Fraser." It would not be fair for Mr. Fraser and others to sit as judges and the under-sheriffs to appear only as witnesses. He (Mr. Longmore) was sure the under-sheriffs were not those obstructionists and performers of everything that was wrong which seemed to be the opinion in some quarters, but they would be prepared to give that assistance which they hoped would lead to some improvement. facilities for registration of title under the existing Acts, and world bring into publicity defects and flaws of title which would otherwise never appear. This would lead to many unfounded claims and consequent litigation. Moreover, the disclosure of all transactions and incumbrances would operate injuriously, and would certainly be distasteful and unpopular with the present proprietors. Mr. FRERE Seconded, reminding the meeting that this inquiry and It was considered that the work of getting all titles upon the Register in report would not be anything final, the object being to place upon the the first instance would be a gigantic undertaking requiring an army of committee persons who were capable of giving the society the best in-skilled officials, and, even assuming the initial difficulty to have been surformation. Surely that would be best arrived at by adopting the amend-mounted, there would occur periodically, as at quarter days, times of great ment. Eleven seemed to him to be a more handy and useful complement than twelve, there being, of course, the possibility of having a majority. Mr. BLYTH said he had no complaint to make with reference to the under-sheriffs, but he simply wished that the question might be investigated with the object of effecting an improvement in the law. He asked them not to add to the committee a sufficient representation of the vested interests to imperil the value of its report. The committee should be, as far as possible, quite impartial, and if the sheriffs wished to have one or two nominees upon it they should have them, and should be at liberty to call evidence to put their case before the committee. Mr. KIMBER supported the amendment. It was only fair and just that the under-sheriffs should be represented. The PRESIDENT put the amendment as follows:-"That the committee consist of five members of the council, to be nominated by the president of the society, three members of the society, to be nominated by the under-sheriffs, and three to be nominated by Mr. Fraser." The amendment was carried; sixty-four voting in its favour, and nine against. It was then adopted as a substantive motion. Mr. FRASER then nominated Mr. Blyth, Mr. Munton, and himself to serve on the committee. Mr. LONGMORE nominated Mr. C. Gepp (Chelmsford), Mr. F. Scudamore (Maidstone), and himself to represent the under-sheriffs. CHANCERY DIVISION. The following notice of motion by Mr. MUNTON was postponed until the next meeting:-"That, in the opinion of this meeting, the appointment of a sixth judge in the Chancery Division is not only imperatively needed, but that the hearing of all chancery causes (with special exceptions) should cease to be associated with any particular judge, and be taken in their order (as set down) by two or more courts constantly sitting for trials only." PROVINCIAL MEETINGS. The following notice of motion by Mr. MELVILL GREEN was also postponed until the next meeting:-"That a committee be appointed to consider and report on the arrangements of the October meetings, and particularly as to choice of subjects; selection of readers and speakers, limiting length of speeches, and giving right of reply; time of distributing prints of the papers; previous publication of the programme of the meeting; admission to the debates of solicitors not yet members; and all other points likely to increase the interest and beneficial influence of these meetings.' The proceedings then terminated. LAW ASSOCIATION. At a meeting of the directors, held at the hall of the Incorporated Law Society, Chancery-lane, on Thursday, the 5th inst.-the following being present-viz., Mr. Boodle (chairman), and Messrs. Collison, Desborough, jun., Hine-Haycock, Sawtell, Sidney Smith, and Arthur Carpenter (secretary)-the ordinary general business was transacted. THE SHROPSHIRE LAW SOCIETY. THE LAND TRANSFER BILL. A special meeting of this society was held at the society's room, Shrewsbury, on the 29th ult. There were present Mr. T. M. How (president), in the chair; Messrs. E. Hodges (Fisher & Hodges, Newport, vice-president), E. B. Potts (Broseley), R. Marston (Ludlow), J. Bidlake (Wellington), G. G. Warren (Market Drayton), W. C. Tyrrell (Anderson & Co., Ludlow), H. J. Osborne (Shifnal), E. C. Peele, J. H. Sprott, H. C. Clarke, R. de G. Benson, R. T. Hughes, W. M. How, C. Payne (Shrewsbury), W. H. Bott (Oswestry), H. P. Cox (Wem), and T. H. Hignett (hon. sec.). Letters of apology for non-attendance were received from Messrs. H. Lee (Brookes & Lee, Whitchurch), W. P. Gordon (Gordon & Nicholls, Bridgnorth), and E. Williams (Longueville & Co., Oswestry). Messrs. P. H. Minshall and M. B. Lawford (Oswestry), Cecil Potts (Shrewsbury), and R. Newill (Wellington), were elected members. A donation of £10 10s. was voted to the Solicitors' Benevolent Association as a Jubilee offering. The hon. secretary reported the purchase by the Library Sub-Committee of the late Mr. Charles Chandler's series of law reports. The subject of the Land Transfer Bill, now before the House of Lords, was introduced by the president, and considered and discussed at great length. In the absence of information as to the rules to be made for carrying the scheme into effect, the society did not feel in a position to offer any very definite opinion as to the probability of its successful working. While wishful to co-operate in any improvement in the law which would render conveyancing simpler and cheaper, they felt that there were serious objections to making registration of titles compulsory, inasmuch as it would be very costly, without any corresponding advantage to the existing land owners, who had shown no disposition to avail themselves of the present pressure involving probably much delay and inconvenience. This would lead to additional expense and end in general dissatisfaction. To transfer the multitudinous transactions daily taking place in land from the existing conveyancing practitioners to an official board would be a serious undertaking, and the experience of the way in which business is transacted by such boards does not in the least lead to the belief that the work