members, but more like 7,000, and of these, of course, only a small proportion,
unfortunately, found the profession such a success as they would wish it to
be. Hence arose the necessity for a benevolent association, and i was
modelled more or less on the lines of the Solicitors' Benevolent Association.
As had been rightly said, the Barristers' Benevolent Association was a
younger association, and its funds were less, but the necessity for it had
been pressed upon the members of the bar. He hoped the two branches of
the profession would always stand by one another. He objected to the term
"lower" branch, and would prefer to say the other branch of the profession.
He believed the motto, "United we stand, divided we fall," might very well
be applied to them.
Mr. G. P. ALLEN submitted the health of "The Incorporated and other
Law Societies of England and Wales," speaking of the value of the work
done by the Incorporated Law Society for the profession throughout the
country. That the Incorporated Law Society did a great work he was in a
position to assert, because, for one year, he had been an honorary member of
the council consequent on his being President of the Manchester Law
Society, and he had had the opportunity of seeing what an enormous amount
of work the council of the society got through. When they came to consider
that the council was composed of gentlemen who were engaged in the most
active pursuit of their profession, whose time was most precious, and who,
notwithstanding that, gave all the time that was necessary for attending to
the interests of the profession generally, they would agree that their services
were deserving of all gratitude, as they were of the greatest benefit to
practitioners throughout the country. With regard to the law societies of
England and Wales generally, they did in the first instance what was right
and proper in the interest of the profession generally in their own district.
In the second place they had very large committees, the result being that
they included, as a rule, the leading practitioners of the district. As a conse-
quence, a bond of fellowship was created which was of very great service not
only to themselves, but also to all the practitioners in the district they had
to control. When any point of importance arose which required to be
decided it was referred to the committee of the society, who dealt with it;
and the societies were of very great service to the profession.

Mr. THOMAS EGGAR (president of the Sussex Law Society) returned thanks.
He said the provincial law societies were greatly indebted to the Incorporated
Law Society for the assistance and encouragement they received from the
central authority. He was not sure that the provincial societies did all they
could or all they might in the way of reciprocity. He thought they might
do a little more sometimes to strengthen the hands of the central authority.
When they thought what the Incorporated Law Society did for the profes-
sion at large, it was a matter of astonishment that so comparatively small
a proportion of the total number of solicitors on the rolls were members.
He thought this was a matter that really ought to be remedied, and that
they should do more by membership to support and strengthen the hands of
the central society. He was afraid they got a little bit slack in the country
at all events, by leaving things to be attended to by the council in London.
They looked after the interests of the country solicitors very well, but the
country solicitors might help them more than they did. He could not sit
down without speaking of Mr. Howlett, who was one of the greatest sup-
porters of the Association, and it gave him great gratification that he
was restored to health.
The CHAIRMAN gave the health of "The Visitors." He said they had
amongst them two distinguished members of that great profession of
medicine which was so closely associated with all works of charity, Mr.
Hy. Power and Mr. Bukston Browne. He had been puzzling his brains as
to which of the great professions, law or medicine, had been the greatest
benefit to mankind. Without law and order man would be very little better
than a savage, with no protection for home and property, and with no rights.
Civilisation, as we understand it, could not exist. He was sure, therefore,
that there was no greater blessing to any free nation than righteous law
rightly administered. Then, on the other hand, what did we not owe to
that great profession of medicine and to the great men who had devoted
their lives to it? What a splendid record was theirs of unwearied effort
and great result! If they took only the discoveries they had made during
the last century-there was that great discovery of anaesthetics, which had
saved so much suffering and so many lives. Then there was that other
discovery of antiseptic treatment, and, last, that strange discovery of those
rays which seemed to search out all hidden secrets of the frame, and enabled
surgeons to do what no one had thought possible. He for one thought that
if we were to place high in the ranks of fame those conquerors who had
brought destruction and death in their train, we ought to place as high in
rank those whose labours had given health to the nations. He knew no
nobler lot than that of the surgeon and the physician. They knew their
labours were heavy and their anxieties many. They had their daily reward
in pain and suffering relieved, in health restored, in comfort brought to some
troubled home, and he hoped they would believe that not only in this room,
but universally, that to the noble profession to which they belonged, and
all who laboured in it, unbounded gratitude and thanks were given.
Mr. HY. POWER, F.R.C.S., returned thanks.

