tion for the establishment of a district registry in Manchester. Your committee therefore took the earliest opportunity of placing themselves in communication with Mr. Goschen, which resulted in his granting an interview to a deputation of your committee, consisting of your president, and Messrs. Cobbet and Baker. At this interview Mr. William Milbourne James, the Vice-Chancellor, and Mr. H. Wyndham West, the Attorney-General of the duchy were present, and detailed statements were made as to the probable expense of the Manchester registry, the probable amount of business which would be done in it, and the amount of fees which might be expected to arise therefrom. Mr. Goschen listened. with interest and attention, and the deputation left him with the impression that their application would be favourably entertained. On the breaking up of the Russell Cabinet, the Earl of Devon, who had been appointed Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, opened a communication with your committee through Mr. W. M. James, the Vice-Chancellor, and ultimately asked for written statements similar to those which had been made by word of mouth to Mr. Goschen. These statements were accordingly prepared and forwarded to him. Your committee having recently been informed that the Chancellor of the duchy had convinced himself of the reasonableness and propriety of the application of your association, and that he had had draft bill prepared to introduce into Parliament in the coming session, have applied to him for a copy thereof, which has been. forwarded to them; but they regret to say that it is by no means satisfactory, and they recommend their successors in office to take an early opportunity of seeking an interview with the Chancellor for the purpose of pointing out the shortcomings of the proposed Bill, and of urging the introduction of such clauses as are nesessary for making it efficient for carrying out the scheme suggested by your association.

"Additional Judges.-Your committee have been in communication with the Liverpool Law Society on this subject, and a joint deputation from them and your association had an interview with the Earl of Derby in the month of October last, in the course of which they pointed out to his Lordship the inadequacy of the present staff of judges under the existing arrangements to meet the legal requirements of the country. In compliance with his Lordship's request, the two associations subsequently reduced: into writing and forwarded to him the substance of what passed at: this interview..

"Preliminary Examinations of Articled Clerks.These examinations have continued to be held in Manchester during the past year under the superintendence of members of the Association.

"The claims of the year have been exceptionally heavy. Twenty-five deaths have occurred, whereby thirty-nine policies, insuring with bonuses 49.155, have become claims. Of these policies, twenty five, insuring 24,749, were entitled to profits; and the reversionary bonuses payable therewith amount to 50167. 10s. There has been received from other offices under re-assurance policies the sum of 65591. 58., reducing the net payments for claims to 42,5967. "The directors have the satisfaction of stating that they have at length completed the sale of the property in Chancery-lane, for the sum of 17,000., being nearly 80007. in excess of the cost. Allowing for expenses, &c., the sum of 7621. 138. 8d. appears in the year's account as profit. There has also been realised in the course of the year a profit of 47051. 38. 1d. by the falling in of a reversion; making together an extra profit on the year's transactions of 12,3261. 168. 9d. It may be reinembered that there was a similar item of 19,819. 148. 6d. in the account: for 1865.

"The total income of the year is thus raised to: 117,466. 8s. 3d.; and the total outgoings have been, 70,1197. 2s. 4d. The difference, 47,347. 5s. 11d has been added to the assurance fund, which amounted on 31st Dec. to 484,6507. 16s. 7d. The increase of this fund during the last two years, i. e. since the date of the last division of profits, has been no less than 109,6847. 11s.

The directors, having had the freehold house, No. 17, Lincoln's-inn-fields, adjoining the society's house, offered to them for sale, thought it would be advantageous to the society to purchase it, with a view to a future enlargement of the office; and purchased the same accordingly for 55001.

SOCIETY.

The following Report of the Directors of this society has been issued:

"The directors, in presenting to the proprietors their report for the twenty-second year of the society's existence, have to state that the progress made therein has been satisfactory and encouraging. "The number of new policies issued in the year was 193, insuring 325,810.; and the premiums received thereon amounted to 10 1597. 16s. 9d. It will be seen that the average amount of the new policies continues to increase, being last year no less

than 16881.

The total premium income of the year was 79,033l. 38 Id.; and the number of policies in force on 31st Dec. was 1946, insuring 2,508,4951.

