upon trust

Some of the trusts (pp. 149 and 191) now read "upon trust to, &c.," but the form for a settlement still retains its ancient shape-" that the said trustees, or the survivors, &c., shall" (p. 131). What necessity is there for this, and is there any advantage to be secured by using the old form for settlements and the new shorter form for wills? The advancement clause is introduced by the words, "that in addition to the powers of maintenance, education, and accumulation given by statute to trustees (pp. 135 and 151). What advantage can accrue from the use of these words?

Section 4 provides that "no company, association, or partnership consisting of more than twenty persons, shall be formed after the commencement of this Act for the purpose of carrying on any other business (ie., other than banking

[To the Editor of the Solicitors' Journal.]

Sir,-Allow me to correct a remark in your otherwise accurate and important article on this Act. You say that the law of Scotland knows nothing of the term "personal estate." This is a mistake. It is used very frequently as synonymous with "moveable estate." As instances of such use, see the Confirmation and Probate Act, 1858, s. 3; the Intestate Widows' and Children (Scotland) Act, 1875, s. 3; and the Small Testate Estates (Scotland) Act, 1876, s. 3.

It is a great pity that the Lord Advocate allowed this Act to pass last session, seeing the English Bill consolidating the Married Womens' Prop

erty Acts had to be withdrawn. There is no call for such piecemeal

legislation. On the contrary, it is most desirable that the statute law on the subject, which only dates from 1870, should in both countries be on the same lines. Indeed, I cannot see why it should not be the same. The Scottish Club, Jan. 11. JOHN GRAHAM.

[We are much obliged by our correspondent's correction of our remark as to Scotch law, and are glad to have the weight of his authority in support of our view of the operation of the statute referred to.ED. S. J.]

CATTLE LEVANT AND COUCHANT. [To the Editor of the Solicitors' Journal.] Sir,-Could any of your readers refer me to an authority as to the meaning of cattle being "levant and couchant" in cases where there is a right of common for such cattle ? Carr v. Lambert (34 L. J. (N. S.) Ex. 66) establishes that such cattle need not have eaten of any of the produce of the land drawing common; but the question arises, Must the cattle have actually been on the commonable land before being put on the common? In other words, must the commoner give his cattle a night's lodging on his own commonable close before putting them on the common? Such a requirement would seem a farce, but is it the law?

association, or partnership, or by the individual members thereof, unless it is other Act of Parliament, or of letters patent, or is a company engaged in registered as a company under this Act, or is formed in pursuance of some working mines within, and subject to, the jurisdiction of the Stannaries." And section 199 provides that any partnership, association, or company, except railway companies incorporated by Act of Parliament, consisting of more than seven members, and not registered under the Act, may be wound up under the Act. The company in the present case was an association of more than twenty members (not registered under the Act, and not in any way incorporated), formed, in 1867, for the purpose of carrying on the business of a mutual marine insurance society. The rules made part of them) provided that it should consist of owners and (which were indorsed on the policies issued by the association and part-owners of vessels; that its affairs should be managed by a committee of the members; that on any vessel being entered in the association the owner should immediately pay the sum of £1 per cent. on the amount insured as a deposit towards paying any loss that might happen, and five shillings per cent. towards a fand for incidental expenses, and that the owner, on subscribing his name to the legal document of the association, should become a member thereof, and be subject to its rules; that no vessel should be insured in the association in any greater sum than £1,000, which amount should not in any case exceed three-fourths of the value of the vessel; that in case any vessel belonging to the association should be taken, lost, wrecked, destroyed by fire or stranded, and thereby receive so much damage as should induce the owner to abandon her to the association, and which abandonment the owner might make when the actual damage done to the vessel should be satisfactorily shown to the commissioner to exceed 75 per cent. of her entered value, then the members, their heirs, executors, or administrators, generally and not jointly, each one for himself and not for each other, should, as often as the case should happen, pay the loser of such vessel the amount insured in the association rateably and proportionally by each the association should run down any other vessel, and the owner should be member according to his amount insured; that in case any vessel insured in called on to make good the value of the vessel run down, the association should either defend any action that might be brought against the owner of the running down vessel, and pay its proportion of costs and damages (such costs and damages not to exceed the amount for which the vessel was insured in the association), or pay to the owner two-thirds of the sum for which the contribution due from any member should not be received through his The policies issued by the association were signed by the manager per insolvency, the loss should be borne by the members generally. procuration of the several members. members, and which had been insured in the association, was lost.

