Correspondence. CAUTION TO THE PROFESSION-A SWINDLE.-A person, having all the appearance of a respectable attorney's clerk, called at my offices last month, apparently in great haste, with papers in his hand, and representing himself as a clerk to a respectable attorney in Lincoln's-inn-fields, said he wanted 3s. 6d. to save going back to his offices. I lent it at once. I am sorry to say (not for the sake of the loss merely) I have since discovered (only to-day) that the pretence was false, and the getting the money a swindle. I write this as a warning to my professional brethren in case of similar applications. FREDERICK AUGUSTUS LEWIS, 7, Trafalgar-place east, Hackney-road. 30th July 1860.

LAW OF PUBLIC MEETINGS.-Your correspondent "J. R." asks if there exists any publication containing the Law of Public Meetings, There is a manual of such law by T. J. Arnold, Esq., published by Maxwell. I procured it, thinking I should find what I wanted, but when I got it, found it was useless, or nearly so. What I required was not only the law but the practice of such meetings as mentioned by "J. R." If Mr. Arnold would set to work upon such a book and give every information on the practice, and also the duties and rights of chairmen, deputy chairmen, speakers, &c., I have no doubt the book would sell well.

Margate, 28th July 1860.

Leighton, of Bafford-house, Charlton Kings, Gloucester, were proved in the principal registry of the Court of Probate, on June 27, by Lady Leighton, his relict, Edmund Thomas Leighton, Esq., the son, and Claudius Buchanan Ker, M.D., the acting executors. The personalty in England was sworn under 45,000l. Sir David has bequeathed to his relict, in addition to the sum of 40,000 rupees under her marriage-settlement, a life-interest in a further sum of 20,000l., and an immediate legacy of 500, and leaves her the plate, linen, china, and stores absolutely, and the family residence of Bafford-house, which at her decease he has bequeathed to his eldest son, David. He bequeaths to his younger son, Edmund, his estates at Kentish-town, and he bequeaths the residue of his property equally amongst his children.-Lady George Beresford: Letters of administration, with the will and codicil annexed thereto, of the estate and effects of the late Right Hon. Lady Harriett Beresford, relict of the late Lord George Thomas Beresford, G.C.H., son of the first Marquis of Waterford, were granted by the London Court of Probate to her daughter, Elizabeth Harriett Georgiana Eden, the wife of Henry Eden, Esq. The executors of her will-Miss S. E. Schultz, her sister, and Edward Lawford, Esq.-renounced probate of the will. Her ladyship has bequeathed to her three daughters specific bequests of diamonds, and further leaves to them as follows:-To Elizabeth, her books; to Harriett de la Poer Beresford, her pictures; and to Caroline de la Poer Beresford, her china; and they are to divide amongst them the remainder of her diamonds and jewellery, and appoints them also residuary legatees. There are bequests to her mother and sister. To her servants she bequeaths as follows: -To Elizabeth Lisle, who has been with her many years, she leaves an annuity of 50%.; to Esther Shaw, an annuity of 10.; and to each of them she leaves 10. for mourning, as well as legacies to all her other servants.- -Sir W. Domville, Bart.: The will and codicil of Sir William Domville, Bart., of Southfield-lodge, Eastbourne, Sussex, who died on the 21st May, at the age of eighty-six, were proved in London by his son, Sir James Graham Domville, Bart., the sole executor. The personalty was sworn uuder 30,000. He bequeathed to his wife all his furniture, plate, china, his Royal Exchange Stock, his Bank Stock, and an immediate sum of 2001. He fill-leaves pecuniary legacies to his younger son and daughters, and to his eldest son he leaves his freehold estates and the residue of his personal estate. The will and codicil were made in 1858. Sir William was the author of a work entitled "The Sabbath," the copyright of which he has bequeathed to his two sons. Sir William was the son of the first baronet, who owed his elevation to his being Lord Mayor of London during the memorable visit of the Allied

INSOLVENT COURT.-I beg to call attention to the vexatiously particular requisitions of the Court for Relief of Insolvent Debtors, in paying dividends to creditors, regulations which are not found necessary in the Court of Bankruptcy where the dividends are more than a hundredfold those of the Insolvent Court. In the first place, during the payment of dividends the schedule is impounded, and cannot be seen by a creditor. This is not so in bankruptcy-a creditor can see all the papers connected with the dividend or estate at any time. 2. You can only obtain payment three days a week, and between eleven and two o'clock only. 3. Between the 14th Aug. and the 2nd Nov. dividends are not obtainable at all. 4. And most vexatious of all, the receipt must be filled up in words at length entirely by the creditor entitled to receive the dividend, and the ing up and signing must be attested by a witness, who must fill in his address and occupation.

