the Draft Order under the Solicitors' Remuneration Act, 1881, received on the 4th instant from the Lord Chancellor, and beg, pursuant to the provisions of the 3rd section of that Act, to submit for the consideration of the Tribunal the following observations and suggestions on such Draft Order. The council approve of the general scope of the regulations and provisions proposed by the Draft Order, subject to the following remarks :

With regard to the exclusion from the Order of conveyancing transactions under registered titles, it is submitted that the difficulties of dealing with registered titles, though different in kind from those attending unregistered titles, have not been found less in practice, and that the operation of the Act was intended to be as general as possible, and its utility must greatly depend upon this being the case. It is, therefore, respectfully suggested that conveyancing transactions under registered titles should be included.

Clause 2 seems to require verbal alteration, and it is suggested that after the word "conveyancing" the following words should be added: "and in respect of other business." This will make it consistent with the heading of the Draft Order and the words of the 2nd section of the Act.

It is suggested, for the sake of uniformity of expression throughout the Order, that in lieu of the words "is to be regulated by the terms contained in the 2nd schedule hereto," the following words should be substituted: "the remuneration shall be according to the present system as altered by the 2nd schedule hereto."

It is submitted that the words "charges for maps and plans" should be inserted after "valuers' charges" in line 2. Conveyances of small building plots are now almost universally made by reference to plans-the use of which it is desirable to encourage-and the practice of the Middlesex Registry is, if a plan is on the deed, to require two other copies-one of the memorial and a copy on paper. These are frequently, when simple, made through law stationers, who keep draughtsmen for the purpose. Their charge for the set of three plans would vary from 10s. to two guineas or more, and of course it cannot be the intention that a solicitor who is to receive £3 on a sale under £100 is to pay this out of his own pocket. The insertion of the words is, however, necessary to save misunderstanding, owing to the subsequent direction in the same clause that the remuneration shall include "law stationers' charges."

The reference in clause 8 should be to the 3rd sub-section of section 1 of the Solicitors' Remuneration Act.

The council observe that the remuneration prescribed in the first part of the 1st schedule is now divided into fees for negotiation and fees for conveyancing proper. In the fees for negotiation on sales and purchases a small minority only of the profession will be able to participate. The ordinary course of practice with regard to sales and purchases which prevails in England south of the Trent and Mersey, and in many districts in the North of England, is as follows:

In purchases by private contract of moderate amount the solicitors on either side rarely hear of the business until their client or his surveyor acquaints them with the terms arranged and gives instructions as to the contract, and in larger transactions the same rule prevails except that the solicitor is frequently consulted previously as to the surveyor to be employed, and the latter takes his instructions from the solicitor, and, perhaps, sometimes advises with him on points of detail during the negotia. tions. But the actual settlement of the price is almost always left with the surveyor under the client's control.

In such cases, the client has to pay to the surveyor a commission or a fee by arrangement, which is usually based on commission. So in the case of a sale by auction, it is impossible to find an auctioneer of standing in London or the home counties who will undertake business upon other terms than those of a commission on the amount sold. In all these cases the solicitor would not, as the Draft Order stands, be entitled to any negotiation fee.

The fees named in the first part of the 1st schedule for the work proper and peculiar to the profession of solicitor are not, in the judgment of the council, apart from the fees for negotiation, adequate in themselves to the responsibility, kill, and labour required for that work.

If the Order stands as drawn the result will be that the actual remuneration received by the members of a skilled profession will be considerably less than in commercial transactions is paid to all descriptions of brokers, although there is probably no other case in which so great a propor. tionate labour and responsibility is incurred.

The council, however, on this point would refer to clause 12 of the Regulations on p. 4. As the clause stands, it appears to the council that it could have no practical application; but this can hardly have been the intention, and if it be so modified as to make it applicable to all cases

where no negotiation fee is receivable by the solicitor, it would to a large extent meet the objection of the council. With regard to purchases exceeding £100,000 the council are unable to perceive upon what principle the Tribunal has proceeded in limiting the fee as proposed. It is true that purchases of this amount are not numerous; but where they occur they generally involve the consideration of a number of separate titles, and an amount of trouble which has relation to the purchase-money. The responsibility is in all cases in proportion to the price. The solicitor should, as the council think, be remunerated accordingly.

On points of detail it is submitted that the words "freehold, copyhold, or leasehold," which occur four times in part 1 of the 1st schedule should be altered in each case so as to read "freehold, copy hold, leasehold, or other property," and that the clause fixing the fee payable to the vendor's solicitor for deducing title to the property should be qualified by striking out the words "if any," at the end of the clause, and inserting the words "on a sale by private contract."

