TRINITY EXAMINATION, 1881.

Examination of Candidates for Studentships, Honours, and Pass Certificates.

The attention of students is requested to the following rules:

As an encouragement to tudents to study jurisprudence and Roman law, twelve studentships of one hundred guineas each shall be established, and divided equally into two classes; the first class of studentships to continue for two years, and to be open for competition to any student as to whom not more than four terms shall have elapsed since he kept his first term; and the second class to continue for one year only, and to be open for competition to any student, not then already entitled to a studentship as to whom not less than four and not more than eight terms shall have elapsed since he kept his first term; two of each class of such studentships to be awarded by the council, on the recommendation of the committee, after every examination before Hilary and Trinity Terms respectively, to the two students of each set of competitors who shall have passed the best examination in both jurisprudence and Roman law. But the committee shall not be obliged to recommend any studentship to be awarded if the result of the examination be such as in their opinion not to justify such recommendation.

"Another Firm of Solicitors of Forty Years' Standing write to the Times :-"The gentlemen who addressed you on the 17th inst. must consider themselves highly favoured in having had to wait only ten days for the PaymasterGeneral's certificate of the state of a fund in court. Our last experience of this routine requirement was that we were kept waiting for a similar thing (so short when supplied that an office-boy could have copied it out in three or four minutes) over two months, and we only got it then through the personal request or remonstrance of the Vice-Chancellor. At the same time we heard of another case, where there was a delay of close upon six months, though the money was urgently required, and very constant application, as in our case, was made, the answer given being that the too small staff in the office was greatly over-taxed, and that to further hasten this work would break down the office. Now, when we consider that the Paymaster-General is, in point of fact, the suitor's banker and nothing more, what must be thought of a system which will not allow the suitor to know the state of bis balance under six or two months, or even ten days? Such information ought to be ready the day after it is asked for, just as our pass-book is the day after it is left to be entered up."

This case had been remitted some time ago to the Wandsworth County Court by the Common Pleas Division. The plaintiff claimed £40 for goods sold and delivered, and on the 3rd of December, 1878, he obtained a judgment for £22 with costs, both of the superior court and the county court, which were taxed at £23 6s. 4d. Execution was shortly afterwards taken out against the defendant's goods, and met by a bill of sale. A judgment summons was then taken out against the defendant, and the judge committed him for ten days, suspending the warrant for one month. On leaving the court the defendant openly expressed his determination never to pay the debt, and at the end of the month he was arrested and went to prison for ten days. Some time after another judgment summons having been taken out against bim, the judge made a new order for payment of the debt and costs by monthly instalments of only £2, whereupon the defendant again declared that he never would pay anything.. A third judgment summons was ultimately taken out for non-payment of the first instalment of 12. It was then proved that the defendant had been engaged in building houses, and had money at command. The judge accordingly committed him for forty days, and the defendant again declared he would never pay the debt.

Ambrose Haynes, on behalf of the plaintiff, now applied with reference to the matter.

His HONOUR said that the question appeared to be whether the new order, which restricted the rights of the plaintiff, was to be regarded as a distinct order within the meaning of the 5th section of the Debtors Act, 1869, or whether it was to be regarded as substantially the same order as the original judgment in the action. If the first view were correct the defendant was liable to commitment and imprisonment, and such was his opinion; but if thesecond view were correct the case of Evans v. Wills (L. R. 1 C. P. D. 229) would apply. In consequence of the difference of opinion existing on this subject, the registrar had, with his approval, declined to issue the order until the opinion of the High Court of Justice had been taken on the point. This could be done by the defendant applying for a probibition against further proceedings or by the plaintiff applying for a rule to issue the order. The Act of Parliament in question was, in his opinion, very obscure and difficult of construction.

(To be continued.)

The Standard Fire Office (Limited) invite applications for an issue of £500,000 in shares of £10 each, on which it is intended to call up £2 10s. per share. A dividend of six per cent. was paid by the company for 1879, and £5,000 was carried to reserve. The undivided balances for 1879 and 1880 will, it is estimated, provide for a like dividend, and enable a further sum of £5,000 to be carried to reserve.
