UNITED LAW STUDENTS' SOCIETY.

A meeting of this society was held at Clement's-inn Hall on the 7th inst. The Cardiff Law Students' Society was admitted into union. The secretary's report for the last quarter was read and adopted. Mr. Rawlings then opened the subject for debate-" That the union between Church and State should be abolished"-in the affirmat ive, and was supported by Mr. J. Ashton Cross, while Messrs. R. B. D. Acland, N. Synnott, G. White, C. Parsons, and Eustace Smith opposed. Mr. Whitehouse then proposed, and Mr. R. G. Templer seconded, the adjournment of the debate until Wednesday next, when it is hoped that the attendance of members will be large. The following is the report of the hon. secretary for the quarter ending March 31 :

I beg to lay before you my report for the quarter ending March 31, which will, I trust, prove satisfactory to you.

Ten meetings have been held at Clement's-inn Hall for the purposes of debate. The average attendance at these meetings has been twenty-six, which is in advance of the average in former years. The discussions have been generally animated, and there has been a marked increase in the number of members both willing and anxious to speak. From the subjects discussed I have selected the following, as having excited the keenest interest:-A motion approving of the action of the Incorporated Law Society and Inns of Court in excluding women from their examinations, which was lost by two votes; a motion condemning the execution of military prisoners in Afghanistan, which was carried by two votes; a motion proposing to establish a school of law for the joint education of bar students and articled clerks, which was carried by two votes; a motion that Lord Beaconsfield and his Government do not deserve the confidence of the country, which, after being twice adjourned, was finally carried by a majority of two.

Thirty new members have been elected at these meetings, of whom three were barristers, four solicitors, nine bar stndents, twelve articled clerks, and two members of societies in union with your society.

On the 14th of January the James Prize was announced as having been awarded to your secretary by Mr. Montague Cookson, Q.C., who had kindly consented to act as umpire; the essay sent in by Mr. T. Eustace Smith being highly com

mended.

On the 4th of Febuary Mr. E. H. Quicke, then secretary for the societies in union, brought forward a motion for giving a second prize of three guineas, in addition to the onenow existing, at the annual competition for the Union Prize. The motion was carried.

On the 25th of February, Mr. Farrer Herschell, Q.C. M.P., presided at the inaugural meeting of the society, and was supported by distinguished members of both branches of the profession. We are, I think, justified in considering the meeting as having been again this year a decided success.

On the 3rd of March Mr. W. Dowson was appointed secretary for societies in union in the place of Mr. E. H. Quicke, resigned. I feel confident that you will, in common with the various societies in union, be unanimous in regretting the retirement of an officer who has been indefatigably conscientious in the management of the affairs of his department.

Six meetings have been held at the Law Institution, which have, I consider, been marked by improvement, both in attendance and arguments; a paper is to be read this month on the Law of Infants, by Mr. C. Kains-Jackson, and your committee feel that the society would be much indebted to any other

gentleman who would undertake to read similar papers at these meetings.

The other departments of the society are, I understand, in fair working order. W. C. OWEN, Hon. Sec.

On Wednesday night the adjourned debate on the Disestablishment question was brought to a conclusion by a vote in favour of the present union between Church and State being maintained. The advocates of Disestablishment at the adjourned debate were Messrs. Mott-Whitehouse, Pain, Rundle Levy, and Beaumont Morrice; its opponents, Messrs. St. John Mildmay, Bateman Napier, Kains-Jackson, Harvey, Robinson, and Maxwell. There was a good attendance, and the debate was not concluded until a late hour.

BIRMINGHAM LAW STUDENTS' SOCIETY. A meeting of this society was held on Tuesday, April 6, in the Law Library, Mr. W. S. Allen in the chair. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. W. Showell Rogers for his valuable services as hon. treasurer and hon. secretary of the society. After the election of several members and the addition of books to the library, a debate took place on the following moot point:-"A testator bequeaths a share of residue to A. with a gift over to B. on the death of A., 'without having actually received his share, whether the same shall have become due and payable or not." Is the gift over to B. valid?”—Martin v. Martin (14 W. R. 986) Minors v. Battison (25 W. R. 27); Johnson v. Crook; (28 W. R. 12); Collison v. Barber (L. R. 12 Ch. D. 834); Bubb v. Padwick (28 W. R. 382). The speakers in the affirmative were Messrs. Rogers, Hayes, Mason, Samuel, and O'Connor, and on the negative Messrs. Ludlow, Dennison, and Crockford. After a few remarks from the chairman, the question was put and decided in the affirmative by a large majority. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the meeting.

