VICE-CHANCELLOR MALINS.

ON Tuesday Vice-Chancellor Malins took his seat for the first time since his recent accident. His lordship was able, with the assistance of a rail which has been temporarily erected, to make his way to the judge's chair. The court was crowded in all parts by members of both branches of the profession, and the applause raised throughout the court, which was of the most enthusiastic description, testified to the general esteem in which his lordship is held. Upon silence being restored,

Mr. GLASSE, Q.C., addressed his lordship in these terms:My lord, before the commencement of business I propose, on behalf of the bar and legal profession generally, to say a few words to you. They will be simple words of congratulation, because words of praise, my lord, would be wrong when addressed to a judge who we hope will long continue among I wish to say, on behalf of the bar, with the utmost regard and affection for your lordship, that we sincerely hope you will be able to continue your valuable services to the country for many years to come.

us.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR, who spoke under deep emotion, said: -Mr. Glasse, I cannot but feel highly gratified at the few words which have fallen from you on behalf of the bar and of the profession generally. I have had great anxiety during my illness from the doubt which existed whether I should remain crippled for life, or whether I should ever be well enough to fulfil again my duties in this court. I am happy to say now that I am so far restored in my health that I anticipate, if not in a few weeks, at all events in a few months, that my movements will be as free as those of other men, though, perhaps, I may not be quite so vigorous as I formerly was, With regard to the profession, I have received from the bar, from solicitors, and, indeed, from every branch of the profession the utmost kindness, and expressions of affection to an extent which, knowing as I do, the imperfect manner in which my duties have been performed, I had no notion existed towards me. My illness, at all events, has brought with it the advantage of proving to what extent I have won the esteem of the profession. That I may retain my health and be enabled to fulfil my present duties is my most anxious desire; and it is a matter of the most perfect gratification that, after all the anxieties I have had during the period of my illness, I find myself here once again. I have always received from the bar the most kind support and assistance, without which it would have been impossible for me to get through the mass of business which there has always been in this court, I may say from the first day that I took my seat as a judge. I hope that the same kind sympathy which Mr. Glasse has been the medium of expressing to-day will be continued to me for the few years longer during which I shall be called upon to discharge these duties. His lordship then stated that he should adopt for the future the old rule of the court, which had been always pursued by his predecessor the Vice-Chancellor of England, of holding the sittings of the court during five hours daily, and up to Christmas next he should commence the sittings at half-past ten and rise at half-past three.

At the recent municipal election at Maidstone, the Liberal nominations in two of the wards were handed in at the town clerk's office by the Liberal agent instead of the candidates themselves or their nominators or seconders, as required by the 3rd clause of the 1st section of the Municipal Elections Act. The Conservative candidates appealed on Friday week to the mayor, who referred the point to the recorder of the borough, Mr. S. Prentice, Q.C.

Obituary.

MR. EDWIN FORCE.

Mr. Edwin Force, solicitor, notary, and proctor, of Exeter, died at his residence, Southlands, Heavitree, on the 27th ult., after a somewhat long illness. Mr. Force was admitted a solicitor in 1836, and had ever since practised at Exeter. He was a notary public, a perpetual commissioner for Devonshire and Cornwall, a commissioner to administer oaths in the Supreme Court of Judicature, and also a commissioner for affidavits in the Irish courts. In 1844 he was elected clerk to the commissioners of property and incometax for the city of Exeter, and in 1870 he was appointed by Bishop Philpotts registrar of the diocesan and consistorial court, and he held both those offices until his death. Since 1869 he had also been chapter-clerk of Exeter Cathedral jointly with Mr. William John Battishill, with whom he was at that time in partnership. Mr. Force was a town councillor for St. Mary Major Ward from 1847 till 1862. He was several times under-sheriff for the city, and was elected an alderman in 1863 and sheriff in 1866. He was a liberal supporter of all charitable and educational institutions in the city and diocese. He was for over forty years secretary to the Exeter and Cornwall Hospital, and he was treasurer of the Exeter Central Schools and honorary secretary to the Exeter Training College. He was also one of the founders of the Exeter Soup-Kitchen Society and of the Diocesan Board of Education. Mr. Force had suffered for three years from asthma and heart disease, and his strength had for a long time been failing.

