BIGGS ANDREWS, Q.C. Mr. Biggs Andrews, Q.C., formerly a commissioner of bankruptcy, died at his residence, Heavitree House, Exeter, on the 28th ult., at the age of eighty-fiye. Mr. Andrews was born in 1795, and was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in Michaelmas Term, 1819. He practised for several years on the Norfolk Circuit and at the Norfolk and Suffolk Sessions, and in 1837 received a silk gown from Lord Cottenham. In 1858 he was appointed by Lord Chelmsford to the office of commissioner of bankruptcy for the Exeter District, and held that office till its abolition by the Bankruptcy Act, 1869, when be retired on a pension. Andrews was the oldest surviving Queen's Counsel, and the senior bencher of the Middle Temple, having been treasurer of that society in 1846. He was a magistrate for Devonshire, and he was for several years one of the chairmen of quarter sessions for that county. Mr. MR. ROBERT HIORNE HOBBS. Mr. Robert Hiorne Hobbs, solicitor (of the firm of Hobbs, Son, & Pearce), of Stratford-upon-Avon, died at that place on the 30th ult., in his eightieth year. Mr. Hobbs was born in 1800. He was admitted a solicitor in 1828, and had ever since practised at Stratford-upon-Avon, having an extensive and lucrative business. He was for several years associated with Mr. Thomas Slatter, but more recently he had practised in partnership with his son, Mr. William Hobbs, who was admitted a solicitor in 1865, and with Mr. Alexander Pearse. He was a perpetual commissioner for Warwickshire, and he had held several important appointments, having been for many years clerk to the Stratford Board of Guardians, the governors of the Grammar School, and the trustees of the Town Charity Estates, and superintendent registrar. Mr. Hobbs was solicitor to the Stratford Gas Company, and he was registrar of the Stratford County Court (Circuit No. 22) from the passing of the first County Courts Act, until two or three years ago, when he was succeeded by his son. MR. WILLIAM CLARKE. Mr. William Clarke, solicitor (the head of the firm of Clarke, Rawlins, & Clarke), of Gresham-house, Old Broad-street, died at his residence, 18, Kensington-parkgardens, on the 15th ult. Mr. Clarke was admitted a solicitor in 1846, when he went into partnership at 29, Coleman-street with the late Sir Thomas Tilson (afterwards chairman of the Surrey Sessions), and with Messrs. Bryan Parr Squance and David Simpson Morice. He had been for many years the head of the firm, and had more recently removed to Gresham-house, where he was associated with Messrs. Alexander Henry Clarke, Herbert Onslow Clarke, and Cyril Mortimer Murray Rawlins. Mr. Clarke was a perpetual commissioner for the county of Middlesex and the cities of London and Westminster, and he had a very large and lucrative mercantile practice. His firm had been solicitors to the London Joint Stock Bank ever since its foundation, and he also acted for Sion College, the Scottish Provincial Assurance Company, and the Phoenix Gas Company. MR. JOHN BARBER. Mr. John Barber, the oldest solicitor at Derby, died on the 27th ult., in his eighty-fourth year, from the effects of a street accident, having been run over by a wagonette. Mr. Barber was born in 1796, and was admitted a solicitor in 1824, and had practised for over fifty years at Derby. He was first associated in partnership with Mr. Bryan Thomas Balguy, many years town clerk of Derby, and with Mr. Porter, next with Mr. William Eaton Mousley, and afterwards with Mr. Francis Barber and Mr. Benjamin Scott Carrey, but for the last few years he had carried on business alone. He was a perpetual commissioner for Derbyshire and had an extensive private practice, and was agent for the Duke of Devonshire's estates in the neighbourhood of Derby.

