county court actions for various sums. Among the items were charges for work done before the commencement of an action, such as "attending and consulting upon a claim against G.," and also for work done after an action had been completed by judgment, such as for letters and attendances with reference to the payment of instalments, and with reference to enforcing pay. ment and issuing execution.

Upon the bill being sent to the master for taxation all such items were objected to on behalf of Messrs. Isaac & Co., upon the ground that the actions being brought in a county court, the only costs that the solicitors were entitled to, in the absence of an agreement in writing with their clients to the contrary, were these named in the county court scale (2nd November, 1875), and that these items not appearing in the scale could not be allowed on taxation. The master overruled the objection, and allowed the items in question, holding that they were "for reasonable attendances before action commenced in the county court," or "for matters after judgment, and were not provided for in the county court scale." Stepben, J., in chambers upheld the master's decision, and Messrs. Isaac & Co. appealed to the court. Harrison, Q C., and Littleton, for Messrs. Isaac & Co., argued that the items in question were for costs incurred "in the conduct of the suit," and therefore came within section 36 of the County Courts Act, 1856, and were provided for by the scale, and that, therefore, unless subject to a contract in writing, could only be recovered if permitted by the county court scale, and that, as they did not appear in the scale, they should have been disallowed by the master.

The COURT, without calling upon counsel for the solicitors (McIntyre, Q C., and A. McIntyre, affirmed the decision of the judge, DENMAN, J., saying that he could not agree with the contention that the only charges that could be made were those specified in the county court scale. That scale commenced at "Letter before action" and "Instructions to sue," and ended with "Taxing costs"; it was argued that this was intended to provide for every charge for work done by the solicitor before the commencement or after the conclusion of the action, such as charges for advice as to whether an action lay, and for time and labour expended in recovering payment of an instalment after judgment. It was clear that such charges were not "costs or charges in the conduct of the suit"; and that if the result of the solicitor's advice were that no action was brought, he would none the less be entitled to recover his charges for that advice, and it could not have been intended that he should recover in the one case and not in the other. In his opinion charges such as these were intended to be excluded from the scale of charges, which, therefore, did not apply to them.

POLLOCK, B., gave judgment to the same effect, saying that, though no doubt all charges made in addition to instructions to sue should always be regarded by the master with great jealousy, still there were cases in which a solicitor had to expend much time and trouble in deciding whether any, and what, proceedings should be taken; and his lordship expressed his opinion that the present case seemed to be an instance of such; where that was so the question could not be made to depend upon whether proceedings were ultimately taken or not. If the result were that no proceedings were taken, clearly the work would not be in the conduct of any suit, and the solicitor might recover against his client, and it would be most unjust and unreasonable to say that if the result were no proceedings, the charge for the same work would be covered by the item "Instruc. tions to sue," so that the solicitor could not recover. As to the other items for work done after judgment, they, too, should always be regarded with care by the master, but if he found that the charges had been reasonably incurred, they would clearly not be matters to which the scale applied.

THE RAILWAY COMMISSION.*

June 15.-Colman v. Great Eastern Railway Company.

from any such station to Trowse, is for the conveyance of such traffic on the railway, including therein tolls for the use of the railway, for the use of carriages, or for locomotive power, and how much is for other expenses, specifying the nature and detail of such other expenses.

The defendants, in obedience to such order, gave, in addition to the rate for conveyance, a list of the various terminal services which they performed for the particular traffic, and stated what their total charge was for the whole of such services.

The applicants took out a summons for the infliction of penalties on the defendants for not obeying the commissioners' order. W. A. Hunter appeared for the applicants.

