At the Guildhall, on Saturday, Leonard Stimpson and Alfred Vincent, clerks in the employ of Mr. George Augustus Schultz, solicitor, of 9, Unionconit, Old Broad-street, were charged on remand before Sir Robert W. Carden with stealing within the last four months a bundle of probate and other Valuable documeats belonging to the prosecutor. It appeared that some time ago Mr. Schultz removed his office to Old Broad-street, and recently he missed a bundle of probate and other deeds. The prisoners admitted baving taken the deeds, but said they were only expired leases which were worth only parchment price. Mr. Schultz said that all the deeds were kept in an iron safe. Sir R. W. Carden remarked that solicitors did not put worthless documents into an iron safe. He would not settle the case then, but take time to consider what he should do to punish the boys, and at the same time to save them from ruin. The prisoners were then remanded.

On one day this week, although the list was a comparatively light one, the court was so tightly packed that it was impossible for many suitors who heard their names calle at the entrance doors to get to the witness box, while others deliberately walked away, rather than make an attempt to reach it. Several barristers and solicitors had their gowns torn up in their endeavour to get to their sea's to conduct their clients' cases, and having done so had to retire by the judge's private door. For more than an hour no order could be kept. Becke, Derngate, Northampton Box, George Henry, King's Norton, Worcester.

STEPHENS' SCARLET INK FOR STEEL PENS. This new Ink supplies the demand continually made bu never before met, for a Red Ink which is uninjured by Steel or other Metallic Pens. Steel Pens left in this ink for months do not impair the beauty of its colour, nor are the Pens in the least corroded by it. The existing Red Inks rapidly destroy Steel Pens, and lose their red colour if used with other than Gold or Quill Pens. This new colour is a very rich scarlet red of great beauty. The colour of this ink is not affected by use upon parchment and is consequently of great value to Solicitors and Draughtsmen. Sold in stone bottles, retail at 1s., 2s., 3s.; and imperial quarts of 40 ounces at 6s. each. Also in glass bottles at 6d. and 1s, each. SOLD BY ALL STATIONERS. CURRENT TOPICS. LONDON, JANUARY 14, 1882. BY AN ORDER, which we print in another column, it will be seen that all causes and matters which, on or before the 10th of January, were assigned to and were then pending before Mr. Justice CHITTY are for all purposes transferred until further order to Mr. Justice KAY. It is presumed that in cases where the writ is issued after the 10th of January, Mr. Justice KAY will, in pursuance of section 12 of the Judicature Act, 1881, be able to act for Mr. Justice CHITTY So far as to dispose of any applications for injunction or other interlocutory orders, but not so as to make decrees. SIR JOHN HOLKER's merits as a lawyer have been discussed, we suppose, by every daily paper in London, at prodigious length, and with that charming air of infallibility which characterizes the observations on legal matters of the lay press. It is unnecessary to label severally, after the fashion of these writers, Sir JOHN HOLKER'S various real or supposed merits, or to prophesy as to his judicial career; it is enough to say that, in the opinion of those who, from having known the new Lord Justice during his career at the bar, are presumably best qualified to judge, the new appointment is a thoroughly good one. THE APPOINTMENT to one of the highest judicial offices of an ex-Attorney-General, still sitting on the opposition benches of the House of Commons, is probably unparalleled in legal history. One of the nearest approaches to such a thing was the appointment by Lord BROUGHAM in 1831 of Lord LYNDHURST, the exLord Chancellor, to the office of Lord Chief Baron. In the case of Sir W. PAGE WOOD, who was appointed by Lord CAIRNs to a Lord Justiceship in 1868, a long period of judicial service had intervened since he had ceased to be a law officer. THE IDEA OF CONCENTRATING all the courts and offices in one building was, without doubt, very useful, but there is one consequence which, now that the building is erected and partly occupied, has been, and continues to be, inconvenient. The distances within the building are so great that it becomes a serious matter when a suitor comes to receive his money at the Bank of England, situated at the north side of the building, and is forced to travel thence to the Strand front to swear his affidavit. The journey there and back is described by discontented visitors as amounting to "half-a-mile;" and, although less than half that distance (being, in fact, less than 300 yards), it is a considerable grievance to the aged and infirm. Is there any objection to an affidavit-room being established in immediate proximity to the Chancery Pay-Office? WHEN WE ANNOUNCED that the chambers of Vice-Chancellor BACON had been removed to the rooms allotted to them in the west block of the Royal Courts of Justice, our statement was perfectly correct. Were we to say that Vice-Chancellor BACON'S Chambers are now in the west block, we should be incorrect. Since the furniture and papers were moved into the rooms in that block they have been again moved, of course at the cost of much trouble and expense, to some rooms in the east block, which are on the top floor of the building, and over the chambers of ViceChancellor HALL and Mr. Justice CHITTY. The story is that on presenting themselves last Saturday morning to commence business, the chief clerks and their staff found the outer door of the west block so barricaded that entrance was impossible. It then appeared that the builder, acting under advice, refused to give up possession of that portion of the building; and as the power to make him do so was at least doubtful, there was nothing for it but to find rooms elsewhere. Fortunately there were available in another part of the building certain rooms already out of the hands of the builder. If this had not been the case, we should have had the painful spectacle of a learned Vice-Chancellor and his numerous staff wandering through Lincoln's-inn in search of chambers, and perhaps putting the public to extra expense in the shape of exorbitant rent. As matters now are, it is rather hard for an aged judge to have to mount to the third storey three afternoons in a week after six hours work in court. No LESS THAN THREE written judgments were delivered in open court on Tuesday last, although the Hilary Sittings did not has thus been effected, and a precedent has been set which we commence till Wednesday. A considerable saving of judicial time hope to see followed on many future occasions. It is unfortunately doubtful, however, whether the course followed was technically correct, and whether, if the letter of the law should be insisted on, the judgments delivered could not be either set aside or disregarded tion of section 26 of the Judicature Act, 1873, as explained by the as nullities. This highly technical question depends on the construcvarious rules of order 61. The 26th section of the Act of 1873, after abolishing the division of the legal year into terms, prescribes that," subject to rules of court, the High Court of Justice and the Court of Appeal, and the judges thereof respectively, shall have power to sit and act, at any time, and at any place, for the transaction of any part of the business of such courts respectively, or of such judges.'

By rule 6 "any other judge may sit for a vacation judge," and by rule 7" the vacation judges may dispose of all actions, matters, and other business of an urgent nature during any interval between the sittings of any Division of the High Court to which such business may be assigned, although such interval may not be called or known as a vacation." have, therefore, a restriction upon the quality of business, which must be urgent; a restriction upon the personnel of the court, which is prima facie to be constituted by vacation judges, and a restriction upon the place of sitting, which is to be London or Middlesex. The curious "interval not called a vacation" between the 6th and 11th of January-an interval common to all the periods-might fairly be taken as a proper period for the non We |