Collier, 123; Mr. H. Pook, 17. Mr. Carttar's father had held the office for forty-nine years, and his grandfather for twenty-two years previously. THE APPOINTMENT OF SOLICITOR OF INLAND REVENUE IN IRELAND. LAST week a general meeting of solicitors was held in the Solicitors'-buildings, Four Courts, Dublin, for the purpose of considering the recent appointment of Solicitor of Inland Revenue, and of deciding on what steps should be taken in reference thereto. Mr. Henry Augustus Dillon took the chair. The CHAIRMAN said they were there to take such steps as should be considered advisable in respect of the appointment which had recently been made to one of the many situations of which from time to time their profession had been unjustly despoiled. This was no new. matter. Previous meetings of the profession and previous councils had found it necessary to take steps with reference to it. In June, 1859, a meeting of the profession was held on a similar subject, and again in 1866 the council which then represented the society had to convene a meeting to protest against an appointment which they considered improper and unfair to the profession. With the gentleman who had been recently appointed to the situation now in question they had no cause of quarrel at all. It was not with him they quarrelled, but with the system under which such a job could be perpetrated. Mr. WEST moved the following resolution :-"That we hereby express our extreme dissatisfaction at the appoint. ment of a barrister to the office of Solicitor of the Inland Revenue Department, and protest against the appointment of any person other than a solicitor to perform duties for the efficient discharge of which the professional edu cation of a solicitor is essential." He did not mean to make any observations as to the merits of the gentleman who had been appointed, but would confine himself strictly to the resolution. The posts for which solicitors were eligible, even in common with members of the bar, were so few that they should resist, as far as they could, any of those appointments being taken from them. They were not there to complain of another appointment of a member of the bar to a position which had been previously filled by a solicitor, that appointment having been strictly within the legitimate patronage of the head of the court. But that gave them an additional right to complain of the appointment of a barrister to a post which, as its very name indicated, was peculiarly one to have been filled by a solicitor. They knew that the duties of that office were those of a solicitor. When had the authorities gone out of their way to select from the solicitors' profession a man to fill a post of any importance for which others were eligible? Another cause of dissatisfaction was that the offices of Solicitor of the Treasury, of the Customs, of the Post Office, of the Admiralty, and of the War Department might every one of them be filled by gentlemen who were not solicitors. That was a most unworthy and unjust stigma upon their profession. The educational status of the profession was greatly different now from what it was half a century ago. He would read for them the following question on the subject, put to Sir Thomas Freemantle when he was president of the Board of Customs, and his answer to it:-"Is it an advantage to the public service to have a solicitor in preference to a barrister? Yes; my mind has undergone a great change upon that subject. I had formerly a prejudice in favour of the bar, but from becoming more cognizant of the working of the department, I think that a solicitor is much the most useful man; for in fact the business of prosecution occupies a very great part of his time, which a solicitor is better able to conduct. There is no doubt that there is a great deal of disagreeable business in getting up a case for presentation in the court, and your barristersolicitor left all that to subordinates and merely took his brief when he went into court. No doubt, on the other hand, you often require the legal opinion of our solicitor, and in that case it must be supposed that the opinion of a man bred to the bar would be a better one than the opinion of a mere solicitor; but I doubt, even in that case, whether we do not get as good, or even a better opinion, as these questions turn much upon the interpretation of the Customs Revenue law rather than of the general law. I am quite satisfied with the opinion of the solicitor in most cases." Some persons considered that that meeting had been held rather late. They had not, however, been idle in the matter. More than a year ago, when it was thought that a change in respect of the 80 office in question was impending, a strong but respectful memorial was addressed to the Treasury, the Chancellor, the Lord Lieutenant, and others who were thought to have influence in the matter, and when they heard that the appointment was nearly made they sent another communication calling attention to that memorial. Mr. J. H. NUNN, in seconding the resolution, said he had no personal object to serve, for he was happy to state that he had never yet asked any Government for an appointment, that would be given to the present protest, on behalf of the and he had never been offered one. No doubt the answer gentleman who had been appointed, whose acquaintance he had the highest regard, and whom he was sure they would (Mr. Nunn) had enjoyed for a long time, and for whom he all find a most pleasant and agreeable man of business-was that a great deal of the business of his office would consist in giving counsel's opinions. But was not that true of almost every solicitor ? The business of their Sessional Crown Solicitors was to a great extent that of a barrister; they conducted many prosecutions quite as ably as counsel did. Mr. W. MILWARD JONES said he had had a conversation with a high official, who told him most