THERE IS A PREVALENT IMPRESSION, which we hope will prove to be well founded, that the new Lord Chancellor will occasionally be seen in the Court of Appeal. So long as the Chancellor remains the president of that court it is desirable that he should occasionally perform the duties of his office. There is much advantage to be derived from the presence of a fresh mind on the bench, and as regards the Chancellor himself, it cannot but be advantageous that he should be practically acquainted with the business of the court, and should be brought into more frequent contact with the bar than he is when he only attends the sittings of the House of Lords.

THE NOTION that under the Bills of Sale Act, 1878, it is essential to the validity of a bill of sale that the attesting solicitor should have fully explained every part of the deed, appears to have survived the observations of the Court of Appeal in Hill v. Kirkwood (28 W. R. 358). As our readers will see from a case of Ex parte

last week, and it may be hoped that it has at last been settled. Lord Justice James distinctly laid it down that the attestation of the deed by a solicitor, with the statement in the attestation clause that he had explained the deed to the grantor, is all that the Act requires. The solicitor may be liable to punishment if he omits to explain the effect of the deed, but the deed itself will not be invalidated by the absence of such explanation, provided only the two requirements above mentioned exist.

THE MENTION of Sir George Jessel's name as a probable candidate for the representation of the University of London draws attention to the fact that the present Master of the Rolls is, not merely the only, but the last judge of the Supreme Court who will be eligible for election as a member of the House of Commons, section 5 of the Judicature Act, 1875, providing that no future judge shall be capable of sitting in the House of Commons. Among Masters of the Rolls who have held seats in the Lower House, the names of Kenyon, Arden, Grant, Leach, Copley, Pepys, and Romilly will at once be recalled. In 1853 a Bill was introduced into the House of Commons by the late Lord Hotham for the purpose of disqualifying the Master of the Rolls and certain ecclesiastical judges from sitting in the House, but it was thrown out on the third reading by a majority of 224 to 123. The large majority was generally attributed to the opposition of the late Lord Macaulay, whose speech against the measure was one of the greatest of his parliamentary successes. The minority in favour of the measure included Lord Selborne and the late Lord Chelmsford, while the late Lord Westbury, Sir A. Cockburn, and Mr. Gladstone were among the Noes. The judge of the Court of Admiralty formerly enjoyed the same exceptional privilege, and both Sir W. Scott and Dr. Lushington sat in the House of Commons while discharging judicial functions, but the latter was compelled to resign his seat for the Tower Hamlets at the first general election after the passing of the 3 & 4 Vict. c. 66, which disqualified the judge of the Admiralty Court. It may be remembered that when the question of the representation of the University of London was first mooted Sir J. Romilly expressed his willingness to become a candidate for that constituency; but when the Reform Act of 1867 was passed he had become a member of the Upper House. It is also worthy of notice that Lord Lyndhurst, while Master of the Rolls, sat for the University of Cambridge, and that Lord Stowell, while judge of the Admiralty Court, sat for the University of Oxford.

THE CORRESPONDENCE which has recently appeared in our columns upon the subject of affidavits by marksmen has raised questions which deserve the attention of the profession generally. Mr. Braithwaite having, in his reply to the question of our correspondent " J. H.," stated that it is still optional with the commissioner taking any such affidavit whether or no he shall read it over to the deponent, other correspondents have pointed out that rule 17 of the recently issued Rules of the Supreme Court makes it compulsory upon the commissioner to give at least a personal attention to such reading of the affidavit. Mr. Braithwaite's " reasons were, no doubt, based upon his knowledge of the official construction put upon the new rule, which we are informed is in practice as follows:-If the jurat to an affidavit sworn to by an "illiterate person" is so framed as to show that care has been taken to insure that such person has "apparently perfectly understood" the document, the spirit and intention of the rule are complied with-in other words, its real object is secured. Such a construction of the rule may, of course, only apply to the filing of the affidavit, but it is believed that no case has yet occurred