SIR EVELYN WOOD.

On Saturday Sir Evelyn Wood, V.C., K. C.B., barrister-atlaw, was entertained at dinner by members of the bar in the hall of the Middle Temple. Sir Evelyn was called to the bar in Easter Term, 1874, shortly after his return from the Ashantee war. The chair was filled by the Attorney-General, who was supported by the Lord Chancellor, Lord Hatherley, the Hon. Sir H. Keppel, G.C.B., Admiral of the Fleet, Lord Chief Baron Kelly, Lord Justice James, Lord Justice Thesiger' Vice-Chancellor Bacon, Mr. Justice Manisty. Mr. Justice Lindley, Mr. Justice Denman, Mr. Justice Fitzgerald, and the Solicitor-General. Nine other members of the bench who were engaged elsewhere on public business sent letters expressing their regret at being unable to attend.

After the usual toasts, the Attorney-General proposed the health of the guest of the evening.

Sir EVELYN WOOD, in the course of the reply, said:-There have been many instances where our professions have been combined. If we exclude Odo-and it is difficult to say whether he rose to the Chief Justiceship from his piety as a priest or efficiency as a soldier, or from his Royal birth-the most remote case is that of Lord Chief Justice Despencer, who fell at the Battle of Lewes. Lord Chancellor Cowper raised dragoons for William III., and Lord Eskine, who began life as a midshipman, later entered the amy. Thus far I have been his humble imitator, but here, I fear, the parallel will end, though the coincidence remains that he first studied law under Wood and Buller, both afterwards judges. Even lately the ranks of the chancellors have been reinforced

the arduous occupations which had engaged his relative's attention in South Africa, he had never forgotten the claim on bis affection and interest of his home, for during his year and a half's absence he had found time to write 450 letters, which he (Lord Hatherley) had had the satisfaction of perusing.

Mr. SKINNER, Q.C., proposed "The House of Commons," which was briefly acknowledged by the Solicitor-General Mr. FORSYTH, Q.C., proposed "The Irish Bench and

Bar."

Mr. Justice FITZGERALD responded.

Mr. CHITTY, Q.C., proposed " The Benchers of the Middle Temple," who had unanimously voted the use of their noble hall for the purpose of the entertainment.

Mr. JOSEPH BROWN, treasurer of the Middle Temple, responded, expressing the great pleasure which the benchers had felt in turning the hall to such good account, and reminding the company that 300 years since, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, a similar complimentary banquet had been celebrated within its walls to do honour to Drake on returning from his famous voyage of circumnavigation.

from those of fighting men. To this assembly I need scarcely (Before Lord COLERIDGE, C.J., and GROVE and LOPES, JJ.)

recall how one of the victors at Copenhagen rose to the woolsack and left sons distinguished in each profession. The lawyer-soldiers have nearly always been on the side of liberty, but Liberty herself has since become identified with England, and the wearer of the crown has so happily blended her majesty with that of the law, and her heart with those of the people, that all three powers are likely to remain in irresistible unity. When England, threatened with invasion, called for volunteers, the "Inns of Court," with Erskine as their colonel, were the first to respond to the call. It is pleasant to reflect that the spirit which animated our forefathers is not extinct, and that in the "Devil's Own" we have a corps as ready as it is able to contest all debateable fields; and that its smartness and efficiency, which were remarkable when I first saw the battalion, under Major Chitty, at Aldershot many years ago, are never likely to decline while it is directed by the genius and spirit of that ornament to both his professions, Colonel Bulwer, Q.C., M.P.

