ment, and W., while attending the second meeting of creditors, was arrested at the suit of G.

The proceeding under the petition having resulted in the registration of a resolution for composition, W. applied for his release. Held, that G. was in the position of a secured creditor, and that the application must be refused.

This was an application by Charles Richard Watkins for an order for his release from her Majesty's prison at Holloway.

On the 7th of December last, the debtor (a non-trader) filed a petition for liquidation by arrangement or composition with his creditors, and a first meeting was duly held on the 23rd of December, when the creditors passed a resolution accepting a composition of two shillings in the pound.

The resolution was filed, and at the second meeting, held on the 6th of January, it was unanimously confirmed by the creditors, and on the 9th of January the resolution was registered. Charles Thomas Green, one of the creditors, was inserted in the list presented at the meetings, and the usual

notices were sent to him.

Green had, previously to the liquidation petition, instituted proceedings in the City of London Court for the recovery of the debt due to him, and on the 20th of December obtained an order for payment of £4 183. 9d., the amount actually due, or, in default, that the debtor should be committed to Holloway Gaol. On the 6th of January the debtor was arrested under the order, while attending the second meeting of creditors, and he is now in Holloway P. W. Nazer (solicitor), in support of the application.-The resolution having been registered, the detaining creditor is bound by the composition, and can no longer hold the debtor in custody.

Gaol.

Mr. REGISTRAR MURRAY.-Why was not an injunction granted to restrain proceedings in the action or under the order?

Nazer. The estate was a small one, and an injunction could not have been obtained without the appointment of a receiver, and this would have caused unnecessary expense. The detaining creditor had no right to take any step in the action after the presentation of the petition, and he now seeks to obtain a preference over the other creditors. Brough, for the detaining creditor.-In the absence of any injunction the detaining creditor had a right to seek to enforce payment of his debt, and he acquired a security before the registration of the resolution. A secured creditor who becomes such at any time before the resolution for composition is registered, and without notice of any restraining order, is not affected by the resolution, and may proceed to enforce his security so long as he has raised no equity against himself: Ex parte Jones, 23 W. R. 886, L. R. 10 Ch. 663; Ex parte McLaren, Re McColla, 29 W. R. 389, L. R. 16 Ch. D. 534. Until registration has taken place, the resolution for composition is of no validity whatever.

Nazer, in reply. The cases cited are distinguishable. Here the detaining creditor seeks a remedy against the person of the debtor, and not against his property. Mr. REGISTRAR MURRAY said he did not think that made any difference, for the detaining creditor was a secured creditor. Ex parte Jones showed that where, in a case of composition, a creditor obtained a judgment, and levied an execution before the first meeting, he became a secured creditor, and, by Ex parte McLaren, the time was extended until registration. It appeared that Mr. Commissioner Kerr, in the exercise of his judicial functions, and having regard to the man's means, made an order for payment of the debt due to the creditor, and there was no injunction to restrain proceedings in the action. If a receiver had been appointed, an injunction might have been granted, but the detaining creditor was now, in point of fact, a secured creditor, and the present application must be refused.

SOLICITORS' CASES.

HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE.-QUEEN'S BENCH DIVISION.
(Sittings in Banc, before FIELD, J., and HUDDLESTON, B.)
January 12.-Ex parte Barrow.

Bompas, Q.C., appeared in support of the application.
W. Murray appeared for the Incorporated Law Society; and
Raymond, for Mr. Sears.

This was a petition referred by the Master of the Rolls to this court to restore the applicant, Mr. Barrow, a solicitor, to the rolls of court. It appeared that Mr. Barrow had been admitted in 1843, and continued to practise until 1874, when a motion was made in the Court of Common Pleas to strike him off the roll on behalf of Mr. Charles Sears, a client, on the ground that he had misappropriated moneys amounting to sume £80 odd. Mr. Sears was indebted to Mr. Barrow in the sum of £30 or £40 for costs of defending certain actions, but Mr. Barrow did not claim them, not having taken out a certificate. This rule was made absolate, the applicant stating that he was too poor to employ counsel to show cause against it. Mr. Barrow was fined £50 for practising without a certificate, and sent to prison for six weeks in default of payment, and his furniture was sold under a bill of sale. Since then the applicant had been employed ag 8 solicitor's clerk, and had made full reparation to Mr. Sears, who supported the present application. An affidavit in support was read by Mr. Forster, a solicitor in whose service Mr. Barrow now is, which stated that the applicant had been for upwards of five years managing clerk to Mr. J. H. Waring, who was Mr. Forster's predecessor, as solicitor to a trade protection society. Mr. Forster was willing to take Mr. Barrow into partnership as joint solicitors to this society, as he had given much satisfaction to his clients. Mr. Bompas referred to several cases where a solicitor

who had been struck off the roll had been allowed to return to practice after an interval of some years on satisfactory affidavits from solicitors and others as to his character and conduct in the interval.

