satisfied that a charge had been made within Lord Hatherley's meaning. If there was no charge of debts, the vendor had no title on which a requisition could be made within the meaning of the conditions of sale. The other point was more difficult. It was impossible to read the case of Sabin v. Heape without feeling a doubt as to whether it was correctly decided, but as he had already decided that there was no charge of debts, it was unnecessary to enter into that case, although he should probably have felt himself bound to follow the decision of the late Master of the Rolls. His lordship then made a declaration that the title was too doubtful to be forced on a purchaser. Costs to be paid by the vendors.-SOLICITORS, Parish, Daintrey, & Hickson; Murray, Hutchins, & Stirling.

I am of opinion that in this case the complainant has not that the maintenance of which he complains falls shown within the purview of the statutes to which attention has been called. In the first place, it may be observed, this is a proceeding which appears to be entirely new to the criminal Jaw, at least practically so, because, although the statute of Richard II., which has been referred to, and the subsequent later statute of Henry VIII., do undoubtedly refer to fines and imprisonment, it is most singular that no indictment can be found which has been framed for the violation of those statutes. Therefore, to my mind, this is an obsolete proceeding, and it seems to me that the criminal law ought not to be invoked for a purpose of this kind when it is open to a complainant, if he has sustained a wrong, to apply to the common law courts for redress. Supposing that Mr. Bradlaugh had himself sustained any damage or injury, it was open to him to have proceeded in a court of law, and to have obtained the judgment of a superior court, by which he might have been recouped any loss or costs he had sustained. That course has not been adopted, but these old statutes have been searched out in order that proceedings-which I cannot help thinking have been taken for the purpose of gratifying a very unfriendly spirit on Mr. Bradlaugh's part-might be instituted in the hope that the defendants might he committed for trial. Supposing the circumstances of this case had rendered it necessary for me to have taken that course, undoubtedly I should have discharged my duty, supposing I considered I was bound to do 80. But having heard the argument on both sides of this question, and having, moreover, myself looked into the authorities, I have come to the conclusion that, in this case, there is no such disturbance of common law or of common right, and no such case of oppression, made out as brings it within the operation of the statutes. Now maintenance has been defined by several of the old writers upon the subject, and Comyn in his Digest says that maintenance is where a man maintains a suit or a quarrel to the disturbance or injury of right. In Hawkins' Pleas of the Crown" it is stated as being an "unlawful taking in hand, or upholding of quarrels or sides, to the disturbance or hindrance of common right." And then, further, I find it stated in Burn's "Justice of the Peace" that it is prohibited by common law as having a tendency to oppression. Now, if one turns to the statute one sees what is meant by that, and it is this, that people who were in possession of land should not be turned out of possession by means of fraud; that force and violence should not be resort d to for the purpose of turning them out, and that if persons choose to act in that way they should be punished; and the common law which protected persons in possession was still further sanctioned and confirmed by those statutes for the protection of right and justice and innocence. That being the case, I confess I cannot see that any authority has been cited before me which calls upon me to hold in this case, looking to the facts of the case, that there has been a maintenance within the proper construction of the statutes; but there is this further thing to be said, that it has not been shown to my mind that the defendants were not interested in the matter.

Now, in Hawkins' " Pleas of the Crown" there are several exceptions to the laws of maintenance, and amongst others it is stated that if a person, being a reversioner or

remainderman, maintains a tenant for life, if he is lessee, and maintains the lessor, or vice versa-nay, if a man has a contingent interest only in such a case as that-if be choose to advance money, it is not maintenance; and it has also been held in some cases that if a person is a commoner, and there are other persons who are com. moners, or persons interested in a right of way, and one of those persons brings an action for the purpose of establishing a right to the common, or right of way, that other persons who are so interested may, without being exposed to any penalty at all, assist and take part in the action for the purpose of establishing the right. It appears to me, if that is so, that the interest in this case is greater; because I cannot conceive any greater interest that a person can possibly have than in ascertaining whether or not the decision or the resolution which was come to by the House of Commons at the first onset of the case was right or not-than that the matter should be submitted to a court of law, and that the court of law should be asked to pronounce its opinion as to whether or not the law was as suggested by the resolution of the House of Commons. I cannot conceive myself that there can be any greater interest; it affects members of Parliament, it affects the constituency of Northampton, it affects Mr. Bradlangh himself, and every person.

