at, and which they would continue to pursue to the utmost of their ability. With reference to the question put by Mr. Proudfoot, a solicitor would always have an option in the matter, and was not obliged to conduct a matter of business in a way he might object to.

Mr. MILLER would like to say a few words upon the subject of the call of solicitors to the bar, as it was one upon which a very large number of the profession had a very strong opinion. It seemed to him that they had been trying for some years past to get the slightest attention paid to the request that they made-a very reasonable request that if a solicitor had been admitted a solicitor for five years, he should be admitted at once to pass the final examination for the bar. He asked whether it was not possible for the council itself to bring in a Bill, during the next session of Parliament, giving authority to the council to fix such an examination as they might think necessary. He was prepared to move a resolution to that effect, so that the attention of the public and the Legislature should be forced upon the subject.

The PRESIDENT said he was much obliged to Mr. Miller, for it gave him the opportunity of saying that the view of the council was that their proper mode of proceeding further would be in the House of Commons, as they had tried the House of Lords as much as they could do. The pressure put upon the Inns of Court by Lord Cairns in addition to the action in the House of Commons, would, he believed, have prevailed; but next session the council would consider what it could do in the House of Commons, which he hoped would be a more favourable place for the discussion than the House of Lords.

Mr. EDMUND KIMBER suggested that a special circular should be sent round to the members calling their attention to the matter.

Mr. HOWLETT, of Brighton, as a member of one of a number of associated law societies, said that unfortunately Mr. Gregory's motion from various circumstances had never come on, but he knew that numerous members of Parliament had been spoken to and had been in the House ready to support Mr. Gregory.

Mr. KIMBER: Then I want to know, if that was the case, how it was the House was counted out ?

Mr. ELLETT, of Cirencester, hoped that no change would have the effect of preventing the common form business in the district registries being transacted by means of correspond

ence.

Those of them who lived in towns in which there were no district registrars must do one of two things, either employ agents or pass their papers through the post, and there was no difficulty whatever in transacting common form business through the post. They did not at all seek to uphold any principle that was objectionable, but they said it should be a part of the duty of the district registrar to receive through the post, and return through the post, all papers relating to common form and probate business.

The PRESIDENT said at the time the report was printed the matter was under discussion with the Associated Law Societies, and the council was therefore unable to state the conclusion at which they had arrived. The council came to the following resolution:-"That the practice of sending papers to district registrars by post is convenient and should be continued; that if it be necessary to pay fees for the transaction of such business, such fees should be paid by stamps; and that if any addition should be necessary to the emoluments of the registrars, in consequence of the increased trouble, it should be by addition to their salaries."

Mr. DEVONSHIRE asked the president to give some additional information as to the principle upon which the council were acting in reference to the question of determining and fixing the remuneration of solicitors. It appeared to him that the proper principle would be for the solicitors themselves, through their accredited representatives, the Council of the Incorporated Law Society, to take the initiative, so far as practicable, in fixing or indicating such a scale of remuneration as would be reasonable and proper, rather than have a tariff fixed for the solicitors by the judges, or by those who might be supposed to advise the judges. This would seem to be the rational principle on which to proceed. It would be expected by the profession that judicial, or official, sanction must to a certain extent continue, but the principle, and mode, and extent of remuneration ought certainly to be suggested in the first instance by the solicitors themselves. He merely mentioned

the matter with the view of asking that some attention should be given to it.

tors.

The PRESIDENT said that, with regard to solicitors' remuneration, their position was this: the late Lord Chancellor had introduced Bills relating to dealings with land which would have rendered it absolutely necessary that a total change should take place in the system of remuneration of solici Before his Bill was prepared the council drafted out a clause the object of which was to secure the initiative of this society in any proposal which was to be brought before the judges, and they felt most strongly the point which Mr. Devonshire had mentioned. No doubt it was extremely important to resist a new scale of charges being forced upon them by some authority without their having the chance of rejecting or resisting them. The Remuneration of Solicitors Bill, now in print, was not the Bill of the council, it was Lord Cairns' Bill, and the council would do its best to maintain its own view of the matters the measure comprehended.

The CHAIRMAN then put the motion for the adoption of the report, and it was carried unanimously.

