Rule nisi. Ex parte LORD HUNTINGTOWER.-Hannen moved for a certiorari to remove a record and conviction thereon by the justices of Richmond, in Surrey. Certain tressels having been placed on parts of the road between Richmond and Petersham, Lord Huntingtower determined to try the right LUCE V. THE GUARDIANS OF THE CITY OF LONDON UNION.Phipson showed cause against a rule to show cause why the above action should not be stayed.-Lush, Q.C. (W. Williams with him) contra. Rule discharged by arrangement and with the sanction of the court; and rule to be drawn up giving the plaintiff's judgment in default of order of Poor Law Board being performed. BAKER V. TYNTE.-Lush, Q.C. (Joyce wifh him) showed cause against a rule to set aside two orders of Blackburn, J., dated 24th Dec. and 18th Jan. last, ordering that defendant's reversionary life-interest in certain sums of stock standing in the books of the Bank of England in the names of Mary Tate and others, should stand charged with the payment of 60001. and interest and costs, and all further proceedings be stayed.-Coleridge (Briggs, Chancery bar, with him) contra.

THE WHITBY IRON COMPANY (LIMITED) v. ROBERTS.—— Bovill moved to date a rule obtained on the 9th May for the purpose of making an agreement of reference a rule of court as of the 7th May, for the purpose of making a motion to set aside the award herein, on the ground that the umpire was the attorney of the defendant. It appeared that a motion to set aside the award was made last term, but it was found that the agreement of reference had not been made a rule of court, and so the motion fell to the ground. Owing to the agreement of reference being in the defendant's custody (the successful party), the plaintiffs were not enabled to make it a rule until the 9th May, the day after Easter Term, during which term, in the ordinary course, the motion ought to have been made: (Re Perring, 4 Dowl. 98; Re Ross, 4 Dowl. & L. 648.) Rule nisi. REG. v. THE JUSTICES OF LINCOLNSHIRE.-The argument of Manisty in this case was continued. At its close, the Court suggested that, as the point was a very important one, and that if they decided in favour of the prerogative of the Prince of Wales, there could be no appeal, the better course would be to issue a writ of summons, and then state a special case, by which means the decision of this court might be reviewed in error. After some discussion it was agreed that the case should stand over for that purpose. Stands over. GERARD v. Ross.-Rule nisi calling on Mr. Innes, an attorney of this court, to pay 7207. 14s. 4d. to a Mr. McAndrew, a trustee under a sequestration of the defendant in Scotland, and to stay the proceedings of outlawry against the defendant.-Shee, Serjt. and Kemplay showed cause; and Lush and Barstow supported the rule Rule absolute without costs. MANSER V. CHRISTIE.-Rule nisi to enter verdict for the defendants on all the issues. The plaintiff is the owner of a mill and residence, and the defendants are brewers at Hoddesdon, Herts. The action was brought for polluting the water of the Wallen stream, which flowed into the plaintiff's millpond by the defendants discharging the refuse from the brewery into the stream. It appeared that the brewery had drained into the stream from time immemorial, but that no nuisance had resulted prior to 1848, when the defendants made some alteration in their drainage channels. Jacobs showed cause, and Bovill and Baddeley (H. Lloyd with them) supported the rule. Thursday, May 24. Re RICHARD ASHWORTH.-Wigham moved for a certiorari to bring into court the appointment of Messrs. Lingworth and Hacking, overseers of Walton-le-day, with a view to its being quashed. Granted. HILL v. HOWELL.-J. Brown, on the part of the defendant, moved to set aside a replication of confession, and the taxation of costs thereon, under rule 22, Reg. Gen. Trin. T. 1853. There had been a sale on certain conditions; amongst others, that if the vendor pleased he might, within a reasonable time, rescind the contract without costs. chaser brought an action on the contract; and the defendant pleaded that a reasonable time had not elapsed before suit. The plaintiff treated that as a good plea, and confessed under rule 22. The pur Refused. REG. v. THE BURIAL BOARD OF ST. JOHN'S, WESTGATE, NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.-T.

Foster moved for a rule for a mandamus to the justices of Sheffield, commanding them to issue their warrant for the amount of costs due to Henry Whittington, under the following circumstances:-Henry Whittington was summoned before the justices on the 27th July for not supporting his wife, when he proved that she had committed adultery, and it was decided that he was not bound to support her; thereupon James Ellis, the assistant overseer, took out a second summons, on which Whittington was convicted, the justices not being satisfied with the evidence. Whittington appealed, and the sessions quashed the conviction, and in their judgment ordered that James Ellis, the assistant overseer, the complainant before the justices and the real respondents in the said appeal, should pay to the clerk of the peace the costs of the said Henry Whittington, to be taxed, &c. On application to the clerk of the peace it appeared that he had not received the amount, and on application to the mayor for a warrant of distress, he refused on the objection being taken that the order for payment of the costs should have been on the overseers, and not on their agent. MANSER V. CHRISTIE.-Jacob was heard further herein. Rule nisi. Rule absolute for new trial. WREN . THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY.Parry, Serjt.

A collision having occurred near the latter place, the plaintiff brought his action to recover damages, but failed in it. A rule nisi for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was against the evidence having been obtained, no counsel appeared to show cause.Pickering (Holland with him) appeared in support of the rule.-ERLE, C.J.: The learned judge who tried the cause states that he is not dissatisfied with the verdict; it will therefore not be disturbed, and the rule must be discharged. Rule discharged. [MAY 26, 1860. FLETCHER V. MCDOWALL.-Grant stated that the affidavits Serjt. and Turner showed cause against a rule for a new COCHER v.