In reply to the toast of "The Judges," the LORD CHANCELLOR Said, I desire on behalf of the judical bench to express the pleasure which we who have grown old in the law experience in witnessing the career of one who, in the time of peace, has shown his appreciation of our profession by becoming a member of it, and who in time of war has, by his daring, by his energy, by his wisdom in dealing with men and with circumstances, and, above all, by his frank, bis generous, and I will add humane spirit, added another name to the catalogue of England's heroes, and who has to-night shown that, although, according to the old legal maxim, "the law is silent in the midst of arms," yet the lawyer and the soldier combined can, after arms have been laid aside, speak with the eloquence which befits the one and the vigour which characterizes the other. Speaking on behalf of the bench, I desire to record also their satisfaction that all this can be said, and said with perfect truth, of one who is related so closely to him whom I see sitting near me, my noble and learned friend, himself so long and so conspicuous an ornament to the English Bench, and who while an occupant of that bench was respected and beloved by his colleagues and by every member of the bar, who like myself, has had the pleasure of practising before him.

Mr. KAY, Q.C., proposed "The House of Lords," coupled with the name of Lord Hatherley.

Lord HATHERLEY, who on rising to respond was much affected by the warmth of the reception which greeted him, said that he felt quite unable to respond, for his feelings had been stirred to their deepest source by what had taken place with regard to his beloved nephew. It would be unbecoming in him to add anything to the eulogiums which had been so freely bestowed; but it might be useful to some of the young men present to state that in the midst of

Nov. 3.-In the Matter of a Solicitor.

M'Leod moved for a rule calling on a solicitor to show cause why he should not be struck off the roll. He was instructed that the liquidator of a company had handed to the solicitor £900 and £1,349, which sums were to be paid by him to the creditors of the companies. The solicitor paid £250, but as far as was known this was the only sum which he had paid.

THE COURT granted a rule nisi.

(Before GROVE and LOPES, JJ.)

Nov. 5.-In the Matter of a Solicitor.

Murray, on behalf of the Incorporated Law Society, moved for a rule calling upon a solicitor to show cause why he should not be struck off the roll. The ground was that on the 9th of October last the solicitor was tried and convicted at the quarter sessions at Birmingham for obtaining money by false pretences, and sentenced to three months imprisonment with hard labour. Rule nisi granted.

County Courts.

ASHFORD.

(Before G. RUSSELL, Esq., Judge.)

Oct. 25.-Ashford Fire Engine Association v. Richardson.
Charges for services of volunteer fire brigade.
This was an action brought by the Ashford Fire Engine
Association nominally against a farmer named Richardson,
but really against the Kent Fire Insurance Company.

The case was tried on August 16, and the learned judge reserved his decision.

D. Kingsford appeared for the association.
Winch, for the Kent Insurance Company.

The facts were as follows:-On August 23, 1878, a

telegram was sent to the manager of the fire brigade by

Richardson, who lives at a place called Sellindge, distant about eight miles from Ashford, to the effect that a stack was on fire in his rick-yard, and requesting the brigade to come at once. The brigade proceeded to the place with their steam fire engine, and were at work there nine hours, when the fire being supposed to be extinguished they returned. On August 27 the brigade was again summoned by a telegram from Richardson, telling them that a stack which they had turned on the 23rd was now on fire, and requesting the brigade to come. The steam fire engine was

again taken over, and was at work seven hours. On August 29 there was a summons once more from Richardson, another stack being on fire. On this third occasion the steam engine was actually at work fourteen hours. It was proved that if the brigade had taken their manual engine to the fire about thirty men would have been required to pump, and the cost for pumping at the three fires would have been about £33, exclusive of refreshments, and use of manual engine.

The

A bill of £41 15s. 6d. was sent in to Richardson for the expenses of attending the three fires, and he, being insured in the Kent Fire Office, referred the bill to them. fire office declined to pay anything for the use of the engine, although they were willing to pay the cost of transporting it to and from the fire. Accordingly the action was brought to recover the sum of £41 15s. 6d. The defendant paid £26 03. 6d. into court.

