loss to the debtor's estate, was a consequence of the advice obtained. The court also, I think, has a right to know, inasmuch as the debtor's action, following that advice, may have a material bearing upon the consideration of the debtor's discharge. I base my opinion, moreover, upon the ground that, as the creditor's estate has depreciated to some extent, however small, by the payment for that advice, they have a direct interest in knowing how that pecuniary outlay was applied, and what was obtained in return for it. Whatever position the client occupies with respect to this particular question the soliciter cannot claim a higher or a better. His privilege is co-extensive only with the client's own privilege. There is very little authority in the books upon this point, but what is found appears to bear out the contention that in bankruptcy no objection can be taken to any question having reference to the disclosure of the bankrupt's property or his dealings therewith; in other words, that bankruptcy destroys the privilege of professional communications. So long ago as the year 1818 Mr. Christian (at that time considered an authority on bankruptcy law) in his treatise on the earlier Bankruptcy Act, and referring to the section 5 in Geo. II. c. 30, which was almost identical with the present section, says, "It is difficult to see what knowledge an attorney can acquire professionally from a bankrupt which he would not be compellable to disclose." And then he goes on to say, "If a trader consulted him upon the consequences of an act of bankruptcy still he would be compellable, in my opinion, to disclose all he knew respecting the act committed," including, as I read the passage, the advice given. This latter part of Mr. Christian's opinion would not be sound, in view of Mr. Justice Cave's decision in Re Arnott, the reference to which is given at the head of this paper. Suffice it to say, that all attempts which have been made by the solicitor to set up privilege against any examination under the section, have invariably failed. The only reported cases, so far as I have been able to discover them, where the solicitor's advice has been held to be privileged, have been those in which the bankrupt has sought the advice and assistance after the commencement of the bankruptcy and in respect of the pending bankruptcy proceedings against him. Take the case of Re Arnott (ubi supra). There the address of the bankrupt was confined to the solicitor (as he swore) after the act of bankruptcy had been committed, and for the express purpose of being advised by him in the bankruptcy proceedings. In that case Mr. Justive Cave followed the principle laid down by Lord Justice James in Re Cathcart (L.R. 5 Ch. App. 703). Said the Lord Justice, in that case, "What a solicitor is privileged from disclosing is that which is communicated to him sub sigillo confessionis, that is to say, some fact which the client communicates to the solicitor for the purpose of obtaining the solicitor's professional advice and assistance." The client's address, which it was sought to obtain in Re Cathcart, and which was communicated to the solicitor before the bankruptcy proceedings, was held not to be privileged. The conclusions which I would therefore draw from these cases and from the foregoing arguments are-(1) That professional communications made or existing at and before the commencement of the client's bankruptcy, whether oral or documentary, are not privileged, and that both solicitor and client may be compelled in the bankruptcy proceedings to disclose them. (2) That professional communications made or passing after the commencement of the bankruptcy for the purpose of the client obtaining professional advice and assistance in those proceedings are privileged from discovery, either through client or solicitor. The point as to disclosure of actual advice given still remains open for some courageous professional brother to have decided by the High Court, if he should at any time be unfortunately in the position in which he would be compelled to raise it. The whole procedure, however, to my mind, operates as a hardship upon solicitors. It strikes at the very root of all those professional confidences which our courts have for generations upheld as sacred, and which our judges have repeatedly declared should not be lightly violated or frittered away. I can well believe that if such a position is fully understood by a client he will not venture to confide the whole of his case to his professional adviser, and will only risk giving such version of the facts as he thinks may not be used against him in the event of his being overtaken by misfortune. To an actual bankrupt it will be an additional terror when he realises that all communications of whatever nature made by him to his solicitor before his bankruptcy, under what he supposed to be the seal of professional secrecy and confidence, are thus liable