At a meeting of this society held on Tuesday evening last, in the Law Library, the first of a series of lectures, kindly promised to the society by several barristers and solicitors of the town, was given by N. Nathan, Esq.. B.A., barrister-at-law. The subject of the lecture was siderations on the Assimilation of the Law of Real and

"Con

Personal Property." The learned gentleman carefully indicated the material distinctions between real and personal property, and having severely criticised the various anomalies existing in the law of real property and the present system of conveyancing, pointed out how the assimilasion of the law of real to personal property in the manner suggested by him would be instrumental in causing their removal. Mr. Nathan then proceeded to consider the subject in its legal, social, and political aspect, and brought his very able and interesting lecture to a close. A vote of thanks to Mr. Nathan was proposed by the honorary secretary (Mr. F. Harvey Samuel), seconded by Mr. W. Showell Rogers, and enthusiastically carried.

LIVERPOOL LAW STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION.

A meeting of this association was held at the Law Library, Union-court, on the 5th inst., W. F. Wilson, Esq., solicitor, in the chair. It was decided that the paper on "General Average," read at the previous meeting by Mr. Richard Lowndes, should, with his permission, be printed and circulated at the expense of this association. A letter was read from Mr. F. J. Leslie, resigning the post of honorary secretary, which he had held since 1877, on the ground that he found himself unable any longer to devote sufficient time to the performance of the duties of the office. Mr. T. S. Mills, B.A. (in the absence of Mr. E. H. Blease), opened the debate in the affirmative on the following subject appointed for discussion:-"A testator by his will bequeathed all the residue of his estate to A. with a gift over to B. in case A. shall die before he shall have actually received the same.' A. dies fourteen months after the death of the testator, without having actually received any part of such residue. Is A.'s legal representative entitled to the bequest ?" Mr. J. J. K. Mills, supported the negative view of the question, and the debate was continued by Messrs. Leslie, McMaster, Dawbarn, and Hannay. The case chiefly relied on for the affir

mative was Johnson v. Crook (28 W. R. 12), and for the negative Collison v. Barber (L. R. 12 Ch. D. 834), and Bubb v. Padwick (28 W. R. 382). Mr. Mills having replied, the question was put to the meeting and decided in the negative by a majority of one.

PRACTICAL ADVICE TO LAW STUdents.

Mr. A. S. Watson, president of the Newcastle-uponTyne Law Society, at the opening of the newly-established law classics in that town, delivered an address, in the course of which he said :

It may not be altogether uninteresting to my hearers if [ briefly tell them the course of reading which I was put through as an articled clerk eight-and-twenty years ago. I do not doubt that many of my contemporaries went through a better course, and derived great benefit from it, but I was anxious to learn and read hard. An excellent lawyer and one highly esteemed by his brethren, who has now retired from practice, undertook, of his own free will, to chalk me out the plan which I should adopt. My first book was "Eunomus," a work of which some of you perhaps may never have heard, and which I can tell you but little about. So far as I remember it consisted of a series of conversations on the principles of the law of real property. When it had been mastered, I proceeded to "Coke upon Littleton," "Sheppard's Touchstone," and "Fearne on Contingent Remainders," in the order named, with "Blackstone's Commentaries when I had time to indulge in light reading. Alas! in those days there was no intermediate examination to prevent the possibility of so much mental torture. The works I have mentioned are great works truly-great, most of them, in every sense of the word-but three weary years were all insufficient for their mastery, and I found myself in the melancholy condition of one who has been required to gallop before he was able to walk.

The requirements of the intermediate examination have made for you, happy students, such a course of reading impossible, and the classes we inaugurate to-day are to aid you in passing that examination with credit and satisfaction to yourselves.

Your readers will perhaps forgive me if I proceed to a few general considerations upon the study of the law, which spring naturally out of what has been already said.

