Notwithstanding the criticisms that we have made, we are of opinion that those of our readers who have to construe mercantile agreements will do well to peruse this book. tive. PRIVATE BILL LEGISLATION. A HISTORY OF PRIVATE BILL LEGISLATION. VOL. II. By FREDERICK CLIFFORD, Barrister-at-Law. Butterworths. We have now before us the second and concluding volume of this work, and a portly volume it is, of nearly 1,000 pages. The subject with which the book deals is one of the utmost interest and importance, and it is not too high praise to say that the book is worthy of its subject. The future historian of the "Victorian Era" will find here ready to his hand a vast collection of facts and figures, and the form in which these are presented is attractive as well as instrucThe present volume falls naturally into two divisions, of which the first deals with certain of the greater subjects of Private Bill Legislation which were not discussed in the first volume, and the second contains an historical exposition of practice in connection with such legislation. After a chapter relating to Highways, Roads, Bridges, and Ferries, we come to three chapters containing the history of the legislation with respect to the London Water Supply, including an account of the abortive attempts of 1880 and 1884 to put this matter on a new basis. Then several chapters are devoted to the subject of Local Authorities, one of them being specially appropriate to the Corporation of the City of London. Materials are supplied here for tracing out the history of the much-debated coal duties; the benefits which have accrued to the public from their existence are explained, and it is pointed out that, in the event of the thirteenpenny tax not being renewed in 1889, the corporation's prescriptive right to metage will then again arise. Chapters are also given to the subjects of Insurance and of the Thames Docks. The second division of this volume is occupied, as already stated, with the consideration of the practice, the historical development of which is fully worked out, and the present system is discussed. Various proposals, recent and comparatively old, for the delegation of the work of the Private Bill Committees to judicial, local, or other bodies are investigated, and the conclusion at which the author arrives may be best stated in his own language:-"Committees do a most useful and necessary work without payment. This work is part of the legislative functions of the High Court to which they belong, performed, it may almost be said, in the presence of Parliament, and subject to immediate check and revision from either branch of the Legislature. Committees are no more infallible than Parliament itself is. But suitors trust them, recognize their competence, and are satisfied with a right of appeal and a second hearing. The interests of suitors, however, are small in comparison with the public interests affected by this jurisdiction. For the Imperial Parliament to discontinue its ancient Parliamentary tribunals, now reformed and cheapened, and delegate legislative functions, wholly or partially, to any inferior authority, would surely be a lamentable abandonment both of power and of duty." ROMAN PRIVATE LAW. INSTITUTES AND HISTORY OF ROMAN PRIVATE LAW. By Dr. CARL in consecutive order. An example will give a better idea of the nature of the book than any amount of description. We take, at haphazard, the definition of Injuria at p. 668 : "Injuria, in the narrower sense, is every intentional and illegal violation of honour-i.e, the whole personality of another," and this definition is illustrated by the following passages :“Generaliter injuria dicitur omne quod non jure fit; specialiter alias contumelia, quæ a contemnendo dicta est, alias culpa, sicut lege Aquilia damnum injuria accipitur, alias iniquitas vel injustitia." "Injuria ex affectu facientis consistit. Itaque pati quis injuriam, etiamsi non sentiat, potest; facere nemo, nisi qui scit se injuriam facere, etiamsi nesciat, cui faciat." Now, we think that it would be far more instructive, more interesting, and more intelligible for the average student, who wanted to understand the meaning of injuria in Roman law, to sit down and read Digest 47, 10, which would not take him very long, than a series of clippings like the foregoing. The example above, however, is more intelligible and readable than a good many which we have come across, but which are too long for quotation. One of the most curious results of the clipping process which we have found is on page 665, where the following passage occurs under the description of the action for Damnum Injuria Ditum, given by the Lex Aquilia:— "In heredem vel ceteros haec actio non dabitur, cum sit pænalis, nisi forte er damno locupletior heres factus sit." After reading which, if the student is not duly impressed with the logical beauty of Roman law we do not know what will impress him. TRADE AND FINANCE ANNUAL. BARKER'S TRADE AND FINANCE ANNUAL, 1886-7. Effingham A considerable amount of information is here collected, in a moderate compass ard in a readable shape, on a large variety of topics. The first section of the book, which is devoted to the Money Market, deals with such matters as the Bank of England, the price of gold, financial panics, and so on. The Silver Question has a section to itself, in which bimetallism and the purchasing power of the rupee find a place. Foreign Exchanges and the Stock Exchange are also discussed, and a mass of statistics is presented bearing upon English, American, and Indian railways, and the commercial staples of wool, iron, coal, tin, copper, lead, petroleum, and tea, as well as on population. But the most important and, from a legal point of view, the most interesting topic comprised in the work is the English Land Question, followed by some details on the agricultural industries. Upon the English Land Question the elementary materials necessary for forming a judgment appear to be supplied, and are, on the whole, fairly stated. The weakness of the theories as to "unearned increment" is made clear by the authority of the late Professor Fawcett, and the objections to Mr. Jesse Collings' Allotments and Small Holdings Bill are forcibly stated. With respect to the movement for the so-called enfranchisement of leaseholds the judgment of the compilers appear to be in suspense; they do not appear to see the full force of the objections to transferring one man's property to another by enabling the present leaseholder to insist on compulsorily purchasing the freehold reversion at a price arbitrarily fixed by some external authority, nor to be fully alive to the very different positions which would be created if any law