WE UNDERSTAND that a Bill, promoted by the Council of the Incorporated Law Society, will soon be introduced into Parliament to provide against the results likely to arise from the decision of the Court of Appeal in Ex parte Stanford, Re Barber (34 W. R. 507, 17 Q. B. D. 259), in which case, it will be remembered, a bill of sale was held to be void in consequence of the grantor being. expressed to assign "as beneficial owner." The form of bill of sale containing these words had, previously to the decision in Re Barber, been largely adopted by the profession, and had been recommended for use by eminent conveyancing counsel; and it seems to be a great hardship that the holders of the securities made in this form should lose their money on account of a mere technicality. What appears to be required is a short Act making The Solicitors' Journal and Reporter. valid all bills of sale entered into before the date of the decision LONDON, MAY 14, 1887. CURRENT TOPICS. THE LAND TRANSFER BILL was appointed for committee in the THE LAND TRANSFER BILL was appointed for committee in the House of Lords on Tuesday last, but this stage was postponed on Monday until the 17th inst. It is understood that, as the result of the criticisms and suggestions which have been received since the Bill was circulated, a large number of amendments are likely to be proposed. THERE IS A RUMOUR in well-informed quarters that the consent of the Treasury to the measures necessary for the appointment of a new judge of the Chancery Division is made conditional on a sufficient saving being effected in some of the legal departments to provide the amount of his salary; and this may possibly explain the raison d'être of certain inquiries now in progress. THE GENERAL ORDER which we printed last week, which empowers the Assistant-Paymaster-General to accept India £8 108. for India £4 per Cent. Stock in his hands, will take effect on a large amount of the latter Stock. In the last statement of securities in the hands of the Paymaster, it appears that he had then in court £3,852,039 India £4 per Cent. Stock. That sum would approximate to the amount at the present time in the hands of the Paymaster, as the court has ceased to allow investments in that Stock. THERE APPEARS to be some misapprehension among solicitors as to the proper mode of delivering papers for the use of a judge. On several occasions recently, when Mr. Justice NORTH has asked for the minutes of the proposed judgment upon the hearing of a short cause, he has been informed by counsel that a copy of the minutes has been left for his use. Upon inquiry it has turned out that the copy has been left by the solicitor, not with the judge's elerk, but with Mr. GLOSTER, the cause clerk. It may be well, therefore, to remind solicitors that documents intended for the use of a judge should be left with his own clerk. THE RUMOURS Current with respect to the proposed amalgamation of the work of the several departments of the Chancery registrars, chief clerks, and taxing masters, point to a determination on the part of the authorities to effect such an amalgamation. We understand that the Lord Chancellor has appointed a committee, consisting of Mr. KENNETH MUIR MACKENZIE, Mr. L. L. PEMBERTON, Mr. CHARLES BURNEY, Mr. JOHN V. LONGBOURNE, Mr. BUDD, and Mr. RYLAND, for the purpose of devising the means of carrying out the report of Lord SELBORNE'S committee on the subject above referred to. It is understood that more than one scheme is being discussed by this committee, but it is obvious that, having regard to vested interests and the prospective changes of practice, they have a most difficult task before them, and it would seem that, in order referred to (April 17, 1886) by providing that they should be construed as if the words "as beneficial owner " had not been inserted. The Act should not, of course, affect any proceedings under a judgment delivered before the passing of the Act. There seems to be a widespread impression that bills of sale are iniquitous engines used by money-lenders for the purpose of extortion, and be borne in mind that in most of the manufacturing towns large no doubt in a good many small cases this is the case; but it should loans are often wanted and obtained on trade machinery and plant. IT IS TOO EARLY yet to venture any very confident opinion as to the probability of the Land Transfer Bill passing into law this session; but with Whitsuntide near at hand, and with the extremely backward state of Government business in the House of Commons, the chances are certainly against it. We do not think that a year's delay would be matter of regret. The Bill, as it stands, bears signs of rather hasty preparation; there has not been time for the deliberate consideration which a measure so far reaching in its consequences ought to receive; detailed criticism on points connected with the working of the Bill is almost impossible until the rules have been drafted, and the imperfections of the Act of 1875, which forms the basis of the Bill, have probably not yet fully come to light. The best thing which could happen would be that the Bill should this session be referred to a select committee, and that next session it should be split into two Bills-one dealing with the changes in the law of real property, and the other devoted to registration, the latter consolidating such portions of the Act of 1875 as it is considered desirable to retain. Clause 2 renders MORTGAGEES will find themselves subject to an additional liability if the Tithe Rent-Charge Bill now before Parliament passes into law. By clause 10 the Bill defines "owner" to mean the " person for the time being receiving the rack-rent of the land, whether on bis own account or as trustee for any other person, or who would so receive it if the lands were let at a rack-rent." the owner for the time being personally liable to the payment of the rent-charge and all arrears thereof. By sub-clause 4 of clause 3, judgments for payment of the arrears cannot be enforced against trustees for public or private purposes, but only against the property held in trust. It is clear that a mortgagee is not a trustee with the the meaning of this subclause. It appears to be also clear that the provision in sub-clause (2) (a.) of clause 10-that "where more than one person is owner," "each of such persons shall be severally liable for payment of the tithe rent-charge, but the person paying the same may, within two years after payment, recover from the other the just proportion which such other person ought to contribute "— does not apply to the case of a mortgagee in possession.
