thought himself as good a judge as Mr. Chamberlain of the way in which public opinion was likely to move, and did not care for his boasting in the House of Commons.

Mr. W. M. WALTERS, speaking as a member of the council, thought that they would like to have an opportunity of consulting with each other, as they had not known the nature of the resolutions to be submitted to the meeting until they entered the hall. He was in accord with much that had been said, but there might be other questions which it was necessary to consider. They might all assent to the principle involved in the resolutions, but they ought not to be so placed that they would be compelled to do something which would injure the responsible position they occupied. The council were at present in amicable consultation with Lord Coleridge and other authorities, and they must be cautious. The effect of the discussion would doubtless be beneficial, but if the conclusions they were to arrive at were postponed for a fortnight it would have all the necessary effect. He hoped they would not determine upon anything that day which would look as if they were offended because the president was not on the committee, and that they were showing their spite by endeavouring to throw discredit on the committee.

Mr. GRINHAM KEEN, also a member of the council, said that large committees of the society were always formed whenever important questions were to be considered, as was the case when the charter of the society was altered, and when Lord Selborne's School of Law Bill was before Parliament, and these committees rendered great assistance to the council. The suggestions of the members would always receive every consideration at the hands of the council, as had been the case with regard to the suggestions of the committees he had mentioned, which he thought were in every case adopted. If the members of the society and the members of the council worked together in the same direction, and aiding each other, a great deal of good would result.

The PRESIDENT observed that he felt his position a very peculiar one. He had the honour to be the president of the society, and as such he occupied the chair, and not merely as president of the council. At the same time, the meeting would readily imagine that for the last nine or ten months the functions of the president of the council had not been slight. He was the executive of the council, and had to carry into effect the determinations of the council; and at the present moment he was necessarily, perhaps, better acquainted than any one present with the difficulties that were in the way, and, he hoped he might venture to say, with what would be best for the profession at large. He trusted they would give him the credit that, being in this anomalous position, he intended what he said for the benefit of the whole of the profession, and not of the society alone, and as the representative of both. And he said, honestly and sincerely, that they had better net pass any resolution that day. Mr. Green had supposed that Mr. Chamberlain had said something which he did not say. The Bankruptcy Bili was founded almost entirely on the suggestions of the council, and it was quite a mistake to suppose that he had ever said anything disrespectful concerning them. There never was a period in the history of the society when they had more influence than at the present moment. If this resolution were passed the members would put themselves in antagonism with the council. He had said they had great influence, and were represented on the Costs of Litigation Committee; but if they were to recommend a Royal Commission, on the ground substantially that they were not sufficiently represented upon it, they would be doing much harm. The meeting objected that it was a secret committee. All committees must be secret. They did not publish what they had resolved upon until they had made their report. When the Judicature Committee sat the council had only two members upon it. If it had sat twenty years since they would have had none. Why should the president of the society be on the committee? He was a conveyancing man, and they had upon it one of the most competent members of the council in Mr. Hollame, and an eminent solicitor in Mr. Harrison. He would perhaps have liked three or four solicitors on the committee; but, as things went, he thought that was as many as they could fairly ask for. Therefore he did not like that a resolution should

be passed asking for a Royal Commission. He thought it

would injure them with the Chancellor and with the Government, and lessen the influence they undoubtedly possessed at the present time. (Cries of "Adjourn.") He would advise them not to adjourn. The annual meeting would shortly be held, and if in the meantime the council had not done what the members thought they ought to have done, let them say 80. But do not let them do anything to lessen the just influence which they had exercised.

Mr. HUGHES advised the adjournment, that the council might have an opportunity for discussion. He would go with them in everything, except delay.

The motion to adjourn the meeting for a fortnight was carried.

On the motion of Mr. KIMBER, a vote of thanks was passed to the president, and the proceedings terminated.

UNITED LAW STUDENTS' SOCIETY.

A meeting of this society was held on Wednesday, the 9th inst., at the Law Institution, Mr. D'A. B. Collyer in the chair, when the following question was discussed:-"Does the word 'children' in the statute 22 & 23 Car. 2, c. 10, include only children legitimate according to English law, or does it also include children legitimate according to the law of the country where they are domiciled, but illegitimate according to English law?" Mr. Parker opened the discussion, and argued that the word "children included only children legitimate according to English law. He was supported by Messrs. Dale, Hart, Samuel, and S. A. Jones, and opposed by Messrs. Gatey, Jenks, and Bartram. The opener replied, and after the chairman had summed up, the question was decided in favour of construing the word children" so as to include only children legitimate according to English law, by a majority of four votes.

BIRMINGHAM LAW STUDENTS' SOCIETY.

A meeting of the above society was held on Tuesday last at the Law Library, Bennett's-hill, Birmingham, when T.

The servant, contrary to such instructions, drives up and down the road, and in so doing negligently causes injury to B. Is A. liable for the injury so caused by his servant?" The speakers on the affirmative were Messrs. Vince, G. T. Edwards, Shute, Rowlands, Platnauer, Ryland, and Ludlow. The speakers on the negative were Messrs. Corbett, Hoggins, Swinson, and Smith. After an address from the chairman, the question was put to the meeting, aud carried in the affirmative by a large majority. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the meeting.

OBITUARY.

MR. GEORGE BROOKE NELSON.

Mr. Nelson was born at Nottingham in 1804. He was admitted a solicitor in 1828, and he soon afterwards went into partnership with Mr. Hemingway, of Leeds, to whom he had been articled. The partnership was dissolved in 1839, and about seventeen years later Mr. Nelson was joined by the late Mr. John Bulmer, and more recently his son, Mr. George Hird Nelson, who was admitted a solicitor in 1858, and is steward of the Manor of Hunslet, became a member of the firm. Mr. Nelson was a perpetual commissioner for the

"West Riding of Yorkshire, and he had a very extensive private practice. He was for many years steward of the Honour of Pontefract, and after the passing of the first County Courts Act he became clerk to the Leeds, Dewsbury, Pontefract, and Wakefield County Courts. About ten years later the duties of the office were divided, and he became registrar of the Dewsbury County Court (Circuit No. 12), which office he held until his death, Mr. Charles Arthur Tennant having been latterly associated with with him as junior registrar. He was also district registrar for Dewsbury under the Judicature Acts. Mr. Nelson was an active member of the local Conservative party, and had acted as registration and election agent both in the borough of Leeds and in the West Riding. He was one of the patrons of the Vicarage of Leeds and one of the Trustees of Pious Uses, and he was a liberal supporter of the Leeds Church Extension Society.

At the Liverpool Assizes on Monday, in the Crown Court, Mr. Justice Mathew, in charging the grand jury, touched upon the question of the reform of the criminal law with reference to an appeal to a superior court in cases in which the prisoner might deem the sentence he received to be too severe. An appeal to the Court of Criminal Appeal, his lordship said, would inevitably result in the court laying down regulations for the amount of punishment to be inflicted which would be a guide to all who administered the criminal law throughout the country.