Mr. JAMES WALTER, of Dulwich, moved the following resolution:-"In view of the protracted negotiations by the Law Society with the benchers of the several Inns of Court for re-adjusting the relation of solicitors with the respective Inns of Court, and their enforced exclusion from the practice of either branch of the profession for three years prior to being called to the bar-Resolved-That the Council of the Law

to

tionists.

Society do forthwith present a petition to the Lord Chancellor, praying his lordship to re-introduce his two Bills of 1875: the one to re-organize the Inns of Court, the other establish a school of law or legal university." In the course of an animated speech, Mr. Walter said they had had it from the president himself that it was utterly hopeless to expect the Houses to act for themselves to do solicitors justice. Two commissions had sat on this subject, one in 1846 and the other in 1855, and it was shown that the Inns of Court had no legal constitution, that they were mere clubs, and based their supremacy upon mere selfassertion. If a club in Pall Mall said that no one should enter the army unless he was a member of the Pall Mall Club, it would be said such action was unconstitutional, and it had been proved to demonstration that the Inns of Court, in the matters they controlled, were in precisely an analogous position. The House of Commons came to the conclusion that the benchers were a private society only, without recog nition from the State. It was quite time the Law Society determined to be played with no longer by these obstrucPublic opinion was moving in the same direction. The Times had written in support of such reform; the world was sick and tired of the system and the absence of security that a barrister would supply the service for which he had been paid. The then Mr. Lowe, in bis evidence before the committee, said, "My own impression is that the Inns of Court, as they are at present, constitute a university in a state of decay." What Lord Selborne proposed to do was to make a central board, which should have the conduct and rule of the whole profession, meeting under one common roof. He considered the council ought to go forward with a firm front, not going on their knees to pray for this and that; therefore he asked the council to adopt the resolution, and he asked the meeting to support the council in so doing, because in the negotiations which had taken place the benchers had been driven up to this point. "We almost think six months would be enough "--but there was all the difference in the world between thinking and acting. He knew as well as possible, from the position and character of these respectable old gentlemen, that if this resolution were carried, and Lord Selborne's scheme was also carried, they would give all the solicitors asked.

Mr. EDMUND KIMBER seconded the motion. Mr. CHARLES FORD, as an amendment, moved :-"That, in the opinion of this meeting, the time has passed for seeking, at the hands of the benchers, a modification of the rules of the Inns of Court, as affecting the call of solicitors to the bar, and that it be an instruction to the council to seek legislative interference upon the subject without further delay." The council felt themselves, in 1874, called upon to do something on this matter, and the council had done something. For his part he felt convinced that, when the public thoroughly understood this question, they would say it is a most monstrous regulation of the Inns of Court.

Mr. CLABON: As to the Bills, I am not at all sure at the

present moment we should like those Bills. At the time those Bills were prepared we were merely the nominees of the judges, and now this society is an examining body. The subject would require to be very carefully considered before this society assented to the proposal for a school of law. The society has not been lethargic; a little wisdom is necessary as well as a little energy. As far as I remember I believe the subject of our admission to the other branch of the profession is a matter on which the council have done all they can. The amendment is I think a proper one; the time has come when we must act independently of the benchers, and ask help from every honourable member. I therefore second the amendment with pleasure.

Mr. PROUDFOOT thought that a great deal too much was made of this question. There were very few solicitors who had lived a prosperous professional career who wished to change their status; and what would the public gain if a solicitor could walk from that hall to the Temple and be admitted to the bar; was it possible the interest of the public would be better attended to then than at present, and the fees made lower? The rules at the present moment were as good as rules could be, and if a gentleman desired to go from that branch of the profession to the other it was quite right that he should take a little time in order that he might prepare himself for the different sphere which he was desirous to enter; and if he was a young man it was quite proper he should have three years, if necessary, in order to prepare himself and make himself perfect for the position he was going to take. There was not one solicitor out of a hundred who wished to avail himself of the admission to the bar, and when he did get there he would do no good.

Mr. SAUNDERS (Birmingham) said the benefit would accrue in the case of a young man who had entered on a career and found he had made a mistake. The argument the bar had always made use of was that a solicitor, from his position and connections, would be able to take a position and clientele with him which would give him an advantage over members of the bar, unless a period of restriction was enforced. He thought whatever changes had been made did not remove the necessity for a law university.

