"The permanent cases of this description are again divided into two classes-the one consisting of the families of those who have never been members; and the latter of those who, having once been members, had ceased to be so, possibly from inability to continue their subscription. A preference in the scale of allowance is shewn to the latter over those who have never subscribed at all.

"The cases now on the books of the Association, and receiving relief during the past year, are as follow:

"In conclusion, the directors regret to state that the number of new members admitted during the year has been only five,-a fact which proves how in adequately the advantages of the Association are appreciated by the Profession; and the directors must again appeal to the members at large to make the society and its objects more extensively known among their professional brethren.

SIR,-At different periods you have noticed, and I
should hope not without benefit to the Profession, 980.
points deserving of censure in the conduct of judges
and of counsel. Allow me to call your attention to a
grievance affecting counsel, and arising from the 981.
course pursued by another branch of the Profession.
I allude to the system of taking credit for fees sup-
posed to be paid in cash by solicitors. We all know
that the fees of counsel are, like the fees of physi-
cians, in a sense honorary, and not recoverable in the
usual course of law. They are therefore supposed to
be paid in cash, or rather beforehand, previously to
the business being done. But you cannot be ignorant
that, of late years, a practice has sprung up of post-
poning the payment, and this not for a short period,
which in some cases may be almost necessary, but
for one, two, three, or more years. Of course I do
not mean to say that in all or even the majority of
cases there is this extended system of credit. Cer-
tainly not. In certain departments there may be no
credit, and in others not such an extended credit.
But the whole system is an evil, and a growing and
increasing evil, and threatening to materially interfere
with the independence of the Bar. Soon, I fear, the
point will be, not who will do the business best, but
who will give the most credit. My attention has been
particularly called to the subject by a citation in the
last number of Beavan's Rep. vol. 9, p. 116, of a
well-known portion to the preface to Davis's Rep. in
which the writer says, "The worthy counsellor may
not demand it (his fee) without doing wrong to his
reputation," &c. Possibly the counsel of those days
were more indifferent to money than the counsel of
the present, though, if the public of each period were
to be the judges, it would doubtless be found to be
the common opinion that this branch of the law took
snfficient care to secure themselves. At all events,
the demand mentioned in the preface must refer to
transactions between counsel and the actual client,
and not between counsel and the solicitor of the client;
for to suppose that the solicitor might receive the fee
from the client and retain it, would be absurd-indeed,

we can hardly suppose that the Courts would not
furnish some means of redress for such conduct.
I have heard of counsel feeling a delicacy in asking
for the fees,-I suppose from some such impression
floating in their minds as is mentioned in the cited
preface. Such does not appear to have been the view
of the late Mr. Shepherd, the conveyancer of Lin-
coln's-inn. In one of his codicils in his own hand-
writing, proved at Doctors' Commons in May 1846,
he bequeaths to a barrister 500l. to be paid out of
certain fees owing to Mr. Shepherd by a firm with
which the legatee was connected by blood, and which
fees had been owing a long time without interest
being paid, and he directs his executors to use all
dispatch. I give no opinion as to the propriety of
means for recovering the balance with all possible
the course adopted by Mr. Shepherd, but it is
very much to be regretted that a respectable house
should, by adopting the system complained of in this
letter, have laid themselves open to such an attack.

LAW TIMES.

SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1847.

THE ELECTIONS.

EVERY Lawyer will regret that the friends of Mr. FRESHFIELD have not succeeded in returning him to Parliament. The result can occasion no disappointment, for success could scarcely have been hoped for; but we lament that there has not been found for the promised representative of the Profession some seat which, if less distinguished than that sought, would have been more secure. Perhaps it may not yet be too late. If a chance be known to any reader, let him communicate it forthwith. Such a man is not to be lightly lost to us.

The number of Lawyer Candidates at this Election was immense. How many of them will succeed in their ambitious aim is another question. But the returns already shew a considerable addition to the ranks of the Lawyers in the new Parliament, and when completed, an entire list shall be presented. But experience of the past affords little encouragement on this account. The same reasons that have made the Lawyer M.P.s indifferent upon questions relating to the Law and affecting their own Profession, in past times, will continue to Lawyers will be too busy and the amateur influence them in future. Still the practising Lawyers too ignorant. The subject is a dull and unexciting one; it wants the charm of a political question; it does not admit of shewy speeches; it addresses itself to an unwilling audience; it brings no éclat to the advocate; it demands laborious research, large acquaintance with the Lawyers as well as with the Law; incessant attention, unwearied industry, unsleeping vigilance. These are qualifications not to be expected in a man who has been in the newspapers during the present century. The reference, with the date and place of each advertisement, called to the Bar without intending to pursue cannot be stated here without subjecting the paragraph it as a profession, and which, if possessed, canin a book kept at the LAW TIMES OFFICE, where these not, for want of leisure, be exercised by those particulars are preserved, and which will be communicated who have obtained a business. We fear, thereto any applicant. To prevent impertinent curiosity, a fee of half-a-crown for each inquiry must be paid to the publisher, or if by letter, postage stamps to that amount inclosed.]

fore, that in the new-born as in the expired Parliament the Profession is doomed to be made the subject of all kinds of Legislative experiments, and the Law to be subjected to every sort of change from unpractical hands, without

an advocate in the House of Commons to protect the interests of the one and prevent the consummation of the other.

