Woolf objected that Eady had no locus standi upon this application.

The Bankrupt.-The creditors assembled at the meeting were perfectly aware of the existence of the property and of its value.

Mr. REGISTRAR MURRAY said he thought the trustee was entitled to an order in the form granted in Ex parte Jarvis. The fact of the existence of the property was not brought to the notice of the creditors. The report of the official assignee had been made upon an affidavit by Slater, the late trustee, in which he swore by the card that there was no other property of the bankrupt appearing upon his statement of affairs, and that such property was so and so. Then the official assignee calculated the amount necessary for payment of the composition upon that statement, and he (the learned registrar) was perfectly convinced, upon the evidence, that unless the creditors were friends of the bankrupt, or creditors for small amounts only, they would not, if aware of the facts, so disregard their own interests as to take a composition of 4s. in the pound when the estate showed very much more. He had no hesitation, therefore, in saying that the resolution ought to be rescinded. In reference to Mr. Tatham's claim, he could not adjudicate upon it. Mr. Eady asked that an order might be made by which his interests would be protected, but he had obtained a charge upon the property, and he might enforce his security in the proper tribunal. His Honour thought it would give rise to great inconvenience and difficulty if orders were made "without prejudice"; that Mr. Eady had no locus standi upon this application; and that he must settle his rights as best he might.

Application granted.

Solicitors for the trustee, Ashurst, Morris, Crispe, & Co. Solicitor for Mr. Tatham, Blair.

SOLICITORS' CASES. QUEEN'S BENCH DIVISION.

(Sittings in Bane, before Lord COLERIDGE, C.J., and FIELD, J.)

April 28.-In the Matter of Mr. W. Talley.

This was an application by Mr. William Talley to be restored to the rolls. He was admitted as a solicitor in 1852, and was in practice until 1875, when he was struck off the rolls, after having been convicted at the Old Bailey of having endeavoured to persuade one Lancaster not to give evidence against two soldiers, then committed for trial on a charge of felony.

The applicant appeared in person, and

Wills, Q.C. (with whom was Murray), was for the Incorporated Law Society.

Mr. Talley addressed the court at some length in sup. port of his, petition and read several affidavits, in one of which he stated that his conviction had been procured by a misconstruction of the evidence and a misrepresentation of the law, and the use of other corrupt and unlawful

means,

Wills, in answer to a question of the court, said that the view that was taken by the Incorporated Law Society was that the applicant had been properly convicted of tampering with a witness. It was wholly immaterial that the persons who had been charged with the felony had at the trial been acquitted, or that there had been, if such had been the case, any irregularity in the proceedings against Mr. Talley.

Lord COLERIDGE, without calling upon the learned counsel to address the court, said that he was clearly of opinion that the petition must be dismissed. In 1878 a person had charged two soldiers with having committed an outrage upon him, and Mr. Talley had been retained to defend one of them. The applicant when so acting had offered the prosecutor a sum of money if he would withdraw from the prosecution. He had taken him to a publichouse and induced him to sign a paper to the effect that he would so withdraw. Mr. Talley bad then asked a solicitor to lend his name for a nominal prosecution, so that there might be an arrangement under which at the trial the case might be withdrawn. The solicitor to whom Mr. Talley had made his proposal had refused to be concerned in any way in any such transaction. In the

result, the applicant had been convicted, after a full trial, of attempting to tamper with the prosecution. He had, therefore, been found guilty of conduct utterly disgraceful to a professional man, and he clearly ought not to be restored to the rolls, as he had committed the offence in his character of an officer of the court, and had thereby disentitled himself to be any longer clothed with the exceptional privileges which the court gave to its officers. The court had arrived at that conclusion with deep regret, as it seemed hard to say that there should be offences for which no repentance could avail. FIELD, J., concurred.-Times.

Mr. PHILIP RICKMAN, the deputy-chairman of the board (in the unavoidable absence of Mr. John Lewis, of Wrexham, the chairman), presided.

