ing of the comptroller, nothing in the nature of a litis contestatio had been raised between him and the trustee. If the court made an order on the comptroller's report it would be acting ex mero motu. There would be nothing like a lawsuit between the comptroller and the trustee. Of course, the trustee would be entitled to appeal if an order was made against him which he thought unjust. But when the judge had (rightly or wrongly) come to the conclusion that no order ought to be made, there ought not to be any appeal from his decision. The expression" person aggrieved" did not mean a person who was disappointed of a benefit which he might have received if an order had been made different from that which was made; it meant a person who, by reason of the order, had suffered some grievance or injury to his property or otherwise. On this principle, in Ex parte Ellis (L. R. 2 Ch. D. 797), the grantee of a bill of sale was allowed to appeal against an adjudication of bankruptcy against the grantor, founded upon the execution of the bill of sale as an act of bankruptcy; and in Ex parte Walter (24 W. R. 834, L. R. 2 Ch. D. 326), it was held that creditors who had not been heard before the registrar on an application for the registration of liquidation resolutions, or before the Chief Judge on an application to cancel the registration, had a locus standi to appeal from the Chief Judge's order. In the first case the adjudication destroyed the title of the bill of sale holder; in the second case the registration or non-registration of the resolutions affected all the creditors equally. In the present case no one was prejudiced by the order of the county court judge, except in so far as he had lost something which he might have received if a different order had been made. But there was nothing in the order to embarrass him in any proceedings he might desire to take against the trustee. It the trustee had been guilty of any misfeasance, the bankrupt or any of the creditors had a right under section 20 to proceed against him, not because the comptroller had made a report to the court, but was entitled to make out a case of his own against the trustee, and if he applied in that way to the court he would be in the position of a litigant, and could appeal from the order made by the court if he was dissatisfied with it. BRAMWELL, L.J., said that the bankrupt was not entitled to appeal, not so much because he was under a personal disability, as because no one but the comptroller was entitled to appeal. And his lordship said that he came to this conclusion the more readily because, under the provisions of section 20, there could be a Aitis contestatio between the trustee and the bankrupt or any of the creditors. JAMES, L.J., added that Ex parte Ditton was not a decision that a creditor could appeal from the refusal of the judge to act on the report of the comptroller. That point was not fully argued then, the respondent's counsel having been stopped by the court. The decision was only this, that a person who said he was a creditor, but who had not proved any debt in the bankruptcy, was not entitled to appeal.—SOLICITORS, Le Riche & Son; Phelps, Sidgwick, & Biddle.

The

WILL-CONSTRUCTION-SUBSTITUTION-DEATH OF LEGATEE BEFORE DATE OF WILL.-In a case of Leigh v, Patten, before the Court of Appeal on the 14th inst., the question arose whether a gift in a will to a class of legatees or their children, if they were dead, applied to the children of one of the legatees who was dead at the date of the will. testator gave to his wife a life interest in all his property, real and personal, and after her death he directed that the residue should be sold and the proceeds divided into thirds. And he gave one-third to "the brothers of my said wife or the children of the same, if they be dead when this portion of my will comes into force, they only taking the share which would have been their parents' portion bad they been living at the decease of my wife." The wife survived the testator. She had four brothers. One of them died before the date of the will. Two died after the testator, but before the wife. The fourth survived the wife. Each of the three who died before the wife left children who were living at her death. Hall, V.C., held that the brother who survived, and the children of the three who were dead, were entitled to a third of the residue. The Court of Appeal (JAMES, BAGGALLAY, and BRAMWELL, L.JJ.) held that the case was governed by Christopherson v. Naylor (1 Mer. 320), and that the children of the brother who had died before the date of the will were not entitled to participate. SOLICITORS, Hughes & Son; Gregory, Rowcliffes, & Rawle.

