bound by the decision of the Appeal Court in Longman v. East. The court had there plainly decided that an action could not be referred to an official referee and that no official referee could direct judgment to be entered for the parties. Inferentially therefore the case also decided that there was no power to give notice of trial before an official referee. That case had been decided more than two years ago, and could not have escaped the attention of practitioners, and therefore he must allow the motion with costs.SOLICITORS, Church, Sons, & Clarke; Dubois & Reid. PRACTICE-COUNTER-CLAIM REFERRING TO ALLEGATIONS IN DEFENCE-MOTION TO EXCLUDE AS EMBARRASSING.-In a case of Williams v. Daniel, before the Master of the Rolls on the 23rd inst., a motion was made to exclude a counter-claim, on the ground that it was embarrassing. The action was one to set aside an agreement on the ground of fraud. The defence denied the fraud, and alleged the validity of the agreement, and by way of counter-claim the defendant claimed a sum due for commission under the agreement. The counter-claim, however, referred to the whole of the defence, and it was this reference that was considered embarrassing by the plaintiff, as it was argued that it would necessitate his going through the whole of the allegations in the defence, whether material or not, and denying or dealing with them in some other way. It was contended that the only allegations that were material to the counter-claim were that there was the agreement, and that the commission was due. JESSEL, M.R., took this view, and considered the counter-claim as drawn to be embarrassing, and therefore ordered it to be amended by stating specifically the allegations on which the defendants relied.-SOLICItors, Williams, James, & Wason; Jones, Blaxland, & Co. WILL CHARITABLE BEQUEST-REPAIR OF TOMB WHOLE FUND GIVEN TO VALID CHARITY. In a case of Re Rowe, Clifton v. Wilson, before the Master of the Rolls on the 26th inst., a testator had given a sum of money upon trust out of the income to maintain and keep in repair a grave, and subject thereto upon trust for certain charitable purposes. The residuary legatees contended that the whole gift was void and fell into the residue, and that his lordship should not follow his decision in Re Birkett (L. R. 9 Ch. D. 576), because certain of the earlier cases, where such gifts had been held wholly bad, were not referred to in the arguments, although they were commented upon in Fisk v. Attorney-General (L. R. 4 Eq. 521), and other cases which were cited. JESSEL, M.R., said that he was bound by authority to hold that the first part of the gift was bad, and that the whole went to the charities mentioned by the testator. In Re Birkett, although contrary to his own opinion, he had followed four decisions of courts of first instance within ten years all one way, and he could not now differ from his earlier opinion. The point should not have been argued before him.-SOLICITORS, Tippetts & Co.; Carritt & Son; Layton & Jaques; Giraud; Freshfields & Williams; Norris, Allens, & Carter; Lydall. MARRIED WOMAN-AGREEMENT TO CHARGE SEPARATE ESTATE-EXPECTANCY ON DEATH OF LIVING PERSON.-In a case of Flower v. Buller, before Denman, J. (sitting for Fry, J.), on the 27th inst., the question arose whether an agreement by a married woman to give a charge on her interest under the will of a living person, or as one of his next of kin in the event of his death intestate, was valid and enforceable against an interest which she afterwards acquired on the death of the person in question by a gift in his will to her separate use. DENMAN, J., held that the agreement was valid and that it could be enforced against the interest acquired under the will. He was of opinion that the decision of Malins, V.C., in Pike v. Fitzgibbon (28 W. R. 667, ante, p. 523), was an authority for so holding, and that the principle of the decision of