REAL PROPERTY LAWYER AND CONVEYANCER. Summary. THE Court of Ap. has reversed the decision of the M. R. in the case of Smith v. Adams, 23 L.T. Rep. 325; and where, by the custom of a manor, the widow of the copyholder was entitled to freebench of one moiety of the copyhold of which he died seised, and A., having copyholds (subject to the freebench of his mother therein, who had been informally admitted to an undivided moiety of the property) surrendered the whole to the use of a purchaser in fee (subject to the free-tuted a condition precedent to the exercise of bench of his mother), who entered and continued in possession till his death, but was never admitted; and he died intestate, leaving a widow: it was held that she had no equitable title to freebench out of any part of the property-the Dower Act not extending to such a case.

Literary and Scientific Institution, Bridgwater, on
Wednesday, the 13th day of September 1854, Mr.
F. C. Foster in the chair, it was unanimously resolved
that the best thanks of the clerks now present, on
behalf of themselves and the other law clerks of the
country, are due to the Editors of the LAW TIMES for
the kind and liberal manner in which they have set
on foot the present movement for closing the law
offices on Saturdays at noon, and for their able and
zealous advocacy of the cause of the clerks in the
pages of their useful and influential journal.

to meet the demands of captors, from 1850 to
1851, was 35,500l., leaving a deficiency of 25,000.
and a further sum of 17007. in the affair of the brig

CONSUMPTION OF WINES IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.-From a parliamentary paper just published, it would appear that, although the population of the United Kingdom has almost doubled itself during the present century, the quantity of foreign and colonial wine consumed has decreased rather than increased during that period. In the year 1800, 7,294,752 Correspondence. gallons of foreign and colonial wines were charged THE HALF-HOLIDAY.-Would it not be well if all with duty for home consumption, but in 1853 only those solicitors who have signed the memorial to the 6,813,830 gallons were so charged. In the intervening Law Institution in favour of the Saturday half-years the consumption has fluctuated between the two holiday were now, while there is no court sitting, amounts, rarely rising to the higher one, but freand the offices are closed at one o'clock, to set the quently falling below the lower. The largest conexample by closing on Saturday provisionally; re- sumption was in 1803, when 8,226,464 gallons were opening, if necessary, when the busy year commences, charged with duty. Only one other year, 1825, if the judges cannot be brought to close the offices, registers 8,000,000 gallons, and after 1800 only three &c. on that day? years, 1802, 1828, and 1839, reach even to 7,000,000 gallons. The lowest consumption was in the year 1816, when only 4,057.038 gallons appear to have paid duty, whereof 3,698,998 gallons were foreign, and 358,040 gallons colonial wines.

A CITY CLERK.

THE HALF-HOLIDAY.-Notwithstanding the assurances contained in your paper of the 9th inst., as to the speedy universal adoption in the Profession of the half-holiday on Saturday, I cannot help thinking that in some of the provincial towns this great "improvement," as do most others, will come but slowly. There is very often to be found in such places a want of courage or energy to begin a new thing. Moreover, there is a species of shamefacedness which would prevent very many principals from attempting to interfere with the arrangements of their brethren; and they would be prevented from acting alone in such a matter from a fear of vaunting their liberality. Supposing the movement to begin from the employés, there are few well-treated clerks who would not rather

CONSUMPTION OF TEA.-A parliamentary paper just issued states that during the year ending the 5th of April 1854, 55,549,454lbs. of tea were delivered from the bonded warehouses in the united kingdom for home consumption. Of this amount 29, 998, 362 lbs. were delivered at the port of London, 6,758,540lbs. at Liverpool,3,536,752lbs. at Dublin, 2,752,185lbs. at Glasgow, 1,757,326lbs. at Leith, 1,592,591lbs. at Belfast, and 1,265,297lbs. at Bristol. The duty received on the aggregate amount was 5,181,908.

PROCEEDINGS OF LAW

METROPOLITAN AND PROVINCIAL LAW
ASSOCIATION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LAW TIMES.

SIR,-Will you allow me, through your columns, to give notice to the scattered members of the Profession that it is intended to hold a General Meeting of Attorneys and Solicitors at Leeds, on the 18th of October next, at one for two o'clock precisely. The meeting has been called for the same objects as those placed before the large meeting which was held at Derby in 1852, and which was reported in 20 L. T. 69; viz., to consider the present position and prospects of the Profession, and to devise the best means of obtaining increased support for, and thus giving increased efficiency to, the association.

The local arrangements will be made by the Leeds Law Society, which is known to be one of the most active and influential of the provincial societies. It is desired, as far as possible, to make the meeting a satisfactory representation of the Profession throughout the country; and with this view the committee are anxious that every member of the Profession should consider himself personally invited to attend; and that, wherever it can be arranged, the members of the Profession residing in any one town or locality should appoint one or more of their number to attend the meeting as delegates.

