The It was the duty of the husband to obey the order of the court. [Reported by J. E. ALDOUS, Barrister-at-Law.] Re THE COMPANIES ACTS, 1862 TO 1890; Re THE NATIONAL STORES reserved to be dealt with by the judge, before whom an application on CASES OF LAST SITTINGS, High Court-Chancery Division. SITWELL v. WORRALL. Byrne, J. 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 28th Feb.; 1st, 2nd, 14th March; 10th Aug. COPYHOLDS-MINES-SPECIAL CUSTOM-SELLING TO HINDRANCE OF THE LORD'S SALES. The plaintiff in this case, Sir George Sitwell, was lord of the manor of Eckington in Derbyshire, the defendants were copyhold tenants of the manor, and the action was for an injunction to restrain the defendants from working coal under their holdings, and selling it, without the license of the lord. The defendants claimed to have the right to do this under a special custom of the manor under which the tenants could get coal under their lands and sell it so long as the sale thereof did not hinder any sale by the lord of his own coal. Previously to 1340 the manor had been forfeited to the Crown, and in that year it was granted to Lord Darcy. Upon the attainder of William Lord Darcy it came again to the Crown in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, who granted it for a term of years to Lord Hunsdon, and it continued in the Carey family until the execution of Charles I. Upon the Restoration it came again to the Crown, by whom it was granted to various persons for long terms of years, until the year 1804, when it was acquired by Sir Sitwell Sitwell, an ancestor of the plaintiff. The evidence for or against the alleged custom consisted of entries upon the Court Rolls (which dated from the reign of Edward III), of "mercies" accorded to and of fines put upon tenants for having gotten coal without license, of certain surrenders and admittances under which mines were reserved; also of depositions in an action in the Court of Exchequer in 1587, brought by the then lord against some of his tenants, and in particular of a presentment made by the jury at a Court Baron in 1685 of the customs of the manor, and of a Parliamentary survey made in 1649 by virtue of a commission grounded upon an Act of the Commons of July of that year for the sale of the honours, manors, and lands theretofore belonging to the late King, Queen, and Prince. This Act was found in Scobell's "Acts and Ordinances," p. 51. For about 100 years from 1587 there had been litigation between the lord or lady of the manor for the time being and the tenants, which involved the same questions as were in dispute in the present action. If any of these various actions or suits had terminated in a verdict or judgment, no record of any such could be found. The defendants had raised and sold about 3,000 tons of coal a year. The lord did not himself sell the coal of the manor, but leased it to lessees who worked it with an output of about 650,000 tons a year. Aug. 10.-BYRNE, J.-The evidence of reputation afforded by the documents referred to down to the end of the seventeenth century shews that, unless displaced by evidence of a later date, there was, and therefore is, a special custom of the manor whereby the tenant is entitled to get and sell the coal underlying his copyhold land, provided that the sale thereof does not hinder any sale by the lord of his own coal. As from the end of the seventeenth century the lords of the manor apparently acquiesced in the view that a special custom did exist, and did not insist on the necessity for a license, and were content to treat the old feud between lord and tenant as at an end. In the present century there is an abundant evidence of working, and I find no evidence to displace the prior evidence of the custom. The hindrance of the sale of the lord's coal means that if the lord is willing and able and ready to sell the coal, the copyholder must not supply coal so as to prevent the lord selling all he wants to sell. The present case is not an action by the lessees of the lord's coal. I am not satisfied that if the defendants were to cease selling coal, all or any substantial part of the sales now made by them would be effected by the lessees of the lord, and I think therefore that the defendants' acts are not "selling to the hindrance of the sales of the lord." Costs will be allowed on the higher scale.-COUNSEL, Cozens-Hardy, Q.C., Elton, Q.C., Eve, Q.C., and Kenyon Parker; Warmington, Q.C., Upjohn, Q.C., and MacSwinney.