Mr. H. MORTEN COTTON (chairman of the Board of Directors) proposed the health of "The Chairman." He said that Mr. Addison attained the highest honour in the profession last year when he became president of the Incorporatea Law Society. It was an exceptional year, and they had wanted a man to represent them, and they were most worthily represented by Mr. Addison. He had found time to devote himself to a charity which was of the greatest value to the profession-the Victorian Pension Fund. He (Mr. Morten Cotton) had been a little behind the scenes after the council had determined to hand the fund over to the Solicitors' Benevolent Association, and he would assure them that no one could tell the pains Mr. Addison had taken about it. The fund amounted to £8,585, which was a very handsome sum, and notwithstanding that it was raised last year, the funds of the association, which one would have imagined would have suffered, had not

done so, the amount collected in subscriptions in that year had been larger than it had been before. The secretary, Mr. Scott, who was a most able and excellent secretary and gave his heart and soul to the work of the association, came to him and thought they would get very little, and he (Mr. Morten Cotton) was extremely surprised at the amount collected to-night, and tondered his thanks to the generous donors. The trusts of the Victorian Pension Fund were for the profession generally without reference to any particular members. The Solicitors' Benevolent Fund was administered first to those who were its members, and afterwards for the general benefit of the profession. The funds were kept separate, and there was no difficulty whatever in their administration. But there was now the society which the Solicitors' Benevolent Association had for years been trying to get to amalgamate with them, but unfortunately there were difficulties in the way. That society was limited to the reliet of necessitous members of the profession in the metropolis and the vicinity. He hoped in time the amalgamation would be brought about, and the funds would be combined, and so be administered with one set of machinery. The cases which came before the directors grieved their hearts. They had invested the Victorian Pension Fund, and it provided an income of £240 a year. This had been divided into six pensions, two of £50 each, two of £25, and two of £20. The directors did all they could to select the most deserving cases, and this involved great trouble and labour. It was most distressing to see the cases that were brought before them.

The toast was drunk upstanding with musical honours and three cheers. The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the compliment, said that he could desire nothing more in his professional career than that he should so pass through it as to be thought to occupy a worthy place in it.

A selection of music was efficiently performed under the direction of Mr. Arthur Thompson, by Miss Bessie Grant, Master Willie Gammage, Mr. Walter Coward, Mr. Albert James, Mr. Arthur Thompson, Mr. Robert Hilton; accompanyist, Mr. J. Kift.

LAW ASSOCIATION.

A meeting of the directors was held at the hall of the Incorporated Law Society on Thursday, the 16th inst., Mr. Robert Josiah Pead in the chair. The other directors present were: Mr. C. Burt, Mr. S. J. Daw, Mr. L. Desborough, Mr. S. H. Hargrove, Mr. H. C. Nisbet, Mr. R. H. Peacock, Mr. Sidney Smith, Mr. J. Vallance, and Arthur Carpenter (secretary). A sum of £785 was distributed in grants of relief; two new members were admitted to the association; and other general business transacted.

OBITUARY.

The death is announced of Mr. STEPHEN DOWELL, formerly Assistant Solicitor to the Inland Revenue. He was the son of the Rev. Stephen Wilkinson Dowell, and was educated at Cheltenham College, Highgate School, and Corpus Christi College, Oxford, where, in the year 1854 he gained an honorary fourth class in law and history, and in the following year took his degree. After leaving Oxford he was articled to Mr. R. Bray, solicitor, of 99, Great Russell-street, and in June, 1863, was appointed Assistant Solicitor to the Board of Inland Revenue, a post he retained till August, 1896. Mr. Dowell was well known as the author of valuable works on the stamp laws and income and house taxes, and by his "History of Taxation and Taxes in England.”

GENERAL.

The honorary degree of LL.D. was conferred by the University of Cambridge on Wednesday on the Right Hon. Sir Nathaniel Lindley, Master of the Rolls.