Now, that being the case, what better mode could be taken for ascertaining whether or not Mr. Bradlaugh was right and the House of Commons wrong? because, of course, a penalty could not be recovered unless, in poist of fact, the law was that Mr. Bradlaugh had committed an offence for which he was liable. Unless it had been held to be so, Mr. Bradlangh would have gone back to the House of Commons with the judgment of the court of common law in his hand, and have said, This is the judgment of a superior court of law. Now, after that, can you refuse to allow me to take my seat? Now, therefore, I say, not only was it a public matter, but Mr. Bradlaugh himself must be greatly interested in having the matter settled. I can quite under stand why Mr. Newdegate should have taken the course which he did; I dare say it would not be an agreeable thing for Mr. Newdegate, sitting in the same House, to have his name appear as the plaintiff in the action, and, therefore, I can quite understand that rather than take that course he would say to some other person, "You take the proceedings, let us have this matter tested, and see whether Mr. Bradlaugh is right or not in his claim to sit in the House of Commons," As regards the question of costs, of course, there is the agreement which has been put in, and that agreement appears to have been drawn for the purpose of enabling Mr. Bradlaugh to recover his costs. It is true he could not at the present time assume the benefit of that agreement to himself, but it is also true, as the matter now stands, that if the costs were not paid, and Mr. Bradlaugh succeeded, he would have an action against Mr. Newdegate, and the facts of the case would then be brought out even if they had not been brought out here. Under those circumstances I confess, for my own part, I have no hesitation in coming to the conclusion that these summonses must be dismissed, and I come to that conclusion with the greater freedom from hesitation because if there has been any injury or damage sustained by Mr. Bradlaugh in this matter it will still be competent for him to bring an action in one of the courts of law, and have the question argued and discussed, and settled, supposing he is advised to take that course.

The summonses will, therefore, be dismissed.

OBITUARY.

MR. WILLIAM DADLEY.

Mr. Willian Dadley, solicitor (of the firm of Marson & Dadley), of 1, Southwark-bridge-road, who was one of the oldest solicitors in South London, died at his residence, 41, Lansdowne-gardens, South Lambeth, on the 21st ult., at the age of eighty-four.

He had a very extensive private business, and had for many years prACtised in Southwark-bridge-road in partnership with Mr. Thomas Marson. He had been for many years a member of the Pewterers' Company, and since 1841 he has been clerk to that body. Mr. Dadley was buried at Nunhead Cemetery on the 24th ult.

SOCIETIES.

BRISTOL INCORPORATED LAW SOCIETY. The following is the report of the council:The following important Acts of Parliament affecting the administration of the law in England were passed in the session of 1881.

An Act for simplifying and improving the practice of Conveyancing, and for vesting in trustees, mortgagees, and others various powers commonly conferred by provisions inserted in settlements, mortgages, wills, and other instruments; and for amending in various particulars the Law of Property, and for other purposes.

An Act for making better provision respecting the Remuneration of Solicitors in Conveyancing and other noncontentious business.

An Act to amend the Law of Newspaper Libel, and to provide for the Registration of Newspaper Proprietors.

An Act to amend the Supreme Court of Judicature Acts, and for other purposes.

The council are glad to observe that the Solicitors' Remuneration Act, as passed, provides for the president of the Incorporated Law Society and the president of one of the provincial law societies (to be selected by the Lord Chan cellor) being associated with the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice of England, and the Master of the Rolls in making a general order for regulating remuneration.

In the annual report presented last year reference was made to certain resolutions passed by the council on July 5, 1880, on the practice of the Bristol Sanitary Authority of selling their salvages under conditions excluding purchasers from requiring any abstract of or covenants for title; and at the last annual meeting a resolution was passed that a special meeting of the profession practising in this city be convened to consider the refusal of the Sanitary Authority to alter their conditions excluding purchasers from requiring any abstract of or covenant for title. In December last, attention having been called to a sale of salvages by the Authority subject to the same restrictive conditions, and it appearing that the Corporation of Sheffield on sale of salvages gave an absolute covenant for title to purchasers, the council inquired if the Authority would adopt the same practice. A letter in reply to the inquiry was received stating that, acting under counsel's advice, the Authority were selling under the printed conditions of sale already issued. Another sale of salvages having been announced to be held on the 10th of June last under the same conditions, the council convened a meeting of the solicitors practising in this city, to consider the refusal of the Sanitary Authority to adduce any title, or to enter into any covenant for title or production of indentures on their salvage sales, and to take such steps in relation thereto as may be determined at the meeting so convened and held on the 3rd of June, the following resolutions were unanimously passed:

1. "That, in the opinion of this meeting, the practice which is now adopted by the Bristol Sanitary Authority of providing, on sales of their salvages, that their title is to be accepted without investigation, and that the purchaser is not to have any title deeds handed to him or any covenant whatever for title or for production of deeds, should be abandoned for the following (amongst other) reasons:

a. "The whole risk of a defective title is thereby thrown on the purchaser ;

b. "In case of any action of ejectment or any claims being made against him, whether well founded or otherwise, he has no means of supporting his title ;

c. “Trustees are precluded from lending their trust funds by way of mortgage on such property as this, to which no title is or can be shown.

