EVIDENCE.

A GENTLEMAN, who has had the entire charge

of several heavy cases in litigation, and who has just returned from a tour round the world, which he has made on behalf of an eminent firm of Solicitors in Lincoln's-inn, having brought to a successful issue the object of his mission, is prepared to undertake the getting up of evidence and the obtaining of reliable information in any litigious matter of importance. He has very exceptionable facilities for obtaining information in London; is personally acquainted with every town of importance in Great Britain and Ireland; and has trustworthy Agents in all parts of America, India, Australia, and New Zealand. He does not solicit work which would fall within the province of, or could be undertaken by, an ordinary clerk, and may be treated in any matter intrusted to him, so far as confidence and secrecy are concerned, as one of the firm; and as he undertakes but one matter at the time, he is prepared, as hitherto, to devote his whole and undivided attention to it. The Advertiser wishes it understood that he accepts instructions exclusively through the medium of the Legal Profession, and any firm of Solicitors may avail themselves of his services without its ever being known, should such be deemed advisable, in what actual capacity he is acting in the matter.

For obvious reasons the Advertiser does not here give his name and address, but will be happy to furnish (to Solicitors only) all particulars and references to firms of the highest standing on receipt of communication, or he will be happy to wait personally upon any Solicitor in the United Kingdom at his (the Advertiser's) own expense upon receipt of a request so to do.-Solicitors will please address, LEGAL, 117, Chancery-lane, W.C.

THE LIST OF APPEALS for Michaelmas Sittings contains 259 appeals in all, of which 115 are from the Chancery

Division and 103 from the three common law divisions. At the beginning of last Trinity Sittings there were 196 appeals in the paper, and at Michaelmas last year 274. The Chancery Cause List contains 452 causes; of which 122 are before the Master of the Rolls, 97 before ViceChancellor Malins, 54 before Vice-Chancellor Bacon, 90 before Vice-Chancellor Hall, and 89 before Mr. Justice Fry. When Trinity Sittings began there were only 364 causes in these lists, but this time last year the number was 529. These lists indicate that all the judges of the Chancery Division, as well as the Appeal Court, will be fully employed during the ensuing sittings.

IT IS ANNOUNCED that Sir John Mellor has, at the request of the Lord Chancellor, consented to go the Northern Circuit at the ensuing winter assizes in place of Mr. Baron Huddleston. We presume that the point has received the attention of the authorities whether an ex-judge can be included in the commission of assize. The question seems to depend upon the construction of two sections of the Judicature Act, 1873, which are, apparently, exhaustive:-Firstly, by section 29," her Majesty, by commission of assize, may assign to any judge of the High Court, or other persons usually named in commissions of assize, the exercise of any civil or criminal jurisdiction capable of being exercised by the High Court." Secondly, by section 37, subject to any arrangements by agreement between the judges," the sittings of judges... under commissions of assize, oyer and terminer, and gaol delivery shall be held by or before judges of the Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, or Exchequer Division of the High Court. Provided that it shall be lawful for her Majesty, if she shall

Chancery Division, . . . or any serjeant-at-law, or any of her Majesty's counsel learned in the law." Any question of fact which might arise as to who are usually" named in commissions of assize, within section 29, seems to be disposed of by the terms of section 37, which enumerates all the classes of persons "usually named." We presume that Sir John Mellor is considered to derive his jurisdiction from the fact that he is nominally a serjeant; it being well known that every judge before the Judicature Act was first created a serjeant before being sworn in a judge. Apparently, the country will hereafter lose the benefit of the services, in the capacity of assize commissioners, of ex-judges who have been appointed after the Judicature Act.

"IF A PURCHASER," said Lord Tenterden, "unwisely bargains to pay for such title as another has, it is his own fault if his money is placed in hazard by the insufficiency of the title." But there are, of course, degrees of unwisdom in purchasers who agree to take such title as the vendor has. A purchaser who agrees to take from a private owner, without question or investigation, a title which he knows to have been frequently investigated, stands at the top of the scale; a purchaser, under such a condition, of salvage lands from a Sanitary Authority stands a good deal lower down in the scale. These authorities, no doubt, rely upon the impression produced by their being armed with the powers of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Acts, under which, they contend, infirmity of title to the lands they purchase may be practically cured. It appears from the report of the Bristol Incorporated Law Society, which will be found in another column, that the Sanitary Authority of that city have adopted the practice, on selling their salvage lands, of providing that their title shall be accepted without question or investigation, and that the purchaser shall not require any covenant for title or production of deeds. It appears to us that the Authority, and purchasers from them, overlook a serious doubt which may be raised upon the provisions of the Public Health Act, 1875, under which the Sanitary Authority purport to sell their salvage land. Section 175 provides that "any lands acquired by a local authority, in pursuance of any powers in this Act contained, and not required for the purpose for which they were acquired, shall (unless the Local Government Board otherwise direct) be sold at the best price that can be gotten for the same." Can land sold under the depreciatory condition we have mentioned, throwing all the risk of a defective title on the purchaser, be said to be sold "at the best price that can be gotten"? It is no part of our business to attempt an answer to this question, but we think the Authority will be well advised to reconsider their cavalier resolution "that no alteration be made in the conditions of sale."

THE HIDEOUS STRUCTURE in the Strand is perhaps the least of the grievances of which practitioners in the Royal Courts will have to complain, as resulting from the desire of the City authorities to commemorate Temple Bar. The roadway on the north side of the structure, having been widened by abstracting nine feet from the footway immediately in front of the Royal Courts, is now being paved with granite, and a portion of the wood pavement already existing on the Fleet-street side has been torn up, to be replaced with stone. It is obvious that the annoyance to the officers and practitioners who have to transact business in the legal offices, arising from the noise of wheels on the granite, will be very great. It was always understood that the whole roadway in front of the Royal Courts would be paved with wood as soon as the line of the footway had been definitely ascertained, but it appears that in this, as in other respects,
