He mentioned the late Lord Justice KNIGHT BRUCE as an instance of a lawyer who frequently executed deeds which he did not previously read through. It appears that the Lord Justice openly stated that such was his practice. Though at first sight it looks a little strange that a lawyer should affix his name to a document without acquainting himself with its contents, it must be remembered that in the great majority of cases deeds are executed in the presence of solicitors whose duty it is to protect the interests of their clients and to state and explain to them the purport and effect of the deeds, and no doubt the learned Lord Justice appreciated better than a layman the responsibility of his solicitors. The Solicitors' Journal and Reporter. between the Treasury and a local solicitor employed by the Director THE INFORMAL INVITATIONS to the country members of the Incorporated Law Society to attend the Jubilee Festivities were issued last week, and it may be anticipated that the acceptances will be very numerous. The entertainments include, as already mentioned in these columns, a dinner, ball, and theatrical representations at one or more of the London theatres. These are the only attractions officially recognized, but it so happens that the period selected for the festivities is the Ascot week. This is one of those very strange and unaccountable coincidences which do sometimes occur. We feel assured that neither the Council of the Incorporated Law Society nor the Grand Committee can have taken official cognizance of this event, but we think it very likely that many of their guests will bear it in mind. THE IMPERIAL INSTITUTE appeal has been duly sent to the members of the bar by or on behalf of the Attorney-General, and a committee of leading counsel has been formed "to promote the success of the Imperial Institute," which expression, we suppose, being interpreted, means to consider how contributions can best be raised. We venture to offer a suggestion to the learned gentlemen whose names appear on this committee. Let them each devote a day's earnings to the object they so earnestly desire to "promote.' Fix upon a day, which should be about the commencement of the next sittings, and should not be a Saturday, and let certain energetic juniors be detailed to sit in the vestibule of the chambers of the learned members of the committee and collect, for the benefit of the Institute, in neat boxes labelled "Disgorgement Day," all the fees paid during that day. The result would in all probability be so extremely satisfactory as to render it quite unnecessary for the other members of the bar to put their hands in their pockets. A CROSS-EXAMINING COUNSEL asked a witness in a case before Mr. Justice CHITTY some little time ago, whether it was possible that he (the witness) could have signed a deed without first reading it through. The learned judge said it was by no means a matter of course that a man read every deed through before he A SINGULAR CASE has been decided this week affecting the relations of Public Prosecutions. These are governed by the regulations under the Prosecution of Offences Acts, 1879 and 1884, published last year (30 SOLICITORS' JOURNAL, 324), by clause 9 of which it is provided that "The Director of Public Prosecutions may employ any solicitor to act as his agent in the conduct of a prosecution, certify the amount which he finds to be reasonable and proper to and, after examination of the costs and charges of such agent, shall be paid." In the case in question (Re Parkinson: In the Matter of a Prosecution by the Treasury, Reg. v. Gershon), the facts, as stated in the report, were that a firm of local solicitors was employed to prosecute for a felony and for a misdemeanor under the Debtors Act. In the result the charge of felony was given up, the defendant pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor, and an arrangement was made by which he was to pay £80 to his creditors, and £198 to the solicitors for costs, and was not to be called up for judgment. The costs as against the Treasury were taxed at £101. The question arose as to the surplus. The local solicitors were naturally willing to give the Treasury credit for £101, but claimed to retain the difference, alleging that various expenses, including the payment of witnesses, would have to come out of it. The Treasury relied upon the fact of agency; they had, indeed, nothing to pay under the rule, but, none the less, they contended that the relation of agency, being once constituted, existed for all purposes. Hence it was argued that the local solicitors were bound to account for all money received, and to hand over the balance, after they had been properly remunerated, to their principal, the Treasury. It appeared that no objection would be made to paying any costs properly incurred over and above the taxed costs. These would include the expenses of witnesses, who, it seemed, were usually paid by the local authorities; and possibly the solicitors would be entitled to claim for services in connection with the arrangement with the creditors. The court, in giving judgment for the payment over of the surplus, seemed to be largely influenced by the nature of the transaction, and by the assumed danger of leaving the local solicitor without control in such matters. But, apart from this, it would appear (assuming that all the facts are disclosed in the report) quite sufficient to rest the matter upon the fact of agency. THERE IS a recent decision of Mr. Justice CHITTY'S in Re Countess of Dudley's and London and North-Western Railway Co.'s Contract (ante, p. 317) which suggests and illustrates more omissions and oversights in the Settled Land Act, 1882. The point raised for decision was shortly this: When guardians have been appointed under section 60 to exercise the powers of the Act on behalf of an infant tenant for life, there being no trustees of the settlement, is it Lecessary also to appoint trustees for the purpose of receiving notice under section 45? Mr. Justice CHITTY decided that the appointment of trustees was not necessary. He said that if there had been trustees of the settlement for the purposes of the Act it would clearly have been unnecessary to appoint trustees for the purpose of receiving notice. In that case, of course, the trustees would have been the persons to exercise the powers of a tenant for life on behalf of the infant, and it would have been superfluous for them to give notice to themselves. So far so good. It appears reasonable to suppose that the framers of the Act may have thought the class of persons who are intrusted with the important functions of trustees for the purposes of the Act might be safely |