Turner, L.J., in Johnson v. Gallagher (9 W. R. 506, 3 De G. F. & J. 494) was to the same effect.SOLICITORS, W. & J. Flower & Nussey; G. S. & H. Brandon. Law Students' Journal. UNITED LAW STUDENTS' SOCIETY. On Wednesday, the 21st inst., a meeting of this society was held at Clement's-inn Hall, Mr. C. Kains-Jackson in the chair. The subject of debate was, "That the Government Bill rendering employers liable for injuries to their workmen should be supported." Mr. Beaumont-Morice opened the debate, and was supported by Messrs. MottWhitehouse, Phillips, Robinson, Harvey, Pickersgill, and Maclaren; and opposed by Messrs. Rinner-Maxwell and D'A. B. Collier. Mr. Beaumont-Morice replied, and upon a division, the motion was carried by a majority of seven votes. On Monday, the 26th inst., a meeting of this society was held at the Law Institution. The following moot was then discussed:-"Is the principle of warranty of fitness as laid down in Smith v. Marrable (11 M. & W. 5), and Wilson v. Finch-Hatton (25 W. R. 537), capable of being extended to ordinary leases of houses? Manchester Bonding Warehouses Company v. Carr (42 L. T. N. S. 211)." Mr. Collyer opened the discussion in the affirmative; Messrs. Shera and Tillotson argued in favour of, and Messrs. Whitehouse, Owen, and Pickersgill argued against, the opinion of the opener. Mr. Collyer replied, and the chairman having summed up, the moot was decided in the affirmative. On Wednesday, the 28th inst., the usual weekly meeting of this society was held in Clement's-inn Hall, Mr. Dowson in the chair. The motion on the paper was, "That museums and picture-galleries should be open on Sundays." Mr. Kains-Jackson opened the debate, and was supported by Messrs. Spence, Foy, Owen, Warburton, Phillimore, Harvey, Maclaren, Donner, and Rundle-Levey, and op posed by Messrs. Collyer, Pickersgill, and Edlin. Upon & division the motion was carried by a majority of five votes. BIRMINGHAM LAW STUDENTS' SOCIETY. A meeting of this society was held in the Law Library, on Tuesday evening week, Mr. J. A. Vardy in the chair. After the election of Messrs. Smith and Ludlow as members of the committee, a debate took place on the following moot point :-"Is it desirable that the Married Women's Property Act Consolidation Bill, now before Parliament, should become law? The speakers on the affirmative side were Messrs. Vince, Barrows, and Rogers, and on the negative, Messrs. Barber, Blose, Smith, Cochrane, and O'Connor. Upon the question being put to the meeting it was decided in the negative. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the business of the meeting. This was the last meeting of the session. The autumn session will commence on Tuesday, September 7. In State v. Baltimore and Ohio Railway Company, it appears to have been held by the West Virginia Court of Appeal that a corporation may be indicted for Sabbath breaking. During service on Sunday week in the Irvine parish church, says the Scotsman, an elderly man rose and taking from his pocket a paper, addressed the minister by name, and commenced to read a long statement purporting to be an interdict forbidding certain lawyers and others in Irvine from proceeding with the sale of certain property. The document occupied about five minutes in reading, and minutely described the situation of the property down to the square yards it measured; bat as he apparently did not consider the statement sufficiently explanatory, he took out an extremely long handkerchief from his pocket and began a practical demonstration of the measurement. When the man had finished, the minister quietly asked some of the office-bearers to remove him, which was accordingly done without any disturbance taking place. He stated that what he had done was in pursuance of an old ecclesiastical law entitling people to claim publicly in church any property of which they were threatened to be dispossessed by legal action.

