They were, how- the Court dismissed the petition, on the ground ever, a legislative expression of opinion against the that the debtor came into court wholly for his length of deeds; and they contained a clause which, if we mistake not, is destined to bear good fruit.

A paper of questions will be delivered to each candidate, containing questions to be answered in writing: classed under the several heads of-1. Preliminary. 2.

Each candidate is required to answer all the preliminary questions (No. 1); and also to answer in three of the other heads of inquiry, viz., Common Law, Conveyancing, and Equity.

The examiners will continue the practice of proposing questions in Bankruptcy and in Criminal Law, and Proceedings before Justices of the Peace, in order that candidates who may have given their attention to those subjects may have the advantage of answering such questions, and having the correctness of their answers in those departments taken into con

examination.

It shows the effect of changes made during the year 1853. The chief item of increase is set down to the Post-office, in which department 1220 more persons have been engaged, at salaries amounting to 26,3587.; the convict establishment also has 109 more servants than in the previous year; the Customs, 67; Stamps and Taxes, 59. On the other hand, the Excise has 207 less, and the consequent saving in that depart ment is 24,7347.; but there is an increase in the same department under the head of "expenses," to the ex

were supported by Mr. F. Hill and Mr. M. D. Hill. Mr. Ayrton, observing that whatever the reformatory br. it is still a prison, expressed doubts whether prisons should be in the hands of voluntary committees, and an opinion that there is no reason why these children should not be subject to the same law as adults. Lord Brougham pointed out an oversight in one of the resolutions, by which a justice or justices might, with the consent of a child under fourteen, either sentence him to death for a capital crime, or send him to a reformatory institution, and by which a magistrate might inflict one day's imprisonment for manslaughter. It was resolved, that juvenile delinquents under sixteen (instead of fourteen, as originally proposed) should, by the tribunnals before which they are found guilty, be sent to reformatories, or subjected to the existing punishment, as in each case might be best. The report was referred back to the committee for revision.

1858 (16 & 17 Vict. c. 187) All trustees, in
cluding the great number of the clergy in
England, and all those in any way concerned in
the administration of charities, are interested in
knowing the scope, object, and machinery of the
charity commission, and the form which the
law now takes in relation to charities.

beyond all compare the most complete of the
Mr. Francis's volume, although, the latest, is
works which the new law has produced for the
use of practitioners. It is not merely an edition
of the statute; it is a collection of the existing
law on the subject of charities, comprising the
statutes and cases. It opens with seven intro-
ductory chapters-which treat of charity estates
generally; present an able analysis of the new
Act; describe the jurisdiction of the Court, and
the duties and offices of the Treasurer of Public
the legal proceedings to be taken therein; define
Charities and Official Trustee; give full instruc-

carrying them out; show how the accounts of
trustees are to be kept and rendered-and lastly,
set forth the exempted charities, endowed, volun-

AN AMERICAN JUDGE.-The Honourable Judge Anthony has been requested by all the bar and a jury at Newcastle, in Indiana, to resign his seat on the bench. The bar, in a general address and in individual speeches, told the judge they must decline acting in any cause before him; one barrister avowed the high personal respect he entertained for the judge as a gentleman and a tavern-keeper; but jus-tary, and mixed. tice required him to say that he regarded the present incumbent of the bench as utterly unqualified for the place he occupied, and he hoped he would resign. Others favoured the judge with their opinion of his "incapacity." He heard them with great nonchalance, and promised to "consider" the matter. Finally, a compromise was arranged the judge is not to go to Newcastle again, but to send a substitute.

superior remedies for the cure of Sores and Wounds.-Letitia Philips, of Langum, South Wales, injured her arm so severely when out in the boat dredging for oysters, that she was unable to use it for several months afterwards, continually suffering the most excruciating pain. In the hopes of deriving some benefit, she tried surgeon after surgeon all round the country, but neither of them could heal the wounds--in fact, every available remedy was tried without any good effect. Holloway's Ointment and Pills were then resorted to, and these invaluable medicines soon effected a perfect cure, and the injured part can scarcely be observed.-Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor HOLLOWAY'S Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