to disclosure and publicity. Votes of thanks were passed to the Mayor and Corporation, to the Swansea and Neath Incorporated Law Society, the readers of papers and others who had assisted in making the meeting a success. ENTERTAINMENTS. In the evening the members visited the Grand Theatre at the invitation of the Swansea and Neath Society, where "The Little Minister" was performed. On Thursday there were two alternative excursions. The first of these was to Margam Abbey, on the east side of Swansea Bay, on the invitation of Miss Talbot, who provided luncheon and tea. The other was to Pennard and the Gower Coast, where luncheon was provided by the Swansea and Neath Society; the society also lunched the members on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Albert Hall. The Mumbles and Langland Bay and other places of interest were also visited. SOLICITORS' BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION. The annual meeting of the Solicitors' Benevolent Association was held on Thursday at the Royal Institution of South Wales, Swansea, Mr. JOHN HUNTER (London) taking the chair. The report stated that the association had now 3,428 members enrolled, of whom 1,127 are life and 2,301 annual subscribers; 58 of the life members are also contributors of annual subscriptions, ranging from one to five guineas. The benefits of the association have been extensively en joyed. Nearly every county in England and Wales was represented on the list of cases relieved, whilst at present many large towns and centres were almost unrepresented on the roll of subscribers. The total capital now consisted of £51,156 103. 9d. stock, in addition to the sum £5,368 18s. 6d. stock pertaining to the Reardon Bequest. During the year, 220 grants had been made from the funds, amounting to £4,500. Of this sum 11 members and 39 members' families received £2,065, while 32 nonmembers and 138 non-members' families received £2,435. The relief granted largely exceeded that of any previous year, and was more than the amount of reliable income from annual subscriptions and dividends, but the deficiency was provided for by donations and other special gifts. The Victoria Pension Fund, collected by the Incorporated Law Society in commemoration of the completion of the 60th year of the reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, amounted to £8,585 193. 7d., and was paid to the trustees of this association to be held upon the trusts of a deed dated the 30th of December, 1897. The fund had been duly invested. Seven pensions had been created from the estimated interest of the fund-viz. : three of £50 each, two of £25 each, and two of £20 each. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the directors might fairly congratulate themselves upon the increasing prosperity of the association. Referring to the sums granted in relief, he said that the grants to members and their families during the year were at the rate of £40 a head, and to non-members and their families less than £15 a head, so that, although the gross amount granted to non-members was the larger, the individual amount was smaller. The applications from members were fewer than from non-members. The report was adopted and Mr. R. Pennington and Mr. J. R. B. Gregory were elected trustees in the place of the late Mr. N. T. Lawrence and Mr. F. H. Janson, who had resigned. LEGAL NEWS. OBITUARY. The death is announced, on the 3rd inst., of Mr. DANIEL WALTER ROLT, one of the Chancery registrars, at the age of fifty-two years. Mr. Rolt was the son of the late Mr. Daniel Brunsdon Rolt, and, we believe, a relative of the late Lord Justice Rolt. He entered the Chancery registrar's office some thirty years ago, being promoted to the post of registrar about eight or ten years ago. Mr. Rolt performed his duties at the Royal Courts up to the commencement of the present Long Vacation, but he had been suffering for some considerable time from a painful affection, to which his death is, no doubt, due. A debtor, says the Globe, questioned as to when he was born, gave not only the date but the hour and minute. The Official Receiver asked him who told him that. "My mother," said the debtor. "Then it is only hearsay?" "Yes," answered the debtor, "but I was there at the time." The court laughed, for such an instance of memory-of an old, old joke— is wonderful in a debtor. Few people, says the Westminster Gazette, realize how the ranks of the clergy are recruited from other professions. There has just passed away the Rev. F. J. Kelly, M.A., LL.B., vicar of Farnborough, Kent, who in early life was a hard-working and successful London solicitor, but in 1880 he was ordained by the present Archbishop of York to a Staffordshire curacy, and in that county and in Kent has been an active parish priest. He was a capital preacher, a good visitor, a man of broad sympathies, an active member of the Board of Guardians, and brought his business capacities