and Bristol against charging purchasers with auctioneers' fees were referred to with approval. It is believed that the practice of charging contract fees is now generally abandoned, but some members of the society still charge auctioneers' fees to purchasers, and it appears to the committee desirable that a distinct recommendation on the latter point should be given by the society for the guidance of its members." Under these circumstances the resolution may be taken to express the considered opinion of the society, and the committee, therefore, venture to hope that it will be acted upon by all the members of the society, and that they will use their influence with non-members to induce them to follow the same course, so that the practice of the profession may become uniform in this district, and at the same time be brought into harmony with the practice in London and elsewhere.

He was educated at Eton and at Merton College, Oxford, and he was called to the bar at the Middle Temple in Easter Term, 1848. He formerly practised on the Midland Circuit. He was for several years stipendiary magistrate for the Potteries District, and in 1874 he was appointed magistrate at the Greenwich and Woolwich PoliceCourts. Mr. Balguy had presided over several maritime inquiries as Commissioner of Wrecks, and he had obtained a high reputation as a sound criminal lawyer and an efficient magistrate. He was a magistrate for Kent, Staffordshire, and Derbyshire. Mr. Balguy was married in 1858 to the daughter of Mr. James William Ogle, of Beckenham. Mr. GEORGE MANLEY WETHERFIELD, solicitor, of 2, Gresham-buildings, died at his residence, Highbury. grove, on the 1st inst. Mr. Wetherfield was born in 1820. He was admitted a solicitor in 1847, and he had practised for nearly forty years in the City of London. He was in partnership with his son, Mr. Frederick George Manley Wetherfield, who was admitted a solicitor in 1881. He was a commissioner to administer oaths in the Supreme Court of Judicature and in the Stannaries Courts, and a perpetual commissioner for the county of Middlesex and the cities of London and Westminster. Mr. Wetherfield had an extensive practice in the City of London Court. The Right Hon. ACTON SMEE AYRTON, barrister, who died at Bournemouth on the 1st inst., at the age of seventy, was the third son of Mr. Frederick Ayrton, of Bombay, and was born in 1816. He was formerly in practice as a solicitor at Bombay, and he was called to the bar at Grays-inn in Easter Term, 1853. In 1852 he unsuccessfully contested the Tower Hamlets in the Radical interest, but he was returned for that constituency in 1857, and again in 1859, 1865, and 1868. He became a frequent speaker in the House of Commons, especially as an advocate of economy, and in December, 1868, on the formation of Mr. Gladstone's First Government, he was appointed Financial Secretary to the Treasury. About a year later he succeeded Mr. Layard in the office of First Commissioner of Public Works and Buildings, and was sworn in as a member of the Privy Council. As First Commissioner he was very unpopular, owing to his zeal for economy and his somewhat aggressive manner in Parliament. In 1873 he was removed to the office of Judge Advocate General, and in March, 1874, he retired with his party, having in the previous month failed to secure re-election for the Tower Hamlets. At the General Election of last year Mr. Ayrton unsuccessfully contested the Mile End Division of the Tower Hamlets. APPOINTMENTS.