FIELD, J., pointed out that there was no affidavit here in support except from the gentleman who wished to take the applicant into partnership. Therə was no affidavit from Mr. Waring, and no information as to the grounds the Court of Common Pleas acted upon striking the applicant off the roll. Mr. Burrow had better renew his application on better materials if he could obtain them. There would be no order on this motion, HUDDLESTON, B., concurred.-Times.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.-WINCHESTER, Jan. 18.
(Before BowEN, J.)

William Henry Newman, aged seventy-seven, a solicitor, of Southampton, of the sum of £14,000. was charged with having defrauded the trustees of the late Thomas Dawkins

Bullen prosecuted; the

Hon. Bernard Coleridge defended.

The defendant, who bore a high character, was the solicitor of the late Mr. his will called on Newman with regard to the securities in which the Dawkins. On the death of the latter, the trustees who were appointed under estate of the deceased was invested. Newman gave them a list of mortgages showing investments to the amount of £17,140. Subsequently, the two Newman and requested him to call in all the money except £4,000, and to trustees, not feeling it safe to have so large a sum out on mortgage, saw invest the proceeds in consols. He remonstrated at this, pointing out that the change of investment would cause a serious diminution of income, but, as the trustees persisted, he drew up notices, which confessed that, with some comparatively small exceptions, the mortgages they signed. On their subsequently calling about the money, Newman were non-existent, or long paid off, and he had not got the money. offered to pay back the principal at the rate of £1,000 a year, and to pay a further annual sum of £600 by way of interest, but this the trustees declined to accept, saying that there was no security that he could pay such amounts. He was now charged under 24 & 25 Vict. c. 96, s. 76, which enacts that "whosoever, being a banker, merchant, broker, attorney, or agent, and being intrusted, either solely or jointly with any other person, with the property of any other person for safe oustedy, shall, with intent to defraud, sell, negotiate, transfer, pledge, or in any manner convert or appropriate the same or any part thereof to or for his own use or benefit, or the use or benefit of any person other than the person by whom he was so intrusted, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor."

He

Coleridge, at the close of the case for the prosecution, submitted that there was no case, as it had been decided in Reg. v. Cooper (L. R. 4 C. C. R. 123) that the intrusting a solicitor with money to invest on mortgage was not intrusting such money for safe custody within the terms of the section. The prisoner had been indicted under that section and not under section 75, which applied to cases such as the present, because section 75 required that the person intrusted with money to invest should have been directed in writing how to invest the money, and there had been no such direction bere. Bullen, in reply, cited the case of Reg. v. Fullager (41 L. T. N. 8. 448), in which, under somewhat similar circumstances, a conviction had been affirmed, but Coleridge, in reply, pointed out that in that case there had been express directious to the solicitor to retain money, the proceeds of a mortgage, in safe custody while the client made up her mind how to re-invest it; more ›ver, the case of Reg v. Cooper was not referred to, showing that the questions were different.

BOWEN, J., said that he should reserve the point for the Court of Criminal Appeal, and as the learned counsel decided not to address the jury, he directed them that, for the purposes of the day, they must take it from him that if Newman received money of the deceased on the terms that he was to take care of it himself, or to invest it for him and keep it safe until that was done, and if he converted it to his own use, he would be guilty.

The jury found the defendant guilty, and the learned judge deferred sentence, declining to accept bail, Newman had been in custody up to the trial, the magistrates having fixed his bail at £10,000, which he was unable to find.-Times.

OBITUARY.

SIR RICHARD MALINS.

