towards us in the same field. Philpots then went and spoke to Smith. It might have been a minute and a half or two minutes after I spoke to Philpots that Smith came up. Smith said, "What are you after? You cannot take the sheep today you must apply to Mr. Hoare." Then he said he had seen Mr. Duppa a day or two before, and he had told him that he had seen some sheep on the farm on his way from Frimlingham. Then he says, "I went to see Mr. Duppa on the Monday, because I had received information that Goodhew had gone away that morning. I told Duppa that he had gone away and that one haystack was clean gone, and half another. I had seen that when I called there on my way from Frimlingham. You will bear in mind that three or four days before he walked across in that direction, and that it was then that he saw these sheep. It was suggested that he went round that way to see what there was to distrain upon. It is for you to form your impression on it, but it does not appear to me from this evidence that there is any reason to suppose that at that time he was considering the probability of the distress being made, but that in taking this walk he saw the sheep, and when on the Monday he had information that Goodhew had run away, taking that in connection with the fact that one haystack was gone altogether and another going, he went and told Mr. Duppa, and the result of his telling him that, was to let him know that there were sheep on the farm. Then he says that Mr. Duppa told him he was to go over and prevent anything being removed from the farm. This was on the Monday evening. 'I went with Kitney on the Tuesday morning. I was waiting until Smith came. I knew he was going to distrain." Then he says they went to prevent anything being taken away, but there was no need for that, as no one attempted to take anything away. Then he says when he went up to Philpots he had got twenty or thirty sheep together. "I heard what Philpots said just now. When Philpots first spoke to me I could see Smith. He was coming straight towards me. did not go on one side with Smith and talk. I went into the cottage with Smith. We did not go to talk about the lambs. Before I saw Philpots I did not know whose lambs they were. I did not think they were Goodhew's, but I could not say for certain. I saw the marks on the lambs: think it was the letter 'L,' but I could not say for certain. I went to the sale and bid. I was told to bid for the sheep. I was not to let them go at any price." Then he says he bid 35s. for the first pen and Mr. Minter bid 40s., and Mr. Minter said he should go on bidding that price for the rest. Then he says he bid £36 for the hay stick, and Mr. Minter bought it for £40, Then Kitney's evidence is that he works for Mr. Duppa; that he went with Bodiam to the farm in the middle part of the day on the 24th Sept.; that he was with him when he saw Philpots. This was about three. Philpots was gathering the sheep together. Bodiam said, You must not take them away unless Mr. Smith gives his consent." Philpots said, "Very well; I did not expect they would let me take them when they passed me." Smith was then coming across the meadow towards the house. He was pretty well a hundred yards off. He came up directly afterwards and spoke to Philpots. "I was left in possession for three days until Smith brought his own man." Then in cross-examination he says, "I did not intend to prevent Philpots and Clarke taking away the lambs. If they had gone on taking them, I should not have touched them." Then he says he saw Mr. Duppa before he went. "He spoke to me about some other sheep, not about these; they were on another part of the tarm. in Tommy Dodd's field. A man named Ratcliffe removed them some time in the morning. I do not know how many there were there. We should not have prevented any one taking away the sheep. We were watching to see who took them away, if any one should attempt to take them away." Then in re-examination he says, "I saw the notice about the £416 rent stuck up in the shed where everybody could see it." Then in further examination he said the shed was about ten yards from the cottage. Now, gentlemen, that is the evidence of the four persons who were present at the conversation in the field about two or three in the afternoon of the 24th Sept., and it is for you to say whether what then took place was such an interference with the intention of Philpots and Clarke to remove the lambs-whether the interference was such that it reasonably led them to think that they would not be allowed to remove the sheep without some contest, or whether on their being told that they must not remove the sheep they acquiesced in that view and acceded. That may or may not become an important question for your consideration; but perhaps that which will become more important for your consideration is whether at this time they had a right to remove the sheep. I do not mean whether Philpots and Clarke had a right to remove them, but whether the present plaintiff, whose servants Philpots and Clarke were, had at that time the right to remove the sheep or not. That will depend on the question whether at that time there had been a legal distress put in on the premises-a distress reaching and applicable to these sheep. Then there will be a further question for your consideration probably, viz., whether the removal of the sheep, even if Philpots and Clarke had not been interfered with, could have been completed in so short a space of time as suggested by Philpots and Clarke, because at the time we are now speaking of they were endeavouring to get the sheep together. Now in the first place I will make this remark. It is clear, for whatever it may be worth, that Smith did what he considered equivalent to distraining before the conversation took place between Bodiam and Philpots. You will remember Smith said that he had passed Philpots in the cab. He said he went to the farm in a cab on the 24th Sept., and passed Philpots on the road, that he came up to the opening and crossed to where the half-stack of hay was standing, and that he distrained on the ladder in the name of the goods and chattels on the