[Reported by NEVILLE TEBBUTT, Barrister-at-Law.] This was a motion on behalf of the liquidator of the National Stores (Limited) that the Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poor for the Parish of Lambeth, their servants and agents, might be restrained from proceeding to levy a distress (a) upon the goods of the above-named company at 183, Lambeth-walk, Lambeth, in respect of the sum of £4 178. 6d., being the aggregate of two several sums of £2 169. 103d. and £2 Os. 7 d., representing respectively the second moiety of a poor rate at 18. 9d. in the pound made on the 16th of April last, and of a vestry rate at 1s. 3d. in the pound, also made on the 16th of April last; and (b) upon the goods of the above-named company at 151, Brook-street, Lambeth, in respect of the sum of £3 10s. 6d., being the aggregate of two several sums of £2 1s. 1d. and £1 9s. 44d., representing respectively the second moiety of a poor rate at 18. 9d. in the pound, and a vestry rate at 1s. 3d. in the pound made on the 16th of April. It appeared from the affidavits that by an order of Wright, J., dated the 17th of June last, the company was ordered to be wound up, and the Official Receiver in Companies Winding-up was appointed provisional liquidator. By an order made by Mr. Registrar Hope, also dated the 17th of June last, George White, of 14, Old Jewry-chambers, was appointed special manager of the business of the company until the appointment of a liquidator or until further order, with power to carry on the business of the company and to pay current wages and expenses. On the 4th of August, 1898, the statutory meetings of creditors and contributories of the company, which had been adjourned from the 14th of July, 1898, were held, and at such meetings, no other person being nominated, the official receiver became, and now is, the liquidator of the company. The business of the company was that of general stores, and was carried on amongst other places at 151, Brook-street and at 183, Lambeth-walk, both in the parish of Lambeth. On the 11th of August last, a summons was issued by Thomas Giles, one of the collectors for the time being duly appointed by the churchwardens and overseers of the poor of the parish of Lambeth, and addressed to "The National Stores (Limited), in liquidation, George White, special manager," requiring the attendance of the company to shew cause why two several amounts of £2 16s. 103d. and £2 0s. 7 d., assessed in respect of the premises 183, Lambeth-walk, being a "second moiety of poor rate made the 16th of April, 1898, for six months at 1s. 9d. in the pound," and a "second moiety of vestry rates made the 16th of April, 1898 (Lighting, General, and Sewers Rate), at 1s. 3d. in the pound for six months," should not be levied by distress."On the same date another summons was issued by Alfred Edmund Gent, one of the collectors for the time being duly appointed by the churchwardens and overseers for the poor of the parish of Lambeth, also addressed to "The National Stores (Limited), in liquidation, George White, special manager," requiring the attendance of the liquidator to shew cause why two several sums of £2 18. 1d. and £198. 44d. assessed in respect of the premises 151, Brook-street, being a "second moiety of poor rate made the 16th of April, 1898, for six months at 18. 9d. in the pound," and a "second moiety of vestry rates made the said 16th of April (Lighting, General, and Sewers Rate), at 1s. 3d. in the pound for six months," should not be levied by distress. The summonses came before certain of Her Majesty's justices of the peace for the county of London sitting at the Vestry Hall, Kennington-green, on Thursday, the 18th of August, and an order was made in respect of each of such summonses enforcing the payment of the several sums for rates by distress and sale of the company's goods and chattels at the premises 183, Lambeth-walk and 151, Brook-street. On the hearing of the summonses it was submitted on behalf of the liquidator that no proceedings could be commenced againgst a company in liquidation except by the leave of the court, and that no such leave had been applied for, and that therefore any such distress put in force against the estate or effects of the company would be void. Orders were, how ever, made for the enforcement of payment of the rates by distress and sale, but in order to give the liquidator time to take such steps to restrain such distress and sale as he might be advised the warrant of distress was ordered not to issue until after the 29th of August, 1898. By section 87 of the Companies Act, 1862, "When an order has been made for winding up a company under this Act no suit, action, or other proceeding shall be proceeded with or commenced against the company except with the leave of the court, and subject to such terms as the court may impose." In support of the motion it was submitted that, having regard to section 87 of the Act of 1862, the justices had no power to order the distress to be BANKRUPTCY-SCHEME-PROOF-INTEREST-BANKRUPTCY ACT, 1890 (53 & levied. Upon behalf of the churchwardens and overseers of the parish of Lambeth it was not disputed that it was very doubtful whether the dis tress was the proper method of enforcing the rates. Application ought, probably, to have been made to the court for leave. PHILLIMORE, J., said that there would be an injunction as asked by the notice of motion.

A This was an appeal by the assignees of a creditor against the decision of receiving order was made against the debtor early in 1890, and in June of that year he assigned all his property to a trustee for the benefit of his creditors to be administered as in bankruptcy. The usual preferential payments were to be first discharged and the remainder of the assets to be distributed rateably among the creditors according to the law of bankruptcy. The appellant proved for a debt and interest at a considerably higher rate than 5 per cent., and his claim for interest above 5 per cent. was rejected by the trustee in reliance upon the terms of section 23 of the Bankruptcy Act, 1890: Where a debt has been proved upon a debtor's estate under the principal Act, and such debt includes interest, or any pecuniary consideration in lieu of interest, such interest or consideration shall, for the purposes of dividend, be calculated at a rate not exceeding 5 per centum per annum without prejudice to the right of a creditor to receive out of the estate any higher rate of interest to which he may be entitled after all the debts proved in the estate have been paid in full." The appellant contended that the deed under which he proved having been executed in June, 1890, could not be affected by the above section, because the Bankruptcy Act of 1890 did not come into force until the 1st of January, 1891. WRIGHT, J., allowed the appeal, holding that in the absence of any express words to that intent he would not be justified in giving a retrospective effect to the section in question, and that the law of bankruptcy" according to which the scheme was to be administered meant the law in operation at the date of the making of the scheme.-COUNSEL, Herbert Reed, Q.C., and Frank Mellor; E.

