diction, it was arranged with the promoter that the clause in question should be struck out, and this has been done. cellor. Weights and Measures Bill.-A clause in this Bill, to which the Council took objection on the ground that it authorized inspectors to prosecute proceedings before a court of summary jurisdiction, has been withdrawn. Middlesex County Council Bill.-A clause in this Bill which appeared to the Council to authorize the conduct of proceedings by unqualified persons has been modified so as to remove the objections entertained. Land Charges Bill.-A Bill has been introduced by the Lord Chancellor, having for its object the substitution of a charging order for the present writ of elegit. The main object of the Bill is similar to that of the Bill introduced by the Lord Chancellor in 1896, of which the Council approved, subject to amendments which have been suggested to the Lord ChanLand Transfer Act, 1897.-The Land Transfer Bill of 1897 received the Royal Assent on the 6th of August last. It is stated in the annual report for 1897 that the maintenance of the clauses in the Land Transfer Bill then before Parliament providing for an experimental area, an experimental period, the concurrence of the county council, and the restriction upon unqualified persons practising in the Land Registry, was a fundamental condition of the society's support of the Bill. The clauses in question will be found in the Act. The position of the Council as regards the Bill was clearly defined while the Bill was under consideration. It was that whilst yielding to the strongly expressed opinion of many on both sides of the House, they remained of opinion that compulsory registration would be found unsatisfactory to landowners and a hindrance to business, and that they only consented to a trial to meet the wishes of the Government and having regard to the concessions made by the Lord Chancellor. A draft order in Council has recently been issued intended to provide, with respect to the County of London, that registration of title to land is to be compulsory on sale on and after September 1, 1898, in the parishes of Hampstead, St. Pancras, St. Marylebone, and St. George's, Hanoverequare. Other parishes and places will by the same order be brought within the compulsory area on the 1st of January, 1899, the 1st of October, 1899, the 1st of January 1900, and the 1st of July, 1900. Under the Act of 1897, general rules are to be made by the Lord Chancellor with the advice and assistance, among others, of a person to be chosen by the Council of the Incorporated Law Society. Mr. B. G. Lake was chosen by the Council. The draft rules were published under the Rules Publication Act, 1893, and were referred by the Council to a committee for consideration. Prints were sent to the provincial law societies, and the committee, in making their report, had the advantage of suggestions from several of the societies. The report of the committee, as adopted by the Council, has been sent to the Lord Chancellor, and copies have also been sent to the provincial law societies. The rules have not yet been signed. an Workmen's Compensation Act, 1897.-It is unnecessary in this report to discuss the general features of this very important Act. Its chief interest as regards the legal profession lay in the fact that a clause was inserted while the Bill was in Committee of the House of Commons, providing that in proceedings under the Act no party or other person should appear or be represented by counsel or solicitor except by leave of the court or arbitrator. This clause, read in connection with other clauses of the Bill, led to the inference that agents not being counsel or solicitors might appear or attend as of right, and be entitled to remuneration for their services. The Council, in conjunction with the General Council of the Bar, made strong representations on the subject of this clause, and it was rejected. The clause substituted for it provides that rules under the Act may make provision for the appearance in any arbitration under the Act of any party by some other person. The draft rules under the Act have now been issued, and provide that a party may appear (a) in person, or by a member of his family; (b) by a solicitor acting generally, but not retained as advocate; (c) by counsel; (d) by a person in the permanent and exclusive employment of the party: (e) by a director or secretary of a corporation or any person in its permanent and exclusive employment; (f) by leave of the judge or arbitrator, by any officer or member of any society of which a party is a member, or with which he is connected; or (g) by leave of the judge or arbitrator by any other person. The rules also provide that no person other than a solicitor who appears or acts on behalf of any party in any arbitration under the Act shall be entitled to have or recover any fee or reward for so appearing or acting, other than such travelling expenses and (in the case of a workman or a member of his family) allowance for time (if any) as shall be allowed by the judge or arbitrator; provided that nothing in these rules contained shall affect the right of counsel to appear or act in any arbitration, or the right of any solicitor to recover costs in respect of his employment of counsel to appear or act as aforesaid. At the request of the Lord Chancellor, suggestions were, with the help of the law socities and members of the society in Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Durham, furnished by the society last autumn with a view to the preparation of the rules. Subsequently further suggestions have been made for amendments in the rules, especially with reference to costs as between solicitor and client and reports by medical officers, on which points the Liverpool Law Society and the Nottingham Law Society have given much useful assistance. County Courts. In the annual report for 1897 it was stated that a special mixed committee (consisting of some members of the Council and numerous members of the society) had held many sittings, and had, among other things, drafted a report on county court matters generally, but that its completion had been deferred pending the more pressing consideration of the proposed new rules dealing with questions of immediate interest to county court practi tioners. Such new rules raised considerable discussion throughout the profession, especially in the provinces, the cardinal features being the narrowing down of the right of issuing process for service on a debtor outside the district of the issuing court, and calling upon the plaintiff for a compulsory deposit for defendant's costs. The committee in its first report on these rules protested strongly against both suggestions, and the rules were withdrawn. Fresh