"The interest on loans and other investments amounted to 24,0417. 48 9d., being at the rate of 51. 3s. 10 per cent. on the amount of the funds (excluding reversions) at the beginning of the year. The profitable investment of the funds of the society is a subject to which the directors give their consent and earnest attention; and they think it a matter of congratulation that they have for a number of years been able to lend upon suitable securities the surplus income of the society, promptly, as it has been from time to time received. There can be no doubt that to this cause is greatly due tlie gratifying amount of the bonuses declared.

The Vice-Chancellor had before him on Thursday morning a motion in the matter of Overend, Gurney, and Co, that he should rehear the case in which it was sought to remove the names of certain shareholders (amongst them Mr. Oakes) from the list of contributories, on the ground of false representations. His Honour. in that case, decided that whatever remedy, the shareholders might have as against the direotors, their liability to the creditors was unaffected. He would not, therefore, order their names to be removed from the list. The rehearing was now asked for on the ground that new facts had been discovered by the applicants. The ViceChancellor held that this was not made out, and dismissed the motion (which he said was wholly unjustifiable) with costs.

They suggested that the proper course would be to refer the question of damages to some person to be agreed on.-The VICE-CHANCELLOR said he would be very happy to refer the question to some person to be agreed on to assess the damages, but as the parties could not agree he could only make the usual decree in a case of this kind. There must be a perpetual injunction, and a reference to chambers to ascertain the

damages. The defendant must pay the costs of the hearing.

Re THE IMPERIAL CREDIT ASSOCIATION-MARINO'S CASE. -Druce, Q. C. (A. G. Marten with him) moved that the name of a Mr. Marino might be taken off the list of contributories, the company being in process of winding-up. | The short facts are, that Messis. Ionides and Co. received. instructions by letter to purchase shares in the company from a firm at Smyrna Mr. Marino, on the 2nd May, agreed to sell fifty shares; and on the 4th signed a transfer, which on the 7th was lodged with the association for registration. The purchase-money was paid; and in the books of the company the amount was debited to the firm at Smyrna. On the 11th the company stopped payment; and on the following day a petition was presented for winding it up. Meetings of the directors were held on the 10th and 11th May, but the transfer so lodged on the 7th remained unregistered at the time of the stoppage, and accordingly Mr. Marino was placed upon the list of contributories - Giffard, Q. C. and Lindley for the official liquidator. The VICE-CHANCELLOR held that Mr. Marino's name must be removed from the list. The sole question was, whether the directors ought to have registered the transfer before the 11th May. The evidence as to the acceptance of the transfer of the shares to the firm at Smyrna was complete. The company had everything before them on the 10th that they were bound to know, and it was their duty to have registered the transfer on that day

The issues were: first, whether the access of light or air which for twenty years and upwards prior to the filling of the bill came to the plaintiff's house before the clearance for building purposes of the ground now being built upon by the defendant, had been, or would be, so obstructed or interfered with by the buildings which he had erected or intended to erect, as materially to interfere with the amount of light and air theretofore enjoyed by the plaintiff; secondly, whether the access of light or air which for twenty years and upwards prior to the filling of the bill came to the plaintiff's house and premises before the clearance for building purposes of the ground now being built upon by the defendant, had been or would be so obstructed or interfered with by the buildings which he had erected or intended to erect, as materially to interfere with the use and enjoyment by the plaintiffs of the said house and premises.-Core, QC. and For Bristore appeared for the plaintiffs; Kg, Q.

Re OVEREND, GURNEY, AND COMPANY (LIMITED).—The

Attorney-General and Swanston moved that, notwithstanding

the V. C's order refusing the motion of Messrs. Oakes and Peek, their names might be removed from the list of shareholders. The ground of the application was, that facts which had a material bearing on the case of the shareholders, and which were not known to them before the delivery of the V.C.'s judgment, had since been discovered by them.-Roxburgh, Q. C. for the official liquidator. The VICE-CHANCELLOR directed the motion to stand over till the next seal, as time was required to answer certain affidavits. Everything in chambers must remain in statu quo, as if the motion had not been made, and therefore the summons as to distributing the money would be proceeded with.