The Right Hon. Sir Richard Malins, knight, who was for many years a Vice-Chancellor, died at his residence in Lowndes-square on the 15th inst., in his seventy-sixth year. Sir R. Malins was the third son of Mr. William Malins, of Ailstone, Warwickshire, his mother having been a daughter of Mr. Thomas Hunter, of Pershore, and he was born at Evesham in 1806. He was educated at a private school, and proceeded thence to Caius College, Cambridge, where he graduated as a junior optime in 1827. He was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1830, but afterwards migrated to Lincolu's-inn. After devoting himself in the first instance to conveyancing, he gradually obtained a good junior practice in equity, and in 1849 he received a silk gown from Lord Cottenbam. He slected the court of Vice-Chancellors Parker and Stuart, the leadership of which he eventually shared with the present Vice-Chancellor Bacon, and for several years he enjoyed a very large practice. In 1852 he was elected M.P. for the borough of Wallingford in the Conservative interest, and he was re-elected at the general elections of 1857 and 1859; but in 1865 he was defeated by the late Sir Charles Dilke. He was a very frequent

speaker in the House of Commons, and he may be remembered as having united with Mr. Gladstone and others in an obstinate opposition to the Divorce Bill of 1857. In October, 1866, on the resignation of the late Sir R. T. Kindersley, he was appointed a Vice-Chancellor, and shortly afterwards received the honour of knighthood. He held his seat on the bench for nearly fifteen years. Among the most important cases decided by him were Erlanger v. New Sombrero Phosphate Company, Hayman v. Trustees of Rugby School, and the proceedings against the directors of Overend, Gurney, & Co. Sir R. Malins was a man of kind and amiable disposition, and was generally popular with the bar. His strength had for some years been failing. About three years ago he was thrown from his horse, when he sustained injuries which incapacitated him for several months from his judicial duties and rendered him permanently lame. In the spring of last year he had an attack of paralysis, and shortly afterwards resigned his seat on the bench. His death was hastened by the shock occasioned to him by the death, about a fortnight previously, of Lady Malins, who was the eldest daughter of the Rev. Arthur Farwell, rector of St. Martin's, Cornwall. Sir R. Malins was a bencher of Lincoln's-inn, and was treasurer of that society in 1870. He was sworn in as a Privy Councillor upon his retirement from the bench. He leaves no family.

MR. CHARLES HENRY TURNER.

Mr. Charles Henry Turner, solicitor, formerly of Exeter, died at his residence, Highcliffe House, Dawlish, on the 7th inst., at the age of eighty-two. Mr. Turner was born in 1799, and was admitted a solicitor about the year 1823, and had practised for over fifty years at Exeter, where he had a large private practice. On the passing of the Probate Act, 1857, he was appointed registrar of the district probate registry at Exeter, and he held that office until his death, although the state of his health compelled him to relinquish bis private practice about five years ago. Mr. Turner had been for several years a magistrate for the city of Exeter, and soon after his retirement he was made a magistrate for Devonshire. He had been married three times, but he leaves no family. He was buried at Dawlish on the 12th inst.

Such warrant should only be valid for seven days from its date unless before the expiration of that time proceedings for an inquisition had been duly com. menced. It should be obligatory on the person obtaining such a warrant to take such proceedings within the week, and his failure to do so, or to duly prosecute them, when commenced, up to report, should be conclusive evidence against him in any action for false imprisonment which the alleged lunatic might be advised to bring. These provisions, if thoroughly carried out, would, he thought, be sufficient to secure at least as high a degree of probability that no sane man was kept under detention as a lunatic as there was now that no innocent man was condemned to penal servitude as a criminal. A long discussion ensued, in the course of which Dr. GRANVILLE defended the medical profession against the charge of malpractices which were sometimes imputed to them in connection with the granting of certificates of insanity, and said that in all his experience of twenty years he knew of no case in which a charge of malpractice against a medical practitioner had been borne out by facts.

Dr. Wood spoke in the same direction, and strongly objected against asylums being referred to as places of incarceration, maintaining that they were happy homes in which the patients found the protection and the treatment they required, and such as they could obtain nowhere else. He pointed out that as long as there were lunatics there must be places for their treatment, and it was therefore necessary for their own sake and that of the public that their friends should have the power of calling upon the assistance in such cases of the properly constituted authority.

Dr. H. HICKS supported this view.

Mrs. Lowe urged the propriety of lunacy commissioners residing in the district they supervised, so that there might be a proper local inspection, and that each commissioner should be held responsible for what took place in his own district. Mr. BLACKWELL was in favour of the substitution of public for private asylums, and

Mr. MOSELEY also urged the necessity for an amendment of the law. Mr. MILLER having replied, was accorded a hearty vote of thanks for his paper, and the proceedings terminated.

SOLICITORS' BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION.

LAW STUDENTS' JOURNAL.