farm. "There was not time for Philpots to have collected the lambs after I passed him on the road before I distrained on the ladder. Five or six minutes elapsed; it might perhaps have been seven. It would have taken half an hour for him to collect the lambs and drive them off. They were scattered all over the farm." Therefore you have it stated that five or six, or perhaps seven minutes elapsed between the time when he passed Philpots on the road and the time when he distrained the ladder. Whether those particular number of minutes are accurately stated or not, one thing must be clear from the evidence you have to consider, that before he went up to Bodiam and the other people in the field at that time he had done that act which he called distraining on all the goods, &c., on the farm. Having regard to the short space of time between passing Philpots in the cab and going round, and then passing across the field where the ladder was, and then going through that field to another field before he got up to Bodiam, I think one must come to the conclusion that he had done that act, if it was an act, that amounted to a distraint on the sheep before the sheep could possibly have been got off the farm. Now I will draw your attention to what Smith says on that part of the case. He says: "In consequence of instructions I went to distrain on the farm. I went in a cab." Then he said that which I have just drawn your attention to about going up to the ladder. Then he said it would have taken quite half an hour to have driven the lambs off the farm. There was not enough to satisfy the distress without the sheep. After I distrained on the ladder I did not see Philpots until I had been through two more fields. There were three fields between the entrance and where Philpots was. Bodiam and Philpots were talking together when I came up. I did not hear what they said. When I got up to them Bodiam said, This man has come for the sheep, and I've told him he cannot take them." I said, "That was perfectly right," or words to that effect. Then he says he received intimation the next day that the amount was greater than he was first instructed, viz., £416 instead of £300. Then he went on giving evidence on other matters, and then he went back again to the old subject. "On the 24th Sept. I did not see Bodiam before I saw Philpots. I went to the cottage and made an inventory immediately after I made the distress. I made the distress on a ladder in the name of all the goods and chattels on the farm. I should have done the same if it had been a farm of one thousand acres. I have not my book here in which I made the inventory. I did not put down the sheep until I got to Bodiam. He gave me the number. I did not count them. The man I left in possession was W. M. Hownslow." Then he went into the question of the levy fee. Then he says he thinks it was earlier than three o'clock in the afternoon, as he got home to dinner. That is not very material. At all events it was about three o'clock. Now, gentlemen, I come to two matters upon which it is my duty to tell you the law of the case and I shall ask you to accept that part of the law from me. If I lay down the law wrongfully, it will be open to Mr. Kingsford, against whom I lay it down, to raise the question in the proper form before the Court of Appeal; but I think it is desirable that I should lay down this law in plain and distinct terms. I shall direct you that the act done by Smith in distraining the ladder in the name of all the goods and chattels on the farm was a sufficient distress upon these sheep, unless those sheep had been previously removed from the farm or unless their removal had been improperly prevented before he so distrained. I shall direct you that according to law it was open to him to distrain upon all the goods and chattels, including the sheep, upon the farm in the way in which he did by distraining the ladder in the name of all the things on the farm. Therefore the question of Kingsford.-Would your Lordship permit me to interpose? I submit the proper question would be whether the action on the part of Smith was before Bodiam interfered. Lord Justice BAGGALLAY.-I am coming to that. The question would be whether this action of Smith was prior to the time when, but for Bodiam's interference, these sheep would have been removed from the farm. No, I have already drawn your attention to the time that elapsed. I will assume for the moment that there had been no interruption whatever on the part of Bodiam in the way suggested. You have heard the evidence on both sides with regard to the time when these transactions took place; the passing of the cab, the time which elapsed between the passing of the cab to the time when the distress was made, and the time occupied by Philpots in getting from the spot where the cab passed him down to where he found the sheep. The interference must have been such as to prevent his getting the sheep away before the distress was made. Philpots had not only to reach the farm but to collect the sheep together from the three or four fields and get them off the farm, either on to the adjoining farm or on the high road, or some place off the farm. It would be for you, having regard to the statement that this was a sufficient distress at the time the ladder was seized, to consider whether at the time the ladder was seized the sheep were remaining upon the farm and remained there because there because there had been an interruption by Bodiam which prevented their being removed. I do not know if I make myself intelligible to you; but that appears to me to be the question you have to consider. I pass on now to the next question, which is, whether this was a legal sale afterwards. Mr. Kingsford has contended that, assuming there has been such a seizure as I have named, that is a seizure or distress extending to the sheep as well as all the other goods and chattels on the farm, it was not a legal seizure, and he takes the objection that there was no sufficient notice to satisfy the terms of the Act of Parliament. As Mr. Kingsford has very properly pointed out to you, no notice is required so far as regards the