CURRENT TOPICS

MR. JUSTICE KAY has announced that he will continue the hearing of adjourned summonses during next week, in order to reduce the heavy list as far as possible before taking non-witness actions and further considerations.

WE UNDERSTAND that it is in contemplation to issue a direction that an order giving leave to serve a writ out of the jurisdiction at a particular place, may also allow the writ to be served within a prescribed radius of the place named. It was recommended in the Direction of the Senior Registrar (30 SOLICITORS' JOURNAL, 658) on the subject of time for entering appearance after service out of the jurisdiction, "to allow a certain area for service."

IT HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED this week that the special licence necessary to enable a Queen's Counsel to appear in court to defend a prisoner, which has hitherto been signed by the Queen personally, is, in future, to be granted by the Home Secretary, and, we presume (although this is not stated), that a similar course is to be adopted in the case of all licences for employment of a Queen's cause against the Crown. As the licence, at all events, in the case of criminal trials, is never refused, the only object of retaining the formality must be the fees connected with the application. At the close of the last century the expense of obtaining the licence is stated to have been about £9 (see Christian's Blackstone, 12th ed., p. 27, note (2)); perhaps some reader can tell us what it costs at the present day.

IN ISSUING a summons, including several matters, in the Queen's Bench Chambers in cases where the summons also asked for the usual liberty to apply-viz., "that either party be at liberty, without further summons, to apply to the master for further directions, such application to be made upon two clear days' notice to be served upon the other party"-it has been customary to charge a 10s. fee and give a four-day return, as being a summons for directions under R. S. C., 1883, XXX.; but in cases where the summons included several matters, but without asking for liberty to apply subsequently without further summons, the practice has been to charge a 38. (ordinary summons) fee and give a two-day return, as being a summons in several matters under R. S. C., 1883, LIV., 9. A practice master has now decided that a summons which

there had been any default by the grantor. This clause was held to render the bill of sale void, as not being a clause either for the "maintenance or "defeasance" of the security. This, we believe, is not an uncommon provision in bills of sale. practical effect of the numerous decisions invalidating bills of sale has, it is understood, been to raise enormously the rate of interest charged on such securities.

SPEAKING of Lord MONKSWELL last week, we mentioned that his name did not appear in PULLING's list of serjeants, though we believed that he was styled a serjeant in the Gazette. The facts appear to be these: The Gazette of November 7th, 1871, contains the following entry :-" Crown Office, November 7th, 1871. Her Majesty has been pleased, by Letters Patent under the Great Seal, to constitute and appoint Sir ROBERT PORRETT COLLIER, Knight, Serjeant-at-Law, one of the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas." So far this appears regular enough. But on turning to a Gazette of later date-that of December 1st, 1871we find this entry: "Crown Office, November 30th, 1871. Her Majesty has been pleased, by a writ under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom, to call WILLIAM ROBERT GROVE, Esq., one of Her Majesty's Counsel learned in the law, to the state and degree of a Serjeant-at-Law. Her Majesty has also been pleased, by Letters Patent under the Great Seal, to constitute and appoint WILLIAM ROBERT GROVE, Serjeant-at-Law, one of the Justices of Her Majesty's Court of Common Pleas." It is certain that the late Lord MONKSWELL was never admitted a member of Serjeant'sinn, nor received any share of the purchase-money when that inn was sold and the profits divided. Justice GROVE's call as serjeant being gazetted, while that of Mr. Justice COLLIER was not, while at the same time Mr. Justice COLLIER was styled a serjeant? The only reason that suggests itself is that a writ calling Sir R. COLLIER to the degree of serjeant was made out, but was never publicly executed in open court (with the quaint ceremony which was last gone through when the present Lord Chief Justice of England received his appointment), so that, as the philosopher of Greek comedy was "within and yet not within" when his clients called upon him, so the late Lord MONKSWELL was and was not a serjeant, when the problem was how to qualify for a judge by having been serjeant, and yet by not having been serjeant avoid the payment of some £400 in fees to Serjeant's-inn.