Mr. GRINHAM KEEN (London) said theirs was the only class which was under such a peculiar ban, the accountant, law stationer, or anybody else, could carry on his business up to the very time he presented himself, but solicitors must leave off business and starve for three years before they could be admitted.

Mr. SHIRLEY (Doncaster) thought that to ask the Lord Chancellor to re-organize the Inns of Court was going beyond what was right. Solicitors did not constitute the lower branch of the profession, they all belonged to one grand profession, and the wiser plan was always to consider that, and be useful in their day and generation.

Mr. GREEN considered that practical common sense was rather learned in a solicitor's office than at the bar, and if there were many young men going over from the office to chambers it would lead to its introduction. There were heaps of people at the bar who had begun in the society's branch of the profession, and had succeeded at their ultimate calling, and to such a few years' experience in a solicitor's office would be of advantage.

Mr. WALTER, in reply, said there had been five years of attempted legislation, and they did not want another five years to elapse before legislation was accomplished. Those benchers would defend their monopoly to the last, nothing short of a wrench would get it out of them, and, therefore, he would not accept the amendment.

The PRESIDENT put the amendment to the meeting and declared it carried; and it was then put and adopted as a substantive resolution.

Mr. G. R. DODD (London) moved, "That this society takes this opportunity of expressing its great satisfaction at the recent institution of examinations for honours at the final examinations. That, for the further encouragement of persons bound, or about to be bound, under articles of clerkship, it is, in the opinion of this society, now expedient to establish scholarships and studentships, to be awarded at the preliminary and other examinations, and that for such purpose a sum of not less than £500 a year be paid out of the funds of the society. That the council be respectfully requested to make all requisite arrangements for carrying out the last resolution, and to frame the necessary regulations." He said he should be met with the answer that they had no funds, but that if they had the funds they could go on. He contended they had the funds and were perfectly justified in using them

for the purpose he suggested the fund he alluded to wasthe examination fund-that received from examination feeswhich was amply large enough, amounting during the past year to upwards of eight thousand pounds, to say nothing of some other fees which might be reasonably included in the fund indicated. The balance-sheet of 1878 showed no less a sum than ten thousand pounds received for examination fees, whilst the amount expended was under four thousand. Section 8 of the Act provided that all moneys paid to the society in pursuance of the Act, in respect of examinations, shall be applied by the society to the expenses from time to time incurred for such examinations, and there might be made a very large surplus applicable to the establishment of scholarships and studentships.

Mr. RANCE, of Cambridge, seconded the resolution.

The CHAIRMAN: The question of the policy of establishing scholarships and studentships has never been deliberately considered. It would require careful consideration; but the preliminary question is the question of means. It must not be lost sight of that, besides the payment of salaries tolecturers, there is the cost of those rooms which have been specially built for the examinations, in respect of which there is a considerable debt now hanging over us. There is also a very large part of the general expenses, in this way, in the shape of salaries to servants, as a very considerable part of the business which is done here concerns those examinations. Besides that, we are now called on by many gentlemen who complain of so many parts of this building being used for these examinations to erect new rooms for this purpose, and I am afraid, in the present state of the finances, it would be impossible for us to undertake this expense.

Mr. W. M. WALTERS, of New-square, pointed out that they could not at present analyze the accounts and say how much was devoted to the examinations; four thousand seven hundred pounds were devoted entirely to the examinations, and the disbursement balance of twelve thousand pounds then remaining might be considered as belonging, half to the examinations, and balf to the general business of the society. It would be better to proceed steadily and with caution, but if people would come forward and make endowments, studentships and scholarships might be given; at present it would be prudent to hold their hand.

Mr. DODD, in reply, said that four thousand pounds of debt had been paid off during the past year; that was got out of the examination fees, so that they were paying off the debt at the expense of the articled-clerks. As to endow ments, the society had always looked forward to endowments, and, at last, had only one, and that of small amount. The society had twenty thousand a year income, and half of that was received from examination fees and other matters which came within that term. If the examination fees were not sufficient, by all means raise them; they were now lower in proportion than medical and other examining bodies charged.

The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution to the few members who remained in the hall, and it was lost by 16 to 9.

A vote of thanks to the president for his conduct in the chair was passed, at the instance of Mr. William Williams, seconded by Mr. Melville Green, for which Mr. Lawrence returned his sincere thanks.
