BIRMINGHAM LAW STUDENTS' SOCIETY, The thirty-fourth annual meeting and dinner in connection with the Birmingham Law Students' Society were held on Wednesday evening, at the Grand Hotel. Mr. J. MOTTERAM, Q.C., judge of the county court, presided; and there was a good attendance. The usual loyal toasts were proposed by the PRESIDENT; after which

Mr. O'CONNOR read the report of the committee, which showed that during the year 6 honorary members had joined the society and 10 had left. The total number of honorary members was 227, against 220 last year. During the year 16 new ordinary members joined the society, 11 were admitted solicitors, and thus would become honorary members, while

The PRESIDENT then delivered an address, in which he spoke of the many changes in the law which had taken place within the last twenty years-changes which in many respects, although not in all, had been very beneficial in their results. The distinction between law and equity no longer existed, the Judicature Act had broken it down, and law and equity could now be administered by the same judge in the same court. The present Lord Chancellor and Lord Cairns had brought about a great many reforms in the laws of the country, and although the changes had not at present produced absolutely beneficial results, yet the imperfections would undoubtedly in time be removed. He next called attention to the amazing and almost incredible increase of litigation within the last forty years, although the number of the courts and judges had been increased. The arrears in the courts were enormous, and the country was crying out for redress. Had it not been for the creation of county courts in 1846, and the extension of the jurisdiction, it was scarcely possible to conceive what would bave been the state of things which must have existed owing to the inefficient legal machinery which was engaged in the performance of the work which devolved upon the courts. In 1878, the amount for which plaints were entered was £3,464,750, and the work necessarily attendant upon those plaints would have fallen in a great measure upon the High Courts, had it not been for the establishment of the county courts. In 1878 the county courts tried-over and above what he had referred to-more than 1,200 causes, the whole of which, had it not been for the extended jurisdiction given them, must have been tried by the High Courts, inasmuch as two-thirds of the causes were for sums between £20 and £50, and the remaining one-third were for sums exceeding £50. In conclusion, he pointed out that it was necessary the work of the judges should be lightened as much as possible, and then he proposed "The Birmingham Law Students' Society."

Mr. O'CONNOR responded, and

Mr. Lowe gave "The Bench and the Bar," to which Mr. J. M. NEALE replied.

Mr. LUDLOW gave "The Birmingham Law Society," and Mr. SAUNDERS responded.

The last toast was the health of "The President," which was proposed by Mr. ROGERS.

Elcum, barrister, of Gray's-inn, and Mr. E. C. Robinson, student, of Gray's-inn. The respondents were represented by Mr. A. A. Pranckerd, barrister, of Lincoln'sinn, and Mr. C. A. V.

The re-arrangement of the police-courts within the metropolitan district has been for some time under the consideration of the Home Secretary and his advisers, in order to meet the changes in the public requirements consequent on the increase of the population, the growth of new suburbs, and other circumstances. Primarily it has been represented that two uew courts are much needed, one at the eastern extremity of London, either in Hackney or Stratford, and the other in the opposite direction, somewhere about Clapham Junction. It was thought that the great increase in the assessment of the metropolis would have supported these two additional courts, each with its staff of magistrates and clerks, but the sanction of the Home Office could not be obtained, and Sir James Ingham, the chief magistrate, and his colleagues have been further deliberating with a view of meeting the difficulty without increase of expenditure. The two new courts are deemed indispensable, and it is, therefore, now proposed that they shall be provided, the one at Hackney, partly to relieve the Thames and adjacent districts, and to absorb Stratford, which is at present under the county justices; the other at Clapham Junction for the service of the large and increasing locality beyond Lambeth, an arrangement also being contemplated to include in one or other of the outbern districts the town of Croydon. To meet the cost of maintaining these two new courts, it is proposed to abolish three of the existing courts-Westminster, Southwark, and Greenwich-and establish one more new one in a central situation at Southwark-park. The business at Westminster and Southwark courts is represented as declining, and it is thought that the work may be transferred to Lambeth, Bow-street, and the new district at Southwarkpark. This last-named district would include Deptford and Greenwich, and all the ground between Charlton and London-bridge. The Home Secretary has called for reports on the subject from the superintendents and inspectors of police.