Ipswich, Aug. 1.-The commission for the county of Suffolk was opened yesterday afternoon by the Lord Chief Baron. The Chief Justice of the Common Pleas was detained in Norwich trying the cause of Dix v. Crack, the last of the series arising out of a dispute between two farmers, the facts of which have already been published. Alis lordship arrived here in the afternoon.

There are seven causes here for trial, one being a special jury, and seventeen prisoners, comprising Le charges of burglary, one rape, one assault with intent one concealment of birth, one stealing post-of letter, one passing counterfeit coin, two felonies, three ordinary larcenies, and seven indictments against a collector of poor-rates in Ipswich for differ ent alleged embezzlements from Dec. 1858 to Feb. 1860. OXFORD CIRCUIT.

Shrewsbury, July 30.-Mr. Justice Byles arrived in this town on Saturday from Stafford, and at once proceeded to the Shire-hall and opened the commission for the county of Salop. His lordship was attended by the high-sheriff, Sir Charles Henry Rouse Boughton, and his chaplain, and his arrival at the Shirehall was signaled by a flourish of trumpets. A body of the county constabulary, dressed in their green uniform, were also in attendance. They were twenty in number, and armed with drawn cutlasses, which added a very novel but rather ugly feature to the procession, as it proceeded from the Shire-hall to the judge's lodgings. We have not heard of any conspiracy to waylay or murder the learned judge; asi therefore we presume that marching with draw swords is only a policeman's mode of showing respect under the new regime. The old javelinmen, will their medieval weapons of war, were emphaticky a "civil" force; but the modern policeman, lifting his naked sword, in hands familiar with the use if the truncheon, is certainly more formidable than assuring.

The courts were kept by the police, some of them being armed with cutlasses, and others carrying the peaceful wand.

The cause-list contains an entry of four causes, one of which is marked for a special jury. The calendar contains the names of 23 prisoners, charged with offences of an ordinary description.

Stafford, July 28.-THE SHERIFF'S MEN AND THE POLICE.-At the last quarter sessions for this county the magistrates availed themselves of the power give by a recent Act of Parliament, and resolved "That the police constables of this county be ordered to cischarge the duties hitherto performed by the sherif's javelinmen; this order to take effect forthwith." The Hon. and Rev. A. C. Talbot, who proposed the change, said the expense to which the high she was annually put in providing javelinmen was about 3001., which seemed to him a great waste of mo as he understood that the police who attendedsions and assizes could do the duty. The Chief Onstable observed that there would be sufficient polasmen in attendance at assizes and sessions during the two first days to keep order in the courts; but that, as they returned to their respective districts as 590 as their cases were over, it would be necessary to p point men specially to that duty during the are part of the assizes and sessions. Sach men would receive extra pay for this extra daty; and he stats. that the extra pay which the police in Worcestershire received from the sheriff was 36. 6d a-day. Captain Whitby seconded the motion, and said he did w because he thought the police would do the daty better than the javelinmen. He complained that, at the last assizes, the courts were 9242 fully kept. It was almost impossible at the last se sizes for a magistrate to get into one start of an 1045 | Mr. T. F.

The P.C. held the arrest to be invalid, for it was not shown that the specific demand had not been satisfied or allowed for in the accounts, and the creditor could not select certain items, and attribute the balance specifically to them: (Van Hasselt v. Sack, 2 L. T. Rep. N.S. 613.)

PRINCIPAL AND AGENT.-A charter-party was entered into by the agents of the charterer in this form:"It is agreed between B., owner, &c., of the one part, and C., as agent of D., of Africa, &c., of the other part, to take on board such goods as the charterer or his agents may send alongside. Reload from the agents or correspondents of the said merchants." The words "merchants and charterers" were printed throughout the charter-party, and it was signed "for B., owner, C. as agent, and for D., C. as agent." On appeal C., the agent, was held not to be liable as a principal on this charter-party: (Deslandes v. Gregory, 2 L. T. Rep. N.S. 634.)

