The Daily Express says, with reference to the deceased :-"In his judicial capacity his conduct afforded unqualified satisfaction. Although he was understood to have strong political views, and took a great interest in the discussion of the land and agrarian questions, his administration of his office was marked by scrupulous im partiality and independence. His judgments were never questioned on the ground of prejudice or bias, their legal soundness stood the test of appellate supervision. He discharged efficiently the duties of a judge in two counties where parties are sharply divided, and he enjoyed the conIfidence of all who had business in his court. His loss will be regretted in the counties in which he administered justice. APPOINTMENTS. Mr. RICHARD SAUL FERGUSON, barrister, has been appointed Chancellor of the Diocese of Carlisle.

Rollit has brought in a Bill to provide for the registration of deeds of arrangement, assignment, and composition with creditors. The report of the Land Commission for England for 1886 states that the number of cases disposed of in various departments of the commission was 1,444 and of fresh applications 1,383, while no fewer than 34,000 letters and documents were received. According to the 34th report of the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales, just issued, the board made 377 orders last year for the appointment or removal of trustees, for the establishment of schemes for the regulation of charities, or for vesting their real estate. Joseph Edward Curteis, solicitor and ex-clerk to the East Stonehouse Local Board, who absconded from Plymouth in September last, leaving behind him defalcations in the local board accounts of nearly £15,000, and who was arrested at Calcutta on New Year's Day, was committed for trial on Wednesday on eleven charges of forgery, two of embezzlement, and one of larceny. At the Clerkenwell Police-court, on Wednesday, Frederick Holland, of Beech-street, Barbican, was summoned at the instance of the Incorporated Law Society for that he did on November 5 and 13 wilfully and falsely pretend to be a solicitor, contrary to the statute. Mr. Humphreys prosecuted, and Mr. Swaine defended. It appeared from Mr Humphreys' opening statement and the evidence for the prosecution that in June last the defendant called upon James Betteridge, a greengrocer, of Liverpoolroad, Islington, who wished to eject a tenant named Smith from a house he owned. He said that he had been told Betteridge wanted legal assistance, and he was prepared to carry out the ejectment proceedings. From what he said, Betteridge was led to suppose that the defendant was a solicitor, and he at once paid him a guinea on account. Various legal proceedings followed, and Betteridge paid to the defendant in all £18. The particular offences charged against the defendant were that he received £1 10s. from Betteridge on November 5 and £2 on November 13, which Betteridge now said he paid in the belief that the defendant was a solici tor. It was further said that the proceedings proved abortive-in fact, Mr. Humphreys said, the action was premature, and in settlement of the proceedings Betteridge had to pay some £23. Mr. Swaine, in defence, said the defendant had acted throughout as a solicitor's clerk, he being in the employment of a solicitor, who really had carried out the proceedings. Mr. Hosack remarked that he had never said so to Betteridge. Had he done so he would have acted legally. Mr. Henry Hand then went into the witness-box for the defence. He said he was a solicitor, but was not now in practice. He produced his certificate for 1886. During last year the defendant was in his employment. In June the defendant introduced the case of Betteridge v. Smith, and although he left the witness's service in the following September he carried out the proceedings to the end. The defendant was now in the employment of another solicitor. imposed a fine of £5 in each case.-Times. Mr. Hosack Mr. Justice CHITTY.