WILL-DEVISE ON TRUST For Sale-SalE BY CUSTOMARY HEIR OF SURVIVING TRUSTEE.-In a case of In re Morton and Hallett, before the Court of Appeal on the 14th inst., the question arose, upon a summons under the Vendor and Purchaser Act, whether the person who had purported to sell real estate under a trust for sale could make a good title to it. A testator devised all his freehold and copyhold estates to W. and M. and their heirs, to hold to them and their heirs, upon trust that they, his said trustees, or the trustees or trustee for the time being of that his will, should permit his wife to receive the rents for her life, and immediately after her death, upon trust that they, his said trustees, or the trustees or trustee for the time being of that his will, should sell the said freehold and copyhold hereditaments, and should stand possessed of the proceeds of sale upon certain trusts. And he empowered his said trustees, or the trustees or trustee for the time being of his will, to give receipts for all moneys arising from the sale of his real estate. The will contained a power of appointing new trustees in certain events, the power being given to "the said trustees or trustee." The persons appointed by the will as trustees were also appointed executors and trustees of the personal estate. After the death of the tenant for life the customary heir of the surviving trustee, who had been admitted to the copyholds, consented to sell a part of them. The purchaser objected that he could not make a good title. Jessel, M.R., held that he could, and this decision was affirmed by the Court of Appeal (JAMES, BAGGALLAY, and BRAMWELL, L.JJ.). In the course of the argument the recent case of Osborne v. Rowlett (28 W. R. 365, L. R. 13 Ch. D. 774, ante, p. 271) was referred to. In that case, it will be rememin Cooke v. Crawford (13 Sim. 91), and refused to follow bered, Jessel, M. R., expressed his dissent from the decision it. In the present case both JAMES, L.J., and BAGGALLAY, L.J., intimated an opinion that Cooke v. Crawford could not be considered as overruled. Taylor & Joseph; Marsden, & Son. SOLICITORS, Tamplin,

SOLICITORS' BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION. The usual monthly meeting of the board of directors of this association was held at the Law Institution, London, on Wednesday, May 12, Mr. Sidney Smith in the chair, the other directors present being Messrs. Asker (Norwich), Brook, Hedger, Kays, Roscoe, Rose, Styan, Veley (Chelmsford), and Woolbert (Mr. Eiffe, secretary). A sum of £250 was distributed in grants of relief among eleven necessitous families of solicitors, thirty-four new members were added to the association, and other general business transacted.

THE SOVEREIGN LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY.

The annual general meeting of the above company was held on the 5th inst., at the offices in St. James's-street; Sir James Carmichael, Bart. (the chairman of the board of directors), occupying the chair.

The report and statement of accounts submitted to the meeting stated that up to the close of the year the board had issued 415 policies for £168,985, yielding a new premium income of £5,493 2s. 11d. The present year exhibited a very marked increase in the new business. The unusual amount paid within the last year or two for the surrender of policies from inability to maintain them, whilst it had affected the premium income, had relieved the office of considerable liability. The dividend at the same rate as before-5 per cent. on the original capital-was recommended by the directors.

The CHAIRMAN said that, notwithstanding the depression which existed last year, they had received 511 proposals for insurance, amounting to no less than £266,290, and that out of those proposals the office accepted 415, which insured the sum of £168,985, and policies were issued to that amount, which produced a new premium income of nearly £5,500. Since the beginning of the present year the income from rew policies was nearly double that of the corresponding period of 1879; but claims had been rather heavier than usual,

which might be accounted for by the death of several gentlemen who were insured in nearly every office in London. On the other hand, however, the expenses had been somewhat less than during the previous year. With regard to the change of offices from St. James's-street to Cannon-street, and putting all the business under one roof-they began in 1845 as an entirely West-end office, and for many years had prospered in that shape; they then acquired a City business, and for a considerable number of years had bad City and West-end offices. Now they happened to have become possessed of a valuable block of business premises in the City, and thought that it would be well to occupy that block and concentrate their City and West-end business. Perhaps it might be said that the West-end business would be to a cer tain extent damaged, but the directors thought not, and, for the last few years, they had been gradually increasing the City business and decreasing that of the West-end. They would save considerably by putting all the business under one roof, and would have a very valuable freehold property in St. James's-street to dispose of. Taking all those things together they would probably increase their income very considerably by adopting the course proposed. It was hoped that in the course of two or three weeks the sexennial valuation report of the actuary would be ready, when it should be at once printed and circulated amongst the proprietors. He moved the adoption of the report and statement of accounts. Colonel BATHURST seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously.

