Mar 1. Leaver and Maskell, Lincoln's inn fields [Gazette, Jan 27.] The Calcutta correspondent of the Times says that a recent meeting of the Indian Legislative Council was enlivened by a discussion of an interesting and somewhat acrimonious character. The Transfer of Property Bill, one of the new codes which Mr. Stokes is so anxious to pass into law during the few remaining weeks of his term of office, had reached its final stage, and he moved that it be passed. After several members had spoken in favour of the motion, Mr. Plowden in a long speech, argued that the Bill had not received sufficient publicity, and cited opinions adverse to its provisions expressed by Sir James Stephen, Sir Richard Garth, and Justice Cunningham. The Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal and Mr. Rivers Thompson also deprecated undue haste. Mr. Stokes replied with some warmth, but consented to a postponement for three weeks, which was eventually agreed to.

At a dinner given by the Clothworkers' Company on the 1st inst., the Master of the Rolls, responding for "The Bench and Bar," remarked that he was sorry to observe that one half the members of the bench, for whom he had but a few years since returned thanks in that hall, had left us for a different tribunal. Changes had been painfully rapid. Within the last twelve months six new judges had been appointed, and seeing that the total number of the judges of the superior courts was only twenty-eight, this was surely a remarkable addition to be made within so short a space of time as one year. The only consolation he could find was that, in considering the ages of those who had recently departed this life, it was to be noticed that the oldest was eighty-four years of age; the youngest seventy-four; the average being the respectable age of seventy-seven. As lawyers were fond of precedents, they might hope that the precedent was now well established, and that the next six would attain a similar age. Passing then to the question of the length of the legal terms, Sir George Jessel pointed out that it was quite an exception for judges to be appointed under the age of fifty. Men past sixty years of age -the average age of judges-were not generally considered to be in the bloom of youth, and only in the case of judges did the public seem to expect that there should be an exception to the rule. But the public seemed to be horrified to find that the gentlemen who had worked very hard to attain this position, and who worked very hard to keep it, actually enjoyed a vacation of seventeen and a half weeks during the year. Speaking personally, he might say that one great attraction for him in making a very great, indeed, an enormous pecuniary sacrifice when he accepted the position he now held, was that he should lessen, to some extent, the severe and continuous labour which it was his lot as a law officer of the Crown to undergo. His predecessor, who had worked harder than any preceding Master of the Rolls, had at the end of his term of office sat for twenty-four weeks in the year. In accepting that post, therefore, Sir George Jessel said he had not expected to sit for more than halt the year. But if a servant was engaged to work for half the year and his wages were calculated on that basis, it was not fair to make him work three fourths of the year. Since the passing of the Judicature Act, however, he had been sitting for over thirty-four weeks in the year, and his vacation of seventeen weeks was now threatened with diminution. Being one of those anxious to attain the respectable age of his predecessors, he might say that he did not think it possible profitably to get more work out of the judges. The public might make them sit longer, but they would get less work out of them. Responding to the toast of "The health of the Bench," he would venture to add that the best way to preserve their health was to give them sufficient time to recruit their strength.