If so it should prove, the Lawyers have none but themselves to blame. They have had ample warning, both of the danger and of the means of averting it: they were exhorted, until the repetition of it was tedious, to make the trifling effort requisite for their own protection. They failed to bestir themselves in

time, and we fear they will have but too much cause to lament the consequences of their neglect.

THE YORKSHIRE LAW SOCIETY.

THE resolutions of this Society, which appear in another column, were, by one of those unlucky accidents that always seem to occur upon occasions when they are most inconvenient, omitted by the printer to be inserted last week, even after they were in type. Happily a leading article contained a similar recommendation, and we have reason to believe that it was not without its effect in many of the borough elections that have been concluded during the past week. The resolutions of the Yorkshire Law Society will not, however, be too late to stimulate to exertion in the county elections that are yet to come. Let them be acted upon instantly and everywhere, and important results may still be accomplished. That which the Lawyers individually may have neglected to do at this election, we hope will be done by the Association when the Parliament assembles. The vigilance of the Society will be most required in the Legislature. There must its influence be exercised alike in the advancement of real reforms in the Law, and in the prevention of inconsiderate changes. The work before it is immense; it will tax all the skill and the industry of those to whom its direction is intrusted, and they will require to be backed by all the support that can be given to them by the lawyers throughout the country, or their efforts will be as unsuccessful as those of their prede

cessors.

SHAM LAWYERS.

SOME more of these singular productions will not merely amuse, they will indicate where watch is to be kept.

Date May 29, 1847. To Mr. Rolph Morrass, of Bageully-lene. SIR, I am specially instructed by Mr. John Copland, of Blackburn, to summons you as the Newlaw directs for a debt of 6. 14s. 1d. due to him for Goods sold and delivered to you and at your Requiest -and if the same, together with all lawful expenses be not paid to me or the Plaintiff, within three days from this date, without further Notice the Court officer will instantly be dispatched to take forcible possession of both your body and Goods wherever you or they can be found (under the provision of the new act of Victoria, for the recovery of debts and committing debtors to the common County Jail), where they must remain the plaintiff's pleasure on county allowance.

S. Office at No. 19, John Streeat, where you can settle with plaintiff personly without expence.

N.B. No imprsonment under this act goes to extinguish any debt, or expence incured by the reco very thereof, and by a late order of the Home Secretary, fraudulent debtors are limited to prison diet, and allowed to see their friends only once a month, young persons are treated as above, and are also liable to be sent to Jail. So fail not at your peril, as my orders are imperative to be paid in full of all demand, otherwise take your goods and commit your body to prison, as the new Law just passed directs

me.

BY AUTHORITY OF THE COURT.

Leicester, May 5, 1847. SIR,-I am requested to apply for payment of your account immediately, due to Mr. Thos. Biggs, of Leicester, which has been due a long time. I am ordered to get in all these kind of accounts; and as proceedings will take place unless it is paid in three days, I give you this notice, and request an immediate remittance to avoid legal expenses.

enrolled or registered, or to be registered, under that Act, and depending in point of title on such deeds, should be of the same effect as if such deeds had been enrolled or registered on the day of the date thereof; nevertheless, without prejudice to the validity of any assurance to correct or supply any defects arising from the want of such enrolment or registry. (Sec. 24.) It further enacts that all sales and conveyances of lands for the purpose of redeeming the land-tax, provided such conveyances shall appear to have been executed under the authority and with the consent and approbation of the respective commissioners, shall be thereby confirmed from the respective periods at which such sales and conveyances were respectively made and executed. (Sec. 25.) And with a proviso for relief in equity for persons injured by such ability; and if so labouring, then within five years sales within five years, if not labouring under disafter the removal of the same. (Sec. 26.)