Most of you probably have heard a song which is at the present time justly popular, and in which a successful lawyer relates the method of his success. Carry your minds back to the last two lines of the first verse of that song, which runs

"I polished up that handle so carefulee

That now I'm the ruler of the Queen's Navee." The secret of all success is contained in those two lines. He must be faithful in small matters who wishes to have greater intrusted to him. It is thoroughness which is the chief element of success in study as in nearly all the affairs of life. It is this which is most to be cultivated; and to form the habit of doing that which falls to you to be done thoroughly should be your constant aim. We cannot all have genius, but we can all be thorough, which is far better. Thoroughness is made up of patience and perseverance rightly applied.

It is not so important to read much, as to read that which you do read thoroughly. Do not merely read it-master it. Understand every word. Leave no sentence until it is really yours. You will find it by no means a bad plan to pull up at the end of each paragraph, and xamine yourself upon it so as to see that you are reading with an open understanding. It is a mistake to read in the not uncommon "duty" fashion-to set yourself a certain number of pages a day which are to be gone through. The mind is apt to get into a careless and slovenly way, and to be satisfied with accomplishing the regulation task with the eyes, leaving the understanding out in the cold. But that which is read in such a fashion is not merely worthless, it is much worse than worthless. It is like the food which is taken into the body beyond that which can be properly assimilated. It is not simply valueless; it is absolutely hurtful.

Do not be afraid of confessing your ignorance. In a study like that of the law, which has many branches, each with

innumerable ramifications, we have all from time to time to confess our ignorance. The oldest and ablest practitioner amongst us will not hesitate to confirm me when I say that a week seldom passes in which he has not occasion to refer to that which is outside of his own knowledge. Besides, in dealing with the law, we have at times to deal with an uncertain, at times with an unknown quantity. Complications arise which have never before presented themselves; questions are asked upon special or out-of-the-way subjects, and authorities have to be consulted; inferences have to be drawn ; you have to argue from the known to the unknown; or you have to acquire knowledge which you did not previously possess. If you do not understand a thing, say so, and ask about it. This is one of the great advantages of intelligent instruction. The teacher is, as I have said, a living book. | You can explain the difficulties you have met with in your reading to him; can tell him the points which he has not made clear to you; and can have your difficulties and your ignorance removed.

I have dwelt rather fully upon this, for it is a point of great importance. I have seen a number of students sit through a lecture as though all that was said was plain to them, until some one ventured to put a question and so elicit explanations for which all were thankful.

Again, let me strongly advise you to be most anxious in your study of the law, to become acquainted with the great principles upon which all law is founded. Mere practice must, of course, be learned, but it is best learned in the prac

tical work of the office. The details of the law must also be learned, but they should always be learned in immediate connection with the principles from which they spring. It is not the point itself; it is its why and wherefore which is of the most importance to you; for all true law must be founded upon abiding principles. The true method of applying those principles may not always be understood in the same way; mistakes in their application may be and are made, but the principles are fixed and immutable. Practice, as I have already pointed out, is constantly changing; change is one of its natural incidents; but a principle once thoroughly mastered is your servant for life.

When Louis Napoleon was Emperor of the French he sent over commissioners to examine into the state of our public schools. They reported, amongst other things, that in the highest form at Eton, all the youths were able to repeat whole books of Euclid by heart, but that they found scarcely one who could work the simplest exercise upon the earliest problems. The man who reads cases, and learns points, without acquainting himself with the principles from which they spring and upon which they depend, is in the position of the youths who were the admiration of the French Commissioners.

If I were to combine the two points I have mentioned, the thoroughness and the grasp of principles, and to educe two other practical pieces of advice from them, I should say 46 come to your conclusions slowly," and "aim at taking broad and comprehensive views."

"Come to your conclusions slowly." before you first. Look all round the advise upon before you speak. Do clusions. Take nothing for granted. speak, and the more you think and the better.

