THE INCONVENIENCE we pointed out some months ago

(23 SOLICITORS' JOURNAL, 693) in connection with the
purchase of Judicature stamps, has recently been aggra-
vated by an edict of the Inland Revenue Commissioners
abolishing the commission formerly allowed to law
stationers and others licensed to sell stamps. The
majority of these persons have now given up keeping
stamps for sale except as a matter of convenience
to their regular customers. Practically, therefore,
there is no place but the single room in the Royal
Courts of Justice, and Somerset House, at which practi-
tioners can obtain Judicature stamps. It is hardly
necessary to point out the waste of time and annoyance
caused to the profession by the change; and, moreover,
the position in the Royal Courts of Justice of the stamp
room is very ill-contrived. For instance, in setting
down a cause in the Chancery Cause Books the solicitor
finds these books in a room at one end of the building,
and has to go to the other end of the building and down
stairs into the basement, before he can obtain the neces-
sary stamp. The same inconvenience, considerably ag-
gravated, applies in the case of solicitors doing business
in the aerial offices of the Chancery Taxing Masters,
and in this latter case the solicitor does not necessarily
know beforehand the amount of the requisite stamps.

MR. WATKIN WILLIAMS, Q.C., in a letter published
in the Times this week, roundly accuses the re-
cent Copyright Commissioners (among whom were such
distinguished lawyers as Mr. Justice Stephen and Mr.
Herschell, Q.C.) of having misinterpreted the Copyright
Act, 1862, with reference to photographic copyright.
He contends that the copyright in photographic por-
traits does not belong to the sitter unless the sitter