The insurance office, it appeared, subscribed £5 a-year to the brigade, although Richardson was not a subscriber. The secretary stated that the subscriptions were not adequate to keep up the brigade, and consequently a charge bad to be made for the use of the engine, although the members were volunteers, and gave their services for nothing. There was a debt of £300 on the steam fire engine, for which the members were responsible.

His HONOUR said, in delivering judgment, the defendant has paid into court £26 0s. 6d. to meet the personal costs out of pocket of the plaintiffs in respect of the services rendered. The plaintiffs style themselves "The Ashford Fire Engine Association," but they admit themselves to be, and are well known to be, a volunteer fire brigade. It is contended on the part of the defendant that the telegrams were a notice merely to the plaintiffs of the fire, and a request of their attendance on the terms on which they held themselves out to the public as a volunteer fire brigade. It is contended, on the other hand, for the plaintiffs that they never held themselves out as volunteers to the public, and were only volunteers inasmuch as they gave their own personal services for nothing, and that their services having been sought by the defendant, they are entitled to make a reasonable charge for those services. It appears that the association held themselves out as a volunteer fire brigade, and as such solicited and received subscriptions from the public. I am at a loss to appreciate the distinction which the association seek to establish between their personal services and those of their engine, unless they had taken steps to make that distinction known to the public, which does not appear to be the case. It is as though a surgeon were to hold himself out as performing operations gratis, and then, having amputated a limb, to send in a charge for wear and tear and cost of instruments. I am of opinion that the defendant invited the assistance of the association in that capacity in which they held themselves out to the public, namely, as a volunteer fire brigade, soliciting and receiving subscriptions from the public to enable them to volunteer their services, and that as such they are not entitled to recover. It is argued on the part of the plaintiffs that the defendant, having paid into court the amount of the personal expenses of the plaintiffs out of pocket, they are at least entitled to recover for the wear and tear of the engine and appliances. But it is not shown that any expense was incurred in respect of such wear and tear, nor is it necessary that I should hold that there was any liability on the defendant to pay the amount which he has paid into court. Considering the whole circumstances of the case, whilst my judgment must be a judgment for the defendant, I will make no order as to costs. Solicitor for the plaintiff, J. D. Norwood, Ashford. Solicitor for the defendant, F. Scudamore, Maidstone.

A dinner was given last month at Perth to Sheriff Barclay on the occasion of his completing his fiftieth year of service as a Sheriff-Substitute.

HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE.

CHANCERY DIVISION-ORDER OF COURT.

Thursday, the 30th day of October, 1879. Whereas, by the orders dated the 24th day of February, 1879, and the 29th day of May, 1879, I, the Right Honourable Hugh MacCalmont Earl Cairns, Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, did, in consequence of the state of health of the Honourable the Vice-Chancellor Sir Richard Malins being such as temporarily to prevent his sitting in court, or in chambers, order and direct that all causes and matters, which at the respective dates of the said orders had been assigned to and were then pending before the said Vice-Chancellor, should for all purposes be transferred until further order to the Honourable Sir Edward Fry, one of the judges of the Supreme Court attached to the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice, to be heard and disposed of by him, so far and to such extent as he should consider necessary or expedient. And whereas the said Vice-Chancellor is now restored to health, and it is his intention to resume his sittings in court and in chambers, I do therefore order that from and after the 1st day of November, 1879, the causes and matters which were so transferred to Mr. Justice Fry by the said orders respectively, so far as any of them are not finally disposed of (except the causes mentioned in the schedule to this order), be re-transferred to the said Vice-Chancellor Sir Richard Malins: And I do further order that the causes mentioned in the said schedule remain transferred to Mr. Justice Fry, but from henceforth be deemed to have been and be treated as having been so transferred for the purpose of trial or hearing only. And this order is to be drawn up by the registrar and set up in the several offices of the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice.