H. Sutton, for the defendants.

The COMMISSIONERS delivered the following judgment :

We think the information given is not in compliance with our order. The Act of Parliament assumes that a rate consists of two parts, first, a part for the conveyance of the traffic, and, secondly, a part for other expenses, and as regards the second part, it requires the nature and detail of such other expenses to be specified. The railway company have thought it sufficient in this case to give a list of the various terminal services which they perform, and to state merely what their total charge is for the whole of those various services, but not to say how much of that total charge is for each of tho se services. We think that is not sufficient. We think they are bound to state as regards each rate for traffic in the Trowse rate-book to which our order applies, what terminal services or other expenses they undertake to perform with regard to that particular traffic, and how much they charge for each of such terminal services, distinguishing whether the charge is for services at both terminal stations or only at one. The railway company will have to pay the costs of this summons. Solicitors for the applicants, Flux & Leadbitter, for W. H. Tillett & Co., Norwich. Solicitor for the defendants, C. A. Curwood.

(Before J. M. HERBERT, Esq., Judge.)

June 10.-James Preece v. Joseph Elliott.

Th's was a case in which the plaintiff, an innkeeper, of the Harp Inn, Hoar witby, sued the defendant, a postmaster, of Hereford, for the price of a rick of hay.

The case was entered for trial by jury, having been sent down from the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court, pursuant to 19 & 20 Vict. c. 103, Before the case was called on, and in the absence of the solicitor for the defendant,

made without it.

Mr. Corner explained that as the name of the solicitor was on the record it would have come before his Honour, who must therefore have become aware of the substitution,

His HONOUR said he had not power to allow it; but if Mr. Corner took a retainer from the plaintiff, he could appear on his behalf.

Mr. Corner then drew up a document which was signed by the plaintiff, and just afterwards,

Mr. Garrold, on behalf of the defendant, took objection to the application, which had been made during his absence. He said that Mr. Bullock bad acted in the matter up to Thursday last.

His HONOUR said he was quite aware that a solicitor could not appear for a solicitor, but Mr. Corner could take a retainer from the plaintiff and accept

Section 14 of the Regulation of Railways Act, 1873 (36 & 37 Vict. c. 48), enacts (inter alia) "The commissioners may, from time to time, on the application of any person interested, make orders with respect to any particular description of traffic, requiring a railway company, or canal company, to distinguish in such book how much of each rate is for the conveyance of the traffic on the railway or canal, including therein tolls for the use of the railway or canal, for the use of carriages or vessels, or for locomotive power, and how much is for other expenses, specifying the nature and detail of such other expenses."

[ocr errors]

Held, by the commissioners, that the words "specifying the nature and detail of such other expenses," require a railway company to state in their rate-book, to which the order applies, what terminal services they undertake to perform with regard to the particular traffic, and how much they charge for each of such terminal services, and that a railway company does not sufficiently comply with the section by giving a list of the various terminal services which they perform and stating what their total charge is for the whole of those services.

This was an application made to the commissioners by Messrs. Colman for an order declaring that the Great Eastern Railway Company had not obeyed an order made by the commissioners. The order, which was made by consent, ordered (inter alia) the Great Eastern Railway Company to distinguish in their book of rates and distances kept at their station at Trowse how much of each rate for traffic of the descriptions carried by them for the applicants from their station at Trowse to any station on the line of the defendants, and Reported by W. H. MACNAMARA, Esq., Barrister-at-Law.

Mr. Corner. I can hardly suppose Mr. Garrold to be serious in this objec

tion.

Mr. Garrold.-I am generally serious when I make statements in open court. Mr. Bullock has acted in this matter, and another solicitor cannot now be substituted in the action without the certificate of the master. His HONOUR.-Was the cause sent down here on a writ or issue joined ? Mr. Garrold. It was on issue joined. You have to act as commissioner. His HONCUR.-That is so. I have no power to allow Mr. Corner to appear for Mr. Bullock without a certificate or order from a superior court.

Mr. Garrold said he made the objection on behalf of solicitors, to protect them from persons taking cases up to a certain point and then handing them over to another solicitor.

Mr. Garrold remarked that Mr. Bullock was in court.

His HONOUR.-Perhaps he is prepared to go on with the case now. Mr. Bullock said he was ready to go on, but should prefer Mr. Corner taking it up.

His HONOUR.-Then why not have applied for an order from the superior court?

Mr. Garrold.—Mr. Bullock's name appeared on the record up to to-day. Mr. Bullock.-I was not aware Mr. Garrold was going to make such an objection.