distress. The distress may be a perfectly good distress, and yet the sale may not be a legal sale, because the Act of Parliament requires a certain notice to be given. Now, the Act of Parliament is an old Act passed in the reign of William and Mary, and it provides "that where any goods or chattels shall be distrained for any rent reserved and due upon any demise, lease, or contract whatsoever, and the tenant or owner of the goods so distrained shall not within five days next after such distress taken have notice thereof left at the chief mansion-house or other most notorions place on the premises charged with the rent distrained." Therefore such a notice is required to be left at the chief mansion-house or other most notorious place on the premises. Now, here again another point arises which it is for me to direct you upon; and here again, subject of course to the correction of the Court of Appeal if my direction is wrong, I think it my duty to tell you that the notice that was affixed to the shed, a stated by the witness who gave the direction, and the other witness who saw it there, was sufficient notice within the Act of Parliament. Of course if I am wrong in that direction, it will be open to Mr. Kingsford or someone else to set me right. It seems to me it is my duty to tell you-assuming this to be a good distress in the first instance -that there was a sufficient notice to satisfy the Act of Parliament to authorise the subsequent sale. That brings me to the next question raised by Mr. Kingsford, which is this, that this was a excessive distress, or, in other words, that having regard to the rent which was due, a larger quantity of goods and chattels were seised than was neces sary to satisfy it. Now having directed you that in my opinion the second notice given was a su ficient notice, that really appears to me almost to dispose of this question, because according to the second notice the distress was for £416 for rent which was due. What the law requires is that s distress shall be to an extent according to the fair value of the property, and having regard to the expenses incurred in relation to the sale of such property as is sufficient to meet the purposes for which the distress is made. Now, in this case, you have the fact that the property distrained sold for £495 5s., but you also have this fact that the property so sold was made up of 180 sheep which were sold at 40s, each, but Mr. Minter, who was the witness called on behalf of the plaintiff, tells you that those sheep, though b bought them at 40s. each for the plaintiff, were not in his opinion worth 30s. each. Therefore, so far as regards those sheep, they actually produced an amount to the extent of 108. each for 180, that being £90 more than they would be reasonably more thar ༈ 1 3 MR.

Now, the amount of the rent being sive. Now, it has been said by Mr. Kingsford, £416, if you deduct the excess of price realised by and it was his duty to say it, that the amount of the sale beyond what was considered the value of commission is very large in proportion to the the property by the plaintiff's witnesses, you bring amount of work done, but that must always be the amount of the goods seized to an amount very open to the observation that payment by commisnearly the same as the amount of the rent due, sion must necessarily be an unequal mode of in fact you would reduce it if you take the figure payment. If property is sold of a comparatively given by Mr. Minter, viz., £90 from the £360, large or small amount, the rate of commission is one-fourth of the whole value. If you take £90 the same, and when work is done and is payable off the actual amount, you would then bring it by commission it is not usual to make a distinction down to £405, which is less than the amount of except as far as regards sales by auction where, the rent which was due. I omit for the present when you get to a certain sum (which does not the question whether the charges were excessive. apply to this case), it is customary to reduce That question I shall deal with presently. There- the amount of commission. No doubt special fore it appears to me accepting my direction that arrangements are sometimes made, but as a general the notice served on the 26th Sept. was a suffi- rule a lower per centage is paid after a certain cient notice, one would feel a difficulty in arriving amount is reached. However, it appears from at the conclusion that this was an excessive the evidence on both sides here that there does distress, and that more goods were seized than not appear to be any universal rule, because you ought to have been seized. But that does not find all the witnesses on the part of the plaintiff relieve the defendant from the remaining charge differing amongst themselves, but all the witnesses that Mr. Kingsford makes against him, viz., that for the plaintiff seem to think that the levy fee is charges have been made of an excessive character too high. But as I have already observed all the as regards the expenses of the sale. Assuming witnesses for the defendant say the levy fee is the amount of rent to be correct, which never that which is usual. Gentlemen, there is no law seems to have been disputed, and assuming the on this subject; there is a scale with regard to charges made for selling to be right, there is a sales under certain distresses, and which if not balance of three guineas to which the plaintiff under the Act of Parliament are under rules made certainly would be entitled, that being the balance in pursuance of the Act of Parliament, but I left over after deducting the amount of rent and think that is limited to distresses under £20. the expenses. Now, the question is whether the There is no law and no rule made pursuant to law plaintiff is not entitled to something more. What affecting such a matter as we have to deal with is said is this-that these charges, amounting here. Therefore it is a question for your conaltogether to something like £70 or £80 for the sideration whether, having regard to all the cirsale of this property, which produced £495, were cumstances of this case, you think the charges excessive charges.