COUNCIL OF LEGAL EDUCATION. DECEMBER EXAMINATION, 1881,

Lincoln's-inn Hall, December 20 and 21, 1881.

The usual monthly meeting of the board of directors of this association
was held at the Law Institution, Chancery-lane, London, on Wednesday,
January 11, the following directors being present:-Mr. P. Rickman, in the On the subjects of the lectures of the professors of the Inns of Court, held at
chair; Mr. Sankey (Canterbury), deputy-chairman; Messrs. Asker (Nor-
wich), Brook, Hedger, Janson, Pennington, Roscoe, Rose, Smith, Styan,
Walters, and Woolbert; Mr. Eiffe (secretary). A sum of £200 was distri-
buted in grants of relief to a necessitous solicitor and the necessitous
widows and families of ten deceased solicitors; five gentlemen were
admitted members of the association, and other general business transacted.

ASSOCIATION FOR PROMOTION OF LAW REFORM.
AMENDMENT OF THE LUNACY LAWS.

A meeting of the members of this association was held on Monday evening, at which Mr. A. E. Miller, Q. C., LL.D., one of the Railway Commissioners, read a paper in favour of an amendment of the lunacy laws. Mr. DODDS, M.P., who presided, said that the fact that the lunacy laws required amendment was evident from the circumstance that, during last session of Parliament, two Bills were introduced proposing to deal with them, and that others have been actually prepared and would have been introduced had there been any chance of their becoming law.

The Council of Legal Education have awarded the following prizes to the undermentioned students:-Roman law, jurisprudence and private international law-T. Bateman Napier, of the Inner Temple, a prize of £50; Cambhumpati Akilandaiya, of the Inner Temple, a prize of £15; and Stevenson Stewart Moore, of the Middle Temple, a prize of £10. Common law-George Manchester Cohen, of the Middle Temple, a prize of £50; Mancherji Dadabhai Dadysett, of the Middle Temple, a prize of £25; and Richard Walter Kittle, of Lincoln's-inn, and William A. G. Woods (Aeq.), of the Middle Temple, prizes of £12 respectively. Real and personal property law-John Lenton Pulling, of Gray's-inn, a prize of £50; and Frederic Mackenzie Maxwell, of Lincoln's-inn, a prize of £25. Equity-Reginald Winslow, of Lincoln's-inn, a prize of £25; and William Baxter, of the Inner Temple, and Edward Clayton, of Gray's-inn (Aeq.), of Gray's-inn, prizes of £12 10s. respectively. The council have also awarded to the student who obtained the greatest aggregate number of marks in the subjects of the lectures given by two of the professors-viz., in equity, and real and personal property law-Henry Terrell, of the Middle Temple, a prize of £70.

Mr. MILLER, in the course of his paper, said that he was satisfied that, if public attention were once properly directed to the subject, it would at once be seen that the law at present governing our treatment of lunatics offended more against the fundamental principles of personal liberty than did any other part of our judicial system. If it could only be brought home to the public at large that there was no man or woman in England who was not liable to be incarcerated for life without notice either to himself or anyone else, and without any power of securing an investigation of his case, if only anyone be sufficiently interested in getting him out of the way to make it worth his while to secure the services of two medical practitioners, and to pay for the confederacy of a keeper of a so-called private asylum, the attention it deserved would speedily be given to the subject. It was the sane and not the insane he was concerned about, and it was to guard the liberty of the sane from unjust incarceration that the present law required amendment. With that view he proposed that no inquiry into the sanity of an alleged lunatic, whether by a master in lunacy or otherwise, should be held in private; that, in order to authorize the detention of anyone as a lunatic, such inquiry ought to be public, to proceed exclusively upon sworn evidence, given by witnesses produced for cross-examination, and ought to be conducted by a competent judicial officer, assisted either by a jury or by sworn medical assessors, at the option of the alleged lunatic, but in no case acting upon his own judgment merely. Except where the inquiry had been ordered by the Lunacy Commissioners, its cost ought to be borne in the first instance by the person instituting the same, but he should be recouped out of the lunatic's property (if any) whenever the case was satisfactorily established. He further proposed that no lunatic should be liable to be forcibly detained in any asylum or other place whatever until his lunacy had been established by inquiry, except under a warrant from a magistrate which should only be grantable upon sworn depositions showing that the depoennt had reason to fear that the lunatic, if left at large, would be dangerous either to himself or some other persons.