2. "That, in the opinion of this meeting, if the Bristol Sanitary Authority do not see fit to adopt the usual practice of furnishing an abstract, they should accept the responsibility of the titles which they refuse to disclose by giving an absolute covenant for the protection of the purchaser.

3. "That the president and vice-presidents of the Bristol Incorporated Law Society, Mr. Bedell, Mr. Chilton, Mr. W. H. Clarke, Mr. Henry Cooke, Mr. Pope, Mr. Swann, and Mr. Vassall, be requested to attend the sale of salvages on the 10th inst., and draw public attention to the resolutions passed this day.

4. "That the foregoing resolutions be forwarded to the

clerk of the Authority, and be advertised in the Bristol newspapers."

The resolutions were forwarded to the clerk to the Authority, and were advertised. On the 9th of June the Sanitary Authority obtained an ex parte injunction from Lord Coleridge (the Vacation Judge) restraining the ten solicitors referred to in the third resolution from attending the sale for the purpose of drawing attention to the resolutions, from repeating the advertisements, and from doing any act to disparage the plaintiffs' title. The council caused an appearance to be entered for the several defendants, and retained counsel. However, on the 16th of June, the plaintiffs gave notice to discontinue the action-thus preventing any argument or discussion taking place in court on the subject of their conditions or on the merits of the action. The defendants' costs were taxed and have been paid by the plaintiffs. It is understood that the question of altering the conditions of sale of salvages is under consideration of a subcommittee, appointed by the Streets Improvement Committee of the Sanitary Authority.

A few weeks since the council received a communication from the Gloucestershire Law Society on the subject of solicitors' fees on auction sales of real property and the stringent conditions under which such sales are frequently beld. Reference was made to the annual report of the Incorporated Law Society in 1878, wherein the council of the chief society expressed their opinion that conditions of sale under which a purchaser is compelled to make any payment to the vendor's solicitor are open to grave objections; and it was stated that in 1879 the Gloucestershire Law Society adopted the report of their committee, advising the discontinuance of the practice of charging such fees in the district over which that society extended. At the recent annual meeting of the Gloucestershire Society, attention was called to the fact that the system of charging contract fees prevailed in the city and neigbourhood of Bristol, and a resolution was passed that a communication should be opened with this society, in the hope that they may take such action as may be thought best to bring the practice of the solicitors in Bristol into accord with that recommended by the Incorporated Law Society, and adopted by the Gloucestershire Society. The attention of the latter society had also been drawn to the stringent conditions of sale commonly used at sales in which Bristol solicitors were concerned, and reference was made to a certain common form of conditions settled by the Gloucestershire Society with a view to the adoption of fair and reasonable conditions. The council have had the communication from the Gloucestershire Society under their careful consideration, and decided that the question of the abolition or retention of auction fees should be referred to the annual general meeting of the society. With regard to the alleged stringency of Bristol conditions, the council are not prepared to admit that conditions of sale conducted by Bristol solicitors are as a general rule otherwise than usual.

During the past year about ninety candidates have attended the preliminary examination in the library.

LEGAL NEWS.

Mr. Justice Watkin Williams has fixed the following dates for holding the Autumn Assizes on the Western Circuitviz., Bristol, Saturday, October 22; Exeter and City, Saturday, October 29; Winchester, Saturday, November 5. Prisoners only will be tried.

Mr.

Mr. M'Connell, revising barrister at Liverpool, gave his decision on Saturday in a case in which the claimant of the franchise was Mr. William Simpson, who claimed in respect of a counting-house, 13, Sheffield-buildings, Victoria-street, in succession from a dwelling-house, 28, Earl-street. Collins, the other revising barrister, was also on the bench. Mr. M'Connell said he had a strong impression as to the case when it first came before him, but he was anxious to consult his colleague. Mr. Simpson's own evidence went to show that as a dwelling-house he had not occupied the premises in Earl-street at all. The room which he called his own he only used occasionally, and he had never spent a night or dwelt there within the meaning of the dwelling-house qualification. Then the question was, could he claim as an occupier in reference to the house he had let off entirely, with the exception of one room in which he did not dwell, and that room not being of sufficient value to entitle him to a vote under the old £10 qualification of the Reform Act relating to the use of a separate room, studio, or counting-house? He thought it could not be under the old qualification nor under the new that he could occupy for that. He decided-and his friend Mr. Collins agreed with him-that there was not in that qualification a sufficient occupation to constitute him a voter. Therefore, the vote of Mr. Simpson would be disallowed.