They appear to circumstances of the case, you consider the have been paid out of the produce of the sale by charges made in this case are excessive. Now, the auctioneer. On the part of the plaintiff gentlemen, those are the questions which you three witnesses have been called, Mr. Minter, have to consider in this case. One depends on who acted on behalf of the plaintiff at the sale, the first part of Mr. Kingsford's argument, viz., and the other two gentlemen, Mr. Worsfold, of that but for the interference of Bodiam and Dover, and Mr. Bailey, of Ashford, whom I Kitney with him these sheep would have been suppose we may consider perfectly independent removed from the farm before Smith distrained, witnesses, as they do not appear to be mixed as I directed you, upon the ladder, in the name of up with the transaction.

Then the two independent. If on the other hand you are of opinion that witnesses were Mr. Day, the auctioneer and the evidence does not satisfy you that the sheep appraiser, residing at Maidstone, and a Mr. Smith would have been removed before the distress but of Gravesend, who fills at the present time a sort for the interference of Bodiam, then it will be for of official position as representing the sheriff of you to consider the other points which I have Kent. Now I think I can tell you, without going drawn you attention to, which resolve themselves into it in detail, what the effect of their evidence into this, whether there has been an excessive is. The actual charge for the levy fee is £20 16s., charge as regards the expenses connected with the 5 per cent. upon the amount. Mr. Minter thinks distress. If you think there has been that excess, five guineas would be sufficient; Mr. Bailey also I leave it to you to measure the amount of that thinks five guineas would be sufficient, and Mr. excess; and then, so far as appears to me at Worsfold, from Dover, thinks that 24 per cent. present, the plaintiff would be entitled to your should be the amount. Five guineas would be verdict for that in addition to the three guineas very little more than 1 per cent.

On the other hand there were five wit-hand you are of opinion that the charges are not nesses called-three of whom, as I have already observed, took part in the transaction-and they all say that 5 per cent., according to their experience as persons carrying on business of this kind, is the universal charge.

Then we come to the auctioneer's commission on the sale: Mr. Minter and Mr. Worsfold, two of the plaintiff's witnesses, think 24 per cent. would be the proper charge. They spoke rather in general terms, and they said that 2 per cent. is the usual charge for the sale of live farming stock and that 5 per cent. is the usual charge for the ale of dead farming stock.

THE sittings of the South Staffordshire Stipendiary Magistrate's Courts were resumed on Monday.