Have all the facts matters you have to not jump to conThink before you less you speak the

"Aim at taking broad and comprehensive views." This is a life-long struggle with most solicitors who attend to it at all. Our practice, our professional success, are opposed to it. We have to learn intense concentration of mind, but we have also to learn how to concentrate the mind upon one thing after another with the greatest rapidity. After a busy day, a solicitor's mind is not unlike a kaleidoscope. He 'has taken one thing after another into it all day long, casting each away when done with; and at the end it is filled with a mass of dimly-remembered subjects which cannot be quite cleared away, but which unfit it for everything else. But the most important matters he is consulted upon require broader treatment, and he flies to counsel for that which Nature gave him also, but art has destroyed. Happy the man who can retain this invaluable faculty of breadth of view whilst he also obtains the power of the rapid and frequent change of mental objects.

But you must not imagine that, when you have passed the preliminary examination, your general education is complete and your technical education alone remains. It of much importance, not only for your own happiness,

but also for your professional usefulness, that you should continue your general education. It is impossible for me, in the brief space at my disposal, to go adequately into this subject of general education, but I may just allude to the acquisition of foreign languages. From any high educational standpoint they occupy a very low position. They are not properly education, in any advanced sense, any more than reading, writing, and ciphering are education. They are simply the tools by the use of which you may become educated. But, from a professional point of view, they are very valuable. Now-a-days there is no branch of knowledge which will come amiss to a solicitor. It is quite impossible to lay your finger upon any subject with which, sooner or later, some member of our profession will not have to deal. And with the immense extension of commerce, and the vast increase in the means of locomotion, every day new fields of practice are opened out. Mines in Spain; villas in Switzerland; railways in Sicily; estates in America; islands in the Southern Pacific; mineral concessions in France; forests in Sweden; orchards in the Lebanon; vineyards in Hungary; fisheries in Norway; all of these have actually been dealt with by firms of solicitors in Newcastle within the past ten years. You will find the time and labour spent in the acquisition of foreign languages a profitable investment. And far beyond any pecuniary benefit is the power you thus acquire of entering into sympathy with people other than your own-of conversing with the great minds of many lands. "So many languages as a man knows, so often is he a man."

I need not enlarge upon the relaxation which is afforded to men, whose employment is an intellectual and a harassing one, by pursuits which are outside the scope of their daily occupations. It is of the greatest value to us all to have some hobby in which we can profitably occupy that leisure time, which becomes increasingly small as the years roll on. And in such pursuits there is great reward, as well as the truest relaxation. There is no branch of human learning in which the patient humble worker cannot be of actual use to his fellow. men. In all alike there will ever be good honest work to be done by those who are ready and willing to undertake it. There is no need to have all work and no play. Most of us do not play nearly enough, but still more of us neglect the great opportunities which present themselves for useful work outside our professional labours-work in which minds trained and disciplined as those of lawyers should be-may be of peculiar value.

For, gentlemen, you are not merely to be lawyers, you are to be members of that mighty organization, the State, and to the State, from which he receives everything, each man owes the best which he can give.

One word more and I have done. You are learning now in order that you may become members of a great and important profession. You are to be the reposi tories of secrets, the healers or makers of feads, the advisers of your fellow-men for good or for evil. Look upon your profession as a sacred trust, not simply as a moneymaking machine; upon your professional brethren as your friends, not as your rivals. Do not for a moment imagine that the best lawyer is he who can practise the most dodges, and can most skilfully over-reach his fellow-practitioners. Ours ought to be, must be, is, a truly honourable profession. It will be yours in time to come to uphold its honour. It will be yours to preserve that high standard which has here, in my humble opinion, been so long maintained. It wil be yours in loyalty to this society, which is doing what it can to help you, to support it and to extend its usefulness. It will be yours to keep up that warm, friendly, honourable feeling which has ever existed amongst the practitioners here, and which has so greatly contributed to the welfare, not only of the members of our profession, but also of those who place their confidence in us, and intrust their dearest interests to our keeping. I can imagine no calling more truly honourable than that of a solicitor rightly fulfilled. We hear from time to time much talk about the status of our profession. That status must and ought to depend upon the true, honest, upright conduct of its members. A solicitor must believe in duty; he must understand selfsacrifice; he must be one who sweareth to his own hurt, when occasion requires it, and altereth not. In this movement to give you better opportunities than we ourselves enjoyed to become fitted for the proper exercise of the high and important functions to which, in due time, you will be called, you have the warmest and truest sympathy of us all.

Young men, the honour and welfare of our profession will be committed, in a manner, to your charge. See to it, that you prove yourselves worthy of your vocation.
