LAW SOCIETIES.

HUDDERSFIELD INCORPORATED LAW SOCIETY.

The annual meeting of this society was held on Monday evening, Mr. S. LEAROYD (president) in the chair. After the report and balance-sheet had been adopted, the retiring president (Mr. Learoyd) delivered an address on commercial education, and the relation of legal training to it. In the course of it Mr. Learoyd pointed out the interest of the question to solicitors, and the importance of it to the community, and said that anything that they could do to promote their local industry must benefit the district and promote the interests of the legal profession. It was a misfortune that their commercial life was regarded more as a trade or occupation than a science, and the question of profit had been the consideration more than the study of the principles on which commercial prosperity depended. After referring at some length to the weakness of our commercial training, and to the fact that the strength of our foreign competitors rested upon their superior commercial education, the president referred to the various systems of commercial and technical education abroad, and pointed out the comprehensive nature of the studies of the pupils. It was, he said, almost a chronic habit in Huddersfield to send deputations to other towns to see what they were doing, but why should not Huddersfield in this matter take the lead and shew it to be possible to tack on to a system of technical education one of commercial education, and form classes for teaching it? It was obvious that a knowledge of commercial law was at the very foundation of a commercial education, and without it such a course would be useless and impossible. As to who was to teach the law in these commercial schools he was prepared to throw out a challenge to our commercial and technical tribunals-namely, That if they could provide the classes, the society he represented would, so far as the legal part was concerned, find the teachers from among the professional men of Huddersfield who were thoroughly capable of undertaking the duty. What had the profession done for the good of the town? Practically nothing, as a society and a profession. Here, as it seemed to him, was their opportunity, and if commercial classes were formed in connection with the Chamber of Commerce and Technical School, let the society be prepared to undertake the legal part of the training; and then let the town set an example to other centres of industry, and shew that they were in earnest in removing from their commercial life the stigma which existed upon it. After pointing out the lamentable ignorance there was among commercial men of commercial law, Mr. Learoyd said that, so far as he knew, England was about the only civilized country in which that education was not afforded. Surely it was time for them to realize their deficiencies, and to set to work to remedy them. In conclusion he moved:-"That the Huddersfield Incorporated Law Society begs to call the attention of the Chamber of Commerce and the Technical School of Huddersfield to the question of commercial education, and begs to offer that in the event of an attempt being made to impart this education this society will be glad to afford the necessary professors and teachers to undertake the legal part of the training.'

Mr. HENRY BARKER, in seconding the resolution, said that all that it committed them to was that if the authorities of the town would undertake to supply this general necessity in the matter of a commercial education, the society would see that the scheme did not come to grief for want of instruction in the legal element.

After a few words from Mr. Sykes, the resolution was passed. Mr. C. MILLS moved:-That in the opinion of this society a large extension of the county court system is desirable. He found that some sixteen years ago he seconded at the annual meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce a resolution in favour of extending the jurisdiction of the county courts. He pointed out that the system had been extended in various directions, and he was perfectly satisfied that with another extension, subject to the limits as to value or as to removal into the superior courts under certain conditions, the commercial community would greatly benefit. Although the subject had been discussed seventeen or eighteen years throughout the country he never heard of a single objection to the extension of the system, and, indeed, the Judicature Commission which sat in 1870 or 1871 recommended it, but the recommendation had not been adopted.

Mr. J. H. DRANSFIELD Seconded the resolution.

Judge SNAGGE, who supported the resolution, said he had listened with great interest to the able, instructive, and suggestive address of Mr. Learoyd, but he confessed he listened with some slight feeling of alarm to the suggestion that commercial men should be instructed in the principles of commercial law. It was in accordance with the spirit of the age and the modern tendency towards improved methods of illumination, but he trembled to think what would be the consequences for the judges, and he shuddered when he thought of the intensity that would be given to the fierce light of criticism that beat upon the judicial bench. At present, when he sat in court, he had before him critics-able and learned, but friendly-but what could it be when, in addition, he had row after row of hard-headed, long-headed commercial men fresh from the lectures of his friend, Mr. Learoyd-half of them disappointed suitors, all of them more or less inimici curia; all of them fresh from the footnotes of the last edition of Addison on Contracts, Byles upon Bills, or Benjamin on Sales. However, the judges must suffer for the public welfare-and he entirely agreed that the proposal to instruct commercial men engaged in large and important commercial transactions, in the principles of commercial law, was a valuable suggestion, and under proper regulations was one which was well worthy of being tried at least as an experiment. Referring to the resolution immediately before the meeting, he said he had some

