Manchester or any surrounding town) of the party applying under this section for probate, in the absence of the party, but will not be received from any law stationer or other agent. The district registry will receive and send papers by post from and to a solicitor who has no place of business at Manchester. We apprehend that a solicitor, when instructed, is entitled to make and charge against the estate a reasonable sum for instructions, preparing the notice, and for attendances at the registry; such sum, with the fees and stamp duty when payable, being, of course, less than the sum payable upon taxation to a solicitor who prepared the papers in the usual way. As no practice has yet been established nor cases decided to guide us upon the last-mentioned point, we should mention that we base our views upon the fact that the resort to the Probate Court or Inland Revenue under this section is merely optional, and not compulsory; and that, as the principal registry has sanctioned the acceptance from solicitors of the prescribed notice, it must be assumed that the solicitor is entitled to reasonable remuneration for his services, especially as the estate is benefited by being charged with a less sum than might have been charged had the ordinary practice been adopted. In our opinion it is desirable that some moderate sum should be suggested by the Manchester Law Society to the practitioners in Manchester and the vicinity as a reasonable and proper remuneration for services in such a case. We beg to suggest that for attendances upon the executor, perusing and considering the will, obtaining particulars as to the estate, preparing notice, attending the probate or Inland Revenue officer therewith, and attending for the grant when made, a reasonable and proper charge would be as follows-viz., Estates where the gross value does not exceed £100-Manchester, 133. 4d.; surrounding towns, 16s. 8d. Estates over £100 and not exceeding £300Manchester, £1 18.; surrounding towns, £1 33. 4d." The Conveyancing and Law of Property Act, 1881, which came into operation on January 1, 1882, promises to create a revolution in the whole practice of conveyancing, and is one of the most important Acts, as affecting the legal profession, which has been passed for many years. The Act is divided into eighteen parte, and contains seventy-three sections, and its provisions are very extensive and important in their character, but as the text is doubtless already in the hands of most of our members it is not necessary to attempt any recapitulation of them. The successful working of the measure will, however, no doubt depend in a great degree on the practical effect of the Act next noticed and the orders to be made thereunder. The Solicitors' Remuneration Act, 1881, which was again introduced into the House of Lords by Earl Cairns early in the session, was an improvement upon the one brought in the year before in several points as to which representations had been made to Lord Cairns by the Incorporated Law Society and by your own, in common with other provincial societies, and to which your committee referred in their last report. Since the passing of the Act the subject has been under the careful consideration of the Incorporated Law Society and the Associated Provincial Law Societies, in preparation for which your committee prepared a report embodying their views, as instructions to their representatives at the meetings of the Associated Provincial Societies. Your committee have also exchanged views with, and had conferences with, the Committee of the Liverpool Law Society with a view to harmonious action. Several meetings of the provincial law societies have been held, and conferences have taken place with the Council of the Incorporated Law Society, all of which have been attended by representatives from your society, and your committee hope they will eventually result in the authorization of such a scale of remuneration as will be acceptable both to the profession and the public. The Associated Provincial Law Societies have passed a resolution in favour of the selection by the Lord Chancellor of the President of the Liverpool Society (Mr. Harvey) to be one of the body empowered to make general orders under the Act, and the Lord Chancellor having intimated his willingness to receive the views and wishes of the societies, a copy of the resolution has been transmitted to his lordship. Civil Assize Arrangements in Lancashire.—As anticipated in the last annual report, the resolutions passed at the conference of law societies, held on December 22, 1880 (see appendix to last year's report), recommending the establishment in populous districts of local centres of the High Court of Justice, with continuous sittings, were considered by the Associated Provincial Law Societies, and adopted by that body, and a committee was appointed to collect information and to report as to the best mode of carrying the scheme into effect. This committee, on which your society was represented, having applied for certain particulars showing the necessity for the proposed scheme, part of which could only be obtained from the solicitors practising within the district proposed to be attached to Manchester as a local centre, your committee issued a circular to all the offices in the Hundred of Salford and those parts of Cheshire which are contiguous thereto, including Altrincham, Bowdon, Cheadle, Dukinfield, Macclesfield, and Stockport, amounting to 130 offices, asking for the particulars required; on the answers received the best estimates the nature of the case allowed were based, and the replies, of which a copy will be found in Appendix B., were forwarded to the Associated Provincial Law Societies, who subsequently reported that a stronger case can be made out for continuous sittings in the two centres of Manchester and Liverpool than for any other part of the country, and they therefore recommended that the law societies of Manchester and Liverpool be invited to draw up a scheme for continuous sittings in the districts of the Hundreds of Salford and West The matter still forms the Derby, with Manchester and Liverpool as centres. subject of communication between your committee and the Liverpool Society. Legal Procedure.-On the appointment by the Lord Chancellor of a committee of judges and others to consider the rules and orders and the cost of legal procedure, your committee, with a view of securing to provincial solicitors a voice on the committee, and also of increasing the usefulness of the district registries, co-operated, though without success, with the Incorporated Law Society of Liverpool, in the endeavour to obtain the addition of the name of Mr. F. D. Lowndes (one of the Judicature Commissioners) to the committee. A letter embodying the views of your committee was subsequently prepared and forwarded for the consideration of the Procedure Committee. On the publication of the report a copy was at once forwarded by the secretary to your committee, by whom it was carefully considered, and a number of sug. gestions were drawn up for the consideration of a meeting of the Associated Provincial Law Societies, which was called to consider the question. The whole subject is at present under the consideration of that body and of the Incorporated Law Society. Chancery of Lancashire.-On the occurrence of the vacancy in the office of Vice-Chancellor of Lancashire, on the death of Vice-Chancellor Little, a conference took place between your committee and that of the Liverpool Law Society as to the greater facilities required in consequence of the increased business of the court, and the advisability of the weekly sittings of the court being held in Liverpool and Manchester alternately, instead of in London, and a letter to the Chancellor of the Duchy on the subject was agreed upon. After the appointment of Mr. H. Fox Bristowe, Q.C., communications ensued with respect to the arrangements of the court, and your committee desire to acknowledge the courtesy with which their suggestions bave uniformly been received by the Vice-Chancellor. Mr. Bristowe has recently intimated his intention of residing in the neighbourhood of the County Palatine, and of for the disposal of motiors and petitions and pressing applications. Your holding weekly sittings in Liverpool and Manchester on alternate Mondays, committee have also recently considered, and have, together with the Liverpool Society, had an interview with the Vice-Chancellor on the subject of a proposed Bill for further improving the administration of justice in the court, by giving to it all the powers now vested in the Chancery Division of the High Court. MANCHESTER LAW CLERKS' FRIENDLY SOCIETY. The thirty-third annual report of this society contains the following statements :Although the claims upon the funds for the past year have been unusually heavy, it is the pleasing duty of the committee to report that not only have all such claims been met out of the year's receipte, bat-as will be seen on reference to the accounts-a considerable accumulation is carried to capital account, which now exceeds £5,000. There has been a slight falling off in the amount of extraneous donations and subscriptions, but this the committee are not surprised at, considering the long-continued depression in all branches of industry. It is hoped, however, that as business improves the subscription list may be proportionately benefited. The society has, during the past year, lost three members and one member's wife by death, and six members have from various causes ceased membership. Ten new 160. One of the members who died during the past year had at the time of members have been admitted during the year, which makes the number his death been in receipt of superannuation allowance for ten years. He and his widow have had all the benefits which the society affords for sickness, superannuation, and death, no less a sum than £315 having been so paid to them. Notwithstanding the various efforts made by the committee to bring the society and its objects prominently before the profession and their clerks, it is still urged that this is not effectually done. To meet this objection in some measure the committe have sanctioned the printing of a calendar for 1882, for distribution in the various solicitors' offices of Manchester and the neighbourhood. We may add that, according to the accounts, the society possesses à General Fund, nearly all of which is invested, amounting to £5,155 13. 98., and that the scale of entrance fees and subscriptions adopted by the society are as follows :— On the death of a free member's wife who has been registered on the society's books, a sum equal to one-half the sum allowed on the death of a free member according to the preceding scale, except that in no case shall the allowance on the death of a free member's wife exceed the sum of £15. There shall be paid on the death of the widow of a member who has LEGAL APPOINTMENTS.

