But suppose one of the executors and trustees is himself a solicitor, and the usual solicitor-trustee clause is omitted, or is, CURRENT TOPICS. under the peculiar circumstances of the property, likely to afford altogether inadequate remuneration? In this case the prudent THE DECREASE in the court work of the Vacation Judge which course is for the executors and trustees, before proving the will or we ventured to anticipate has not taken place, but, on the con- accepting office, to stipulate for a reasonable remuneration. They trary, the work appears to have increased as time goes on. Each are at liberty to do this with the beneficiaries without the week hitherto Mr. Justice CHABLES has been obliged to sit on intervention of the court (Re Sherwood, 3 Beav. 338), but it very Friday as well as on Wednesday, and on Friday last there were no seldom happens that all the beneficiaries are of age or ascertained; fewer than thirty motions in the paper which stood over from the and these bargains are regarded with great jealousy by the court previous Wednesday. (see Ayliffe v. Murray, 2 Atk. 58; Moore v. Frowde, 3 My. & Cr., at p. 48). The bargain must be shewn to have been entered into without pressure, and with a full knowledge on the part of the MR. RICHARD Quain's munificent bequest for the benefit of cestuis que trustent of their rights (In re Wyche, 11 Beav. 209, University College, London (with which he desires the name of 210); and the intervention of an independent solicitor to peruse his brother, the late Mr. Justice Quain, to be associated), recalls the agreement on behalf of the cestuis que trustent is generally the gift of £10,000 made by the will of that learned judge to necessary (see Stanes v. Parker, 9 Beav. 385). The better course is trustees for the improvement of legal education. We believe that for the executors and trustees to apply to the court to settle and this bequest was subject to a life interest which has lately fallen in. sanction their remuneration. It seems to have been assumed in the recent case that this application must necessarily be made before the executors and trustees have proved the will or acTHERE IS A CURIOUS BLUNDER in section 6 of the Margarine Act Browne v.

Probably the to take the matter into consideration, and to give proper remunecourts will adopt a liberal construction of the words “ preceding ration to that person who alone, by his own exertion, can produce section,” and will not construe them as meaning " the last preced- that benefit."

The allowance by the court to a solicitor-trustee will not be of the usual professional charges in WHEN A JUDGE of such wide experience as Mr. Justice trust business, but of a fixed remuneration (Bainbrigge v. Blair, KEKEWICH directs that the parcels” should be set out verbatim 8 Beav., at p. 595). in an order of the court vesting real property, we are bound to assume that there must have been some good reason for his decision. In the case of Re Adams (ante, p. 717), THE COURTS frequently have to decide, as between two innocent that learned judge appears to have made such an order. There parties, which of them ought to suffer for the delinquency of a may be special reasons which do not appear in the short report fraudulent trustee. In the case of Magnus v.

Shortly put, the facts were as follows :—Two trustees, lands“shall, without any surrender or admittance in respect A. and B., employed their co-trustee, C., to manage the investthereof, vest accordingly.” There was therefore no reason why ments of the trust money. Upon the pretext that he wished to the parcels should be set out for the purpose of surrender or sell out B. Stock and invest in N. E. Stock, he induced A. and B. admittance, and we confess we are puzzled to know why to sign a transfer to two persons who were really trustees for a the parcels were set out in the order. It would seem bank. C. then used the transfer to borrow money for his own that the court has no means of knowing what the prop- purposes from the bank by mortgage of the B.' Stock.

For a time he paid the dividends will and still remains subject to the trusts.” It is obvious that regularly to the beneficiary, and he reported the re-investment to A. such a solemn act as that of transferring by order of court land and B.