ATTER, solicitor, has sent in his resignation as a co-operative governor of the Stamford Endowed Schools, owing to engagements on the day of meeting. MR. CHARLES CYDWELYN ELLIS, who has been adopted as one of the Conservative candidates for Penryn and Falmouth (says the Western Morning News), is the son of a large manufacturer in North Wales, and was born in 1837 near Rutlin, in Denbighshire. After completing his education at one of the grammar schools in North Wales, Mr. Ellis was articled to a firm of solicitors there, and when about twenty he removed to London to finish his articles. He then read with a pleader, and afterwards with a conveyancer, to complete his legal education, and in 1858 was admitted a solicitor, and shortly afterwards became junior partner of a firm of solicitors in the metropolis, where he has an uncle and brother, who are physicians of some celebrity. Since then Mr. Ellis has been in constant and large practice in London. Some years ago he dissolved partnership with the firm he originally ioined, and established the firm of Ellis, Munday, and Co., in St. Swithin's-lane, City, of which he is the head. His practice has been almost purely of a mercantile character, and he has a large connection with shipowners. Mr. Ellis has also done a considerable amount of legal business for the Conservative party in the City, having been appointed honorary solicitor to the Conservative Registration Association, of which Mr. J. E. Gorst, M.P., was the head. This has naturally given him a considerable political connection. He is a member of the Conservative Junior Carlton and City Carlton Clubs, and has been for many years on the council of the City of London Conservative Association. He is also a Freemason, and a member of various learned and other societies. Mr. Ellis's private residence in London is in the Albany, Piccadilly. He has also a shooting lodge and moor called Lockhead, near Ardrishaig, Argyllshire. A CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.-There seems to be no conflict of authority in these two cases at all. The action before Serjeant Wheeler was for an excess of fare, but as the fare to Paddington and the fare to West Drayton were identical, there could be no excess to recover. In the other case the defendant must have been summoned for riding without a ticket, a very different matter from the County Court proceeding, and as the ticket only entitled the holder to travel to Dalston he was clearly wrong in travelling further without a ticket. S. BILLS OF SALE ACT 1878.-I shall be glad to have the opinions of your readers upon a point of a most important character, which arises upon the construction of the Bills of Sale Act 1878, and which I do not think has as yet been discussed in your columns. The third section of the Act says, this Act shall apply to every bill of sale executed after the 1st Jan. 1879; and the 8th section says that every bill of sale to which this Act shall applies shall be duly attested and shall be registered in the manner provided by the Act. A client of mine had given an unregistered bill of sale to a money lender, the execution of it being merely attested by an office boy. Default having been made in payment the holder of the bill of sale took possession of my client's goods, whereupon I paid him the amount under protest, and, treating the seizure as illegal, brought an action for damages. Upon the hearing before the County Court judge I contended that the very essence of the Act of 1878 was that every bill of sale should be attested by a solicitor, and the contents of it explained to the mortgagor in the manner specified in the Act, its very object and policy being that needy borrowers should be protected from the designs of extortionate usurers, who unfortunately too often induced them to sign documents of the contents and effect of which they were entirely ignorant. The County Court judge held that upon the construction of the Act it was necessary that every bill of sale to be good, even as between the parties themselves, should be attested by a solicitor and the other requirements of the Act strictly complied with. This decision, which the same judge has followed in another case of a similar character, has given rise to much comment in the district, and it is certainly most desirable that a statute, upon the construction of which the validity of thousands of bills of sale must necessarily depend, should be clearly understood. The 3rd section of the Act says most distinctly that its provisions shall apply to every bill of sale, but it is certainly open to argument whether this sweeping enactment is not controlled or modified by the subsequent sections. I should be much obliged to any of your correspondents who will favour me through your valuable paper with their views upon the subject. A COUNTRY SOLICITOR. A DAY IN THE COUNTRY.-THE LONDON COTTAGE MISSION. Your readers can well imagine the boon a day in the country is for poor children who live in the crowded streets of East London, and, as many of them have assisted the London Cottage Mission in giving for seventeen weeks during the winter Irish stew dinners to poor children, we are hopeful that, through your valuable columns, they will assist us in providing a trip for the children, who, despite the wet weather, are looking forward with the greatest anxiety for this unspeakable pleasure. smallest gift will be thankfully received by Miss P. Napton, 304, Burdett-road, Limehouse, E., WALTER AUSTIN. or by 14, Finsbury-circus, E.C., Aug. 17, 1879. The HORSE AND MARE-NEGLIGENCE-DAMAGES FOR. Can you or any of your readers assist me in finding a case reported in the LAW TIMES two or three vears ago of damages being recovered against the owner of an entire horse by the owner of a mare which was served by the horse; but owing to improper management the male part entered the rectum of the mare and caused her death. I believe the case was tried at the Reading County Court. I have searched through several numbers of the LAW TIMES, but cannot find it. If the date of the number of the LAW TIMES can be given me I shall be much obliged. E. GRIFFITHS. LEGAL OBITUARY. NOTE.