But we confess we think that the committee might have been more usefully employed in considering the whole subject of the effect of the Remuneration Order, and the recent decisions upon it. ACCORDING TO a daily paper, an interesting question has arisen at Plumstead with regard to the right of disposal of the remains of a Roman lady who is supposed to have departed this life about A.D. 300. The owner of the land on which the remains, inclosed in a The Solicitors' Journal and Reporter. Lead coffin, were recently discovered, perhaps encouraged by the LONDON, FEBRUARY 5, 1887. CURRENT TOPICS. PRACTITIONERS INTERESTED in the cases recently transferred to Mr. Justice KEKEWICH should be prepared for their coming into the daily list at a comparatively early date. The cases which were in his list before the transfer are being disposed of with considerable rapidity. THE PROGRESS made by the Court of Appeal in dealing with the lists before the two divisions has recently been exceptionally rapid, and this observation extends both to final and interlocutory appeals. Court of Appeal No. 1 is particularly forward with its work, and, if the present rate of progress continues, there is good reason to anticipate that at the close of the sittings there will be no arrears of the cases in the lists at the commencement of the present sittings. THE ANNOUNCEMENT made by the President of the Incorporated Law Society at the meeting last week, that the existing regulalations relating to the Preliminary Examination are to be repealed, and that new regulations are now before the judges, will occasion very general satisfaction, particularly when coupled with his hint that the new regulations are not in the direction of lowering the standard, by which we suppose we must understand that they raise it. The passage in last years' report, intimating that the council "saw no reason" for altering the Preliminary Examination, was a grave mistake, as we pointed out at the time, but the council have acted wisely in promptly reconsidering the matter, and we hope that the new regulations will be found to afford some real guarantee of "a reasonably liberal education." NO OBJECTION can be raised to the appointment, at the meeting of the Incorporated Law Society, of a committee to consider and report to the council whether it is or is not expedient to assimilate the practice as to the conduct of auction sales in England generally to that which prevails in the North of England, except this, that it is rather late in the day to attempt a revolution in the London practice. The committee might well have been appointed soon after the issue of the Remuneration Order, when there was no settled practice, and we were urging, week after week, the then council to afford some general guidance to bewildered practitioners. But the Order has been in operation now for over four years, and the question referred to the committee for discussion has long been virtually decided. The London solicitors, as a body, have refused to adopt the Liverpool practice, and it is, at least, doubtful whether they will be induced to alter a decision, no doubt arrived at in most cases after individual consideration of the arguments freely urged on both sides at the time of the issue of the Order, by the report of any committee or even the recommendation of the council. However, the committee can do no harm by threshing decision of Mr. Justice CHITTY in the "pre-historic boat case," considered that he had "a lawful possession, good against all the world of, and therefore the property in," the remains. He promised to give the coffin to the Maidstone Museum, and "assigned his right" to the skeleton to a local surgeon. But the coffin and its contents, when discovered, had been imprudently removed to the mortuary in the parish churchyard, and it is stated that the vicar now refuses to part with them, and intends to have them interred in the churchyard. We presume that the vicar's contention is based on the common law obligation to provide decent burial; but there appear to be some difficulties in his way. In the first place, the obligation, as usually laid down, does not extend beyond the person under whose roof the death takes place, and applies only to the burial of remains "offending the feelings or endangering the health of the living. If it extends to skeletons and remains fifteen hundred years old, the British Museum and the College of Surgeons will have much to answer for. In the next place, it seems somewhat difficult to prove that the Roman lady was a parishioner, and unless she was, the burial of her remains in the churchyard would be an invasion of the rights of the living parishioners, and would require to be assented to by the churchwardens on their behalf. Again, who is to bear the cost of the re-interment? The statutory provisions enabling the expense to be thrown on the poor rate do not appear to be applicable to the case of the re-interment of remains supposed to be those of "a lady of rank." And, lastly, as the property in the Roman lady and her coffin appears to be in the owner of the soil in which they were discovered or his assignee, the vicar would seem to render himself liable to proceedings if he should insist on interring them. THE DECISION of Mr. Justice KEKEWICH in Allcard v. Skinner contains an exposition of the law as to gifts made under undue influence, and renders it in one point at least more definite-viz., as to the nature of the competent independent advice which is allowed to be set off against such influence. The donor in the case was a sister in a convent who subsequently left it and wished to recall her gifts. The donee was the lady at the head of the convent, who took, of course, not for herself, but for the sisterhood. The relation between the parties was thus a religious one, and it was held that so subtle and so strong is religious influence that a person surrounded by it day by day in conventual life could not but be unduly affected by it. The influence, then, being so strong that the donor by herself was not a free person, how could the gift be supported? Clearly by re-enforcing her in some way so as to put her in the position of a free person. It was settled by Rhodes v. Bate (14 W. R. 292, 1 Ch. 252) that one way of doing this was to give her competent independent advice. The present case decides that such advice need not be legal advice, and that, if given, it is sufficient to save the gift for the donee, even though the influence on the donor be so strong as to make it certain that the advice will not be taken. As to the first point, Mr. Justice KEKEWICH thought that, in a case like the present, involving a conflict of reason and emotion, the advice of a prudent layman would be better than that of a lawyer (why, we are at a loss to imagine), and such advice had in fact been given.
