OBITUARY.

MR. JUSTICE JACKSON.

Sir Henry Mather Jackson, baronet, of Llantilio Court, Monmouthshire, one of the newly-appointed judges of the Queen's Bench Division, died at 61, Portland-place, on the 8th inst., at the age of fifty. The deceased was the eldest son of the late Sir William Jackson, who was M.P. for Newcastleunder-Lyme, and afterwards for North Derbyshire, and who was created a baronet in 1869, and his mother was a daughter of the late Lieutenant Thomas Hughes, R. N. He was born in 1831, and succeeded to the baronetcy upon his father's death in 1876. He was educated at Harrow, and at Trinity College, Oxford, where he graduated second class in classics in 1853, and he was called to the bar at Lincoln's-inn in Michaelmas Term, 1855. He was at an early period successful in obtaining business, and for many years he had a large junior practice in the Court of Chancery. He also attended the sittings of the Lancaster Court of Chancery, where he was for some years one of the acknowledged leaders. In 1873 he received a silk gown from Lord Selborne, when he selected the court of ViceChancellor Bacon, where he has been the leader since Mr. Kay withdrew from regular practice in that court. In 1865 he was an unsuccessful candidate for the borough of Birkenhead in the Liberal interest. In July, 1867, he became a candidate for the representation of Coventry, and sacceeded in defeating Mr. Alexander Staveley Hill, Q. C., at the general election. In December, 1868, he stood for the same borough in conjunction with the late Mr. Samuel Carter, but he lost his seat, Messrs. Eaton and Hill, the two Conservative candidates, being returned. He again stood for the borough with Mr. Carter in 1874, when he was returned second on the poll, Mr. Eaton being at the head; and at the general election of last year he stood with Mr. William Henry Wills, and was placed at the head of the poll, the two Conservatives, Mr. Eaton and Mr. Kekewich, Q.C., being defeated. Sir H. Jackson gave a steady support to Mr. Gladstone, whether in or out of office, and he was a very useful member of the House. He introduced and carried the Partition Act of 1876. He was a man of very amiable and genial disposition, and was universally popular both in his profession, and in the House of Commons. Sir H. Jackson served as a member of the Royal Commission on Cathedral Establishments. He had been

engaged in many important company cases, including Peek v. Gurney, and Oakes v. Turquand, in the House of Lords. He had also a large experience in bankruptcy and in patent suits. He had been spoken of as likely to become Solicitor-General in the event of the promotion of either of the present law officers, and his selection for one of the vacant puisne judgeships occasioned no surprise. When he accepted the appointment he was too ill to take his seat, but it had been hoped that he would be able to be worn in within a few days. Sir H. Jackson was a bencher of Lincoln's-inn, and a magistrate and deputylieutenant for Monmouthshire. He was married in 1854 to the daughter of Mr. Thomas Buddicum Blackburne, of Grange House, Birkenhead, and he leaves two sons and three daughters. He is succeeded in the baronetcy by his eldest son, Henry Mather Jackson, who was born in 1855.

[merged small][ocr errors][merged small][merged small]

2. Power to make General Orders for remuneration in conveyancing, &c.] In England, the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice of England, the Master of the Roll, and the President for the time being of the Incorporated Law Society, or any three of them, the Lord Chancellor being one, and, in Ireland, the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, the Master of the Rolls, and the President for the time being of the Incorporated Law Society, or any three of them, the Lord Chancellor being one, may from time to time make any such General Order as to them seems fit for prescribing and regulating the remuneration of solicitors in respect of business connected with sales, purchases, leases, mortgages, settlements, and other matters of conveyancing, and in respect of other business not being business in any action, or transacted in any court, or in the chambers of any judge or master, and not being otherwise contentious business, and may revoke or alter any such order.

3. Communication to Incorporated Law Society.] One month at least before any such General Order shall be made, the Lord Chancellor shall cause a copy of the regulations and provisions proposed to be embodied therein to be communicated in writing to the Council of the Incorporated Law Society, who shall be at liberty to submit such observations and suggestions in writing as they may think fit to offer thereon; and the Lord Chancellor, and the other persons hereby authorized to make such order, shall take into consideration any such observations or suggestions which may be submitted to them by the said council within one month from the day on which such communication to the said council shall have been made as aforesaid, and, after duly considering the same, may make such order, either in the form or to the effect originally communicated to the said council, or with such alterations, additions, or amendments, as to them may seem fit.

4. Principles of remuneration.] Any General Order under this Act may, as regards the mode of remuneration, prescribe that it shall be according to a scale of rates of commission or percentage, varying or not in different classes of business, or by a gross sum, or by a fixed sum for each document prepared or perused, without regard to length, or in any other mode, or partly in one mode and partly in another, or others, and may, as regards the amount of the remuneration, regulate the same with reference to all or any of the following, among other, considerations; (namely,)

The position of the party for whom the solicitor is concerned in any business, that is, whether as vendor or as purchaser, lessor or lessee, mortgagor or mortgagee, and the like:

The place, district, and circumstances at or in which the business or part thereof is transacted:

The amount of the capital money or of the rent to which the business relates:

The skill, labour, and responsibility involved therein on the part of the solicitor :

The number and importance of the documents prepared or perused, without regard to length:

The average or ordinary remuneration obtained by solicitors in like business at the passing of this Act.

5. Security for costs and interest on disbursements.] Any General Order under this Act may authorize and regulate the taking by a solicitor from his client of security for future remuneration in accordance with any such order, to be ascertained by taxation or otherwise, and the allowance of interest on money disbursed by a solicitor for his client.

[blocks in formation]

8. Power for solicitor and client to agree on form and amount of remuneration.] (1.) With respect to any business to which the foregoing provisions of this Act relate, whether any General Order under this Act is in operation or not, it shall be competent for a solicitor to make an agreement with his client, and for a client to make an agreement with his solicitor, before or after or in the course of the transaction of any such business, for the remuneration of the solicitor, to such amount and in such manner as the solicitor and the client think fit, either by a gross sum, or by commission or percentage, or by salary, or otherwise; and it shall be competent for the solicitor to accept from the client, and for the client to give to the solicitor, remuneration accordingly.

(2.) The agreement shall be in writing, signed by the person to be bound thereby or by his agent in that behalf,

(3.) The agreement may, if the solicitor and the client think fit, be made on the terms that the amount of the remuneration therein stipulated for either shall include or shall not include all or any disbursements made by the solicitor in respect of searches, plans, travelling, stamps, fees, or other matters.

(4.) The agreement may be sued and recovered on or impeached and set aside in the like manner and on the like grounds as an agreement not relating to the remuneration of a solicitor; and if, under any order for taxation of costs, such agreement being relied upon by the solicitor shall be objected to by the client as unfair or unreasonable, the taxing master or officer of the court may inquire into the facts, and certify the same to the court; and if, upon such certificate it shall appear to the court or judge that just cause has been shown either for cancelling the agreement or for reducing the amount payable under the same, the court or judge shall have power to order such cancellation or reduction, and to give all such directions necessary or proper for the purpose of carrying such order into effect, or otherwise consequential thereon, as to the court or judge may seem fit.

9. Restriction on Solicitors Act, 1870-33 & 34 Vict. c. 28.] The Attorneys and Solicitors Act, 1870, shall not apply to any business to which this Act relates.