-This department of the LAW TIMES, is contributed by EDWARD WALFORD, M.A., and late scholar of Balliol College, Oxford, and Fellow of the Genealogical and Historical Society of Great Britain; and, as it is desired to make it as perfect a record as possible, the families and friends of deceased members of the Profession will oblige by forwarding to the LAW TIMES Office any dates and materials required for a biographical notice. C. T. LUCK, ESQ. THE late Charles Thomas Luck, Esq., barrister. at-law, of Chancery-lane, London, who died on the 31st ult., in the forty-fourth year of his age, was the eldest son of the late Rev. Charles Luck, of East Barnet, Hertfordshire, and was born in the year 1835. He was educated at Eton, where he was a schoolfellow of the present Earl of Belmore; he afterwards entered Exeter College, Oxford, where he graduated B A. in 1861, and proceeded He was called to the bar by M.A. in due course. the Honourable Society of Lincoln's-inn in Hilary Term 1864, and had practised for many years as an equity draftsman and conveyancer. W. H. ASHURST, ESQ. THE late William Henry Ashurst, Esq., solicitor, who died on the 14th ult., at his residence in Prince of Wales's-terrace, Kensington, in the sixtieth year of his age, was the son of the late William Henry Ashurst, Esq., solicitor, of Old Jewry, London, who, besides being the founder of an eminent firm of city solicitors, was well known in connection with many great public movements in his time, and especially for the very prominent part he took in connection with the first establishment of cheap postage. The deceased gentleman was born in the year 1819, and was admitted a solicitor in Hilary Term 1843. He at once went into partnership with his father, which continued till the death of the latter in 1855, shortly before which period the firm had been joined by Mr. John Morris. The business was afterwards carried on for some time by Messrs. Ashurst and Morris. Mr. Ashurst practised as a commissioner in the courts of Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer, and he was also a commissioner for taking oaths in the Court of Chancery, &c. In 1862, however, on the death of Mr. Peacock, the important post of Solicitor to the Post-office was bestowed upon Mr. Ashurst, who at once retired from ordinary professional life, and devoted himself with singular earnestness to the duties of his new office, which he held until the day of his death. Mr. Ashurst was a great friend of Garibaldi, Mazzini, and foreigners of that stamp. Among other things he was an active member of the British and Continental Federation for the Sup pression of State-Regulated Vice; and his em nent social qualities endeared him to a very large number of friends. LEGAL officials in Switzerland are far from highly paid, and according to a letter relative to the administration of the country, "Cantonal judges and public prosecutors are content with some £200 (per annum). Many do not receive nearly so much. The salary of the Chief Justice of Lucerne is £124; of the inferior judges, £100 of the public prosecutor, £120. The pay of the first judge of assize in Canton Glarus is nine franes (7s. 6d.) a day when he is on circuit in the valleys, and ten francs (88. 4d.) when he is among the mountains, and the landamman of Schwyz is "passing rich" on £24 a year.

COSTS.-I filed a petition for a client, but the proceedings fell through, in consequence of the refusal of the creditors to pass any resolution, and I am therefore compelled to resort to the debtor personally for payment of my costs. Had the costs been taxed I should only have been entitled to be paid on the threefifths scale. Can I legally charge my client the full costs, or am I bound by the scale? Any cases will oblige. G. F. [Un taxation you would, we understand, be allowed full charges.-ED. SOL.'S DEPT.] 53. HIGHWAY DIVERSION.-with reference to sect. 91 of 5 & 6 Will. 4, c. 50, is it strictly necessary that the certificates of completion of the new road should be enrolled at the quarter sessions next after the order for the diversion has been made; or can it be enrolled at any subsequent session? If the words of the Act are to be strictly complied with, it hardly allows time for the making of the new road. G. L. 54. IRISH SOLICITORS PRACTISING IN ENGLAND.-I shall feel obliged if you can inform me under what conditions an Irish solicitor is admitted to practise in Eng. land. Must he go through the entire routine again, or is he allowed his preliminary or sessional examinations, or any portion of his term of articles, not being a graduate of a university. W. FRAZER. The usual service under articles, &c., must be again gone through; but, under sect. 2 of the English Solicitors' Act 1860, upon taking certain degrees at the Dublin University, or the Queen's University in Ireland, the necessary term of service is only three years. See also sect. 13 of the English Solicitors' Act 1877, as to term of service reduced to four years.-ED. SOL.'s DEPT.] THE GAZETTES. Professional Partnerships Dissolbed. Gazette, Aug. 5.
