Mr. Justice Romer (1897-U.-No. 632). Mr. Justice North (1896-R.-No. 1,364). Davis. Wednesday's list of calls to the bar, says the Daily News, reveals the statistical fact of the growing disinclination on the part of lawyers to bring up their sons to be counsel "learned in the law." Out of the entire number (64) there are only eleven whose parentage discloses any legal status or qualification. It is stated that the Leicester Town Council have this week decided, by the narrow majority of 27 to 24, and after a four hours' debate, to raise the salary of its Town Clerk from £1,000 to £1,250 a year. The Finance Committee recommended that the addition should be made forthwith, but it was eventually decided to concede the advance by two instalments-£125 at once, and the balance after five years' service from date of appointment. Mr. Justice Darling met with an accident on Monday morning while riding to the Law Courts. While proceeding with Miss Darling along Millbank-street his Lordship's horse shied at a van, and, rearing, fell backwards. The learned judge was thrown, and one of the wheels of the van passed over his left leg just below the knee, but did not break any bone. Though he has been progressing favourably, he has not sufficiently recovered from the accident to attend the Guildford Assizes, Mr. Justice Ridley going in his place. The members of the North-Eastern Circuit entertained Mr. Justice Ridley at a complimentary dinner, on Wednesday, at the Hotel Métropole, in celebration of his elevation to the Bench, when a considerable number of past and present members of the circuit, besides several guests and some members of the Northern Circuit, assembled in honour of the occasion. Mr. Tindal Atkinson, Q. C., occupied the chair, and among those present were the Lord Chief Justice, the Speaker, Lord Justice Collins, Mr. Justice Wright, and Mr. Justice Kennedy.

JOHN BATH ALLANSON and ARTHUR GEORGE CARRUTHERS, solicitors (Turner, Allanson, & Carruthers), Carnarvon. Jan. 18. [Gazette, Jan. 21. GENERAL. The Master of the Rolls has been absent from Court during the last few days on account of a cold. He is expected back very shortly. The Lord Chancellor will dine with the members of the Hardwicke Society, on Monday, February 21, at the Westminster Palace Hotel, and not on February 17, as previously announced. The memorial service for the late Mr. Edgar Jenkins, of Doctors' Commons, took place on Saturday afternoon at the church of All Saints', Norfolksquare. There was a large congregation. Speaking at the annual meeting at Norwich, on Monday, of the Norfolk and Norwich Police-court Mission, Mr. Justice Grantham said that any one who had had any thing to do with the administration of the criminal law knew that it was a great thing to be able to get at the offender at the inception of his criminal career, for then some good might be done, but with hardened criminals the greatest possible difficulty arose. With a person convicted once there was a chance of reformation, but when the convictions numbered five or six the idea of reclamation was almost hopeless. Therefore, the great thing was to stop the criminal on the threshold of his career, and this could not be better done than by the influence of a policecourt mission. No doubt it was very difficult to induce people to give up criminal habits, but there was a greater chance of reclaiming young offenders than there was of reforming the old. There had been a great decrease in the last few years in the number of persons who were brought before the magistrates and her Majesty's Judges. He could remember the time when barristers spoke of crime as prospering, and when they went on circuit expecting plenty of briefs. This was not the case now, for the character of the lower classes seemed to have changed for the better. This improvement was, he believed, due to two things-the spread of education and the remedial efforts that were made by such institutions as police-court missions. THE PROPERTY MART.
