In one of the Western States, says the Central Law Journal, a case was lately tried at the termination of which the judge charged the jury, and they retired for consultation. Hour after hour passed and no verdict was brought in. The judge's dinner hour arrived and he become hungry and impatient. Upon inquiry he learned that one obstinate juryman was holding out against eleven. That he could not stand, and he ordered the twelve men to be brought before him. He told them that, in his charge to them, he had so plainly stated the case and the law that the verdict ought to be unanimous, and the man who permitted his individual opinion to weigh against the judgment of eleven men of wisdom was unfit and disqualified ever again to act in the capacity of juryman. At the end of this excited harangue a little, squeaky voice came from one of the jurymen.

He said: Judge, will your honour allow me to say a word?" Permission being given, he added: "May it please your honour, I am the only man on your side."

FRIENDLY SOCIETIES DISSOLVED. INDIA Co-OPERATIVE SOCIETY, LIMITED, Great George st, Westminster. Nov 26 [Gazette, Dec 2.]

In a recent case before the Probate Division, the President said-I take again the opportunity of saying that, unfortu nately, I am deprived of the means of investigating these very numerous undefended cases. Their number naturally raises one's doubts and suspicions as to the genuineness of them all, and it is impossible for the court to investigate them. The Queen's Proctor is now liable to be condemned in costs, and that naturally and properly deters him from taking up a case except where the evidence is very clear. There remains, therefore, no inducement for any one to bring before the court the real truth of the case. I have already indicated a way in which I conceive it would be made the interest of the accused to bring the truth to the knowledge of the court; but, unfortunately, the present state of the law prevents it. I greatly regret it.

Law Student's Journal.

LAW STUDENTS' DEBATING SOCIETY. The weekly meeting of this society took place on Tuesday evening last, at the Law Institution, Chancery-lane, Mr. J. Mills occupying the chair. Mr. E. E. Barry was, after a contest, elected a member of the committee, in the place of Mr. G. H. Bower, recently appointed to the office of treasurer. Two motions, proposed by Mr. Kirk, increasing the penalties imposed upon members who fail to attend and speak when their names are placed on the agenda paper, were, after a spirited debate, negatived by large majorities. The subject appointed for the evening's discussion was as follows:-" Goods are let on hire by A. to B. B. fraudulently instructs an auctioneer to sell them without removing them to his sale rooms. The auctioneer does. so, and pays over the proceeds to B. without notice of the fraud. Can A. recover the value of the goods from the auctioneer as for a conversion of them?" Mr. Ellis opened the question in the affirmative, and was followed by Mr. Serjeant, who supported the negative. Messrs. Kirk and Napier then addressed the society in the affirmative, and Messrs. Seymour and Evans in the negative. The question, on being put to the meeting, was decided in the affirmative.

UNITED LAW STUDENTS' SOCIETY.

On Wednesday, the 3rd of December, this society held its usual weekly meeting at St. Clement's-inn Hall, Strand, Mr. E. H. Pickersgill presiding. The subject for the evening was a motion by Mr. R. D. Acland, "That this society regrets, as impolitic, the recent arrests in Ireland." The discussion which followed was of an animated description, there being a good attendance and a large number of members speaking. Mr. Acland was supported with great vigour by Mr. Adolphus Seeton and Mr. Megone, but his opponents were in a majority, Messrs. Slater, Skipper, and Kains-Jackson opposing the motion from a Conservative, Messrs. Shirley Shiriey, Harvey, and Parsons from a Liberal point of view, and the motion itself finally being lost by six votes. Messrs. Mildmay and Wynne having been elected members of the society, and certain business questions disposed of, the society adjourned shortly after ten o'clock. There will be a legal discussion at the Law Institution on Monday, the 8th, at 7.30 p.m., when a point of considerable interest in the law relating to railways will. be raised by Mr. R. D. Ackland.

Legal News.

At the Bow-street Police Court on the 27th ult., before Sir James Ingham, Mr. Charles Hastings Collette, solicitor to the Society for the Suppression of Vice, of 23, Lincoln'sinn-fields, was brought up, on a warrant, for misappropriating the sum of £2,050 in December, 1877, and subsequent dates, for which he was a trustee in behalf of Mr. Henry Charles Finch and others. At the request of Mr. Besley, who appeared for the defence, the hearing of the case was postponed, bail in two sureties in £1,000 and the defendant's recognizances in £2,000 being allowed for his appearance.

On the 1st inst., the Surrey Sessions Bench and Bar Mess entertained Lord Justice Thesiger and Baron Pollock at dinner at the Albion Tavern, Mr. Hardman, the chairman of the bench, occupying the chair. Lord Justice Thesiger, in responding to the toast of the "Health of Her Majesty's Judges," said that this toast was always received with good will in this country, because Her Majesty's judges were selected from the mass of the community and not from a special class. He had a title to be present at the meetings of the Surrey Sessions both by descent and by purchase. It was more than sixty years since his father, the first Lord Chelmsford, joined the Surrey Sessions.

On the 1st inst. a deputation, consisting of members of the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, the Edinburgh Merchant Company, the Scottish Trade Protection Society, the Leith Chamber of Commerce, the Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce, and the Dundee Chamber of Commerce, waited on the Lord Advocate in his chambers, Parliament-square,

Edinburgh, with reference to the subject of fraudulent bankruptcies. The deputation impressed on his lordship the desirability of having a Penal Act passed which would apply to fraudulent bankrupts. The Lord Advocate said he would consider the statements that had been made, and expressed himself in favour of a measure having in view the object aimed at by the deputation.