The words "beld wholly or partially under a distinct title," in line 2, and the words "or reserved prices" in line 6, should, it is conceived, be omitted.

With regard to clause 11, p. 4, the last paragraph of it provides that, in cases of sales under the Lands Clauses or other similar Acts, the scale-charge for negotiation shall not apply. By the 82nd section of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act (8 Vict. c. 18) the conveyancing costs of the vendor's solicitor, which he is entitled to recover from the purchasers, are limited to the perusal and execution of the conveyances and the deduction of such title as the purchasers shall require, and in practice as the purchasers have the means, by paying the purchase-money into court, of acquiring an absolute fee simple, titles are much less strictly investigated on these sales than on an ordinary purchase; but, on the other hand, as the purchasers have, by following the course prescribed by the Act, the means of acquiring an indefeasible title, it constantly happens that the costs incurred on these sales are very large in small cases and relatively small in large ones.

It is also more than doubtful whether the Solicitors' Remuneration Act was at all intended by a side wind to repeal a section of a public Act, which operates not between the solicitor and his client, but in favour of a third party. The council suggest that the clause should be modified so as to exclude from the scale purchases under the Acts in question.

Clause 12 should, the council submit, be amended in the sense of their previous observations, and this could be done by inserting the word "not" between the words "would" and "be" in the first line, and omitting the words "and he shall not charge such commission then" in lines 2 and 3, with which alteration the clause would read as follows:

"12. In cases where, under the previous portions of the schedule, a solicitor would not be entitled to charge a commission for negotiating a sale, purchase, or mortgage, or for conducting a sale by auction, he shall be entitled to charge the rates allowed by the first column on all transactions up to £2,000, and to charge in addition those allowed by the second column on all amounts above £2,000 and not exceeding £5,000, and further to charge those allowed by the third column on all amounts above £5,000 and not exceeding £50,000, instead of the rates allowed up to the amounts mentioned in those columns respectively."

Upon Part II. of the first schedule the council beg to call attention to clause 5 of that portion which deals with "leases or conveyances at a rent or agreement for the same other than mining leases or agreements therefor."

This provision as it stands would appear to be unworkable as applied to conveyances on rents in perpetuity, or for a long term of years. The council are informed that considerable parts of Manchester, Clifton, and other important districts, are held under fee-farm rents, and the question, therefore, is not unimportant. They suggest the substitution of the following clause :

"5. When a conveyance or lease is partly in consideration of a money payment or premium and partly of a rent, then, in addition to the remuneration hereby prescribed in respect of the rent, there shall be paid a further sum equal to the remuneration on a purchase at a price equal to such money payment or premium."

August 3, 1882.
SOLICITORS' REMUNERATION ACT, 1881.

I am sorry that further consideration has tended to confirm the view verbally expressed at the close of the meeting of the Tribunal yesterday. In my judgment the scale of remuneration to solicitors on the principal

conveyancing transactions will be entirely inadequate to the services rendered if taken apart from the negotiation fees; the latter, I feel convinced, will prove to be illusory with regard to at least nine-tenths of the profession, and in the overwhelming majority of transactions cannot be charged in the terms of the scale. While fully accepting the position laid down by your lordship, that an arrangement of this kind must be more or less a matter of compromise, I cannot, on a point which appears to me of such vital im portance, see that any other course is open to me than to dissent from the Order as settled by the other members of the Tribunal. This I do with great regret, but with a conviction that, at least from my point of view, it is the right course.

I will send copies of this communication to the other members of the Tribunal. I have the honour to remain, my Lord, your most obedient servaut, THOMAS PAINE, President. The Right Hon, the Lord Chancellor.

SCHWEITZER'S COCOATINA, Arti-Dyspeptic Cocoa or Chocolate Powder. Guaranteed Pure Soluble Cocoa of the Finest Quality, with the excess of fat extracted.

The Faculty pronounce it "the most nutritious, perfectly digestible beverage for Breakfast, Luncheon, or Supper, and invaluable for Invalids and Children."

Highly commended by the entire Medical Press. Being without sugar, spice, or other admixture, it suits all palates, keeps better in all climates, and is four times the strength of cocoas THICKENED yet WEAKENED With starch, &c., and IN REALITY CHEAPER than such Mixtures. Made instantaneously with boiling water, a teaspoonful to a Breakfast Cup, costing less than a halfpenny. COCOATINA A LA VANILLE is the most delicate, digestible, cheapest Manilla Chocolate, and may be taken when richer chocolate is prohibited.
