NORTH, J., held that, though the solicitors were not entitled to the scale fee for " conducting" the sale, they were entitled to be remunerated, under Schedule II. to the order, for such of the items of work properly done by them which were specified in the bill of costs, and which were not covered by the fee paid to the auctioneer. They could not add to the bill any item not already specified in it. The matter was referred back to the taxing master.-COUNSEL, Cozens-Hardy, Q.C., and O. L. Clare; Everitt, Q.C., and R. F. Norton. SOLICITORS, Gregory, Rowcliffes, & Co.; J. J. & C. J. Allen. [NOTE. This case differs from Re Faulkner (ante, p. 661), because there the solicitor had not claimed the "conducting" fee.]

LAW SOCIETIES.

SOLICITORS' BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION.

The Solicitors' Benevolent Association held their fifty-ninth half-yearly meeting on Wednesday at the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne, Mr. SIDNEY SMITH presiding. It should be stated that the autumnal general meeting is usually held concurrently with the provincial meeting of the Incorporated Law Society, but that society having this year already held its gathering in London, it became necessary to select a place of meeting for the association, and Eastbourne was accordingly fixed upon. The report, which was taken as read, stated that, in accordance with the recent resolution, the audited statement of accounts would in future be presented annually, the financial year being closed on December 31st. Since the last report in April, 1887, 89 new members had been admitted, making a total of 3,052; of these 1,104 were life and 1,948 annual subscribers. Fifty-three life members were also contributors of annual subscriptions ranging from one to ten guineas each. During the six months ending June 30th, 1887, the receipts from all sources had amounted to £3,147 17s. 4d. The special appeal made by Mr. E. J. Bristow at the anniversary festival on the 9th of June had largely contributed to this result, the association having thereby gained £1,166. A "Victoria Jubilee Annuity" had out of that sum been created, and the board desired to record their thanks to Mr. E. J. Bristow for his efforts on behalf of the association, and for his own gift of one hundred guineas. The following is a general summary of the receipts :-Life subscriptions, £282 9s.; new annual subscriptions, £66 38.; donations, £930 5s.; arrears, £25 4s. ; renewals, £916 138.; interest on deposit, £1 3s. 5d.; income tax returned, £40 38. 8d.; and dividends £885 16s. 3d. The invested capital now consists of £46,383 14s. 10d. stock, in addition to the sum of £5,048 10s. 5d. Metropolitan Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock pertaining to the Reardon Bequest. During the half-year 85 grants had been made from the funds, amounting to £1,785. Of this sum 12 members' families had received £505, while 23 non-members and 50 non-members' families had received £1,280. The sum of £75 had also been paid to annuitants from the income of the late Miss Ellen Reardon's bequest, and £14 to the recipient of the "Hollams Annuity." On the 30th of June, 1887, a balance of £537 9. 6d. remained to the credit of the association at the Union Bank of London, together with £217 18s. 5d. belonging to the Reardon Trust Account. The directors regretted to have to record the decease of their colleagues, Mr. Edward Turner Payne, of Bath, Mr. William Shaen, of London, and Mr. John Yeomans, of Sheffield. These vacancies had been filled by the election of Mr. Henry Holland Burne, of Bath, Mr. Henry Morten Cotton, of London, and Mr. Bernard Wake, of Sheffield. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, expressing his regret that Mr. Henry Roscoe, the deputy-chairman, who was to have presided, had unexpectedly been called away on important business, and he (the chairman) had been requested by him to take his place. With regard to the absence of a balance-sheet, it had been thought desirable this year to alter the arrangement which had formerly existed, and to have but one balance-sheet at the end of the year, as was the practice with similar societies. He would also like to say that the association was very much indebted to Mr. Bristow, as mentioned in the report, and he would ask the meeting presently to pass a special vote of thanks in respect thereto. The members of the association had somewhat increased during the yearnot so much as could have been wished, but, looking to the hard times, it was very satisfactory. The amount expended in relief had been much larger than formerly. In the twelve months ending June 30, 1885, the relief granted was as follows:-six members and nineteen members' families received £1,000, twenty-two non-members and eighty-seven nonmembers' families received £1,650, making the total grants £2,650. In the twelve months ending June 30, 1886, one member and eighteen members' families received £855, and thirty-five non-members and 105 non-members' families received £2,544, making the total grants £3,399. In the twelve months ending June 30 last, one member and twenty-six members' families received £1,280, and thirty non-members and 101 non-members' families received £2,421, making the total grants £3,701. Of course, the association was giving away very much more than was formerly the case. Formerly, the power to give was limited to the dividends on invested capital. Later on, the association gave away the annual subscriptions also, and now, by the resolution passed at the last meeting at Liverpool, the board had the power to give away everything that was received. He could not refrain from recording his own individual opinion, as an old director, that the association ought to invest their life subscriptions, and he could but regret that they had ceased to put by capital by investing their life subscriptions as most similar societies did. The reliable income of the association was about £3,300 or £3,400 a year, which, having regard to