BANKRUPTCY.-An arrangement between B. and C. that either party should pay or receive every fortnight the difference in value of certain railway shares, as ascertained on each settling day, resulted in a balance in favour of B. It was held to be a gambling transaction, and not proveable against the estate of C. on his bankruptcy: (Ex parte Phillips, 2 L. T. Rep. N.S. 637.)

BANKERS' DIVIDENDS AND THE STAMP

АСТ.

The following important correspondence has passed between the Board of Inland Revenue and the London and Westminster Bank. The latter were in the habit of paying dividends to any person authorised by a shareholder, in an unstamped document, to receive them, and they only required the agent so authorised to sign a draft on demand, or cheque. It was suggested that the authorisation should be stamped as a warrant of attorney; but the board have decided that in their judgment such is not the

WILLIAM MARSHALL, Esq., Barrister-at-Law,
one of the Authors of "Paterson, Macnamara
and Marshall's New Practice of the Common
Law." London: Crockford.

PROBABLY there are few readers unacquainted with the merits of "The New Practice of the Common Law," in the preparation of which Mr. Marshall assisted Mr. Paterson and Mr. Macnamara. It is, we believe, admitted to be, in its method of arrangement and in the completeness of its information to the practitioner and studert, the best Common Law Practice" that has appeared since the Procedure Acts accomplished their revolution. The justly-earned popularity of that laborious work has induced Mr. Marshall to bring out, what is in fact a supplement to it, a treatise on Costs. He thought, when he began it, that such a treatise might be compressed into a small volume of a hundred pages or so. But he found, when he had collected together the materials, that he could not bring them into ten times that space, at least without such curtailment as would render the work worthless to the practitioner. Books there are many that fess to give tables of costs and precedents of bills of costs, and most of them are prefaced by an essay, more or less brief, assuming to present an outline of the law. But outlines are worthless, or worse, in practice. A full-length treatise did not exist, and so Mr. Marshall set himself vigorously to the task of doing justice to the subject, and treating of it fully, despite of the unexpected labour it imposed upon himself, hoping that the vastly increased value of the work would be held by the Profession to comThis order must be signed by all the parties in whose pensate for the necessarily increased size.

do we think that he will be disappointed in this,
for he has produced a work which will doubtless
become the text-book on the very important
subject to which it is devoted-a subject that
directly affects the profits of every member of
the profession, for upon the accuracy and fullness
of his sources of information in the drawing of
his bills of costs will mainly depend the amount
of his income.

The allowance for briefs and fees of counsel, the costs of special jury and view, with the many miscellaneous costs that arise in a variety of cases, are minutely detailed, so that the attorney will him, in the performance of that most critical find no difficulty, with these instructions before business, the drawing of his bill of costs-his skill in doing of which regulates the amount of his remuneration.

The author's next topic is the set-off of cost, as where some issues are found for one party and others for the other, and upon which there is always so much discussion. But all the cases decided upon it are here brought together, and the principles deduced from them which will guide the practitioner in future.

Taxation as between attorney and client, and the process by which taxation may be reviewed, complete this branch of the inquiry.

A series of chapters are finally devoted to the consideration of costs in actions in particular rights and capacities; and in particular actions and proceedings; and the costs in arbitration receive, as from their importance they deserve, the notice of an entire chapter.

The lien of an attorney for his costs is a subject of great interest, to which Mr. Marshall bas given much attention, and the chapter on this subject will, perhaps, be more frequently referred to than any other portion of the volume; and it is followed by an essay on the liability of an attorney for his costs.

The Remedies for Costs is a useful and nore chapter, containing minute instructions for their recovery.

Costs in various of the inferior tribunals are then treated of: as in the County Courts, t Divorce and Probate Court, in criminal cedure and before justices.

To perfect the work, there is an appendix cotaining a complete collection of the tables of fees and costs allowed in all the courts, followed by precedents of bills of costs in various proceeding with which Mr. Marshall was favoured by prac titioners who had passed them through the ordeal of taxation.

A very copious index concludes a volume which will be welcomed in every office, where such a work has long been a desideratum; and so well has Mr. Marshall performed his task that it will doubtless become the text-book on the inportant subject to which it is devoted.

ters showing when and to what extent costs are
recoverable in interlocutory proceedings, de-
murrers, judgments by default, and other cases,
