A meeting of the Rule Committee of Judges took place on Wednesday at the Lord Chancellor's room in the House of Lords, there being present the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice of England, the Master of the Rolls, the President of the Probate, Divorce, and Admiralty Division, Lord Justice Lindley, Mr. Baron Pollock, and Mr. Justice Fry.

On Monday, in the House of Commons, Mr. Firth asked the First Commissioner of Works when the new Law Courts would be ready for occupation; why the unsightly scaffolding which now remained in front of finished parts of the building was not removed; and why the clock-case had remained empty for four yeare. Mr. Shaw-Lefevre said: The contractors will, I believe, be in a position to hand over the buildings to the Government in about a month; and the courts will in every respect be fit for the occupation of the judges at the commencement of the Michaelmas Term. Till the buildings are given up by the contractors I have no power to remove the scaffolding. The clock, I hope, will be completed by the time it is wanted-namely, when the courts are occupied.

STEPHENS' SCARLET INK FOR STEEL PENS,

This new Ink supplies the demand continually made but 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., 28., 3s. ; and imperial quarts of 40 ounces at 68. each. Also in glass bottles at 6d, and 1s. each.

CURRENT TOPICS.

LONDON, JULY 15, 1882.

THE IMPORTANT STEP we announced last week as about to be taken with a view to relieving the pressure of business in the Chancery Division has now been resolved upon. A notice has been posted up in the Cause Book Room (No. 136), at the Chancery Registrars' Office in the Royal Courts of Justice, stating that, "in view of the proposed transfer to the Queen's Bench Division of such actions brought in the Chancery Division as are not specially assigned to the Chancery Division by section 34 of the Judicature Act, 1873, the senior registrar has, by the direction of the Lord Chancellor, to give notice that the solicitor entering for trial or setting down on motion for judgment any action commenced in the Chancery Division, will, from and after the 11th of July, be required to certify shortly on the back of the præcipe what is the cause of action." The orders of course clerks will mark with the letter "C." those actions which, by the section before mentioned, are assigned to the Chancery Division, while all others will be marked with the letters "Q. B." It is understood that such causes as shall be under this notice marked "Q. B." will be transferred to the Queen's Bench Division for hearing at the Michaelmas Sittings.

AS MANY OF OUR READERS will have learnt from Mr. DRUCE's remarks at the annual meeting of the Incorporated Law Society, the draft of the proposed order under the Solicitors' Remuneration Act has at length been received by the council of the society for consideration, in pursuance of section 3 of the Act. It is unpleasant to learn that the draft order is not satisfactory. The council have a month from the receipt of the draft order within which to submit observations and suggestions in writing, which are to be "taken into consideration" by the persons authorized to make the order, who, "after duly considering the same," may make an order either in the terms of the draft order or with such alterations, additions, or amendments as to them may seem

fit.

MR. GLADSTONE was not perhaps very happy in citing the events which led to the emancipation of Greece from the government of Turkey as a precedent in international law justifying the bombardment of the forts at Alexandria. It has been remarked that the acts leading to the emancipation of Greece are very difficult to justify on any grounds of international law, and Sir W. HARCOURT himself has described the emancipation as "a high act of policy above and beyond the domains of law. As an act of policy it may have been, and probably was, justifiable, but it was not the less a hostile act" (Letters of Historicus, p. 6). The recent action at Alexandria may introduce a new application of principle, but the principle upon which it is founded is well established. It is that international law considers the right of selfpreservation as prior and paramount to that of territorial inviolability, and where they conflict justifies the maintenance of the former at the expense of the latter (1 Phillimore, 314). This right of self-preservation arises where an overt attack is made, or about to be made, upon a State by persons enjoying the protection afforded by the territory of another State, and it is useless to call upon the State, which serves as a cover for the act, to prevent it. "We have stated," said Mr. GLADSTONE, "in the most distinct and categorical language that we are fighting for the security of her Majesty's fleet, which was menaced by a continuous and deliberate course, denied, but still steadily pursued, of erecting fortifications, which might have arrived at a point

which we could not limit or define, and which would have been a serious danger." It should have been added, to make the defence complete, that it was useless to call upon either the Khedive or the Sultan to prevent this course from being pursued.

THE REMARKABLE ADVANTAGES attending the plan of sending judges of the Queen's Bench Division to preside in the courts at Lincoln's-inn are well shown by the case of In re Cottrell, Woods v. Cottrell, which came before the Court of Appeal last Tuesday. It was an ordinary administration action at the suit of specific legatees. The writ was issued in 1880, and a receiver was appointed in 1881. On the 21st of January last the action came on for trial before Mr. Justice MANISTY, who was sitting for Mr. Justice KAY, who was sitting for Mr Justice CHITTY, who was sitting in an assize court at Manchester. There was no opposition to the plaintiffs' claim at the bar. Mr. Justice MANISTY, however, declined to make the order asked for. It seemed to him (perhaps not without some reason) "contrary to all notions of justice" to make such an order. It is perhaps, an amiable fiction that the court confers a benefit by undertaking an administration; but the theory is not unreasonable from the point of view of the court itself, and, at all events, it has the sanction of authority from a remote period. The earliest extant record of a bill for the administration of the trusts of a will dates from the reign of Henry V., and the jurisdiction has been exercised ever since. But Mr. Justice MANISTY did not consider himself to be bound by authority in the matter. "All I can say is "--we quote from his judgment—" that, unless I were constrained by authority which left me no choice in the matter, I would not be a party to such a cruel proceeding, which is, to my mind, simply gratuitously unnecessary, and gratuitously crue. to the parties, and which can have no other result than consuming a very large portion of the testator's estate in costs." The interest as entitled them to have the estate administered startled doctrine propounded at the bar that the legatees had such an the learned judge. "Of course," he said, "I have not much experience in these cases, and I confess I am astonished to hear it suggested that this court will entertain such an application as this, there being no allegation that the son and nephew [i.e., the trustees and executors of the will] are not respectable people, and that the stocks are not existing at this moment, and that they are not dealing properly with them." As to the appointment of the receiver he said, "It is something quite shocking. There is actually a receiver to get in the outstanding personal estate of the testator,

and actually the trustees are to hand over to the receiver all securities relating to the personal estate and all books and papers relating to the personal estate. I cannot believe that the judge who made this order had any notion of the facts of the case." He is actually to receive the whole of the estate of the testator and to pass his accounts from time to time. Well, it may be the practice of the court, but I cannot direct any such thing." His lordship then gave judgment, declaring that the trusts of the will, so far as they concerned the specific securities, ought to be carried into execution by the trustees and not by the court, and ordering that the securities should be transferred to the trustees, that the receiver should not act any further, that each party should bear his own costs, and that, until the infant plaintiff attained twenty-one, all parties should have liberty to apply. When the appeal came on it was not opposed, and the court at once discharged the judgment appealed against, and, in lieu thereof, gave the ordinary judgment for administration, as at the suit of specific legatees, providing for transfer of the specific securities into court and for continuing the receiver, and making the costs of the appeal costs in the action. A few more such decisions by Mr. Justice MANISTY would revolutionize the