Mr. ALEXANDER EVORS moved that a dividend of 5 per cent. on the original capital be declared and paid.

This was seconded by Mr. JAMES MILES, and carried. Resolutions were also adopted re-electing the retiring director and auditors, and awarding votes of thanks to the directors and officers of the company.

LAW STUDENTS' DEBATING SOCIETY, The weekly meeting of this society was held at the Law Institution, Chancery-lane, on Tuesday evening last, Mr. Lloyd Jones in the chair. The question appointed for the evening's debate, was the following "Should the education of barristers and solicitors in the theory of the law be conducted in common?" and was opened in the negative by Mr. Collier. After a discussion in which several gentlemen took part, the question was put to the meeting, and decided in the affirmative by a majority of two votes.

UNITED LAW STUDENTS' SOCIETY.

A meeting of the above society was held at Clement'sinn Hall on the evening of Wedne-day last, when Mr. R. Gwynne Templer opened in the affirmative the subject for debate-viz., “That the franchise has been undesirably extended," and was supported by Messrs. T. Mott-Whitehouse, E. F. Spence, and D'A. B. Collyer; whilst Messrs. T. B. Napier, N. F. Synnot, P. Pain, H. Lawless, and E. H. Pickersgill, opposed. Mr. Templer having replied, and the chairman (Mr. C. Kains-Jackson) summed up, the motion was put to the vote and carried by a majority of one.

BIRMINGHAM LAW STUDENTS' SOCIETY.

The mock trial held on Thursday at the Midland Institute, in connection with this society, formed an agreeable break in the ordinary routine work of the society, and, as usual, attracted a large audience, a large proportion being ladies. The case chosen for hearing was one in which Patrick O'Flinn, who was personated by Mr. Jevons, was indicted for having on the 1st of April, 1880, at the borough of Aylesbury, committed an aggravated assault upon one Adelphus Ellis, which character was taken by Mr. Lane. Mr. Hugo J. Young, of the Oxford Circuit, was the judge, and twelve members of the society were sworn in as the jury. The office of clerk to the court was undertaken by Mr. Bayley. The counsel for the prosecution were Messrs. F. Harvey Samuel and Cecil Crosskey (instructed by Messrs. Ludlow &Pope); whilst the prisoner was represented by Messrs. W. Showell Rogers and C. J. Edwards (instructed by Messrs. Davis & Smith). Evidence as to the assault was

given by Police-constable Catchem (Mr. L. Crosskey) and Mr. Jackett Westcott (Mr. Mason); and rebutting evidencewas given by Mr. George Lancet (Mr. Barrows), Mr. Thomas Ballance (Mr. Nevill), and Dr. Octavius Pillsford (Mr. Gover). The case, as opened by the counsel for the prosecution, and supported by the prosecutor and his two witnesses, was that on the day in question he presided over a meeting held at the Vine and Cypress, in support of the Conservative candidates, Sir Bartholomew Bung and Colonel Broadsword. The meeting, which was very largely attended, was a noisy one, and it was impossible for the chairman or the candidates to obtain a hearing. In the middle of the room was a knot of persons who did their utmost to break the meeting up, and the prisoner, it was said, was the ringleader. After vain attempts to restore order, Police-constable Catchem was called in to eject the prisoner, and it was alleged that while doing so prisoner said, "I'll do for Dolly," that being the name the prosecutor was familiarly known by. The meeting afterwards broke up in confusion; the chairman and candidates were hustled a great deal, and outside were received with a volley of rotten eggs, dead cats, and sundry other disagreeable things.. Prisoner was identified as having, with unerring aim, sent a rotten egg between the prosecutor's eyes, and also as having followed this up by striking him on the head with a shillelagh, and rendering him partially unconscious. It was admitted for the defence that the meeting was a turbulent one, though it was denied that the prisoner, who was said to be a member of the Society of Friends, had taken any part in disturbing the proceedings. A denial was given to his having used the words "I'll do for Dolly "; and it was urged that the words were "I never saw such folly." When outside a person leaned over the prisoner and struck the prosecutor with a cudgel, and having done this ran away, leaving the cudgel on the ground. Prisoner picked it up, and prosecutor, seeing him with it, accused him of the assault and gave him into custody. These facts having been corroborated by witnesses, the judge summed up, and explained the law to the jury, who, having consulted together for a few moments, returned a verdict of not guilty, and the prisoner was acquitted. The characters were admirably sustained, and the humorous points in the case were well brought out by the witnesses and the counsel.

