the curious branch of law, of recent development, relating to expulsion of members or officers of voluntary societies. In all these cases there are two questions to be decided: first, were the rules of the society properly complied with as regards the meeting at which the expulsion or dismissal was resolved upon; and if so, secondly, were the proceedings at the meeting such as, according to the rules laid down by the court for conducting "quasijudicial proceedings," ought to have been adopted? In Mr. Labouchere's case there was no need for the inquiry to go beyond the first of these questions. It was plain that the meeting at which he was dismissed was not properly convened, and that the resolution of expulsion was not properly passed under the rules. The question of general interest as to the regulations which the court has laid down for the conduct of inquiries by committees of clubs was only briefly touched upon by the Master of the Rolls, but these regulations were fully stated by him in the recent case of Fisher v. Keane 106 (L. R. 11 Ch. D. 353). The committee of a club, he said, are a judicial or quasi-judicial tribunal," and when proceeding under their rules against a member of the club for alleged misconduct, they aro bound to act according to the ordinary principles of justice, and must not convict a man of a grave offence, which shall warrant his expulsion from the club, without fair, adequate, and sufficient notice, and an opportunity of meeting the accusations brought against him. If the committee proceed ex parte, without notice to the accused member, and without hearing all the circumstances of the case, the court will grant an injunction to restrain them from interfering with his rights of membership. The point which apparently remains to be settled is whether by any express provision in the rules of a club enabling the committee, at their absolute discretion, to recommend the ex

IN AN INTERESTING and able article in this month's issue of the Fortnightly Review, Mr. Osborne Morgan has traced the history of the different schemes for facilitating land transfer in England, and has pointed attention to what is in reality the practical result of the consideration of the subject by his Select Committee. It is, to use the words of the report, that "simplicity of transfer, to be of any value, pre-supposes simplicity of title, and to legislate for the registration of titles without, as a preliminary step, simplifying the titles to be registered, is to begin at the wrong end." The good sense of this suggestion will not be disputed. It is doubtful whether we are ready for the trial of any system of registration, whether of titles or assurances, except as a tentative measure to cure the evils of the Middlesex Registry. On the other hand, it is clear that we cannot stop short in the coarse of conveyancing reform on which we have entered, and there is now, we believe, practical agreement among the members of the profession as to the desirability of several of the reforms suggested by the committee. The adoption of the ad valorem scale of charges, which lies at the root of the whole matter, is generally admitted to be desirable, and as soon as this is settled, the subject of mortgages will be ripe for legislation. Mr. Osborne Morgan says that, according to competent witnesses, the adoption of the suggestion of the committee that for legal mortgages there should be substituted a simple charge, will effect a saving of several millions a year.

this doctrine? The Darlington School case (12 L. J. Q. B. 124, 14 L. J. Q. B. 69) seems to show that a dismissal under a power to trustees to dismiss, according to their sound discretion," will not be interfered with by the court; but Dean v. Bennett (19 W. R. 363, L. R. 6 Ch. 489) has seriously shaken the earlier decision, and it would seem from this last case that even where an apparently arbitrary power of expulsion or dismissal is given, the court will insist on the exercise of "a bona fide discretion," involving a quasi-judicial inquiry.

THE COURT OF APPEAL demolished on Wednesday a rather irrational limitation of a useful doctrine. In the recent case of Ex parte Dale (27 W. R. 815 L. R. 11 Ch. D. 772), Mr. Justice Fry, contrary to his own view of the true principle of equity, held that the rule as to following trust moneys which applies as between trustee and cestui que trust, does not apply to any other person acting in a fiduciary capacity, such as a factor or agent. His lordship conceived that he was bound to come to this conclusion by reason of a number of authorities, such as Whitecomb v. Jacob (1 Salk. 101); Ex parte Dumas (1 Atk. 232); Ex parte Sayers (5 Ves. 169); Taylor v. Plumer (3 M. & S. 562) and Scott v. Surman (Willes 400). But in a case of In re Hallett, the Court of Appeal, on Wednesday last, while affirming another decision of Mr. Justice Fry, in effect reversed his decision in Ex parte Dale. The facts in In re Hallett were that a client had intrusted to her solicitor some Russian Bonds for safe custody, and had also authorized him to receive the amount of the half-yearly coupons and pay it over to her. He accounted to her from time to time for the amount of the coupons, but before his death, he, without her authority, sold the bonds, and paid the proceeds of sale to the credit of his own current account with his bankers. At the time of his death his estate was insolvent, and Mr. Justice Fry held that the client was en