to the Church's service. He placed in Farnborough Church a new organ and a restored chancel, and gave the parish a missionroom and an addition to the churchyard. Stevenson, the novelist, says the St. James's Gazette, in a lawyer's office was certainly not a success. He would arrive in the morning looking very unprofessional in his walking kit, and was only trusted with copying work, because, as Mr. Edwards, the surviving partner of the firm, says, he had no experience of drafting, and "may have found the somewhat dry intricacies of conveyancing, which are for the most part government by hard and fast rules of law, foreign to his marvellous imagination." Nor was his mere copying at all trustworthy, for Mr. Edwards found five errors on two short pages, although the handwriting was neat, round, and clear. Thomas Stevenson, the engineer, meant the law to be refuge for Louis when authorship failed. It was well for Stevenson as well as for any possible client that he never needed to have recourse to that refuge. The International Conference on Maritime Law has been held at Antwerp. The English delegates present were Mr. Carver, Q.C., Mr. names and addresses, and the particulars of their debts or claims, to Robert Vickers on or before Nov 30, to send their names and addresses, and the particulars of their debts or claims, to Edgar Alfred Tyler, 1, Queen Victoria-st. Clulow, Gracechurchst, solor to the liquidator Douglas Owen, Mr. T. R. Miller, and Mr. John Glover. Twelve questions were proposed for discussion, the first ten having regard to collisions, and the last two affecting the subject of shipowners' liability. The debates, says the Times correspondent, served to bring out clearly how our English system differs from that of nearly all the Continental nations, as it provides for the owner being liable to the extent of £8 per ton for the ship BRITISH WESTRALIAN MINES AND SHARE CORPORATION, LIMITED-Creditors are required, and £15 per ton where life is lost, whatever may be the value of the ship itself. It gives aggrieved persons the right to seize the ship in satisfaction of claims, or the shipowner is liable to be sued personally for the damages, as assessed in a court of law. Most of the Continental nations act on a different system; the shipowner is not personally liable, and the extent of his liability is in all cases limited to the value of the ship which is in the wrong, together with her freight. After an interesting discussion it was settled that the matter should stand over for another year, receiving in the meantime the careful attention of the International Maritime Committee. MARRIAGE.

WEST, LL.D., 19, Southampton-buildings, Chancery-lane, W.C.-Criminal and Magisterial Law; Probate, Divorce, and Admiralty; and Ecclesiastical Law. Stephen's Commentaries. CLASSE LASSES for Final Students are held at the Hall of the Society on four afternoons each week during the following periods: August to January; January to June. These periods afford five months' class preparation, and students are a vised to subscribe for a full course otherwise the work must necessarily be hurried. Students may join the classes either before or after the Intermediate Examination without subscribing to the course of Postal instruction, but it is recommended that they should avail themselves of both modes of instruction. Subscribers to either Class or Postal instruction have the opportunity of consulting the Tutors upon the work of the course in personal interview or by letter at any time. To those Clerks who are articled at a distance from large towns systematic instruction with advice and help is given, and a course of preparation through the post has been devised, and is found to be useful where personal tuition is impracticable. afforded by fortnightly papers, and embraces the following subjects: Equity, Conveyancing, Common Law, Bankruptcy, Criminal and Magisterial Law, Probate, Divorce, Admiralty, and Ecclesiastical Law. These papers both before and after the Intermediate Examinations are varied each year, so that students who may subscribe for more than one year's tuition receive additional assistance. These courses may be commenced at any time, but the Tutors recommend that the Intermediate course should be commenced at an early stage of the Articles, and the Final course soon after the Intermediate Examination has been passed. The results obtained have been satisfactory. Many pupils have obtained honours, and the percentage of passes is a high one, exceeding 85 per cent. of between three and four hundred pupils who last presented themselves for examination. It has happened on several occasions that all Class pupils have been successful, and the same has occurred in the case of subscribers to the Correspondence Courses. TERMS. FINAL. after previous Postal Instruction... Class instruction is also provided on the selected portions of Stephen's Class Instruction, 5 months...