will be effected either better, more cheaply, or more expeditiously than at present. On the contrary, the red-tapeism of a public office-and the official fees necessarily payable-would probably increase the cost, as well as cause great delay, especially in the numerous small and intricate transactions daily requiring the attention of the conveyancer. It was also considered that the president of the Incorporated Law Society should be associated with the Lord Chancellor in forming the Land Transfer Board, which should consist, not of mere Government officials, but of persons having a practical knowledge of conveyancing, and that one of the conveyancing counsel of the Court of Chancery, the president of the Incorporated Law Society, and the president of one of the large provincial law societies should also be associated with the Lord Chancellor in framing the rules under the Act. It was also considered that to vest real estate on the death of the owner in his personal representatives was an unnecessary interference with the right of a testator to appoint his own trustee; that the abolition of estates tail was practically of little importance; and that while in principle there was no objection to dividing an intestate's real estate amongst his next of kin as if it were personalty, the society saw no adequate reason for the projected change. Indeed, the sub-division of small portions of real estate among a large number of persons would, in many instances, render it of little value to anyone, and necessarily increase largely the cost of dealing with it. In this respect the change would press with some hardship upon small proprietors, to which class persons dying without a will generally belong. Resolutions in accordance with these views were passed unanimously, and ordered to be transmitted to the Incorporated Law Society. The meeting concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

House of Commons on the 29th ult. Mr. Justice Stephen, the Treasurer, and the Masters of the Bench of the Inner Temple entertained at dinner on Wednesday the Prince of Wales, Treasurer of the Middle Temple. It has been found necessary to give up the ball intended to be given by the Inner Temple on May 26th, the number of members of the Inn who wished to be present being so large that the Masters of the Bench did not feel justified in incurring on account of the Inn the expense which would have been necessary. It is stated that at an inquest held by Mr. A. F. Vulliamy, coroner for Ipswich, last week, the Coroner requested the representatives of the Press who were in attendance to withdraw. They refused to do so, and the jury also stated that they should decline to serve unless the Court were an open The Coroner threatened to fine the jurymen, and the chief constable, at his request, proceeded to remove the reporters by force. The jury persisting in refusing to receive evidence unless the reporters were admitted, the Coroner adjourned the inquiry for a week. one. Mr. G. B. Gregory writes to the Times to enquire whether under the Bill of the Lord Chancellor, which provides for an absolute title to land being this title is to be free from the claims to succession duty, which can be carried acquired after five years' registration and on certain notices being given, back to the date of the Act of 1853. He adds that "If that is the construction of the Bill, it would no doubt confer a great boon upon the purchasers of landed property, and those who act for them, but I do not think that this would be the effect of the Bill as it now stands, or that such effect is contemplated. I venture to state that without some provision to meet the point I have raised, many persons would find that the proposed legislation had only been a delusion in respect of it." In the House of Commons on the 28th ult., in answer to Mr. Howell, Mr. W. H. Smith said that the question of a cheap edition of the Statutes had been under the consideration of the Statute Law Revision Committee, and they had submitted to the Treasury the following proposals:-That a revised edition of the statutes be undertaken, of convenient size, to be commenced at once, in which case the first volume can probably be brought published volume by volume as revision is completed; that the work be out this year. The committee believed that such an edition could be supplied at a price not exceeding eight guineas for the complete set. The Treasury were about to give their sanction to the proposals of the committee. At the Swansea assizes, Mr. Justice Mathew, in charging the grand jury alluded to the proposed scheme for altering the existing assize arrangements should be held in every county for the purpose of trying prisoners, and that in England and Wales, by which it was suggested that three gaol deliveries the present system of grouping counties for this purpose should be abolished. danger should be tried in his own county among the people who knew him, There appeared to be a sentiment that a man whose life and liberty were in and with that sentiment the present administration appeared to be clearly in sympathy, at any rate as regarded its application to England. The case of Wales, happily, differed somewhat from that of England, where there were few counties in which there were no prisoners to be tried, whereas it frequently happened in the agricultural districts of North and South Wales there were no prisoners for trial at the assizes. As the holding of assizes in every county entailed great inconvenience upon the grand and petty jurors, the officers of the Court, and others whose duty it was to attend, it certainly appeared to be a hardship upon them that they should be required to be present where there was nothing to do, and he ventured to recommend that it would be desirable to make the simple and obvious rule that Judges should not attend where there were no prisoners for trial. The London and Westminster Bank, Limited, are instructed by the Government of the Cape of Good Hope to make a further offer to the holders advertisement, into Cape of Good Hope 4 per cent. Consolidated Stock, of outstanding debentures of conversion, on the terms specified in their having fifty years to run, but redeemable after thirty years at the option of the Cape Government, on giving twelve months' notice to the stockholders. The bulk of the debentures which it is proposed to convert are subject to annual drawings at par, increasing from year to year on the accumulative principle. 18 Saturday... 14 Ma Date. No. 1.