In the absence of evidence against you no bills of indictment could be preferred before the grand jury at these assizes, and you could not be tried; but the judges of assize, under their commissions, are to deliver the gaols' of the prisoners, and you could not be detained until September untried. You cannot be tried now, because the witnesses are bound over to appear in Septem ber, and you must, therefore, be discharged. you are all liable to be again apprehended; indictments may be preferred against you in September at the Surrey Sessions, and if true bills are found and you do not surrender yourselves, you may be apprehended and kept in prison until the next gaol delivery after the September Sessions. You will therefore find it probably for your advantage to surrender yourselves in time for trial at the next sessions in September, for by so doing you will avoid any imprisonment previous to your trial." But Solicitors' Cases. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE. (Before COCKBURN, L.C.J., and HAWKINS, J.) July 26.-In the Matter of a Solicitor. Wills, Q.C. (with whom was Murray), applied on behalf of the Incorporated Law Society for a rule nisi calling upon a solicitor to answer the matters of an affidavit, and to show cause why, in the event of his not doing so satisfactorily, he should not be struck off the rolls. In October, 1878, one Terraz, a Swiss, who had previously carried on business in the canton of Neufchatel, came to this country, having in his possession a sum of £800 belonging to his creditors. He at first placed £120 of this money in the hands of the solicitor in question, and before the date of his extradition for offences against the bankruptcy laws of Switzerland he had handed over to him a further £400. Application to the latter was made to pay over these moneys to the trustee in bankruptcy of Terraz. He at this time said they were invested in a security paying five per cent., and was called upon to pay over to the trustee the whole of the balance remaining in his hands after the payment of his costs. As he failed to do this, proceedings were instituted against him, and judgment in that action was given against him. At a subsequent examination before a master as to his assets, he said that none of the money of Terraz was left. The COURT granted a rule nisi. July 26.-In the Matter of a Solicitor. The Solicitor-General (with whom were Finlay and Warmington) appeared to show cause against a rule nisi obtained at the instance of one Moon calling upon solicitor to answer the matters of an affidavit. When the rule was obtained it was stated that the solicitor in question had raised money for Moon on mortgage, representing that it was lent by a client who required a considerable bonus to be paid to him. The applicant, it was alleged, had reason to believe that the money had not been lent by any client at all, the mortgagee being nominally a clerk of the solicitor in question named Phillpot, and really the solicitor himself. The learned counsel said that in his affidavit in answer to the matters in that of Mr. Moon the solicitor had sworn that all moneys belonging to Mr. Moon which had passed through his hands had been duly accounted for, and he contradicted all the statements made by Mr. Moon, with the exception that he admitted that Phillpot was his clerk. The object of the applicant was merely to harass the solicitor, as he had brought an action against him, the subject-matter of which was the same as the charges made against him in the affidavit he had been called upon to answer. Harrison, Q.C. (with whom was MacClymont), said he appeared in support of the rule. He was not prepared to admit that the object of the action in the Rolls Court was identical with that of the present application. It was really brought merely to get an injunction restraining the solicitor from selling the property mortgaged by Moon. After some further discussion, The COURT decided to refer the present application to the Master of the Rolls, intimating at the same time that they thought he should be informed that, in their opinion, from the facts before them, it should be disposed of after the determination of the suit.-Times. provided money at all either for bribery or treating. Also, there were some members of the Liberal executive committee whom he would like to examine for the same purpose. LUSH, J., said this application was the first of the kind that had occurred to him or his colleague, Mr. Justice Manisty, and, so far as he knew, it was the first that had been made since the administration of this branch of the law had been intrusted to the judges. They must rule that before they could allow what Mr. Cave desired they must, in justice to the other side, go on and hear all the evidence the petitioners had to offer. If the petitioners chose to say they would not consent to that, their lordships had no power to compel them. There was no alternative for them but to close the inquiry or to go on as if there bad been no surrender of the seat, and the latter course would now inflict great injustice on the petitioners by putting them to the expense of calling witnesses. If, after consideration, they should find it their duty to report that corrupt practices had extensively prevailed, then persons supposed to be implicated would have an opportunity of being heard before the commission which might be issued; but they would not be justified in continuing the inquiry when it could have no bearing upon the result. MANISTY, J., said to accede to this application would lead to very serious consequences. To report after hearing other evidence would be a very one-sided state of things. He thought for Mr. Kirby's own sake they ought not to go into what would be an ex parte inquiry which could not but be most unsatisfactory for the ends of justice. If there had been imputations of personal bribery against the sitting member, he would have been allowed the opportunity to disclaim it, but here there was no such imputation. Their lordships then decided that Sir H. M. Thompson had not been duly elected. The costs would follow the event. They should report to the House of Commons that corrupt practices had extensively prevailed, but in order not to prejudice the inquiry which might hereafter take place, they would not report the names of the persons implicated, unless required by the House of Commons to do so.