the fact that this was but the twenty-ninth year of their existence, was very satisfactory. He would also like to say something with regard to the relief given to members and non-members respectively. It had been proposed at one meeting to give away all the receipts and possibly even to touch the capital, but this he would be very sorry to see take place. He had always advocated that the association was a charity, not a mutual insurance society; but, on the other hand, he could not but look with fear upon the large amounts which were being given away to non-members -which amounts were constantly increasing. Not only were the associa| tion thereby expending their resources, but it might be possible that they were doing themselves an injury by giving so liberally to non-members. They might thereby be taking away an inducement to the outside members of the profession to belong to the association. If they took the present average, the association gave to members and their families about £60 a year, and he thought it would be desirable to limit the assistance given to non-members and their families to about one-third of that sum, or £20 a year. At present non-members received £35 or £40 yearly, so that they were almost upon the same footing as members in this respect. The claims of members were at present comparatively few, but in the ordinary course of nature these must increase, and he would like to see the capital increased and possibly a little less given away to non-members and their families. The board saw what distress there was in the profession, and how many who were once prosperous were brought to comparative poverty, and, though they were very glad to relieve nonmembers as well as members, he would certainly like the question of the relative amount of relief to be given to be considered. He hoped that this meeting would cause an increase in the number of members at Eastbourne, and he would be very pleased if Mr. Pidcock could arrange to have a local committee there. Out of the 14,000 solicitors on the roll only about 3,000 were members of the association, and this ought to be increased to at least one-third.

Mr. R. PIDCOCK (Eastbourne) seconded the motion, and the report was unanimously adopted.

Mr. W. LOVELL (Cambridge) moved a vote of thanks to the directors, and that they be re-elected.

Mr. PIDCOCK seconded the motion, which was agreed to.

Votes of thanks to the auditors and to Mr. Bristow were also carried, and, in reply to a vote of thanks for presiding,

The CHAIRMAN observed that it had been his great pleasure to serve the association for twenty-eight years, and he was the only one left of those who had assisted in forming the association in the year 1857. The proceedings then terminated.

He has been for several years deputy-chairman of the Berkshire Quarter Sessions, and he was High Sheriff of Berkshire in 1877.

Mr. ALBERT TULL suceeds Mr. Mount, M.P., as Vice-Chairman of the Berkshire Quarter Sessions.

Mr. LLEWELLYN MALCOLM WYNNE, solicitor, of 31, Lincoln's-inn-fields, has been appointed a Magistrate for Oxfordshire. Mr. Wynne was ad mitted a solicitor in 1869.

Mr. THOMAS JAMES SAVAGE, solicitor (of the firm of Pitts & Savage), of 57 and 59, Ludgate-hill, has been appointed a Commissioner for taking affidavits, &c., in the Courts of the Province of Ontario in the Dominion of Canada. Mr. Savage was admitted in June, 1886.

A writ of certiorari to bring up the inquisitions taken by the coroner at Mitchelstown in the three cases of Lonergan, Casey, and Shinnick with a view to have them quashed was granted in the Queen's Bench Division of the Irish High Court on the 20th inst. The motion was grounded upon an affidavit by Mr. St. Leger, solicitor for the police, setting forth certain irregularities in the proceedings, among others, in the summoning of the jurors, some of whom were engaged in the occurrence which led to the riot, and also that no precautions were taken to keep the jury from communicating with the outside public.

Chief Justice Waite, in replying to the toast of "The Supreme Court of the United States," at a breakfast given by the Philadelphia bar to the judges of that court, said that, "With a population in the United States approaching 60,000,000, and a territory embracing nearly 3,000,000 square miles, the Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction in all of the classes of cases it had when the population was less than 4,000,000 and the territory but little more than 800,000 square miles. Under such circumstances it is not to be wondered at that the annual appeal docket of that court has increased from 100 cases, or perhaps a little more, a half a century ago, to nearly 1,400, and that its business is now more than three years and a half behind-that is to say, that cases entered now, when the term of 1887 is about to begin, are not likely to be reached in their regular order for hearing until late in the term of 1890."

Mr. Charles Morris Roupell, one of the official referees of the Supreme Court of Judicature, has sent in his resignation of that appointment to the Lord Chancellor. Mr. Roupell has held the office since the institution of the Official Referees' in April, 1876.

At a special session of the Central Criminal Court, held on Monday, the following days were appointed for the commencement of the sessions for the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court, viz.- Mondays, November 21, December 12, January 9, January 30, February 27, March 19, April 23, May 28, July 2, July 30, September 17, and October 22.

We are informed that in Re Alliance Supply Stores (ante, p. 796) the order as to costs was not "the usual order," as stated in the report, but that Mr. Justice Charles considered that circumstances justified a departure from the common order, and, although a winding up was ordered, he allowed the opposing creditors their costs.

Mr. A. E. Street writes to the Times to correct Lord Randolph Churchill's statement at Newcastle that the cost of the Law Courts in London was

about equal to that of the Houses of Parliament, or something over three millions sterling. As a matter of fact, he says, the Law Courts, instead of costing over three millions, have cost considerably less than one; and, what is equally to the purpose, the expense has been strictly kept to the limit laid down.

It has been notified that the following alterations have been effected in the commission days of the assizes:-On Thursday, November 10, the commission will be opened at Norwich, on the South-Eastern Circuit, by Field, J., and at Liverpool, on the Northern Circuit, by Day and Grantham, JJ., on Monday, November 14, at Warwick, on the Midland Circuit, by Huddleston, B., and at Stafford, on the Oxford Circuit, by Hawkins, J.
