withdrawn or stopped the sheriff was entitled to the same fees as if the execution had been completed, including poundage. Lee v. Dangar, Grant, & Co. (1892, 2 Q. B. 337) was an authority.

KENNEDY, J., said that there would not have been a review of the district registrar's allowance bad be taken the sheriff's poundage into consideration, but here he had refused to consider that head of fees altogether.COUNSEL, Bosanquet, Q.C., and Lochnis; J.

GRANT v. HILLAM. Div. Court. 5th Nov.
PRACTICE-PLEADING-DEFAULT OF PLEADING-MOTION FOR JUDGMENT-
ORD. 27, R. 11.

This was a motion for judgment under ord. 27, r. 11. The action was brought in July, 1897. No appearance was entered by the defendant. The plaintiff thereupon filed a statement of claim. No defence having been delivered, the plaintiff now moved for judgment. The action was brought to recover £200 under an agreement dated the 13th of May, 1896, and for an order directing the defendant to transfer 1,000 fully-paid £1 shares in a company called the London and Cripple Creek Reduction Corporation (Limited) in accordance with the terms in the same agreement. The statement of claim, after getting out the agreement and alleging that the plaintiff had done all things to entitle him to the amount claimed and to the transfer of the shares, concluded as follows: "The defendant has failed to pay the said plaintiff the said sum of £200 or any part thereof, and has neglected and failed to execute any transfer of the said 1,000 fully-paid shares or any of the same notwithstanding the said 1,000 shares have been allotted to him." Ord. 27, r. 11, is as follows: "In all other actions than those in the preceding rules of this order mentioned, if the defendant makes default in delivering a defence, the plaintiff may set down the action on motion for judgment, and such judgment shall be given as upon the statement of claim the court or a judge shall consider the plaintiff to be entitled to."

THE COURT (WRIGHT and KENNEDY, JJ.) declined to make the order, on the ground that the court were asked to grant specific performance of the transfer of the shares and the statement of claim did not allege that the defendant was possessed of any shares. The last paragraph of the statement of claim was consistent with the defendant having already disposed of the shares allotted to him. The motion was ordered to stand over until the trial of the action.-COUNSEL, Tindal Atkinson and C. Scott. SOLICITORS, Bartlett & Gribble.

CHANGES IN PARTNERSHIPS.

DISSOLUTION.

Sir R. T. Reid, Q.C., M.P., has been sworn in as a Justice of the Holborn Town Hall, on the occasion of the annual smoking concert in aid of the Sick and Provident Fund of the staff of the Royal Courts of Justice.

The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council resumed their sittings on Wednesday.

There are also three petitions for the prolongation of letters patent.

The death on the 5th of November is announced of Mr. Horatio Brandon, who practised as a solicitor at No. 15, Essex-street, Strand, for subsequently in partnership with his eldest son and the eldest son of his forty years in partnership, firstly, with his brother, who died in 1888, and deceased partner, who now succeed to the business in Essex-street. To the deceased London is largely indebted for the possession in its present condition of Leicester-square. Few persons of the present day are able to recall the hot-bed of every abomination which the old square was before the deceased gentleman solved the legal problem of its acquisition, and induced Baron Albert Grant to find the capital for the purchase. The presentation of the square, embellished as it now exists, by Baron Grant to the nation remains a record in the history of London.

:

In the course of the trial of the matrimonial suit of Bailey v. Bailey, on Friday in last week (says the Times), Mr. Inderwick, Q.C., complained that both sides had experienced considerable difficulty in obtaining sitting accommodation for their witnesses. As a matter of fact, most of them were obliged to stand about the whole day in the corridors outside. The President said: I entirely agree. These Law Courts are probably the most ill-constructed buildings of their kind in the world. Mr. Inderwick, Q.C. The courts were designed with the idea that the public should occupy only the places set apart for them in the gallery, and that the body of the court should be kept entirely for the accommodation of those actually engaged in the cases and the members of the bar. The public, however, fill every available seat in court long before the parties arrive when any sensational case is on, and the result is that no place is left for witnesses. The President said he should direct the usher to find seats for the witnesses in the body of the court, and if the public had to be turned out they must find seats in the gallery.

Mr. J. M. Lely writes to the Times the following letter: "The Land HENRY MOTT, WILLIAM RICHARD DENT, and ALFRED FENWICK MOTT, Transfer Act of the late Session very strikingly exemplifies the evils of

[ocr errors]

that allusive legislation to which you recently allowed me to direct public attention in your columns. The 20th section enables her Majesty the the Queen in Council to apply compulsory registration to any county or part of a county,' and enacts that for the purposes of the section the word 'county' shall have the same meaning as in the Local Government Act, 1888. The interpretation clause of the Act of 1888 enacts that the word 'county' does not include a county of a city or county of a town, and separately defines 'administrative county' as meaning the area for which a county council is elected, thus including the areas of the County of London, of the three Ridings of Yorkshire, and of other divisions of other counties. Assuming it to be quite clear, on carefully comparing the two Acts, that the County of London is a county to which the 20th section of the Act of 1897 applies, I think all persons interested have strong ground of complaint that, in order to know the law on so important a matter as to what area compulsory registration of titles on sale may be applicable, they should be obliged to rely, not only upon an incorporation by reference, but on an incorporation by reference tiresomely incomplete."

CURRENT TOPICS.

MR. RUBENSTEIN and Mr. B. G. LAKE had a tournament about the Land Transfer Act on Monday; and as it is desirable that both sides should be fully heard, we report specially their Speeches in another column. When the question comes more immediately on the carpet, we may offer some comments on some of Mr. LAKE's arguments.

ATTENTION should be directed to the correspondence with the Colonial Office relative to the strange regulation made by the Canadian Minister of Customs that statutory declarations may be made in this country before the president or secretary of a chamber of commerce, or even before any employé of an exporter, which we print in another column.

LORD ESHER'S farewell was a genuine success-a matter which cannot be averred of all judicial leave-takings. The Bar, in spite of the growls one has heard from men who did not relish the kind of so-called argument which was alone permitted when the late Master of the Rolls was in his seat, were heartily sorry to say farewell to the old man. The old man himself was in riotous spirits as happy, he said, as a man could possibly be. Even on this solemn occasion he could not forbear from his accustomed "chaff"; witness the most unsound reason he alleged for his becoming a judge, namely, that he had always made up his mind to be one, and his solemn exhortation to the serried ranks of barristers before him to go and do likewise. But, in touching on the principles on which he had acted during his judicial career, Lord ESHER said, in all seriousness, a great deal which (if, perhaps, in parts, somewhat exaggerated) may, nevertheless, be very profitably considered.

THE SUM at stake in the case of Jones v. Spencer (considered by the House of Lords on Tuesday last) was trifling; the consequences of the decision in that case may be of great importance. The extreme reluctance of the Court of Appeal, as constituted before the recent changes, to grant a new trial upon the ground that the verdict was against the weight of evidence was so well known that applications of this nature have diminished almost to vanishing point in recent years. The principle upon which