Protection from acts of bankruptcy.-All dispositions of his property by a trader after committing an act of bankruptcy were, as we have already seen (vol. 1, p. 164), void, under the statute 13 Eliz. c. 7. By the 21 Jac. c. 15, s. 1, purchasers for valuable consideration were protected unless a commission issued within five years after the act of bankruptcy. The Act 46 Geo. 3, c. 135, rendered all bona fide transactions with a bankrupt valid, if entered into more than two years before the date of his commission, notwithstanding a prior act of bankruptcy, unless the purchaser had notice of it. By a still more recent enactment (6 Geo. 4, c. 16), all bona fide conveyances by a bankrupt entered into more than two calendar months before the issuing of the commission, were declared valid, notwithstanding a prior act of bankruptcy, unless the purchaser had notice of it (sec. 81); and even if he had such notice, the sale was not to be impeached unless a commission or fiat was sued out within twelve months after the act of bankruptcy, instead of two years as the law stood previously. (Sec. 86.) And by the recent statute, 2 Vict. c. 11, after reciting that it was expedient that further provision should be made for the protection of purchasers against secret acts of bankruptcy and fiats in bankruptcy, enacts that all conveyances by any bankrupt bona fide, made and executed before the date and issuing of the fiat against such bankrupt, shall be valid, notwithstanding any prior act of bankruptcy by him committed, provided the person or persons to whom such bankrupt so conveyed had not, at the time of such conveyance, notice of any prior act of bankruptcy by him committed. (Sec. 12.) And it further enacts, that no purchase from any bankrupt bona fide and for valuable consideration, where the purchaser had notice, at the time of such purchase, of an act of bankruptcy by such bankrupt committed, shall be impeached by reason thereof, unless the commission against such bankrupt shall have been sued out within twelve calendar months after such act of bankruptcy. (Sec. 13.)

Judgments.-By statute 1 & 2 Vict. c. 110, no judgment or decree, or any order in bankruptcy or lunacy, shall affect purchasers, unless registered in pursuance of the terms of that Act. (Sec. 19.) And by the stat. 2 Vict. c. 11, judgments are, as we have already seen, to be void after five years, unless a like memorandum as was required in the first instance is again left with the senior master of the Common Pleas, and so toties quoties at the expiration of every succeeding five years. (Sec. 4.)

Defects in sales for the land-tax.-Defects in sales for the redemption of the land-tax.-Inconveniences having sometimes arisen where lands had been sold for the redemption of the land-tax under the statute 42 Geo. 3, c. 116, by reason of such sales having often been made by persons not having an absolute estate and interest in the property, the statute of 54 Geo. 3, c. 173, was passed, by which all such conveyances were confirmed from the respective periods at which such sales and conveyances were respectively made and executed. (Sec. 12.) But, at the same time, persons injured or prejudiced by such sale so confirmed, were to be entitled to relief in equity, and, by decree or order of such Court, to receive compensation by a rent-charge, to be issuing out of the lands for such term or estate as the Court should direct. (Sec. 13.) Difficulties however, again arose, on account of such conveyances not having been executed by the commissioners under the sign-manual, as required by the terms of the Act, and also as to the mode of confirming titles under such imperfect conveyances; to remedy which, Commissioners for the Affairs of Taxes, or any two of them, are, by a subsequent statute (57 Geo. 3, c. 100-on their being satisfied that such deeds, &c. would have been authorised and available under the provisions of the said Acts, if the commissioners under those Acts had executed the same,) enabled to sign and seal such deeds, &c. and to cause such indorsements to be made thereon as they may think necessary for shewing their assent and confirmation thereto; and all such deeds, &c. so signed and sealed and indorsed, are thereby declared to be confirmed from the respective periods at which they were originally designed to take effect, and without any additional stamp-duty being required in respect of such confirmation. (Sec. 22.) The Commissioners for the Affairs of Taxes are also empowered to rescind any contract for the sale of any land for the redemption of the land-tax, whenever such contract cannot be completed by reason of some defect in the title. (Sec. 33.) It also further enacts, that all deeds required by the said Acts Protection from unregistered deeds.-In certain to be enrolled shall be valid, although not enrolled parts of the kingdom all deeds and wills are rewithin the period prescribed by the Acts relating quired, by Act of Parliament, to be registered to the redemption of the land-tax; and that it shall (2 & 3 Anne, c. 4; 5 Anne, c. 18; 6 Anne, c. 35; be lawful for any two or more of the Commissioners 7 Anne, c. 20; 8 Geo. 2, c. 6); and where this for the time being for the Redemption of the occurs all deeds and wills, unless registered accordLand-tax, if they shall think fit, upon the produc-ingly, are declared to be fraudulent and void against tion of any such deeds, to order the same to be enrolled or registered, which are thereby to become as valid as if the same had been enrolled within the periods prescribed by the said Acts; and that all conveyances made subsequent to any deeds already

Lis pendens.-The last-mentioned statute also directs that no lis pendens shall bind a purchaser without express notice thereof, unless such suit is duly registered as thereby is directed. (Sec. 7.)

