We venture to repeat again the suggestion we have several times made, LONDON, AUGUST 6, 1887. and which has been made by the Council of the Incorporated Law Society, that the most satisfactory course will be to refer the draft CURRENT TOPICS. Bill, in good time before its introduction, to the consideration of a committee of conveyancing counsel and solicitors. There is very A NOTICE issued from Mr. Justice Kay's chambers repeats the little good in sending round the draft to individual eminent anů announcement in the general Vacation Notice, that the chambers busy members of the profession ; what is wanted is a small body of that judge will be open during the Long Vacation for vacation of these individuals, bound to meet and thresh out together the business, and that all applications to the Vacation Judge in provisions of the draft. chambers must be made at those chambers. Presumably this only applies to chancery business. ONE MIGHT HAVE SUPPOSED that Re Morritt (35 W. R. 277, 18 Q. B. D. 222; discussed, ante, p. 137), which decided that the power of sale conferred on mortgagees by the Conveyancing Act, MR. JUSTICE Kay announced in court on Thursday last that he i881, was repugnant to the Bills of Sale Act Amendment Act bas no arrears of adjourned summonses, nor any arrears at cham, of 1882, would have entirely put a stop to the practice of bers. There were several motions in Friday's list, and there will attempting to incorporate into mortgage bills of sale the be several petitions for Saturday. Subject to this interlocutory whole business, the learned judge is resuming the hearing of witness under that power; or any part of the statutory provisions as to sales but it seems that this is not the actions for the remainder of the sittings. case. Lord Justice Fey, in delivering the judgment of himself and Lord Justice BOWEN in Watkins v. Evans (18 Q. B. D., at p. 379), is reported to have said :-" The decision of the THIS DAY (Saturday) will be the ninth of the days appointed by majority of the court in Ex parte Official Receiver, Re Morritt, Mr. Justice KEKEwich for the bearing in court of Manchester and has, we conceive, laid down this rule, that the power of sale given Liverpool District Registry cases. We are unable to discover that the by the Conveyancing Act of 1881 does apply to a bill of sale in cases heard during those days have averaged more than one a day. the statutory form, unless where, under the power given by the This is truly a great result from all the trouble which has been statutory form to add clauses for the maintenance of the security, taken to accommodate district registry suitors. some other provision is introduced which shews that the power of sale given by the act of 1881 is unnecessary; and, further, that a power to seize, with the power of sale which thereupon arises, is such a provision, and accordingly repels the introduction of the Mr. JUSTICE KEKEWICH, who has established a well-deserved statutory power of sale." This statement as to the effect of the reputation for rapidity in clearing off his list, has at last decision in Re Morritt is clearly incorrect. As pointed out, ante, p. encountered his match in a dispute between two London gas 138, it was held in that case by the Master of the Rolls and Corron, companies, the hearing of which commenced on Thursday.

The the forcë appears to be to keep up the siege to the end of the point on which Corron, LINDLEY, and Bowen, L.JJ., differed from the Master of the Rolls and LOPES, L.J., was as to how the mortgagee under a bill of sale had power to sell; the three former judges considering that he could sell under his common law rights IN ANNOUNCING, on Monday last, the abandonment of the Land after seizure and waiting for a reasonable time (i.e. five days as menTransfer Bill, Mr. W.

Sulin is stated to have remarked that, it tioned in the Act); the two latter judges considering that he could had been received generally with great interest in the country, ,” sell under a power conferred by the Act of 1882. We hope that and that the Government “ had certainly hoped to have passed'it the misconception appearing in the judgment in Watkins v. Evan? into law this session." It is fortunate for the Government, and as to the effect of the decision in Re Morritt will be finally put at stil more so for the draftsmen, that this hope has not been realizad, end to by the judgments in Calvert v.

We are of so much interest and importance that they deserve to be have always contended, and, what is of more importance, Sir quoted. He said : James Bacon, when on the bench, considered (Re Godfrey, 33 “When I first remember Westminster Hall and the City of London I W. R. 23), that the so-called "two-thirds” rule was not a hard commercial law it was impossible to obtain. You had the first merchants and fast rule binding on the court. Three or four years ago, in a of the City serving as jurors, and though they were not called commercial somewhat elaborate consideration of the subject, we traced the judges, they were in truth commercial judges. You had the direction of history of the so-called rule from its first enunciation, or supposed ibe law from the judge, and you had sitting in the jury box, as a general enunciation, in a remark made by Lord Cottenham in Stickney v. rule, twelve special jurymen of the City of London, all of them engaged Sevell (1 My. & Cr. 13), and we attempted to shew that this that that is so now. I quite admit that a change has come over the remark had been misapprehended, and that the so-called “rule," system by reason of an alteration, rightly or wrongly, of the jury system. if considered as a hard and fast rule, had very little authority to London, and those like them all over the country, rather complained that had, in Fry v. Tapson (33 W. R. 113), attempted to re-establish, and I believe, if the truth were known, the special jurors of the city of support it. That was so then ; but we wrote before Mr. Justice Kay special jury panel ought to be somewhat wider than it was. However, had specially approved, the doctrine in its most stringent form. The the fact is as I have stated it ; and I quite admit that under the changing opinion of the House of Lords on the matter was expressed on circumstances it may be necessary to make some alteration of the system.” Monday in the following terms:—“As a general rule, the law Everyone who knows the facts will admit that there has been a required of a trustee no higher degree of diligence in the execution change, though everyone will not admit that it is wholly due to of his office than a man of ordinary prudence would exercise in the the cause mentioned by the Lord Chancellor.

But no change in the metropolitan courts investments of that class which were attended with hazard. So will meet the wishes of the present memorialists. They long as he acted in the honest observance of these limitations the want to have cheap and speedy commercial tribunals at their general rule already stated would apply. The courts of equity had doors. They have the common sense to recognize the necessity indicated and given effect to certain general principles for the for the presidency of a lawyer judge, but they insist on his being guidance of trustees in lending money upon the security of real assisted by commercial judges, and they propose that the tribunal estate. Thus it, had been laid down that, in the case of ordinary shall either be, or be connected with, the county courts, and that agricultural land, the margin ought not to be less than one-third appeals from the decisions of the tribunals shall be allowed on of its value; whereas in cases where the subject of the security questions of law, but not on matters of fact. We think that the derived its value from buildings erected upon the land, or its use memorialists make a mistake in insisting on commercial judges; for trade purposes, the margin ought not to be less than one-half. commercial assessors sitting with a judge would seem to answer He did not think these had been laid down as hard and fast limits every reasonable purpose, and would obviate the objection which up to which trustees would be invariably safe, and beyond which arises at once to a court of one lawyer and two commercial men they could never he in safety to lend, but as indicating the lowest viz., that the latter would overrule the lawyer on questions of margins which, in ordinary circumstances, a careful investor of law, and so lead to endless appeals.