It is stated that during the absence of Mr. Justice Wright on the Western Circuit, Mr. Justice Byrne will on Wednesdays, the 22nd and 29th inst., take any urgent company cases for him.

At the Bedford Quarter Sessions, on Tuesday, it was announced that Mr. J. T. Abdy, who had been Recorder of Bedford for twenty-eight years, has tendered his resignation.

The presentation to Mr. Justice Phillimore of the silver model of a

ship, subscribed for by the members of the bar practising in the Admiralty Court, in commemoration of his recent elevation to the bench was to take place at the judge's private residence at Eaton-place on Thursday last. During the hearing of a case in Mr. Justice Grantham's court on Monday, says the Times, neither of the counsel briefed for the defendant were in court, and his lordship, on being informed that one of them was addressing a jury in another court, permitted the solicitor to crossexamine the plaintiff. The Dublin correspondent of the Times says that the secretary of the Incorporated Law Society has been informed that the Government intends to abandon the clause in the Solicitors (Ireland) Bill which legalised the appearance at petty session courts of clerks as representing public departments in minor prosecutions. The concession is made in deference to the unanimous wish of the solicitors of Ireland.

The judicial business of the House of Lords was resumed on Tuesday. The present list, says the Times, consists of twenty cases, of which thirteen are English and seven are Scotch appeals, there being none from Ireland. There are no less than twelve cases awaiting judgment at the hands of the law lords, among them being the betting appeal of Powell v. Kempton Park Racecourse Co, Among those who have accepted the invitation of the treasurer (Master Lewis Coward) and the benchers of Gray's-inn to dine on Wednesday, the 22nd of June, are H.R.H. Prince Christian, the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, the Earl of Coventry, the Earl of Morley, and the Earl of Camperdown. H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught will dine with his brother benchers on the same evening.

The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council resumed their sittings on Tuesday. There are, says the Times, 12 Indian appeals for hearing-viz., from Bengal 5, Allahabad 3, Oude 2, and Lower Burma and Bombay 1 each. A list of Colonial appeals to be heard will be issued later on. There are also 9 judgments in Indian and Colonial cases to be delivered, in addition to their lordships' judgment on the special reference in relation to the scheme of the Charity Commissioners in regard to St. Paul's School, the arguments in which were heard in June, 1896.

During the hearing of a special jury case last week, Mr. Justice Grantham said that he was sorry to inconvenience the gentlemen of the jury and the learned counsel and others, but an application had just been made to him to take a holiday to-day because there was no court for him to sit in. However, he thought it more important that work should be done even if there was inconvenience, and he proposed to sit to-day in his own room to take special jury cases. He thought it his duty to do so, : and he hoped that it would make someone alter this enormous building, as the present state of things was a perfect scandal. He might add that on the previous day two judges, who would have formed a Divisional Court, were not sitting because there was no court for them.

Call-night during the present Trinity Term (the 22nd inst.) will, says the Westminster Gazette, be memorable for Lincoln's-inn, as, with its list of forty-four proposals, it once more leads the four Inns of Court in point of numbers-a position which has latterly been enjoyed by the Inner Temple. The two Temples (Inner and Middle) between them only muster fifty-seven, thirteen falling to Gray's-inn. The parentage of the candidates, which is screened in the dining-halls of the Inns, reveals all sorts and conditions of men. Only 12 per cent. of the entire number113-of those desirous of joining the charmed circle of gentlemen of the long robe are the sons of barristers, and one solicitor forsakes the one branch for the other.

At the rising of the court on Wednesday Mr. Justice Byrne, addressing ́the bar, said: Mr. Ward, the senior registrar, is sitting to-day for the last time preparatory to the retirement which he has so well earned, and I should not like him to go without thanking him for the courtesy and assistance which he has always afforded me, both at the bar and since I have been on the bench. I believe I am expressing the sentiments of the whole of the Chancery bar in wishing him happiness in his retirement. Mr. Warmington, Q.C., the senior Queen's Counsel present, said he should like to associate himself and his brethren with what his lordship had said. The bar, especially the juniors, stood in a peculiar position towards the registrar, and the junior bar had been saved much anxiety and trouble by Mr. Ward. He did not think any member of the bar had ever applied to the registrar without receiving the greatest kindness and assistance. He hoped Mr. Ward would live many years to enjoy his wellearned repose. Mr. N. Ward bowed his acknowledgments.