Rule discharged; question of costs reserved. THE ANGLO-FRENCH PORCELAIN COMPANY (LIMITED) € HARRIS.-John Simon (C. Leigh with him) showed cause against a rule obtained calling on the company to show cause why the share register of the company should note rectified, by entering thereon the name of a Mr. Wed instead of that of the defendant, such ratification to b date and be deemed to have been made on the 22nd p 1859, and that plaintiff's pay to defendant the costs of the action under the 19 & 20 Viet. c. 47, s. 34, and 20 & ¥ ¥2 c. 14-H. T. Cole in support of the rule-The Corrif they decided in favour of the defendants, the matter wh be final; but the question was much too doubtful tasto determine it-the register of shareholders was not concesive evidence of the holder of the shares, calls upon which had been sued for, that there were not in fact sufficient mate rials before the court on which to determine it such, or whether the whole of the capital had been subscribed t &c., &c.

It is that which arose in the debate in the assembly at Melbourne, an abstract of which was given to our readers a fortnight ago. If the solicitors are permitted to practise as barristers, barristers must be permitted to act as solicitors; for the solicitors do not, of course, ask that they should be ddress of the writer, not necessarily for publication, permitted to have the monopoly of their own practice, with freedom to take also the practice of the bar.

Beadel, obtained by the solicitors, or if, upon the con- to be brought before the House; whereas the fact is that Mr. James mentioned to me, in Westminsterhall yesterday morning, that he had heard of the existence of a difference of opinion among the commissioners as to the refusal of certificates, and that House. He at the same time asked me if the report he believed the fact was likely to be mentioned in the was true, and if I objected to my opinion being known. I told him that I and my brother commissioners had differed as to withholding one certificate; that I had mentioned the fact to the Chief Commissioner for Gloucester (Mr. Vaughan) and to others; and that I had no objection to its being stated publicly. Mr. James is mistaken in stating that the difference proceeded upon any other than the one ground-viz., whether the party had or had not made a full disclosure. As regards the observations of the AttorneyGeneral, I am not aware that I have in any way unduly impeached the conclusion of my colleagues; and I think, had the learned Attorney-General borne in mind the nature of the commissioners' duty in withholding certificates, he would not have expressed the opinion upon me which he did. Each witness may ask for a certificate immediately that his examination is concluded (and this in practice is somediffer as to the propriety of granting the certificate, I times done). If, then, the commissioners should believe that it would be their duty to let the applicant know whether they were unanimous or otherwise in the refusal, and I cannot think that a commissioner who differed from his fellows, and publicly stated that he did so, would thereby be improperly impugnAs respects the Profession and the public, iting the judgment of the majority. It cannot matter is purely a question of cost. The solicitor acting alone could do the work much more cheaply than if counsel were also to be paid; but would that result follow? Would he not, in fact, charge for his services both as advocate and as solicitor? and, if so, no pecuniary advantage would accrue to the client. Professionally, it is a question on rary, by Mr. Hodgson, at his rooms, Chancery-lane. which only guesses can be hazarded, whether the tised this day. Mart. Advertised May 26.

Some of our readers imagine that such a contest would end in securing the whole business, both of advocacy and solicitorship, to the solicitors; but of this we feel doubtful whether many clients might not prefer by no means assured. We think it very the counsel's fee to the attorney's bill. At all events, it would be as well to ascertain this before any step is taken, the consequences of which, however disastrous to either or both, would be irretrievable. A JUDGE'S LIPS. ARE the lips of a judge closed to the divisions of That is the question raised by an incident in Mr. Serjt. PIGOTT differed from the majority of his colleagues as to the propriety of refusing a certificate of protection from prosecution to Mr. LEATHAM. This fact the learned serjeant imparted to Mr. E. JAMES, authorising him so to state in the House of Commons. For so doing the Serjeant was severely rebuked by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL. In self-defence he has written a letter to the Times, vindicating the right and duty of a judge to state his views, although differing from his colleagues. Thus does Mr. Serjt. PIGOTT express himself: Mr. E. James's statement, that he had my authority for mentioning to the House the fact of a difference of opinion among the commissioners, may be read as if I were a volunteer in causing the subject upon the question of publicity that the certificates are all considered and granted, or refused, at the end of the whole inquiry. Judicial acts ought not to require secrecy, and our law and equity reports teem with judgments in which one half the court, and indeed of the entire bench, differ from the other. I beg to apologise for troubling you upon a matter personal to myself, and only feel excused in doing so as it concerns my discharge of a public duty. I am, Sir, your obedient and faithful servant, Temple, May 26. GILLERY PIGOTT. It is clearly right. He was sitting as a judge, performing a judicial act. It is the practice of judges, when they differ, not only to make known the fact of a difference, but to state the reasons for dissent from the conclusion of the majority. That course was not adopted in this instance, only because it was not then deemed a matter of sufficient moment to call for a formal judgment; but had it been asked for, there can be no doubt that the dissentient would have been declared, and he would have advanced the reasons for his difference.

Nothing could be more fair, if it is right to prosecute at all. But the propriety of such a prosecution has been questioned both within and without the House. In the first place, it is urged as an act almost of cruelty to single out eight from among many equally guilty and equally punishable. A more formidable objection is the fact that these defendants made the disclosures in reliance upon the provision of the statute that exempts from prosecution all who shall obtain from the commissioners a certificate that they had made a full disclosure. It appears now that with respect to one of them, Mr. LEATHAM, the commissioners were divided in opinion whether |