The case of the French juryman, says the Daily News, who was accused of manifesting an opinion in the jury-box during the progress of a murder trial at the Assize Court of the Basses Pyrénées has been finally determined upon an appeal to the Court of Cassation. It appears that Madame Barko, the witness in question, having persistently denied certain facts, suddenly admitted their correctness; upon which M. Sablé, one of the jurymen, being of an impulsive disposition, clapped his hands in token, as it appeared to the judge, of satisfaction. Thereupon, in pursuance of a provision of the Criminal Code, M. Sablé was desired to withdraw in the midst of the proceedings, and another juryman was ordered to take his place. The point raised was whether the action of the juryman constituted an "expression of opinion" within the meaning of the code. The Court of Cassation has decided this question in the negative.

The death is announced at Rome of the distinguished American jurist, Richard Henry Dana. Mr. Dana, says the Times, was the son of the late Mr. R. H. Dana, the American essayist and poet, and was born at Cambridge, Massachusetts. Being obliged to leave Harvard College in 1834 on account of ill-health, he undertook a voyage to California, which he described in his popular book "Two Years before the Mast,' republished in an enlarged form in 1869 under the title "Two Years before the Mast and Twenty Years After." Returning to college, he studied law and was admitted to the Boston bar in 1840. He acquired a special reputation in maritime law after the publication, in 1841, of his "Seaman's Friend," known in England as "The Seaman's Manual," containing a dictionary of nautical terms. In 1853 he became a member of the Massachusetts Legislature. He was one of the founders of the "Free Soil Party," and took a prominent part in the Republican movement of 1856. At the trial of Jefferson Davis he represented the Government. He is the author of several important legal works, the best known of which is his copiously annotated edition of Wheaton's "International Law." One of the notes in this work, on the neutrality laws of Great Britain and the United States, was translated into French for the use of the arbitrators at Geneva in 1872.

A

The arbitrators made an award in his favour, and the agreement was made an order of the The member had assigned his rights under the Queen's Bench Division. policy for value, and his assignee brought an action for the amount of the award against the association, and recovered judgment by default. He issued execution on the judgment, but without effect, and he then presented a petition to wind up the association, which had ceased to carry on its business and had closed its office. The petitioner stated that the association consisted of more than seven members, but did not state that it consisted of more than twenty members, the petitioner, so far as appeared, being ignorant of this fact. The petition was served at the old office of the association, and was advertised. When it came on for hearing on the 28th of January, 1880, the association did not appear, and Malins, V.C., made a winding-up order. In November, 1881, a member, who had only just become aware of the presentation of the petition and of the making of the winding-up order, gave notice of an appeal from the order, asking also that the time for appealing might be extended. The Court of Appeal (JESSEL, M.R., and BRETT and LINDLEY, L.JJ.) extended the time and discharged the windingup order on the ground that there was no jurisdiction to make it. JESSEL, M.R., said that the point as to the constitution of the association had not been brought to the notice of the Vice-Chancellor, whose order was in fact, though not in form, made ex parte. If the court had no jurisdiction to make the order, still the proper mode of getting rid of it was by an appeal, for the court which made it was competent to decide whether it had jurisdiction, and the order must be treated as a decision that it had jurisdiction. There was, therefore, an error in the order, and an appeal from it would lie. And, under the circumstances, leave to appeal, notwithstanding the expiration of the twenty-one days limited by order 58 for so doing, ought to be given. If the association was one which Was unlawful under

