subject to the same conditions as is thereby enacted concerning the officers in the Courts of Chancery, Bankruptcy, and Admiralty: Provided always, that any order to be made by the Treasury as to any officers not heretofore included within that section of the said Act shall be made with the concurrence of the Lord Chancellor, and also in the case of officers who are appointed by any other persons or person than the Lord Chancellor either solely or jointly with the Lord Chancellor, with the concurrence of the persons or person having such power of appointment: Provided also, that no order made under this Act which would not have been heretofore authorized by the said section or otherwise by law shall without his consent apply to any officer holding any office at the time of the commencement of this Act.

22. Notice of vacancies in offices of Supreme Court.] Upon the occurrence henceforth of any vacancy in any office of the Supreme Court of Judicature notice thereof shall be forthwith given to the Lord Chancellor and also to the Treasury by the senior continuing or surviving officer of the department in which the vacancy shall occur, and no appointment shall be made to fill such vacancy within the period of one month next after the date of such notice without the assent of the Lord Chancellor, given with the concurrence of the Treasury; and the Lord Chancellor may, if it be necessary, make provision in such manner as he thinks fit in the temporary discharge in the meantime of the duties of such office. The word "officer" in this Act shall not include the cffice of any judge of the Supreme

Court of Judicature.

23. Appointment of district registrars.] And whereas by the Judicature Acts, 1873, 1875, and 1877, and the Supreme Court of Judicature (Officers) Act, 1879, no provision is made as to the manner of appointing district registrars of the High Court of Justice: Be it enacted, that such district registrars shall be appointed by the Lord Chancellor, with the concurrence of the Treasury.

24. Appointments to keep order, &c., in Royal Courts of Justice.] The Lord Chancellor may from time to time, with the concurrence of the Treasury, make regulations with respect to

LAW STUDENTS' DEBATING SOCIETY. Tuesday, July 5.-Annual meeting.-Mr. Bartlett in the chair. Mr. F. Holman was elected a member. The treasurer laid before the meeting his accounts for the past year, and the committee presented their report of the proceedings of the society during the past session. The election of officers for the ensuing session then followed: Mr. C. E. Barry was elected treasurer; Mr. T. B. Napier, secretary Mr. E. G. Spiers, reporter; Messrs. G. H. Bower, G. Kirk, W. Bartlett, F. J. Green, and W. A. Bilney, ordinary members of committee, and Messrs. Lloyd-Jones, and E. A. Hemsley, auditors. Messrs. J. A. Neale and Lloyd-Jones were elected to represent the society at the Social Science Association. The society passed resolutions adopting the proposed new rules, which have during the past month been under consideration. The following particulars are taken from the committee's report above referred to.

The session commenced on the 26th of October last, during which thirty-two ordinary meetings and one special meeting had been held. Nine legal and thirteen general questions had been discussed, and eight meetings had been devoted entirely to the consideration of the society's business, four of which had been occupied in considering the proposed new rules. The average length of the meetings had been two hours twelve minutes, the average attendance at such meetings twenty-six, average number of speakers eight, and of voters eighteen. The greatest number of members attending any one meeting was thirty-six, and the lowest thirteen. Forty-eight new members had been elected, and twelve had resigned. The number of members on the roll was 270. The next meeting of the society will be held on the 25th of October.

BIRMINGHAM LAW STUDENTS' SOCIETY. The last mee ing of the spring session cf this society was holden at the Law Library, Bennett's-hill, on Tuesday evening last, C. T. Saunders, Esq., in the chair. After the election of new members, and a discussion on the Report of the Sub-Committee, on a list of books proposed to be sold from the library, having been adjourned, a debate took place on the advisability of the rep al of the Public Worship Regulation Act, 1874. The speakers on the affirmative were Messrs. Barrows, Huggins, Rowlands, and Steere; and on the negative, Messrs. Cochrane, E. C. Rogers, Sims, and Hooper. The point was argued on historical and practical rather than religious grounds, and was sustained with vigour on both sides. The opening speakers having replied, the chairman put the issue of the debate to the meeting, and the votes being equal, gave bis casting vote in favour of the retention of the Act.

On the 11th inst., in the House of Commons, Mr. H. Fowler asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the affidavits of executors disclosing the amount of the debts of their testators were not confidential documents for the exclusive use of the Revenue officials, and, if so, whether be would state by whose authority the contents of these affidavits were communicated to the public press. Lord F. Cavendish said that the affidavits referred to in the question are strictly confidential. Their communication to the press would be wholly unauthorized, and if made by an official would render him liable to dismissal. The subject was under the consideration of the officials at the Probate Registry, with a view to insure that the particulars contained in the affidavits were not allowed to transpire.

On the motion for the withdrawal of the Parliamentary Elections (Corrupt and Illegal Practices) Bill, Sir R. A. Cross asked the Government to pledge themselves to re-introduce the Bill next session. The Attorney-General said that, so far as he was aware, it was the intention of the Government to bring the Bill before the House at an early date next session.

The Letters of Allotment for the Seven per Cent. "A" or Preference Shares of the Royal Courts of Justice Chambers Company, Limited, were posted on Wednesday evening.