About the year 1856 he succeeded Mr. Hodding as town clerk of Salisbury, but a few weeks ago the state of his health induced him to resign the office, and he was succeeded by Mr. Powning. Mr. Lee was a perpetual commissioner for Wiltshire, and he was also for many years clerk to the magistrates, and to the Commissioners of Land, Assessed, and Income Taxes for the city of Salis. bury. He leaves a widow and four children. MR. GEORGE LEEMAN.

He was formerly associated with Mr. William Fox Clarke, but more recently he was in partnership with Mr. Joseph Wilkinson, town clerk of York, and with his son, Mr. Joseph Johnson Leeman, M.P., who was admitted in 1865, and Mr. Frank Leeman, who was admitted in 1880. Mr. Leeman was the head of one of the largest solicitor's offices in York. Nearly forty years ago he was appointed by Lord Wenlock to the clerkship of the peace for the East Riding of Yorkshire, which office he held until his death, and his firm were joint clerks to the Lieutenancy for the East Riding He was for some time chairman of the North-Eastern Railway Company, and of the Yorkshire Banking Company, and he took an active part in political and municipal business. He was elected a town councillor for Castlegate Ward in 1635, and one of the city aldermen in 1850. He was Lord Mayor of York in 1853, and again in 1860 and in 1870. In 1865 he was elected M.P. for the city in the Liberal interest. He retired at the general election of 1868, but he was again returned in 1874, and at the last general election he retired in consequence of ill-health, the seat being filled by his eldest son.

There Mr. Edwin James, formerly M.P. for Marylebone, and recorder of Brighton, died on the 5th inst. Mr. James was the son of Mr. John James, solicitor, secondary of the City of London, and was born in 1812. He was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in Hilary Term, 1836, when he joined the Home Circuit. His father's interest gave him an early introduction to business, and for many years he had an extensive junior practice, both civil and criminal. In 1850 he received a silk gown, and rapidly obtained a good leading business, both in London and on circuit. Without any pretension to eloquence, or any deep knowledge of law, he was a zealous and discreet advocate, and a formidable cross-examiner, and he had always great influence with a jury. were few celebrated cases in which he was not engaged. He was associated with the late Sir Alexander Cockburn for the prosecution in the Palmer case, and one of his most successful achievements was his defence of Dr. Bernard on the charge of being implicated in Orsini's conspiracy to murder the Emperor Napoleon. In 1855 he was appointed the first recorder of the borough of Brighton, and in 1859 he was elected M.P. for Marylebone in the Liberal interest. He was a steady supporter of Lord Palmerston, and he is understood to have been designated for the office of Solicitor-General. Unfortunately, in 1861, certain grave charges of dishonesty induced him to resign his recordership and his seat in Parliament, and he went to America, and for a short time practised at the bar of New York. In the meantime he was disbarred, and his patent as a Queen's Counsel was cancelled, and this led to his exclusion from the American bar. Since his return to England an appeal to the judges against his disbarment had been unsuccessful, and he is understood to have been recently in very needy circumstances. Acc.
