MR. JUSTICE KAY in a lenient moment allowed a solicitor who had been discharged before trial to obtain a charging order, under 23 & 24 Vict. c. 127, s. 28, on property recovered or preserved in the action, on the ground that his exertions had been instrumental in bringing about the successful result (Re Wadsworth, 33 W. R. 558, 29 Ch. D. 517). The order was made subject to the lien of the succeeding solicitors. It naturally occurred to the discharged solicitor that, as he had not discharged himself, but had been discharged by his client, all the costs incurred for the same end ought to be paid pari passu, and as between himself and the succeeding solicitors ought to rank together. He accordingly took out a summons to have this rule applied. He was, however, met by a judgment of Vice-Chancellor Woop, given in Cormack v. Beisly (3 D. G. & J., at p. 162), and stated by the reporter to be "abridged from the shorthand notes of the judgment,"

Solicitors' Journal and Reporter. in which the learned judge said that " it appeared on principle that

LONDON, DECEMBER 4, 1886.

CURRENT TOPICS.

NO MORE WITNESS CAUSES will be taken by Mr. Justice NORTH or Mr. Justice CHITTY during the present sittings after this week.

AMONG THE NUMEROUS fluctuations in the interlocutory business of the Chancery Division is the great decrease in the number of petitions presented to the court. During last year they numbered exactly 1,000; in 1880 they were 2,023, and in 1870 4,103. During the same period the summonses adjourned to be heard in court have increased in a corresponding ratio, though, owing to a defect in the returns, we are unable to give the figures.

IT WILL BE seen from a report of Reeve v. Fowle, which will be found elsewhere, that the Court of Appeal has put a final stop to a practice-which we believe has been very generally adopted by county court judges, under the Debtors Act, 1869 after an order has been made for payment by instalments and default has occurred, of making an order for committal, with a direction that the warrant thereunder should not issue so long as monthly instalments are duly paid. The Court of Appeal held that this was practically an order of commitment on failure to pay any one of the future instalments, and was in excess of the jurisdiction of the court. We regret the result of the decision, for we believe the effect of the practice has been to lessen the number of imprisonments, and that it has been, on the whole,

beneficial alike to creditor and debtor.

A QUESTION which has long been a moot point among conveyancers was decided by Mr. Justice STIRLING on Saturday in Leigh v. Leigh-namely, whether a power to invest on "real securities" authorizes an investment on the security of a portions term. It has been the general opinion of conveyancers that a security on a term of this nature was within the power (see 2 Dav. Prec., Part 2, 460, where the author says, "A simple term of years and a term defeasible for non-payment of rent or breach of covenant [i.e., a leasehold] are both technically 'real securities'; but the first, being a safe security, is proper for trustees; the latter, generally not being safe, is not proper "; 3 Dav. Prec. 37; Re Chenell, 8 Ch. D. 492); but this opinion was disapproved of in Re Boyd's Settled Estates (14 Ch. D. 626). In Leigh v. Leigh Mr. Justice STIRLING decided that a term for raising portions is not a "real security." It is probable that a large number of investments on the mortgage of a long term have been made in reliance on Mr. DAVIDSON's opinion, and therefore the decision is one of considerable practical importance. It should, perhaps, be remarked that it is possible that the decision might have been different if the

the solicitor who last conducted the suit was the person who ought
to take his costs first. Even if a solicitor was discharged by his
client he could not insist upon continuing the suit in order that he
might work out his lien, nor could he, probably, even then claim
priority over the new solicitor who conducted the cause to an end.”
As in the case in question, the solicitor had retired from the suit,
these observations as to the case of a solicitor discharged by his
client were merely dicta; but Mr. Justice KAY not only
treated them as deciding the matter, but on the strength of
them refused leave to appeal. He said that the rule laid down by
Vice-Chancellor Woop "had not been dissented from by the judges
on the appeal." Of course not, it might be said; there was no
question of a solicitor discharged by a client before them for
decision. The matter is one on which there is a good deal to be
said both ways, and it is certainly to be regretted that it is not to
be discussed before the Court of Appeal. In spite of Mr. Justice
KAY'S statement that "there is no hardship in the rule, we
venture to think that there may be a good deal of hardship in the
charge of a solicitor discharged by his client being postponed to
that of the succeeding solicitor; instances are conceivable in which,
while he may have done the greater part of the work, he may, by
no act of his own, lose the whole or a part of his costs.
other hand, it may, no doubt, be contended that if the succeeding
solicitor does little work, his costs will be proportionately small,
so that the rule does not work unfairly. Our impression, however,
is that the balance of fairness is in the direction of all costs which
tend to the successful result being paid pari passu. For the
present, however, it must be taken to be settled that, whether a
solicitor retires or is discharged by his client, his charge upon
funds recovered or preserved in the action will be postponed to the
lien of the succeeding solicitor.

AN ESTEEMED CORRESPONDENT, following the prevalent fashion, has propounded a prize puzzle, omitting, however, the prize. He asks us whether a candidate for the mayoralty, being the outgoing mayor, can preside at his own election, and, if so, whether he may give himself an original vote, and, in case of equality, a casting vote also? And he adds another problem as to whether the mayor can give like votes for an alderman. The omniscience supposed to belong to the editorial being inadequate for the solution of these problems, they were referred to a learned authority on the Municipal Corporations Acts, who has favoured us with the following observations:-"The question, which is by no means an easy one, depends upon the construction of sections 15 and 61 of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1882, and rule 9 of schedule 2 of that Act. By the rule last mentioned, at every meeting of the council the mayor, if present, shall be chairman,' provision being subsequently made for supplying his place in case of absence, but in no other case. Therefore, as far as the statute law is concerned, the mayor can clearly preside in such a case, and I know of no common law rule to disqualify him, the proceedings not having such a judicial character as to
