On the 9th inst., in the House of Commons, Mr. Schwann asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he was prepared, in order to promote soundness of trade in the mercantile community, to reduce the charges now made in England and Wales for the extraction of information relating to deeds of arrangement, bills of sale, and county court judgments, which now cost respectively 2s. 6d., 18., and 6d. for each single cise, to the rate charged in Scotland of 18. 6d. for each search, which enabled the applicant to extract as he might desire at a sitting, and which thereby reduced to a merely nominal sum the cost per case of obtaining this absolutely essential information to the trading community. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said: "With regard to the county court fees, which are the only fees of those mentioned for which the Treasury is directly responsible, the whole amount received only just covers the necessary office expenses, and I do not see my way to lower them. For the other fees the Lord Chancellor is primarily responsible, and it is to him that requests for their reduction should be addressed. The following are the circuits chosen by the judges for the ensuing summer assizes-viz.: Western Circuit, the Lord Chief Justice, and Wright, J., the latter not joining the circuit until Exeter is reached; Home Circuit, Wright, J.; South-Eastern Circuit, Hawkins, J.; Oxford, Circuit, Mathew and Channell, JJ., the latter joining at Stafford; Midland Circuit, Lawrance and Darling, JJ., the latter not joining until Warwick is reached; North-Eastern Circuit, Day and Grantham, JJ.; North Wales Circuit, Wills, J.; South Wales Circuit, Phillimore, J.; Northern Circuit, Bruce and Ridley, JJ. The Lord Chief Justice has fixed the following commission days for holding the summer assizes on the Western Circuit-viz: Salisbury, Monday, May 30: Dorchester, Friday, June 3; Wells, Tuesday, June 7; Bodmin, Monday, June 13; Exeter, Monday, June 20; Winchester, Saturday, June 25; Bristol, Saturday, July 2. The Lord Chief Justice will go on circuit alone until Exeter is reached, when he will be joined by Mr. Justice Wright. Mr. Justice Wright has fixed the following commiɛɛon days for the summer assizes on the Home Circuit: Maidstone, Tuesday, May 31; Guildford, Thursday, June 9. Judge Hirschberg, of Newburg, N.Y., has, says the Albany Law Journal, given a decision in favour of the plaintiff in the case of Place v. Conklin and Others. In this suit the plaintiff, an aged resident of New Windsor, sued to recover 4,000dols. worth of property which Conklin had received Judge Hirschberg says: "A contract to procure a husband or wife for from his wife, Mrs. Place, as compensation for getting her a husband. a consideration is regarded as fraudulent in its character, and the party paying the consideration, although with full knowledge, is, nevertheless, regarded as acting under a species of imposition or undue influence. The plaintiff has been deprived of his property by fraud. It is not pretended that he knew anything of the bargain between his wife and Conklin. She for procuring the marriage by means of money and property to be acquired had no property of her own, and the contract was in effect to pay Conklin as the fruits of the union. The unlawful agreement was not to pay Conklin with property belonging to Mrs. Place, but was to procure the plaintiff's property for Conklin through the medium of a forbidden bargain. By the terms of the conspiracy the husband was to be induced to part with his property under the mistaken belief that he was making provision for his wife's support and maintenance, when, in fact, he was unconsciously furnishing her funds to be paid for the purchase-price of himself as a husband, by virtue of a secret and illegal agreement between her and the intimate friend of the husband, through whose active agency the marriage had been effected." At the annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Solicitors' Law Stationery Society (Limited) a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. was declared for the year ending the 31st of December, 1897. At the annual general meeting of the National Provincial Bank of England, Limited, the report was adopted, the retiring directors were re-elected. Thomas George Robinson, Esq., and Selwyn Robert Pryor, Esq., were elected directors in place of Richard Blaney Wade, Esq., and Duncan Macdonald, Esq., deceased; and Mr. Edwin Waterhouse and Mr. William Barclay Peat were re-appointed auditors for the current year.