section 4, his lordship thought that both by the authority of the
decided cases (such as In re The Arthur Average Association, 23 W. R.
939, L. R. 10 Ch. 542, and In re The South Wales and Atlantic Steamship
Company, L. R. 2 Ch. D. 763), and on priinciple, no winding-up order
could be made. Section 199 must apply to something which could be law-
fully formed. If the formation of the association was prohibited by section 4,
it was impossible that the Legislature should say that that which could not be
fcrmed under section 4 should be wound up under section 199, with all the
consequences which would follow from a winding-up order. It was clear that
this association was formed for the purpose of carrying on business-the business
of marine insurance; though the object was not the acquisition of gain for
the association 28 a whole, but the object was the acquisition of
gain by the individual members. Each member paid a
with the view of obtaining a larger sum on
the happening of
an uncertain event. Was the sum the less a gain, because there
happened, at the same time, to be a loss to the member who obtained it?
Because the loss of a vessel was the occasion of a claim, the payment of the
claim was not the less a gain to the claimant. And, looking at the general
scope of the Act, the object of the provision was that commercial associations
should be registered, and it ought to be construed so as to carry out its object
without too minute a criticism of the particular words. BRETT, L.J., said
that, the order being one of a superior court, which had jurisdiction in certain
cases to make a winding-up order, if there was any error in it, it was an
error in the particular case, and not an assumption of an unwarranted jurisdic-
tion. The order could not, therefore, be treated as a nullity, but was the
proper subject of an appeal. The ordinary rule, therefore, which governed
the time within which an appeal must be brought, applied, but it was a case
in which the court ought to exercise its power to enlarge the time. If section
4 applied to the association the law could take no cognizance of it at all, and
the absence of notice to the petitioner could make no difference. It might not
be necessary to decide the latter point, because the petitioner, who claimed
through a member who clearly had notice of the constitution of the association,
could not stand in a better position than he did. If the association was one
prohibited by section 4, his lordship would not call it illegal, but its
existence could not be recognized in any way by the law; it could
not be said to have ever existed. It was not an association 'formed to
carry on a business, the object of which was the acquisition of gain by the
association itself. But the object was that, in consideration of the members
insuring other members' ships, their own ships should be insured in case of
loss. The object of each individual member was that he should be indem-
nified in case of the loss of his ship. Was that object the acquisition of
gain? He lost his ship and got the insurance money from his brother
associates. From the loss of the ship he got that which was a gain to himself,
and this, his lordship thought, fulfilled the meaning of section 4. No associa-
tion, therefore, of which the law could take cognizance had existed, and no
winding-up order could be made. His lordship added that in Smith v.
Anderson (29 W. R. 21, L. R. 15 Ch. D. 281) he had expressed an inclination
of opinion to the contrary, but after full argument he felt that that opinion
could not be sustained. LINDLEY, L.J., said that the question was whether a
diversion of loss from the individual members was a gain to them within the
meaning of section 4. He thought the words were wide enough, and were
intended to be wide enough, to include such a case. Then what was the con-
sequence of the association not being registered? The words of the section
were imperative, and they meant that such an association, if unregistered,
was illegal in this sense, that the law could not recognize its existence, except
in a criminal court.—SOLICITORS, Clarkson, Greenwell, & Wyles; G. E.

LAW STUDENTS' JOURNAL.

LAW STUDENTS' DEBATING SOCIETY. Tuesday, January 10.-Mr. E. G. Spiers in the chair.-Mr. D. Stewart Smith was elected a member. The secretary presented to the meeting his report of the proceedings of the society during the quarter which commenced on the 25th of October and terminated on the 13th of December. By the report it appeared that during the quarter the society had held eight meetings which had been equally occupied with the discussion of legal and general subjects. Twenty-eight new members had been elected. The average attendance was 31, the highest number at any one meeting being 43, and the lowest 21. The average number of speakers was 9, and of voters 19. After some business had been disposed of, the society proceeded to discuss the recommendations contained in the report of the Legal Procedure Committee. (See SOLICITORS' JOURNAL, October 15, 1881). Mr. Montagu opened the debate disapproving of the report, and in the discussion which followed the recommendations were very unfavourably criticised. On a vote being taken at the conclusion of the debate, the opinion of the meeting proved to be unanimously against the recommendations.