What was the reason of Mr.

IT MAY BE DOUBTED whether the law as to the right of the Bishop of London to prevent Mr. HAWEIS from preaching in the City Temple is so clear as it is generally supposed to be. The Act of Uniformity, which has been cited as concluding the matter, has very little direct bearing upon it, inasmuch as that statute is directed at the securing of uniform services conducted by properly authorized persons within Church of England churches and chapels,

and is silent as to the conduct of such persons elsewhere. And we THE DECISION of the Queen's Bench Division on the application have searched in vain for any reported case which has gone the for a mandamus against Mr. BENNETT, the police magistrate, to length of laying down as illegal the mere preaching, unaccom-state a case has, we suppose, practically settled the question when panied by the celebration of other ordinances, by a clergyman a dog is "not under the control of any person" within the words in a Dissenting chapel. The canon most in point is the 71st, of the Dogs Act, 1871. The rule laid down by the court appears whereby it is provided that "no minister shall preach or to have been that the question whether a dog is or is not "under administer the Holy Communion in any private house"; and control" is one of fact only to be decided by the magistrate, and the case most in point appears to be Trebec v. Keith (2 Atk. according to Lord COLERIDGE, the fact that a dog is neither muzzled 498), decided in 1742, in which Lord HARDWICKE said that nor led is, "in the absence of very positive evidence to the "there is no pretence for preaching without licence from the contrary," sufficient to prove that it is not "under control." The bishop," and that, though it is not necessary "for a minister to other judges appear to have concurred in this view, but Mr. Justice have licence from the bishop for each particular case, the bishop STEPHEN apparently thought that the fact that a dog is neither may suspend him wholly where he is irregular." But a place muzzled nor led is conclusive proof that it is not "under control," like the City Temple could hardly be deemed a private inasmuch as dogs are "insensible to moral influences"; which house" within the meaning of the 71st canon; and Trebec remark appears, at all events, to be conclusive proof that Mr. v. Keith, like Moysey v. Hillcoat (2 Hagg. 30) and other Justice STEPHEN has never kept a dog. The proper course for the cases in relation to unconsecrated proprietary chapels, was a case future will be for the local authority making an order under the where full services had evidently been conducted. What Mr. Dogs Act to state explicitly in such order that all dogs in public HAWEIS proposed would, no doubt, have contravened the spirit of places must be either muzzled or led, so as to give fair warning to the ecclesiastical law, which (see Act of Uniformity, 14 Car. 2, the public, instead of following the misleading course hitherto c. 4, s. 18, and Act of Uniformity Amendment Act, 1872, 35 & 36 adopted of merely stating that no dogs not under the control of Vict. c. 35, s. 6) forbids preaching in a church without specific any person shall be suffered to be in any public place. antecedent forms of worship; but it is at least questionable whether it would have contravened the letter of any canon or statute.

