setting forth in detail the objections to the site, was ap. proved by the meeting, and representations of the like purport were also made from the meeting to the Treasury and to the Lord Chancellor. The views, so expressed, were also shared by the judge and the registrars of the county court. Mr. Evans, as your president, and Mr. Thomas Horton, as your honorary secretary, attended as a deputation to the Board of Works, when an attentive consideration was given by the First Commissioner, Mr. Noel, to their representations, and a request was made for information as to other alternative sites which the deputation stated to be available. Mr. Evans and Mr. Horton, with Mr. G. J. Johnson, attended the First Commissioner of Works a second time with plans and particulars of alternative sites, all of which were, in the opinion of your committee, preferable, and could have been acquired at a less cost than the site selected in Lichfield-street. To the surprise of the deputation, they were at that interview told that their action was too late, as a lease of the Lichfield-street site, giving to the lessees an option to acquire the freehold at an agreed price, bearing the seal of the corporation of Birmingham, was produced, and the deputation were also informed that unless the corporation were willing to relieve the Board of Works from the lease, the board could not interfere. Further inquiry led to the disclosure that the Improvement Com mittee of the town council, not only without authority, but in contravention of the limited and strictly-defined powers delegated to them by the council, had for some months been in negotiation with the agents of the Board of Works, resulting in the arrangement for a lease and virtual sale of the site in question, and though the Improvement Committe had to that date twice reported to the council, no mention of any arrangement, or even of the negotiations with the Board of Works, was made; and when an intimation appeared in the public press of a meeting of the legal profession to consider the question, the seal of the corporation was, on the same day, and without the authority of the council, affixed to a lease, and the document sent as a valid instrument to the Board of Works. Your committee, conceiving that the town council as representatives of the community would accept the suggested inquiry, memorialized that body, setting forth the objections to the Lichfieldstreet site, and urging the concurrence of the council in a request to the Board of Works that, before any site was definitely adopted, an inquiry should be had as to the most suitable site then available for the important buildings proposed to be erected. The memorial was presented by Mr. Martineau, and ably supported by him, Mr. Edwards, and Mr. Johnson, but the proposal for giving effect to the views of the memorialists was rejected by a vote of fortythree against fifteen, and a resolution was adopted in effect approving the proceedings of the Improvement Committee n negotiating the lease and virtual sale of the Lichfield. street site, in direct contravention of their strictly-defined powers, and after action was taken by the legal profession in opposition to the site, in affixing without any authority whatever the seal of the corporation to the lease. committee cannot but regard the action of the Improvement Committee-the subsequent rejection by the town council of the reasonable request for inquiry, and their ratification of the Improvement Committee's unauthorized proceedings-as a grave irregularity in the administration of municipal affairs. The question of the proper site for so important a judicial tribunal as the county court, with the district registries of the High Court of Justice, is one in which the community are much more interested than are the legal profession, and by the adoption of the Lichfield-street site, consequent upon the action of the Improvement Committee and the town council, and as to the latter body in defiance of an urgent request for an inquiry, your committee feel the true interests of all have been disregarded.

The following are extracts from the report of the com

mittee:

The treasurer's accounts have been audited, showing a balance of £62 10s. 10d. in favour of the society. A copy of the balance-sheet accompanies this report. Your committee have to congratulate the members on the satisfactory state of the society's finances, more especially as it will be necessary, at no distant period, to obtain larger accommodation for the purposes of the library, as the present room is now overcrowded with books. Your committee have considered the possibility of purchasing the entire building which, if accomplished, would give greater accommodation for the library department, and the other part might possibly be used as an auction room for sale of real property much required. The subject has been mentioned to the solicitor

of the proprietors of the Old City Library, who has the MANCHESTER LAW STUDENTS' DEBATINGTM matter under his consideration.

Your committee have had before them the several County Courts Bills which were introduced into Parliament during the past year, also the Lord Chancellor's Bankruptcy Bill and other Bills which were considered and reported upon, bat as they were not proceeded with your committee du not think it necessary further to refer to them.

Upon the Bill to amend the law relating to the Summary Jurisdiction of Magistrates, Mr. Martin Curtler, one of the committee, to whom the Bill was referred by the committee, made a valuable report, and your committee came to the conclusion that it would be unwise to abolish imprisonment for debt in all cases of disobedience to orders of justices for payment of a sum of money, and that such a change in the law would, especially in bastardy cases, be productive of great hardship.

Your committee having received copies of resolutions of several provincial law societies upon the subject of solicitors attesting bills of sale when presented for attestation by other persons than solicitors, came to the conclusion that it was the duty of a solicitor to attest such documents by whomsoever presented, and passed a resolution to that effect.

Your committee would wish to congratulate the profession generally upon the improved system of conducting the examination of candidates for admission on the rolls which has been established by the Incorporated Law Society-it having now been decided to have voluntary examinations for honours, with class lists, and which your committee feel will be a great incentive to law students, and of advantage to the profession.

(Before J. A. RUSSELL, Esq., Q.C., Judge.)

Feb. 7.-Bradburn v. Haddon.

This was an action to recover £50 rent due to the plaintiff. The defendant claimed a set-off amounting to £22 13s. for damages sustained by reason of a bedroom and drawingroom at his residence, Monk's Hall, Eccles, being rendered useless owing to an offensive smell.

Taylor, appeared for the plaintiff.
Yates, for the defendant.

Taylor, in opening the case said the plaintiff was Mr. James Bradburn, of Eccles, the owner of a dwelling-house known by the name of Monk's Hall, and the defendant was Dr. John Haddon, his tenant; and the action was brought to recover £50, being the rent due to the plaintiff for two quarters. Dr. Haddon rented the house in 1872 under a lease for ten years at an annual rental of £100, payable quarterly, and the plaintiff covenanted to well and sufficiently repair any damage caused to the house and premises by fire, storm, or tempest, and in the event of the premises becoming otherwise wholly or partially uninhabitable, then, and in such case the rent reserved, or a fair and proportionate part of t, according to the extent of the injury

sustained, should cease and be suspended during the time the premises or any part of them should remain wholly or partially uninhabitable or unfit for use. In January, 1878, the defendant complained of a bad smell in the house, but the plaintiff was not disposed to incur any expense; whereupon the defendant made complaints to the local board, and the premises were several times inspected by the officers of the board. On the 5th of October, 1878, the defendant wrote to the plaintiff to say that in consequence of the stench in the drawing-room and a spare bedroom over it, he had had the carpets removed and the rooms shut up as uninhabitable, and that in future he should deduct at the rate of £12 10s. per quarter from the rent until the plaintiff had those rooms made habitable again.

The plaintiff contended that if any offensive smell existed he was not responsible for it, that he had done all in his power to comply with his tenant's wishes, and that he was entitled to his rent. If any offensive smell existed -and upon that point the evidence was conflicting-it arose from defective drainage for which the plaintiff was not responsible.-After hearing evidence at great length on both sides,

His HONOUR said the defendant had failed to make out to his satisfaction that the premises were wholly or partially uninhabitable by reason of the cause complained of. That being so, the defendant was not entitled to the reduction of rent which he claimed, or any part of it, and there would be a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed with costs.
