The reason he wrote the paper was this. There were two schemes placed gone on year after year and had increased in interest, and there was need for before the remuneration tribunal—the London (South of England) scheme fresh regulations. The subjects appeared to be selected in a haphazard way, and the Liverpool (North of England). The latter was accepted, and the and it might be better for the council to select a few subjects of special London scheme was rejected. If they took the scheme which had been interest.

If they took the Liverpool scheme without THE CLUB AGAIN. the Liverpool custom, the thing would be reduced to absolute nonsense.

Sales were the society?" conducted in London so totally differently from the way they were conducted Mr. MELVILL GREEN rose to order. He did not think that the members in the country, that there was really no parallel between the two cases, and were entitled to get up and ask the president his opinion upon any particular all they, as solicitors, could desire to do was to do that which was in the question. He begged that the president would not answer Mr. Ford's interest, not altogether of their own pockets, but principally of those of their question. It seemed to him not a proper question, and he did not see why clients; and one of the things which the committee must set itself most the president should be liable to be cross-examined by any member who seriously to consider was whether it was, not for the advantage of the chose to do so. solicitor, but for the advantage of the client, that this division of labour in The President: I am much obliged to you, Mr. Green, but I have no London, which had been allowed to grow up, and was now in force, should objection to answering the question.

This is my personal experience. As far as the members of the divide the remuneration for the sale of land," and that there was some council are concerned I really do not know, for I have not asked them their reason to see whether the remuneration should not be further reduced. Mr. Ford suggested that the question was now so important that the tinually' at the club, I should judge that, at all events, so far, as they are opinion ; but, I may say, for the members of the council whom I meet conreport ought to go to the general body of members, instead of to the council. concerned, they find it, in the terms of this inquiry,“ beneficial" and " bene Mr. Guibile, in reply, referring to Mr. Addison's remarks, said that he ficial to the general body of members of the society.” As to the estimated had never heard a more injurious doctrine started than the suggestion that value of the premises I cannot answer that, because we have no separate the society should, before appointing a committee of the society to consider estimate of the value of the premises occupied by the club.