rules were then promulgated practically maintaining the restrictive regulations, but modifying the proposal as to deposit for costs, and casting upon the registrar of the court in the defendant's district the duty of ascertaining whether there was a primâ facie defence as a condition precedent to the ordering of security. The committee, in a supplementary report, repeated their protest, deprecating the exercise of any judicial function by the registrar of one court in a case belonging to another court. Both reports of the committee were adopted by the Council and forwarded to the Lord Chancellor, and it is understood that, while the authorities contend that there should be some additional restrictions on the issue of process for service out of the district, the demand for security for costs will be withdrawn, and with it the suggestion that the registrar of the debtor's district should interpose. The committee then proceeded to settle their general report, which the Council adopted and forwarded to the authorities. and asked for a revision of the regulations connected with the enforcement Such report, which protests against the heavy court fees now charged, of the Debtor's Act, recommends some considerable extension of county court jurisdiction. The committee have still under consideration a scale of costs, which may be recommended if a suitable opportunity arises. The Council are much indebted to this committee for their labours and assistance. with the General Council of the Bar on the subject of the enactment conTaxes Management Act, 1880.-The society has been in communication tained in section 57 of the Taxes Management Act, 1880, prohibiting any party to appeals before Commissioners of Taxes being represented by a barrister, solicitor, or person practising the law. With the view of obtain. ing information in support of the case for the repeal of the section, the Council of the society addressed a circular letter to the provincial law societies. Numerous replies were received, and they clearly indicated that not only was the injustice of the prohibition felt by the appellant, but that, in many cases, it was recognized by the commissioners. The information received from the provincial law societies, as well as other information in the possession of the society, was forwarded to Lord Edmond Fitzmaurice, and the amendment to the Finance Bill repealing section 57 (9) of the Taxes Management Act, 1880, and permitting the commissioners to hear counsel or solicitors, which he kindly consented to move, has been inserted in the Bill.

OBITUARY. The death is announced, on the 27th inst., of Mr. WILLIAM STURT, of 14, Ironmonger-lane, E.C., solicitor, in his 67th year. Mr. Sturt was admitted in 1865, and was a greatly esteemed member of the profession. APPOINTMENTS. Mr. EDMUND TREVOR LLOYD WILLIAMS, solicitor, of the firm of Newman, Paynter, Gould, & Williams, 1, Clement's-inn, has been elected a Director of the Law Fire Insurance Society, in the place of Mr. George Ernest Steward, deceased. was given accordingly; but Mr. Russell asked the learned judge to deprive the plaintiff of his costs, as the defendants had paid into court with their plea of apology the sum of £50, and the plaintiff could have taken such sum out in satisfaction of his claim. During the hearing of the case Mr. Russell admitted that the apology was insufficient, and Mr. Bradbury, for the plaintiff, now contended that he could not be deprived of his costs, as he never had an opportunity of taking the £50 without accepting the apology. His lordship took time to consider, and subsequently decided the point in favour of the plaintiff. He referred to Lord Campbell's Act, 1843 (6 & 7 Vict. c. 96), and to 8 & 9 Vict. c. 75, s. 2, which enacted that it should not be competent to a defendant, whether in England or Ireland, to file any such plea as is allowed by the Act of 1843 without making a payment into court by way of amends" as provided by the said Act.' In 1879 an Act called the Civil Procedure Acts Repeal Act, 1879, repealed the last-mentioned words in the last-mentioned Act, "as provided by the said Act," and the same Act of 1879 repealed so much of the first-mentioned Act (1843) as related to the payment of money into court. The defence allowed by the 2nd section of the 1843 Act, continued his lordship, cannot be filed without at the same time making a payment into court by way of amends, but there is no existing provision of the Legislature stating whether the payment into court is to be subject to any rules or regulations. The only provisions that I know of that can be held to apply are the provisions of order 22 of the rules of the Supreme Court. But although it seems that that order may perhaps be held to apply to a case where liability is admitted and payment into court is the only defence, yet it seems to be clear on the authority of Oxley v. Wilkes (1898, 2 Q.B. 56) that when money is paid into court as part of the defence under the Libel Act, 1843, being made under order 22. The defendants have raised among other defences, and as an alternative defence, a plea founded upon the provisions of the Libel Act of 1843. Pleaded in such form the payment into court afforded no defence in itself; it was only a necessary part of a special defence in the material parts of which the defendants have failed, for they offer no evidence of an apology. I do not think that I ought to allow the plea on which the defendants have failed to influence my decision on the question of costs. The plaintiff never had an opportunity of taking the money out of court without confessing a plea which contained averments which were not true. The defence must, therefore, be treated as one that has altogether failed. Mr. HENRY CHARLES RICHARDS, Q.C., M.P., has been elected a bencher the defendants cannot avail themselves of the payment into court as of the Honourable Society of Gray's Inn.

One morning he came to court some ten minutes before his time. Entering the room in which the jurymen usually await the judge, he called upon one of the individuals in the room, and told him to take the cath. "But I should like, first of all, to say that I- began the man. "First of all, you will please be silent, sir, and then you will take the oath. Do you understand?" The judge's tone was impressive, his mien severe, and the individual addressed, seeing that there was nothing for it, resigned himself to the inevitable and took the oath. next man was told by the judge to take the book and swear. Wishing to get a word before it was too late, the distressed citizen said: "You must not ask me to swear, judge, because I am convinced that Ah, I see," replied his honour, tauntingly, persuaded that he was dealing with an atheist in disguise.