hesitation and a feeling of delicacy in dealing with it, because of his position as judge, but it would be the greatest dissimulation on his part if he were to conceal the fact that he took a deep interest in the subject of the resolution. He could not conceal from himself that somehow or other, not only upon this question, but on many others, the principle of decentralization was in the air, and that this question of the extension of the common law jurisdiction of the county courts which had been so long ripening was perhaps nearly ripe, and some day-perhaps no very distant day-it might fall to his lot to have to administer an extended common law jurisdiction. After describing the existing anomolies in county court jurisdiction, he referred to the fact that in 1879 Lord Cairns introduced into the House of Lords a Bill dealing with this very subject, and quoted the following extract from the speech the noble lord then made: In the whole of this question, without any exception, there was a general recommendation in favour of the extension of the jurisdiction. The extension which I propose is this: To increase the jurisdiction of the county courts from the sum of £50, at which it now stands, to the sum of £200, and I propose further that the plaintiffs shall have the power of commencing actions in the county court for a still higher amount, but in that case there would be the absolute right on the part of the defendant if he does not wish to have the case disposed of by the county court to remove the case into the higher court." That Bill, however, fell in the massacre of the innocents in 1879. After 1879 came the General Election of 1880, and after that came-what should he call it ?-the Parliamentary deluge. He supposed that Lord Cairns' Bill would have to be revived if anything was to be done. He found that down to 1876 the average number of claims above £50 entered into the county courts, by consent of the parties, was about 30; from 1876 to 1883 the number jumped up to between 300 and 409 on the average; and during the last four years it had been nearer 700 than 600, which to his mind indicated that the public were in favour of an extension of the system. In addition to all these there were 300 or 400 cases under the Employers' Liability Act, and 800 or 900 cases remitted from the High Court, so that they had already in the county courts an enormous amount of work of the highest class. The question was, Did the public want the extension?-he thought they did; and the next question was, Could they have it? It was entirely a question for the Legislature, and perhaps some day the Legislature might take it up.

After a few words from Mr. SYKES, who thought there ought to be no limit to the jurisdiction of the courts in the matter of amount, and a short address by the CHAIRMAN, the resolution was passed.

Mr. ALFRED SYKES then, in very appropriate terms, presented to Mr. T. S. Simpson the gold medal, and Mr. SIMPSON replied.

On the motion of Mr. JAS. YEOMAN, seconded by Mr. J. H. SYKES, the retiring officers were thanked for their services, and the vote was acknowledged by Mr. W. RAMSDEN.

On the motion of Mr. ARMITAGE, seconded by Mr. J. J. Booтн, Mr. Learoyd was re-elected president, and he acknowledged the compliment. On the motion of Mr. JOHN HAIGH, seconded by Mr. WELSH, the other officers were elected; and on the motion of the PRESIDENT, Seconded by Mr. HALL, Mr. W. Armitage was elected deputy-chairman of committee. Mr. ARMITAGE moved, and Mr. BARKER Seconded, that the subscription for the next year should be two guineas, and the resolution was passed. On the motion of Mr. J. H. DRANSFIELD, seconded by Mr. A. H. J. FLETCHER, Mr. Alfred Sykes was cordially thanked for having conducted the classes for instruction in the elements of woollen and worsted manufacture, and in reply Mr. SYKES said he should be glad to renew the classes next year.

The thanks of the meeting were, on the motion of the PRESIDENT, seconded by Mr. HAIGH, accorded to the Mayor and Town Clerk for the provision made for the meeting. Theproceedings shortly afterwards terminated.

Sessions-house, Old Bailey, on Monday next, when the judges will attend A special session of the Central Criminal Court will be held at the for the purpose of fixing the days of the sittings for the ensuing legal year. The ordinary sessions of the court will commence on the same day. The following is the rota of attendance of the masters of the Queen's Bench Division in chambers during the ensuing Michaelmas Sittingsviz., A to F, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Master Johnson; Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, Master Gordon. G to N, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Master Kaye; Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, Master George Pollock.

At the meeting of the Court of Aldermen on Tuesday a letter was read from Mr. J. H. Gresham, Chief Clerk at the Justice Room of the Mansion House, asking permission to retire from his office, in consequence of his precarious state of health. On the motion of Sir Andrew Lusk it was resolved that the letter should be referred to the General Purposes Committee to consider and report, and that they should also inquire into the nature, duties, and emoluments of the office.

The Report of the Commissioners of Prisons, just issued, says that if the prison population had increased since 1878 in proportion with the general population, it would be 8,432 more than it actually is. It is remarkable that the decrease in the female prison population has been much larger in proportion than that of the males. In 1876-77 there were on an average 16,134 males and 4,227 females. In 1886-87 the number of males was 12,244, or 24.1 per cent. less, and of the females 2,722, or 35.6 per cent. less. The cost of maintaining the prisons has decreased during the past year from £343,697 to £332,128.

Last week, at the Mart, Tokenhouse-yard, Mr. Michael Walton (of the firm of Messrs. Walton & Lee) submitted to auction the Hesleyside Estate, Northumberland. The auctioneer observed that it was one of the finest properties ever submitted, and he expressed his belief that it was the largest English estate ever offered to public auction at the Mart; certainly it was the largest within the last twenty years. The estate extended

over 20,000 acres, and was divided into nineteen well-arranged farms, all of which were let to substantial tenants at reduced rents-in some cases to the extent of 50 per cent.-to meet the exigencies of the times. The whole estate produced an annual rental of over £5.000. The first bid was £80,000, followed by others for £85,000, £90,000, £95,000, £96,000, £97,000, £98,000, and £100,000. The two next offers were £102,500 and £105,000, followed by others of £106,000, £107,000, and £110,000. The biddings then increased by £1,000 each to £119,000, at which the property was withdrawn, the auctioneer pointing out that to pay four per cent. it was worth £125,000.