DEERE V. THE CLARENCE HOTEL (DOVER) COMPANY (LIMITED).-Glasse, Q C. and Gill moved for an injunction to restrain an action brought by Lewis Glenton, who had contracted to construct the hotel, against the plaintiff, who had contracted to furnish the hotel, and was also the holder of 480 shares, 450 of them being affected by certain terms im his contract, and thirty other shares. Glenton had had a mortgage on the hotel, which he gave up, taking two bills instead, upon which he proceeded at law and obtained jud ment. He then brought an action against the plaintiff as a shareholder, which was equitably pleaded to, and this bill was filed to restrain. - Cotton, QC. and W. Barber for Mr. Glenton; Swanston for the company. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said that, as to the 450 shares, he thought there was prima facie evidence that Glenton had notice that the plaintiff was not an ordinary shareholder sufficient to call upon the court to stay the proceedings at law. Judgment must be given in the action, to be dealt with as the court should direct, and not to be registered without leave of the court. The thirty shares stood upon a different footing, and could only be protected upon the terms of bringing into court within a month the 2107. which was due in respect of them.

CHANCELLOR made a decree as against the defendant Wills, who was the vendor, but dismissed the bill without costs as against some of the incumbrancers who claimed a lien.

Wednesday, March 6. LANFRANCHI v. MACKENZIE.-The plaintiffs were occupiers of rooms on the ground and first floor of No. 5, Crown-court, Old Broad-street, where they carried on business as silk merchants; the defendants were solicitors, and the owners of No 1, Crown-court, that house being on the north side of the court, while the plaintiff's house was situate on the west side. In June last the defendants commenced pulling down their house, and in Febrnary last had proceeded as high as the second floor of a new house in its place, when the plaintiffs filed a bill to restrain the interference with their light, which they alleged was diminished in quantity and deteriorated in quality by the obstruction caused by the new erection. They obtained an interim order for an injunction; but

when the case came on upon motion for injunction it was directed to stand over till it was ready to come on upon motion for decree, and the defendants had in the meantime completed their building.-Glasse, Q C. and Hemings for the plaintiffs; Cotton, Q. C., Wickens, and Wa'kin Williams (of the Common Law Bar) for the defendants.— The VICE-CHANCELLOR came to the conclusion that the plaintiffs had failed to establish either such a case as would entitle them to an injunction of any kind if their rooms had been used for ordinary purposes, as a shop, countinghouse, &c, or such a case as would entitle them to an injunction in consequence of their rooms having been used for an extraordinary purpose, viz, that of examining

THE THIRD EDITION (with a

Preface) of Mr. COX'S Letter to Lord Derby, containing SUGGESTIONS for a CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM BILL It is thus recommended by the Elinburgh Review for January: "It would be an idle and an endless task to criticise the innumerable projects of Reform to which the press has given birth in the last few months-all, probably, sufficiently remote from the result at which Parliament will at last arrive. But one of them appears to us sufficiently remarkable and instructive to deserve notice in this place. We allude to a Proposal for a Constitutional Reform Bill, addressed to Lord Derby by Mr. Edward Cox, the Recorder of Helston. This writer, whose intentions are Conservative as well as Liberal, advocates the extension of the borough franchise to the standard of the present municipal franchise, that is, household suffrage; and he would give the county franchise to leaseholders, copyholders, and tenants for life of 3 annual value, and to occupiers of houses or land of 201. His scheme is therefore very comprehensive, and it has the advantage of resting the franchise on a fixed and definite pinciple. The most important portion of his pamphlet is, horever, that in which he demonstrates from the official returns that has hold suffrage would add only twenty-three per cet. to the existing constituencies of 156 English and Welsh targhs In seventeen large towns the proportion would be muca larger, but, as these towns almost all return members of the most advanced Liberal opinions, with their present constituencies, they could do no more if those constituencies were extended. Mr. Cox calculates the whole addition to the borough constituencies of England and Wales, with household suffrage, at only 150,302."—Edinburgh Review.