OBITUARY. Sir JOHN HENRY FAWCETT, late Judge of the Supreme Court of the Levant, died in Jersey on the 22nd inst., at the age of sixty-seven. He was the son of Mr. John Fawcett, of Petterhill Bank, Carlisle, and was educated at Rugby and Trinity College, Cambridge. He was called to the bar at the Middle Temple in 1857, was made Judge of the Supreme Court of the Levant in 1875, and Chief Judge and Consul-General for Turkey in 1877. He was created a K.C.M.G. in 1887. He married Amelia, daughter of Mr. Evelyn Houghton, in 1874. The death is announced of Mr. WILLIAM WALDRON RAVENHILL, barrister-at-law. He was educated at Marlborough and University College, Oxford, where he took his degree in 1858. Having been called to the bar in 1862, he joined the Western Circuit, and was appointed Recorder of Andover in 1872. He had been revising barrister for the Petersfield, Andover, and Basingstoke divisions of Hants. APPOINTMENT. Mr. JOHN STANLEY, Q.C., of the Irish Bar, has been appointed a Judge of the High Court of Judicature at Calcutta in succession to Mr. Justice Trevelyan. GENERAL. It has been virtually decided to provide the Royal Courts of Justice with lifts at an early date for the accommodation of those having business at the offices and chambers situated on the upper floors of the building. It is understood that about four lifts will be erected for this purpose, of which two will be situated in the east block, and one each in the western and main blocks. An appeal case arising under the Agricultural Rates Act, 1896, came before the Alcester bench on the 22nd inst. Mr. Arthur L. Chance, of Great Alne-hall, Alcester, appealed against the poor rate assessment on the ground that the grass land to the extent of 65 acres, described in the assessment as park land, and assessed under that head at 2s. in the pound as not being agricultural land, should be assessed as agricultural land at the rate of 1s. in the pound. Mr. Chance stated that the land was used as agricultural land for profit, and not for pleasure in any way. After a long hearing the bench allowed the appeal. Upon taking his seat in court on Wednesday morning, Mr. Justice Phillimore said: I understand that of late years it has been considered that those who wish to have their marriages dissolved cannot be expected to wait until after the Long Vacation, and the duty of making the decrees absolute is imposed upon the Vacation Judge. I was not consulted about this, but, on the whole, I have come to the conclusion that it is my duty to register these decrees. But I cannot take this step without, as a Christian man, saying how sorry I am on social, moral, and religious grounds that these facilities should be given to persons to dissolve the marriages they have contracted. But that which the State, in its wisdom or unwisdom, has decreed must be carried out by the officers of the law, and as I neither make nor unmake marriages, except as a civil officer, for that purpose the decrees nisi must be made absolute. Decrees nisi were made absolute in nineteen cases. A section 2 was included in the exceptions. That section ran as follows: "No parent or other person shall be liable to any penalty under section 29 or section 31 of the Vaccination Act of 1867 if within four months from the birth of the child he satisfies two justices, or a stipendiary or metropolitan police magistrate, in petty sessions, that he conscientiously believes that vaccination would be prejudicial to the health of the child, and within seven days thereafter delivers to the vaccinating officer for the district a certificate by such justices or magistrate of such conscientious objection." To begin with, said his worship, referring to the opening words of the section, there was absolutely nothing to show who was the "other person " referred to-whether the guardian or acting guardian. In the second place, that was not a court of "petty sessions"; and, thirdly, the section contained no intimation or direction as to how the justices or police magistrates were to be "satisfied," whether by declaration or affidavit or oath or anything as far as he could see. No certificate or form of any kind accompanied the Act. Applicant.-Will your worship take my word? Mr. Curtis Bennett.-I do not know, I am sure, what I am to do. The Act of Parliament says I am to be satisfied you have a conscientious objection. I do not know whether you are simply to come here and say so and then go away, or what you are to do. You might never satisfy me. I do not understand the Act. I have seen you, and you have told me you have a conscientious objection. I do not know whether that is enough. To satisfy myself I might want to have the doctor and all sorts of people called. Applicant.-But the doctor could not tell you about my conscience. The magistrate.-It might be very material. What you had better do is to go to the Local Government Board and tell them what I have said, and point out the difficulties of their Act of Parliament. It evidently does not apply to metropolitan magistrates, because they do not sit in petty sessions; but if it does, it does not say how we are to be satisfied. Applicant, in withdrawing, apologised for troubling the court. Mr. Curtis Bennett.-I am glad you came; it has enabled me to examine the Act.

