THE CONVENIENCE of an office within the Royal Courts of Justice at which solicitors can pay money into the Bank of England, in respect of sums payable into court in actions in the Chancery Division, has not yet been afforded, owing to delay in removing the office which at present occupies the rooms destined for this purpose. It was hoped that this change would have been effected at the same time as the new division of the ledgers in the Chancery Paymaster's office, but it appears doubtful whether it can be carried out so soon.

THE LEGAL ELEMENT in the Royal Commission which has just been appointed to inquire into the eminently legal question of the constitution and working of the Ecclesiastical Courts, although unexceptionable in quality, is somewhat small in quantity. Out of twenty-five commissioners there are but six judges or practising barristers. It is, moreover, to be remarked that there is no member to represent on the commission those who of all others probably understand best the practical working in some respects of the present Ecclesiastical courts_ viz., the proctors, by whom the recent ecclesiastical sui have been conducted.

IN THE COURSE of the hearing of the application with reference to the sale of the Rev. S. F. GREEN's furniture for the taxed costs in the suit against him under the Public Worship Regulation Act, the Lord Chancellor is reported to have expressed his surprise "that costs to the amount of £243 had been incurred in an undefended cause. He should have thought some £10 would have been the amount." We, in our turn, cannot help expressing our surprise that such an observation should have been made. Is it possible that it can have been considered that under section 9 of the Public Worship Regulation Act the evidence in any case under that Act must be given viva voce in open court, or that at the hearing before Lord PENZANCE all the steps in the proceedings against Mr. GREEN were obliged to be strictly proved; or that the contempt must have been signified to the Chancery Division; or that a copy writ must have been sent to the Vice-Chancellor of Lancaster, and that there was subsequently a hearing at his chambers, followed by the issuing of a writ de contumace capiendo? The Lord Chancellor can hardly be seriously of opinion that all these steps and the fees of counsel could have been covered by £10. The remark was, perhaps, one of the class which the Court of Appeal are fond of styling "improvident." So also were the recent remarks of Lord COLERIDGE as to the costs of administration actions. But unfortunately the public who read these observations take them for gospel.

AN ACTION tried a few days ago before Mr. Baron POLLOCK involved an important question of election law. Mr. BRINTON, M.P. for Kidderminster, was sued by a solicitor for work done and money paid by him as one of defendant's agents at the late election. The defendant relied upon the fact that certain of the accounts were not duly delivered to his authorized agent, and, after considerable discussion, the items in question were abandoned by the plaintiff's counsel. By the Corrupt Practices Prevention Act, 1863 (26 & 27 Vict. c. 29), s. 2, no payment is to be made by, or on behalf of, any candidate at an election on account or in respect of such election otherwise than through an agent or agents, whose name and address, or names and addresses, have been declared in writing to the returning officer on or before the day of nomination, and any person making any payment otherwise than through such agent or agents is to be guilty of a misdemeanor. By section 3, all persons having any claims upon any candidate in respect of any election must send their bills or claims to the election agent or agents within one month from the day of the declaration of the election, "otherwise such persons shall be barred of their right to recover such claims, and every or any part thereof." It will be noticed that Mr. BRINTON, however desirous he might have been of paying