Crown debts.-It also enacts that no judgment, statute, or recognizance, which should thereafter be obtained or entered into upon account of the Crown, or inquisition by which any debt shall be found due to her Majesty, her heirs, or successors, should affect purchasers unless duly registered in the manner thereby prescribed. (Sec. 8.)

any subsequent purchaser or mortgagee for valuable consideration. But as on the one hand a subsequent purchaser is protected against an unregistered document, so on the other, where the title depends upon one that is already registered, he must be

careful to ascertain, not only that this be done, but that event happened after recoveries were abolished, Hunsden v. Cheyney, 2 ib. 150; Raw v. Pole, ib. also that the registry be made in pursuance of the the provision cannot apply to them. Even to that 239; Draper v.

And notwithstanding an appointment Amidst such uncertainty and diversity of opinions Berrisford v. Milward, 2 Atk. 49; East-India when made is considered to relate to, and to operate it is almost needless to say that no title upon which Company v. Vincent, ib. 3; Jackson v. Cator, 5 in the same manner as if contained in the deed a question of this kind arises can be considered as Ves. 688; Burrowes v. Lock, 10 Ves. 470.) Nor creating the power, still for this, an unregistered marketable. But such defect, except as against a will either infancy or coverture be admitted as an appointment will be ineffectual against a sub-subsequent purchaser without notice, might be excuse in a transaction of this kind.

Earl of Bedford, cited in falling within the mischiefs the Registry Acts were who, but for such conveyance, would have been Savage v. Foster, 9 Mod. 33; Evroy v. Nicholls, intended to guard against. (Scrafton v. Quincey, tenant in tail, if there is no protector of the settle-2 Eq. Ca. Abr. 489; Becket v. Cordley, 1 Bro. 2 Ves. sen. 413.) But copyhold lands need not be ment; but if there be such protector, who shall not C. C. 353.) "And this," the learned author of the registered, nor leases at rack rent; nor leases not consent to the disposition, and the tenant in tail shall Treatise on Equity observes (lib. 1, c. 3, s. 4), "seems exceeding twenty-one years, where the possession not, without such consent, be capable of confirming a just punishment for concealing his right, by which goes along with it. the voidable estate to its full extent, then, and in such an innocent man is drawn to lay out his money. case, such disposition shall have the effect of confirming (And see Syles v. Cooper, 3 Atk. 692; Anon. such voidable estate, so far as such tenant in tail would Bunb. 35; Henning v. Ferrers, Gilb. Rep. 83; then be capable of confirming the same without Fox v. Macreth, 2 Bro. C.C. 420.) such consent. (Sec. 38.) And by the 47th section of the same statute, any commissioner acting in the execution of a fiat in bankruptcy, in case of a tenant in tail entitled to a base-fee becoming bankrupt, is enabled to dispose of such lands to a purchaser for valuable consideration, provided, at the time of such disposition, there be no protector of the settlement by which the estate tail converted into a base-fee was created; and by such disposition the base-fee shall be enlarged into as large an estate as the same could, at the time of such disposition, have been enlarged into by the person so entitled, if he had not become bankrupt.

Dormant incumbrances.-Equity will also relieve a bona fide purchaser against dormant incumbrances, such as ancient statutes, of which there is no positive proof of their having been cancelled; Burgh v. Wolf, Toth. 226; Smith v. Rosewell, ib. 247; as also against old mortgages or other incumbrances, which have not been acted upon for a long time, or any demand made in respect of them. (Abdy v. Loveday, Finch 250; Gibson v. Fletcher, 1 Cha. Rep. 32; Hales v. Hales, 2 ib. 56; Whiting v. White, 2 Cox, 290.) And as, on the one hand, equity will raise this presumption in favour of a mortgagor who has been long in possession, so on the other hand where a mortgagee has been in possession for any great length of time, as twenty years or upwards, without paying any interest, or any other circumstances appearing from which it can be inferred that the mortgage is still subsisting, and the mortgagor cannot set up a sufficient legal disability in excuse for his neglect, the equity of redemption will be wholly barred. (St. John v. Turner, 2 Vern. 418; Trash v. White, 3 Bro. C. C. 289; Blewett v. Thomas, 2 Ves. 669; 1 Fonbl. Eq. 333, n. s.)

Defective fines and recoveries.-Many titles having proved defective in consequence of the negligence of persons employed in suffering recoveries, the statute of the 14 Geo. 2, c. 20, was passed, by which it was enacted, that a purchaser, having been twenty years in possession, might, at the end of that time, produce in evidence the deed making the tenant to the præcipe, and declaring the uses of the recovery, which was to be deemed good evidence that the recovery was duly suffered, in case no record of the recovery could be found, or it was entered irregularly on the record. And it was also provided, that all recoveries should be deemed good after twenty years, where it appeared that there was a tenant to the writ, and the persons joining in the same had a sufficient estate and power to suffer the recovery, notwithstanding the deed making the Protection in equity-Defective assurances.-A tenant to the præcipe might be lost.