His HONOUR.-I can do this: I will adjourn the case to allow an application to be made to the superior court.

Mr. Corner. The result of Mr. Garrold's objection will be to compel the plaintiff to appear by counsel.

His HONOUR then adjourned the case on the condition stated.

FOREIGN MARRIAGE LAWS.

THE Council of the Social Science Association have recently had under their consideration the question of the operation of the foreign marriage laws, under which marriages, contracted in England between foreign and British subjects, are sometimes held by foreign courts to be invalid by reason of the non-compliance on the part of the foreigner with the conditions prescribed by the law of his country. The council, however, having regard to the state of public opinion here, and the difficulty of the subject, were not prepared to suggest any legislation, whether founded on international convention or otherwise, But with the view of suggesting a means whereby the danger of invalidity might be brought to the notice of all persons about to contract marriage in England with foreigners, the council asked if the archbishops would consider the desirableness of communicating with the vicars-general, registrars, surrogates, and other officials, with a view to secure that, in all cases where a licence is sought for the solemnization of marriage between parties either of whom is a foreign subject, due precautions be taken, by requiring the produc tion of a certificate or otherwise, to ascertain that the foreign party is competent, according to the law of his or her own country, to contract the intended marriage. With a view also to bring the provisions of the French and Belgian law under the notice of the clergy in general, the archbishops were asked if they would consider the propriety of causing to be circulated amongst them copies of a "Memorandum" on the subject specially drawn up for the purpose by order of the executive committee of the association. Their Graces acknowledged, in courteous terms, the receipt of this letter, and, admitting the importance of the matter laid before them, and the necessity for bringing it under the notice of the bishops and clergy, willingly responded to the request document, a thousand copies of which have now been placed in the hands of of the council by assenting to circulate, in the way proposed, copies of the both archbishops.

The following is the text of the Memorandum :

MEMORANDUM AS TO FRENCH AND BELGIAN MARRIAGE LAW. This Memorandum is not intended to give a full account of the requirements of the French or the Belgian law on the subject of marriage, but it has been prepared for the information of clergymen and others, in order to put them on their guard against difficulties of which they might not otherwise have been aware.

(1) Any person intermarrying in England with a French subject, although all the solemnities have been observed which are required by the law of Eng. land, is liable to bave his or her marriage declared invalid in a French court, unless the requirements of the French law as to the age of the French subject, the consent of parents or relatives, and the publication of notices, have been complied with. It is therefore recommended to every British subject proposing to intermarry with a French subject that the assistance of the nearest French diplomatic agent or consul should be obtained, with a view to ascertain that the requirements of the French law have been duly complied with, and to procure duly legalized evidence of such compliance.

(2) No Frenchman can intermarry under eighteen years of age, and no French woman under fifteen, without a dispensation.

(3) No Frenchman under twenty-five, nor Frenchwoman under twenty. one, can lawfully contract marriage without the consent of his or her parents, or parent if only one is alive. In case of difference between father and mother, the consent of the father is sufficient. If both parents are dead or incapable, the consent of the grand-parents is required, subject to the like provision in case of their disagreement. If there be no parents or grandparents alive or capable, the consent of a family council is required.

(4) Where a French subject has attained his or her age of twenty-five or twenty-one years, the French law still requires a respectful communication of the intention to contract a marriage to be made to the relatives, whose consent would be required if the party were still under the age respectively of twenty-five or twenty-one years, and the French law does not authorize any such intended marriage to be solemnized, if objected to by those relatives, until after a certain delay.

(5) A notice of an intended marriage of a French subject is required by the French law to be twice published at the town hall of the place which is deemed by the French law to be the principal place of residence of such subject in his or her own country. The publications must take place at an interval of eight days between them, and the marriage cannot [without a dispensation] lawfully take place until the third day after the second publication.

(6) The provisions of the Belgian law are identical with those of the French law in the matters specified in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

The requirements as to age and the consent of relatives are enforced with great strictness in the French and Belgian courts. Those as to the publica