distinctly that the appointment in question was made in England, and without the sanction, and almost without the knowledge, of the Lord Chancellor in Ireland, who would have been in favour of giving the office to a solicitor. The resolution having been put and carried, Mr. E. R. Dix moved:-"That inasmuch as the Act 9 Geo. 4, c. 25, by which alone the recent appointment of a barrister to the office of Solicitor of Inland Revenue is authorized, operates unjustly towards our profession, petitions be presented to Parliament praying for the repeal of the said statute, and that it be referred to the council of the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland to take the necessary steps for that purpose." The plea that this office required any special knowledge or judgment was a hollow sham. There was nothing whatever in its duties different from those that every other solicitor in large practice performed every day of his life. On the contrary, the duties were a great deal less difficult and responsible than those of ordinary professional life, because the Solicitor of Inland Revenue had only to make himself up upon the law of one subject instead of that of every subject. They had heard, when a discussion took place about the chief clerks in Chancery, that solicitors were not competent to perform judicial functions; and if they were to be excluded from those functions, surely they might be let to do business for which they had been specially educated. The Act of Parliament on the question was in truth a job, and a series of jobs had since been perpetrated under it. Mr. WM. ROCHE, in seconding the motion, said this was not a party question. It had nothing to do with party or persons. If any question arose in the carrying out of the business of the office in question, the opinion of the Attorney-General would be taken, and not that of the gentleman who by the wave of a magic wand had been converted into a solicitor without having undergone the usual training peculiar to the profession. Mr. R. K. CLAY was happy to find the council had funds at their disposal to carry out this matter, but in any case he was sure the profession would not have hesitated to provide the necessary sinews of war. The motion was adopted, and after some formal votes the proceedings terminated. Creditors' Claims. CREDITORS UNDER ESTATES IN CHANCERY. May 31. Evans ▾ LAST DAY OF PROOF.

In this case a rule was obtained, as long ago as July, 1879, calling upon Mr. Day to answer a certain affidavit, or, in the alternative, to show cause why he should not be struck off the rolls. It appeared that in June, 1870, a Miss Lock had given Mr. Day £400 to invest for her; that he had paid the interest on this sum up to December, 1878, when the payments ceased; but that he had several times told Miss Lock that he was unable to meet with a suitable investment for so small a sum as £400. The matter has been before the court on several previous occasions, the last one being the 23rd of March last (reported ante, p. 408), when the case was adjourned for one month, on the understanding that Mr. Day would pay £100 to Miss Lock's solicitor within that time. Boddam showed cause.-The defendant paid the £100 he undertook to pay on the last occasion, not indeed within one month, but during the week in which the month expired. Mr. Day is now seventy-five years old, he has practised for forty-seven years, and his default arose solely from his being struck down with paralysis in 1872, since which date he was compelled to leave his business to other people; he has done his best and throws himself on the mercy of the court. Pitt-Lewis, for Miss Lock.-I do not press for any severe punishment, but I must remind the court that this £400 is all Miss Lock has, and also that the defendant has not taxed the bill of the solicitor who has lately acted for him. Boddam.-It has not been rendered, and we have not been able to get it. DENMAN, J.-The matter stands thus: in 1870 Miss Lock gave Day £400 to invest, he was seized with paralysis in 1872, and it is put forward in his behalf that he never pretended that he had found an investment for the money, but that the money was left in his hands, and that he paid interest upon it up to 1878. When the matter was before Mr. Baron Pollock and myself, we did not assume that the defendant had been guilty of any misconduct. A voluntary offer was then made, and we allowed the case to stand over, in order that the offer might be carried out. LOPES, J.-The facts being as stated by Mr. Justice Denman, where is the misconduct? Where wrong doing is proved, I have over and over again expressed my dissent from making these applications the medium of compelling the repayment of money, and then when that has been accomplished, of allowing the matter to drop. That, however, is not quite this case. DENMAN, J.-I think that the best course is to discharge this rule without costs. LOPES, J., concurred. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE.

OF ENSUING WEEK.

Matheson & Co. are authorized to receive subscriptions for £2,500,000 mortgage bonds of the Rio Tinto Company (Limited). Interest five per cent., payable quarterly in London or Paris. The issue price is 89, payable by instalments extending to August 14. The bonds are redeemable at par by half-yearly drawings extending over thirty-three years. The payment of the principal and interest of the bonds is specially secured by a general mortgage over the whole of the existing property of the company, both real and personal, including the Rio Tinto Mines, the railway therefrom to Huelva, and the pier at that port; subject, only as respects the mines, to the Spanish Coupon Five per Cent. Bonds, the whole of which will be extinguished in July, 1895. The object of the present issue is the repayment of the existing seven per cent. bonds, and the consolidation of the floating debt.
