88. 8d. fell on the non-profit class, and 11,9901. 38. 3d. on participating policies. These amounts are below what might have been anticipated, according to the society's tables, and are one-third less than the sum paid for claims in the year 1867. The existing assurances exceed two millions and a half. The assets of the society amounted to 495,1831. 14s. 9d., and the average rate of interest at which they were invested, on the 31st December, was 41. per cent. This calculation excludes the sum which represents the value of the society's house, but estimates the amount invested in the purchase of reversions as producing 5 per cent. The increase in the assets during the year exceeded 50,000l., being more than half the total income. The chairman, after referring to the facts men Adding to the above sum the amount of premiums which were actually due at the closing of the account, and which were paid before the expiration of the usual days of grace, viz., 54261. 3s. 8d., the assets exceeded half a millon sterling. The exact figure being 5000,000l. 18s. 5d. tioned in the report, said: Generally, the position of the society is briefly this. We have two and a half millions of sums assured; half a million of assets; an annual income of 100,0001. and I think if you take into account all that this company has gone through, its long period of forbearance as to dividends to shareholders, the long abstinence of directors to take anything like the amount which their services fairly entitled them to, you will see that these sacrifices have met with their reward, and that the early prudence and moderation which distinguished the management of this concern, are now bearing their fruit. The past management of the society entitles it to your fullest confidence, and to the confidence of all who shall learn from the reports which go forth from this company, the state of things which here exists. I hope this will encourage you to renewed exertions. Your efforts cannot but be very valuable, and I ask that both directors and shareholders will be good enough to renew their activity on behalf of the society. One word more, and that is to refer to a matter of public legislation. Mr. Cave, a member of the late Government, then holding the office of VicePresident of the Board of Trade, has introduced a Bill into Parliament to provide for the security of policy-holders, and he proposes to do that by compelling the publicity of assurance companies accounts. The Bill, I am informed, has been read a second time in the House of Commons, and no "The committee in returning their sincere thanks doubt it will be prosecuted with all convenient to the Profession for the kind aid hitherto afforded, dispatch. It requires the registration of accounts respectfully appeal for a continuance of that in a particular form; but I cannot believe it possupport which is essentially necessary to the per-sible that any more stringent form of accounts manent usefulness and prosperity of the society." The chairman, in proposing the toast of the evening, "Prosperity to the United Law Clerks Society,' congratulated the members on the great success that had hitherto attended its course, and expressed the pleasure he felt at the large assembly of the friends and supporters of the institution that evening, which gave an ample guarantee of its continued well-doing. He could, "The present annual expenditure of the society in the assistance of its members and non-members is about 16001. "Since 1832, a sum of 37,2847. 14s. 11d. has been plished, nor could that fund have been accumu- can be required than that we have always adopted. We give in our accounts almost every possible detail, and are always ready at the meetings of shareholders to give every explanation that is needed. We have, therefore, nothing to fear from the publication of these accounts; but I mention the subject to the shareholders principally for this reason, that next year they may possibly find a difference in the form of the accounts. What will be required will, I believe, be less than is given now by this society; but if the shareholders should find less information in the accounts than they have been in the habit of having, they will at all times have access to this information, either at the office or when they come to these meetings. Therefore, while we are complying with the law, and thus giving the security which it is supposed the new form of accounts will afford, we shall continue to give such further details as the shareholders may require. With these few remarks I beg to move that the report now read, together with the balance sheet therein referred to, be received and approved." 66 THE GAZETTES. Professional Partnerships Dissolbed.

ECCLESIASTICAL FEES.-In pursuance of authority given to them by an Act passed in 1867, the two English Archbishops and the Lord Chancellor have settled the following table of fees, subject BEECROFT, ELIJAH, formerly eating house keeper, Derby, Pet. to the approval of the Privy Council:-The vicargeneral, chancellor, archdeacon, or official is to have three guineas on the " consecration of a church and burial ground" (and, we presume, on the consecration of a church alone, but it is not so stated); two guineas on the consecration of a burial ground; the registrar seven guineas in the former case, and six guineas in the latter; the bishop's secretary a guinea and the apparitor a guinea on either occasion. On a visitation, episcopal, or archidiaconal, the chancellor is to have 28., the registrar 12s. 6d., apparitor 3s. 6d. The table does not declare who are to pay these fees, or how many sums of 12s. 6d. the registrar is to receive from a clergyman cited, and the several outgoing and incoming churchwardens of the parish. On a faculty for alterations in churches or churchyards the chancellor is to have a guinea, the registrar 31. 13s. 6d., and the apparitor 10s. 6d., besides 1s. a mile on personally serving a citation in the country. On ordination the registrar is to have 5s., and the bishop's secretary two guineas. On this occasion the new clergyman pays his first ecclesiastical fees, and as he may wish to know for what he is charged, we subjoin the following authoritative description:-"The secretary's fee is for correspondence with the candidates, the drawing of papers and instructions prior to examination, attendance at the ordination, preparing the letters of orders, and entering the names and titles of the candidates in the Bishops' Act Book. The registrar's fee is for registering the names and titles of the candidates in the register books of the diocese." BREAKFAST-EPPS'S COCOA - GRATEFUL AND COM FORTING. The very agreeable character of this preparation has rendered it a general favourite. The Civil Service Gazette remarks "The singular success which Mr. Epps attained by his homeopathic preparation of cocoa has never been surpassed by any experimentalist. By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of wellselected cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills." Made simply with boiling water or milk. Sold by the Trade only in lb. lb., and 1lb. tin-lined packets, labelled "JAMES EPPS and Co., Homœopathic Chemists, Loudon."