Among other members present were the following :Messrs. Walters, Pennington, Giraud, Hunter, Brook, Yeomans (Sheffield), Roscoe, Hedger, Smith, Pidcock (Woolwich), Kays, Wilkin (Wakefield), Morgan (Birmingham), Woolbert, Proudfoot, Kennedy, &c., &c.

The secretary having read the notice convening the meeting and the minutes of the previous half-yearly meeting, the report which follows, as printed and in the hands of the members present, was agreed to be taken as read :—“ In conformity with the 16th rule of the association, the board of directors have the pleasure of reporting as to the progress and work of the association during the past halfyear.

"Since their report was presented at Sheffield in October last eighty new members have been added to the association; and the aggregate number of solicitors in England and Wales now enrolled as members of the association is 2,645, of whom 985 are life, and 1,660 annual members. Forty-five life members are contributors also of annual subscriptions ranging from one to five guineas each.

"During the half-year the receipts of the aasociation have amounted to £1,665 18s.

66 The board have distributed during the same period in grants of assistance a sum of £923, of which £528 were applied in relief of members and their families, and £395 in relief of non-members and their families. In one case the large grant of £128 was made to enable a member to accomplish his wish of emigrating to Canada with his four children.

"A sum of £789 2s. 6d. has been invested during the halfyear in the purchase of £300 Consols and £500 Reduced Three per Cent. Annuities, and the total funded capital of the association now consists of £9,000 Consols, £5,500 Reduced Three per Cent. Annuities, £19,000 India Four per Cents., £4,207 London and North-Western Railway Four per Cent. Perpetual Debenture Stock, and £250 London and St. Katherine Docks Four per Cent. Debenture Stock in all £37,957 stock, producing annual dividends amounting to £1,338.

"A balance of £238 1s. 6d. remained to the credit of the association with the Union Bank of London at the date of the closing of the half-yearly account (February 28 last), and a sum of £15 was in the hands of the secretary.

"An abstract of the accounts as audited is appended to this report.

"The board regret having to record the decease of a colleague, Mr. Frederick Barlow, of Cambridge, in whose stead as a director they have elected Mr. Thomas Musgrave Francis, of Cambridge.

"The annual festival of the association will be held this year under the presidency of her Majesty's AttorneyGeneral, Sir Henry James, Q.C., M.P., at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, London, on Wednesday, the 22nd of June next, at seven o'clock p.m. The objects of this association being so useful and meritorious, the board venture to hope, not only that the president will be well supported at the festival, but that, through the kind and generous cooperation of their professional brethren throughout the kingdom, the result of the festival will be made beneficial to the interests of the association."

The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he considered it satisfactory. It would be seen that the board had been enabled to give increased assistance where needed, during the past half-year, to members as well as non-members, and their families; and in one case of a member had given him so large a grant as £128, to assist him in emigrating to Canada with his family, where he hoped to do better.

Mr. WILLIAM MELMOTH WALTERS seconded the resolution, which was put, and carried unanimously.

Mr. R. H. GIRAUD moved, and Mr. J. W. PROUDFOOT seconded, a vote of thanks to the directors and auditors for their valuable services, which was unanimously agreed to; after which, a vote of thanks, moved by Mr. R. PENNINGTON, and seconded by Mr. F. T. WOOLBERT, was passed to the deputy-chairman, Mr. P. Rickman, for his kindness in presiding, which terminated the proceedings.

Mary Erichson died, and John cohabited with her sister Jane, by whom he had a son Carl, and a daughter Blanche. In 1842, as he lawfully might by Danish law, he married Jane, and thereby legitimated Carl and Blanche. After the second marriage a son and daughter, Frederick and Christine, were born, and Jane, the mother, died. Erichson with the five children subsequently migrated to England, where he resided till his death. He had been naturalized as a British subject, and was domiciled at the time of his death in England.

He also directed other English real estate to be sold, and the proceeds, with certain personalty, to be equally divided among all his "children." He died intestate as to other real estate situate in England, and left personalty undisposed of by will. (1) Does Carl take the real estate devised to the elder son"?