I am, Sir, yours, &c. 8, Bedford-row, 13th Sept. 1854.

GOVERNORS OF COLONIES.-A return has been

Governors and Lieutenant-Governors of the British
colonies, with the amount of their salaries, dates of
their appointments, and other particulars. From this
return it appears that there are forty-five places at
which we have governors, lieutenant-governors, or
persons acting in that capacity. Their aggregate
salaries amount to 118,8467. per annum. The highest
salary is 70007., which is given in two cases only-
viz., to the Earl of Elgin, Captain-General and
Governor-in-Chief of Canada; and to Sir G. W.
Anderson, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of

Ceylon. From this point they range downwards to
as low as 5007., which is the salary at Montserrat,
Nevis, and Heligoland. There is one 60007. salary,
to James Macaulay Higginson, at the Mauritius; and
50007. is given at Jamaica, to Sir H. Barkly; at
Gibraltar, to Lieutenant-General Sir R. Gardiner; at
the Ionian Islands, to Sir H. G. Ward; at the Cape
of Good Hope, to Lieutenant-General Cathcart; at
toria, to Captain Sir C. Hotham. The salary at
New South Wales, to Sir C. A. Fitzroy; and at Vic-
South Australia is 20007. Among the present gover-
nors there are twelve holding military, and four naval
rank. The remainder are civilians. The Earl of
Elgin is the only peer.

PROPORTION OF DEAF AND DUMB PERSONS IN

DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. From a comparison of the
proportion of deaf and dumb in Ireland with that
which prevails in other countries of Europe, from
which accurate information can be obtained, we learn
that the proportion, being 1 in 1593, is greater than
that of the Duchies of Luxembourg and Wurtemburg,
and the kingdoms of Tuscany, Bavaria, Belgium, and
Holland, in which the average is 1 in 2209; and' less
than in Sardinia, Norway, and parts of Switzerland,
where the average is 1 in 642. In some of the Swiss
cantons the ratio is as high as 1 in 206-i. e. above
seven times as great as in Ireland.

JUDICIAL AMENITIES. —A singular exchange of courtesies took place, a short time since, between Judge Pepper, of the 7th Judicial District of Tennessee, and Governor Johnson, of the same State. Judge Pepper, who was a blacksmith, presented to Governor Johnson a fire-shovel, made by the Judge's own hands. The Governor accepted the present, and, being a tailor by trade, returned the compliment by cutting EDWARDS, ANN MARIA, and COOPER, THOMAS, ironmongers, and making with his own hands a coat, which he presented to the judge.-New York Inquirer.

A MISERLY CHIEF JUSTICE.-Jekyl said that Kenyon died of eating apple-pie crust at breakfast, to save the expense of muffins; and that Lord Ellenborough, who succeeded to the chief justiceship in consequence, always bowed with great reverence to apple pie; "which," said Jekyl, we used to call apple pie-ty." The Princesses also told of how "the King used to play tricks on Kenyon, sending the Dispatch Box to him at a quarter past seven, when he knew Kenyon was snug in bed; being accustomed to go to bed at that hour to save candle-light.Moore's Diary.

by many

eminent medical men, that there is no medicine in the Materia Medica comparable to Sarsaparilla for recruiting the debilitated castitution, restoring the tone of the stomach, improving the general state of the system, and, by its continued use, removing various in ortod symptoms, ascribed to a deranged condition of the fluids; such as eruptions on the skin, ulcerations, scorbutic and cutaneous diseases, and rheumatic pains, operating as a general and complete pantier of the blood. BUTLER'S "Compound Concentrated Decortion, or Fla Extract of Sarsaparilla," is the original of the row winer as preparations of the kind, and is extensively prescribed by Medical Pisc titioners. It is most carefully prepared from the finest Jamaica Sersaparilla, imported at a low temperature, so as to preserve entirely the vis tues of the root in their most efficient and concentrated form. A pint bottle is equal to four quarts of the ordinary preparation-Prepsized and sold in pint bottles, 20s.: half-pints, 10%; and quarter-pints, 5s. 6d. by BUTLER and HARDING, Chemists, 4, Cheapside, corner of St. Paul's, London.

BUTLER'S TASTELESS SEIDLITZ POWDER, in one BottleThis useful aperient preparation, besides forming an equally efficient and far more agreeable Draught than that produed by the Com Seidlitz Powders, is made in much less time, and with Lidn'tdy Tess trouble. To allay fever or thirst, a teaspoonful in water forms a most refreshing Saline Draught. Being inclosed in a bottle, it will remain uninjured by humidity during the longest son voyage or land jea -Sold at 2s. 6d, the bottle (which is inclosed in a cass, and arcompani by a measure and spoon), by the preparers, BUTLER and HARDING Chemists, 4, Cheapside, corner of St. Paul's, London.