At a meeting of this society held on Tuesday, May 18, in the Law Library, Mr. C. E. Mathews in the chair, a debate took place upon the following moot point :-" Would the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Debenham v. Mellor

which decided that the presumption of the wife's authority to pledge her husband's credit for necessaries suitable to her station, may be rebutted by showing that he had forbidden her to do so, although the tradesman had no notice of the fact-be sustained on appeal to the House of Lords. If so, can the law be deemed satisfactory?”— Manby v Scott (2 Smith's L. C., 7th ed., p. 434, see also p. 480, and cases cited); Jolly v. Rees (15 C. B. N. S. 628, 10 L. T. N. S. 298); Debenham v. Mellor (28 W. R. 501). The speakers on the affirmative were Messrs. Pritchett, Steere, Davis, Barber, and Samuel, and on the negative, Messrs. Crosskey, Gover, Platuaner, Ludlow, Rogers, and Barrows. After an able summing up by the chairman the question was put to the meeting and carried in the affirmative. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the meeting.

It is stated that the Lord Advocate (Mr. M'Laren), the Dean of Faculty, the Solicitor-General for Scotland (Mr. Balfour), and Mr. J. H. A. Macdonald, late Solicitor-General for Scotland, have been appointed Queen's Counsel of the Scotch Bar.

Mr. Jones-Roberts, coroner for Anglesey, concluded an inquiry at Menai-bridge on Saturday as to the death of Mr. William Rowlands Parry, a solicitor practising at Bangor. On Thursday night he accompanied a friend to Pen Nebo, and left, perfectly sober, about one o'clock on Friday morning. He had barely got out of the gate on to the road when the noise of a fall was heard, and it was found that he had fallen over a dwarf wall into a field, a depth of about eight feet. He was picked up unconscious, and died about three hours afterwards from concussion of the brain. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death."

Legislation of the Week.

May 20.-QUEEN'S SPEECH.

The following are the parts of the Queen's Speech relating to legislation :

"The late season of the year at which you commence your labours will, I fear, seriously abridge the time available for useful legislation, but I make no doubt that you will studiously turn it to the best account.

"The Peace Preservation Act for Ireland expires on the 1st of June. You will not be asked to renew it. My desire to avoid the evils of exceptional legislation in abridgment of liberty would not induce me to forego in any degree the performance of the first duty of every Government in providing for the security of life and property. But, while deter mined to fulfil this sacred obligation, I am persuaded that the loyalty and good sense of my Irish subjects will justify me in relying on the provisions of the ordinary law, firmly administered, for the maintenance of peace and order.

"The provisions enacted before the dissolution of the late Parliament for the mitigation of distress in Ireland have been serviceable for that important end. The question of the sufficiency of the advances already authorized by Parliament is under my consideration.

"A measure will at an early day be submitted to you for putting an end to the controversies which have arisen with respect to burials in churchyards and cemeteries.

"It will be necessary to ask you to renew the Act for Secret Voting.