in this direction were confined to future leases, in which case people would be able to act with their eyes open, and there would not be the same reason for complaint. ARCHITECTURAL DISPUTES. TRATIVE DIFFICULTIES AND DISPUTES. By ROBERT KERR, The translator's preface to this book contains the following somewhat enigmatical sentence:-"In studying Roman law I had found that best progress could be made through use of German treatises. That now published in English represents what may be the fifth THE CONSULTING ARCHITECT: PRACTICAL NOTES ON ADMINISedition of a book which is recommended by the Oxford Board of Legal Studies." If this means that the book now before us is recommended by the Oxford Board of Legal Studies, we should rather dissent from their recommendation. It consists, in the form now before us (and we must premise that we have not compared the translation with the German original, so that we are unable to say what is due to author and what to translator), of a series of excerpts from the Institutes, Digests, and Codes, arranged in groups and interspersed with introductory and explanatory paragraphs. Now it is true that neither the Digest nor the Institutes are arranged in a very scientific manner, and in reading them one skips about from one head of law to another in a rather distressing manner; nevertheless the consecutive paragraphs cannot be safely dissociated always, even where the immediate relation is not very apparent, without producing confusion; and Dr. Salkowski, or his translator, has used the scissors so unsparingly that it is rare to find very many lines of the original text "The purpose of this book," says the author's short preface, "is to exhibit, on practical and almost popular ground, the principles upon which the architect, as an expert, has to deal with the various classes of difficulties and disputes connected with building affairs," and it can hardly fail to be of great use to those for whom it is intended, dealing, as it does, with all the important matters in which the assistance of the consulting architect is likely to be invoked, and giving throughout sound, practical information and advice. author modestly reminds his readers that he is not a lawyer, but the nature of his subject inevitably leads him to discuss many points in which legal considerations are involved, and we may say that his practical experience has enabled him to give on such points counsel of which no lawyer need be ashamed. Wholesome and, as experience The shews, not altogether unnecessary, suggestions as to caution in making affidavits and giving viva voce evidence are made, and while the advice here given on the various points discussed will not enable the consulting architect to dispense with the exercise of his own powers of thought and work, yet, if in the multifarious cases which may arise, he exercises those powers in the spirit here suggested for his adoption, the value of his assistance ought to be great, and his opinions ought to be capable of standing the tests of the court or the arbitration room. auditors re-elected were Messrs. C. E. Gresham and R. H. Winter. The meeting then proceeded to discuss several motions, of which notice had been given, relating to matters of professional interest. CORRESPONDENCE. THE LAW'S DELAY. [To the Editor of the Solicitors' Journal.] Sir, -We venture to call attention through your columns to the following facts, which seem to us to point to something radically wrong in the arrangements for the administration of justice : In a trust for which we are the solicitors there is a question on the construction of a will, and the decision of the court was desired upon the point. Some of the beneficiaries, therefore, took out an originating summons, returnable in the early part of May last, in chambers. One affidavit verifying the facts was read, and the matter was adjourned into court. The case was at once inserted in the list, classes II. and III., and is still awaiting hearing. It is right to mention that the judge to whose court the case was originally attached died, and another judge took it over, with others, but, even allowing a delay of three weeks for the transfer, we think this instance of delay-simply, it would appear, by reason of want of judge power-is a disgrace to our civilization. There are other cases in the same predicament, and it seems to us that to get over it (and avoid similar blocks in future) there should be more judges. It would be infinitely better for one judge, or even two, to be idle for a short time each sittings than to impose upon suitors such unconscionable delay. Our case, when it does come on, will not, we suppose, occupy more than half-an-hour, yet it has been standing in the list ready for hearing since May last. SOLICITORS TO THE TRUSTEES. LAW SOCIETIES.

(vice-president) seconded, the adoption of the report, which had been He was admitted a solicitor in 1873. printed and distributed amongst the members. The report shewed that there were now 92 members of the society, and that was the largest number the society ever contained. It dealt with the action of the council with respect to the several Bills which had been introduced into Parliament affecting the interest of the profession and the public, and reviewed the effect of some important and unexpected decisions of the courts of appeal in reference to mortgages, bills of sale, and the appointment of a receiver. Regret was expressed at the difficulties placed by the authorities in the way of improving the practice and the procedure, and so extending the usefulness, of the Borough Court of Record, and concluded with a reference to the proceedings at the annual provincial meeting of the Incor porated Law Society of the United Kingdom at York in October last, on the occasion of the centenary of the Yorkshire Law Society, which Mr. Thorney, Mr. Priestman, Mr. J. T. Woodhouse, Sir Albert Rollit, and Mr. C. F. Shackles attended from the Hull Law Society.

Travis-Cook, seconded by Mr. Birks, a special vote of thanks was recorded to the retiring secretary, Mr. J. T. Woodhouse, for his valuable services to the society in that capacity for eight years; and in acknowledging the vote Mr. Woodhouse expressed his satisfaction that the society was now in such a prosperous condition. Since he first took office the number of members had, by the efforts of successive presidents, and by the increasing advantages the society offered, doubled; it had become incorporated, had a habitation and premises of its own, and a very valuable and much improved library; it had exercised considerable influence on the proceedings of the chief society in London, and done very valuable work for the profession locally.