SERIES II.-THE DIETARY OF WELL-REGULATED FAMILIES. Dr. Tibbles' Vi-Cocoa has become a household word, and this wonderful Food-beverage has come to take an important place in the dietary of the best-regulated families. Dr. Tibbles' Vi-Cocoa is a natural food, and by its merits alone having been once fully and fairly placed before the public-it must become a national food, to the general advancement of British health and vigour. Tired men, whether suffering from physical or mental fatigue, delicate women, growing girls, and little children find this unique beverage of inestimable benefit. The nauseous drugs and disagreeable medicines associated with ill-health are, in Dr. Tibbles' Vi-Cocoa, replaced by something which is pleasant and nice, with a distinctive flavouring of its own which will appeal to the fastidious and over-nice palate of the invalid, and its soothing effect renders it an ideal "Pick-me-up." Dr. Tibbles' Vi-Cocoa, by taking the place of stimulants of an ardent nature, has made happy many a home which otherwise to-day would have been wretched, and the ultimate effects of which it is impossible to foresee. For breakfast, dinner, supper-indeed, at any hour of the twenty-four-Dr. Tibbles' V1-Cocoa will be found light and refreshing; it leads the way among all beverages, and nothing can equal it. Dr. Tibbles' Vi-Cocoa can be obtained from all Chemists, Grocers, and Stores, or from 60, 61, and 62, Bunhill-row, Write for NEW PROSPECTUS, containing full information and other important London, EC. alterations, to SECRETARY, 18, LINCOLN'S INN FIELDS, LONDON. As a test of its merit a dainty sample tin of Dr. Tibbles' Vi-Cocoa will be sent free on application to any address, if when writing (a postcard will do) the reader will name the SOLICITORS' JOURNAL. INCORPORATED LAW SOCIETY, CLASSES AND TUITION FOR ARTICLED CLERKS. TUTORS. J. CARTER HARRISON, 30, Bedford-row, W.C.-Equity, Conveyancing, Common Law, and Bankruptcy. LEONARD H. WEST, LL.D., 19, Southampton-buildings, Chancery-lane, W.C.-Criminal and Magisterial Law; Probate, Divorce, and Admiralty ; and Ecclesiastical Law. Stephen's Commentaries. CLASSES for Final Students are held at the Hall of the Society on four afternoons each week during the following periods: August to January; January to June. These periods afford five months' class preparation, and students are acvised to subscribe for a full course otherwise the work must necessarily be hurried. Students may join the classes either before or after the Intermediate Examination without subscribing to the course of Postal instruction, but it is recommended that they should avail themselves of both modes of instruction. Subscribers to either Class or Postal instruction have the opportunity of consulting the Tutors upon the work of the course in personal interview or by letter at any time. To those Clerks who are articled at a distance from large towns systematic instruction with advice and help is given, and a course of preparation through the post has been devised, and is found to be useful where personal tuition is impracticable. afforded by fortnightly papers, and embraces the following subjects: Equity, Conveyancing, Common Law, Bankruptcy, Criminal and Magisterial Law, Probate, Divorce, Admiralty, and Ecclesiastical Law. These papers both before and after the Intermediate Examinations are varied each year, so that students who may subscribe for more than one year's tuition receive additional assistance. These courses may be commenced at any time, but the Tutors recommend that the Intermediate course should be commenced at an early stage of the Articles, and the Final course soon after the Intermediate Examination has been passed. The results obtained have been satisfactory. Many pupils have obtained honours, and the percentage of passes is a high one, exceeding 85 per cent. of between three and four hundred pupils who last presented themselves for examination. It has happened on several occasions that all Class pupils have been successful, and the same has occurred in the case of subscribers to the Correspondence Courses. TERMS. FINAL. after previous Postal Instruction... Class instruction is also provided on the selected portions of Stephen's Commentaries and the subjects above named, and it is recommended that the Class Instruction, 5 months... classes should be joined after the expiration of a course of Postal instruction. Students can join the classes at any time, the fees being proportionate to the length of attendance, except that no fee shall be less than that for a three months' course. Rooms are provided where subscribers may study, and books are supplied without extra charge. Periodical test examinations are held by the Tutors. The Classes for Intermediate Students are held in the Hall of the Society on three afternoons in each week during the following periods: August to November; October to January; January to April; March to June. Subscribers may subscribe for successive classes. Books can be obtained from Messrs. Stevens & Sons, or other law lending library, for an annual subscription of a guinea and a-half to cover the course of work for the Final Examination, and Stephen's Commentaries can be supplied to either Class of Postal Subscribers, at an annual subscription of one guinea, on application to the Tutor, Dr. West. In the case of students who have not passed the Intermediate Examination the Postal instruction is by means of monthly papers, and deals with the selected portions of Stephen's Commentaries.