LONDON, FEBRUARY 18, 1882. NO DATE has yet been fixed for the introduction of the Government Bankruptcy Bill, and it is, at present, impossible to say ment Bankruptcy Bill, and it is, at present, impossible to say when it will be brought in. Chancellor's Legal Procedure Committee. We comment elsewhere on some of the leading features of this document, and need only add here the remark that, although we cannot concur in all the recommendations, we can gladly testify to the care and ability shown by the committee. The report, taken in connection with the former action of the council, will be a standing proof of the expediency of referring all matters of exceptional importance to the consideration of the members at large, instead of keeping them within the privacy of the council chamber. The recommendations of the committee will be discussed at the meeting to be held on Weddays.nesday next, and it is to be hoped that members of the society will testify their appreciation of the services rendered by the committee by attending in considerable numbers; that they will be willing to deny themselves the luxury of long speeches. MR. JUSTICE KAY will not sit on Saturday, but will proceed with his own non-witness causes on Monday and subsequent AN ORDER for the re-transfer of all Mr. Justice CHITTY'S prepared with definite opinions on relevant subjects, and will be causes from Mr. Justice KAY is about to be issued. MR. JUSTICE CHITTY, having returned from circuit, will sit in the Rolls Court on Monday next at eleven o'clock, and will take non-witness causes. His lordship's petitions of this week will be taken on Tuesday. Non-witness causes will be taken on Wednesday and Thursday; motions on Friday, and petitions on Saturday; on each day, with the exception of Monday, at ten o'clock. IT WOULD APPEAR that the repeated discussions in this journal with reference to the condition of the Middlesex Registry are likely to lead to some practical result, the Attorney-General having introduced a Bill to make better provision for the office of the Middlesex Registry. The Bill is not yet in print, but it may be hoped that it will contain some provision for improving the index, than which, as Mr. OSBORNE MORGAN'S committee declared, "nothing can be more unsatisfactory." THE LETTER we print from a correspondent, complaining of the delays in the chambers of the judges of the Chancery Division, deserves the careful attention of the authorities. No one can deny that the chief clerks and their staffs are among the most efficient of the officials attached to the courts, but they are too few in number to cope with the work, and the result is (in some of the chambers) that even in the simplest cases it is impossible to obtain an appointment for an early date. Our correspondent tells us that in a simple administration action he applied for an appointment to proceed on inquiries, but could not obtain one earlier than seven weeks hence. This is a very serious state of things, not only for the client, but also for the solicitor, who is always blamed for delays which are really due to the inadequacy of the official staff. IN TWO CASES, which were in the list of the Court of Appeal for the 10th inst., but which had not been reached at the close of the sitting, applications were made, at the rising of the court, that they should not be in the paper for the following day, on the ground that there was no objection on either side, and that the leading counsel engaged would have to be employed elsewhere, in one case in the Court of Bankruptcy, in the other case in the House of Lords. The court refused both applications, the Master of the Rolls stating that their lordships had determined to lay down a definite rule in these matters, and that it must be understood that in future such applications would not be granted in any case. To act otherwise would lead to great confusion and inconvenience, and also to giving an advantage to particular counsel at the expense of others. Equal justice ought to be done to all. SINCE THE RETIREMENT of Vice-Chancellor MALINS there has arisen some danger of the public's failing to understand or appreciate aright the paternal jurisdiction exercised by the judges of the Chancery Division over wards of court, both male and female. Mr. Justice FRY'S solemn lecture, appropriately delivered on Valentine's Day, on the subject of marriages of wards, will, it may be hoped, recall to the recollection of lovers the penalties incurred by those who, without the permission of a judge, make declarations to wards of court. In the case of an unauthorized proposal to a female ward, the result varies from imprisonment of the proposer to a lecture to him by the judge, combined with a costly injunction to him, and perhaps to the friends and relations of the parties, and possibly also (for such orders have been known) to the clergyman of the parish, against communicating with by word or letter, or aiding, or abetting, or taking part in, the marriage of the ward. In the case of a male practically impossible to imprison, in the first instance, a young ward of court the procedure is not quite so stern. lady to whom the male ward has made unauthorized advances; and the course usually taken is to remit her, if she is an infant, to the care of her guardians, and if she has attained years of discretion, to grant an injunction against her having any communication with imprisoned. Over and above all this there is the possibility of all her unauthorized lover, for breach of which injunction she may be the tender communications between the parties being ordered (as was done in one instance) to be handed over to an unsympathetic Registrar of the Supreme Court, to be destroyed by fire in the harrowing the feelings of our readers by enlarging upon the terrific presence of the solicitors of both parties. We abstain from penalties which are incurred in the case of an actual unauthorized marriage of a ward of court. It is THE REFRACTORY JURY at Bristol, who refused to take their law from the judge, and desired to be furnished with a copy of the report of R. v. Negus (L. R. 2 C. C. 34), were probably unaware that they were guilty of a most unconstitutional usurpation, and a grave breach of their duty. If instead of remitting them with a mild lecture to the bosoms of their families, Lord COLERIDGE had detained them while he read the observations of one of his predecessors, they would probably have understood more clearly the heinous nature of their offence. "The fundamental definition of trial by jury," said Lord MANSFIELD in R. v. The Dean of St. Asaph (21 How's State Trials, 1039), "depends upon the universal maxim ad quæstionem juris non respondent juratores; ad quæstionem facti non respondent judices," and he added, "the constitution trusts that, under the WE PRINT this week the report of the Committee of the Incor-direction of a judge, they will not usurp a jurisdiction which is porated Law Society appointed to consider the report of the Lord not in their province.