The following officers and standing committees have recently been appointed by the General Council of the Bar: Chairman-Mr. H. H. Cozens-Hardy, Q.C., M.P.; vice-chairman, Mr. Joseph Walton, Q.C.; Executive Committee-Mr. E. Tindal Atkinson, QC., Mr. William Pickford, Q.C., Mr. Vernon R. Smith, Q.C., Mr. William Graham, Mr. T. T. Methold, and Lord Robert Cecil; Professional Conduct Committee Mr. F. A. Bosanquet, Q.C., Mr. J. F. P. Rawlinson, Q.C., Mr. O. Leigh Clare, M.P., Mr. C. F. Gill, Mr. Yarborough Anderson, Mr. H. D. Bonsey, and Mr. R. F. Norton; Business and Procedure Committee-Mr. Montague Crackanthorpe, Q C., Mr. F. O. Crump, Q.C., Mr. G. Pitt Lewis, Q.C., Mr. C. Swinfen Eady, Q.C., Mr. English Harrison, Q.C., Mr. E. W. Garrett, and the Hon. Frank Russell; Court Buildings Committee-Mr. C. M. Warmington, Q.C., Mr. E. L. Levett, Q.C., Mr. H. Bargrave Deane, Q.C., Mr. J. E. H. Benn, Mr. T. R. Bridgwater, Mr. Lancelot Sanderson, Mr. Guy Stephenson.

In proposing the toast of " The Profession of the Law" at the Mansion House banquet on Wednesday, Viscount Esher said that this was the thirtieth year at which successively he had been present at this dinner, but this was the first time that he had been asked to meet her Majesty's judges. He had been asked to propoɛe The Profession of the Law," but he thought they had already heard enough about the law. But what law? Was it that of the House of Lords? Well, he often did not understand it. Was it that which was administered by Sir F. Jeune? Well,

that part of the law he detested. Was it the law of the Court of Appeal? Of that he was too modest to speak. He could, therefore, only assume the position of a sort of advocate of them all-solicitors and bar as well. The one feature of our system which he desired to preserve was the absolute independence of judges and counsel alike. That independence had recently been strikingly manifested, not in this country, but in one of the Queen's dependencies, by a glorious act of which the profession might reasonably be proud. In coupling the toast with the Attorney-General, he said there never was a better Attorney-General.

The fifteenth report of the Comptroller of Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks has been published. It states that the applications for patents in 1897 numbered 30,958, of which about 6,000 were for inventions connected with cycling. This number represented an increase of 765, or 2-5 per cent., as compared with an increase in the year 1896 of 5,131, or 20.5 per cent. The total number of specifications received in 1897 showed an increase of 1,862, or 4.9 per cent., upon those of 1896, and this was the normal rate of increase. When the Patents Act of 1883 first came into force, and the initial fees were reduced from £25 to £4, it was thought probable that the average value of the patents granted would be diminished in a corresponding degree, as trivial inventions, upon which formerly it had not been worth while to pay high fees, would in future be made the subject of patents. The accuracy of this presumption could now to some extent be tested, and it appeared that the percentage of sealed patents which ran for fourteen years had fallen from 6 to 4.5 per cent. Of foreign applications, the largest number came from Germany and the United States of America, which contributed 2,459 and 3,084, as against 2,172 and 2,725 respectively in 1896. Japan, from which no applications were received in 1896, sent five in 1897, the same number as in 1895; but China, from which nine were received in 1896, sent only three. The total number of applications for the registration of trademarks during the year (including 100 applications to the Cutlers' Company of Sheffield) was 10,624, as compared with 9,466 applications in the previous year. During the same period 3,695 trade-marks were advertised, and 3,358 trade-marks registered.