LORD JUSTICE FRY took occasion, on the hearing of an appeal in Ebrard v. Gassier on the 29th ult., in the Court of Appeal, to comment on the fact that it frequently happened in the Chancery Division that affidavits are entered in orders as having been read which, in fact, were never read to the court, and to express his dissent from this practice. At the same time, he made no suggestion for putting a stop to the practice, probably because his remarks were only introduced as an illustration, and did not apply to the matter immediately before the court. Should the learned judge attempt to introduce any alteration, he must, at the same time that he excludes from judgments and orders in Chancery the entering of affidavits as read which are not in fact read, provide that the cost of affidavits bona fide made for the purposes of the case shall not be forfeited. In taxing costs the taxing master considers it his duty to reject charges for affidavits not entered in the order as read, although he will take into consideration and allow for witnesses summoned but not called on, and whose names are not stated in the order among those giving oral evidence. It is submitted that the practice of the taxing masters is just, and that the practice of the registrars of entering as read evidence on which, though not in fact read, the order of the court is really based, cannot be altered without effecting injustice. The judges of the Chancery Division are often content to take from the statement of counsel the general effect of the evidence, and it frequently occurs that the only reference made in court to an affidavit is the statement of counsel that he has evidence of what he is saying. Again, when the parties have, by means of affidavits on both sides, arrived at a basis of settlement and come to the court to sanction a judgment by consent, no evidence is in fact read. Would it be right in either of these cases to deprive the solicitor of his costs of procuring this evidence, or, it may be, to throw on his client costs which in fact ought to be paid by the opponent? Lord Justice FRY, in his strictures on the practice, loses sight of the fact that the taxing masters, while refusing to allow for affidavits which are not entered in the judgment or order as read, do not, as a matter of course, allow the whole cost of every affidavit which is read. Those who would uphold the view propounded by the learned judge would argue that to enter affidavits as read which are not read is to introduce a fiction. But is it a fiction? The court has made the order upon the evidence, though the physical reading of the evidence did not in fact take place, and in drawing up the order the registrar reads the evidence in order to see that it proves the facts it purports to prove, and will not enter any affidavit which was obviously unnecessary, while, on the other hand, he is occasionally instructed by the judge to receive an affidavit to be made after the judge has in effect parted with the case. It is clear, then, that any alteration made in the present practice would involve important considerations, and could only be effected after due deliberation and with regard to the surrounding facts.

A STRONG APPEAL has been made in the Times to rescue Stapleinn from the hands of the destroyer. Following the example of the Serjeants, the Principal and Ancients of this Inn of Chancery are stated, some time ago, to have sold or shared among them the plate, fixtures, and movable ornaments, and to have sold the land and buildings to Messrs. TROLLOPE for over £80,000. Messrs. TROLLOPE have resold a part to the Board of Works for an extension of the Patent Office, and will offer the remainder for sale by auction in the course of the present month. The appeal seems to be directed either towards stopping this "trafficking in quasi-corporate property," on the wrong assumption that Messrs. TROLLOPE are, in fact, only "feeling the pulse of the public on behalf of the Ancients," or else towards inducing some public body to purchase the Inn. As regards the latter object, everyone must hope, though no one can expect, that it will be accomplished. But, as regards the prevention of the "trafficking," the experience of the Council of the Incorporated Law Society, who in 1884 took active steps to prevent the sale of Clement's-inn, is not encouraging. They obtained the opinion of counsel, and communicated it to the Charity Commissioners, who, however, declined to interfere. By the way, what has become of the Bill which was introduced by the Attorney-General in 1885 for "better securing the property of corporate and quasi-corporate associations"?

THERE IS A STORY going the round of the papers about someone in a humble position having lately established a claim to £300,000 in court, and it is added that, after funds have been in court for a certain time without being claimed, they are forfeited to the Crown, and special attention is drawn to the providential fact that the right to the fund in question was established only two days before that time expired. Suitors need not, however, be alarmed lest their property should become forfeited to the Crown. It is indeed the fact that, under certain circumstances, funds in court not claimed are transferred to the Commissioners for the reduction of the National Debt, but the Consolidated Fund is, by Act of Parliament, made liable to replace all such funds when the ownership is proved-see the Chancery Funds Act, 1872 (35 & 36 Vict. c. 44), s. 14.

The funeral of Mr. Robert Few, the Deputy High Steward of Westminster, took place last week in Esher churchyard, the Dean of WestMr. Hamilton Few, Mr. C. Few, and other members of the family; and minster, assisted by the Rev. C. Few officiating. The chief mourners were immediately behind them followed the High Steward (the Duke of Westminster), and burgesses of Westminster, Mr. W. J. Farrer, the Revs. F. Candwell, R. Milburn, Blakiston, and S. Warren, the leading gentry and tradesmen of Esher, the staff of his office, and many legal friends, as well as representatives of the various church societies of which he had been so active a member. The head master and bursar of Marlborough College, of the council of which he was a member, were present.
