Fleet street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication.

THE Times, the Pall Mall Gazette, and some others of the newspapers, are charged with contempt of the Court of Chancery, in the publication of an article which was stated by them to be an abstract of the bill filed by the claimant, but which his solicitors assert to be a misrepresentation of the case and calculated to inflict an injury on the plaintiff's case by possibly prejudicing those who will be required to decide it. The story as thus told is most romantic, and few modern trials will equal it in interest. The narrative of our contemporaries would have been deemed wild and improbable in a sensation novel. The Court must direct a trial of it by jury, and then the public will be admitted to audience. VICE-CHANCELLOR WOOD has decided that the comments. SEVERAL Belgian avocats visited the courts at THE Select Committee of the House of Com- CREDITORS OF COMPANIES. worse. More Chief Clerks can only make matters If two send to the Judge more work than he can despatch, three will overwhelm him. The temporary business of winding-up produces a great present increase of pressure upon the Chief Clerks, and they probably require some temporary assistance, which should be supplied to them. But the substantial hindrance is the insufficiency of Equity Judges, and for this there is no substitute, nor any prospect of relief. It will be worse still year by year, and as another Equity Judge has become a necessity, it would have been wise to meet the acknowledged evil with a permanent cure. THE TRADES UNION TRIALS. THE trial of the trades-unionists for conspiracy, appointed for the last sitting of the Central Criminal Court, was postponed at the application of the defendants, upon an express agreement made by their counsel, after conference with the committee conducting the defence, that the practice of picketing, which was the subjectmatter of the indictment should be discontinued in the meantime. Having by this pledge obtained this act of grace from the reluctant prosecutor, and the still more reluctant Judge, as soon as the session was so far advanced as to make the trial impossible, a meeting of the union was called, the agreement made by their counsel with the | favour of the second solution-the purchase of It would be a waste of words to denounce as it deserves this monstrous breach of faith. But it involves a consequence for which the union is probably not prepared. The engagement was made for them by their counsel, acting with the consent of their officers. Counsel, indeed, are not personally responsible for breaches of faith by their clients. But the etiquette of the Bar is, in accordance with the promptings of honour in such a case, indignantly to refuse any further connection with the party placing them in so unpleasant a position. Mr. COLERIDGE and his colleagues must now throw up their briefs; and no barrister who valued his reputation could accept that which they have been thus compelled to resign. THE BANKRUPTCY BILL. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL has abandoned this Bill for the present Session. After the protracted debates on the Reform Bill, such a course was inevitable. The House of Commons was not disposed to accept it en bloc, and a discussion of its clauses in committee must have been so hurried that justice would not be done to the Doubtless among them will be the excision of the lodger franchise. Objectionable as it is, not politically, but practically, for reasons stated in another article, it is not likely to be rejected by indignation that so much should have been made of them. while equal offenders, like Governor EYRE and the Magistrates at Marlborough-street, were excused and even applauded. He admits that his language was injudicious, and the Spectator, which has volunteered a defence by anticipation, confesses that it was. THE CHANCERY APPEAL COURT.

Something is due to its own character as well as to that of its pupils. the House. many difficult and debatable provisions that might make with advantage. Many parts of the history is the subject which, beyond all others, must be included in any measure calculated for permanency. We are glad of it for this reason also, that it has not been as yet properly considered by the lawyers, who are necessarily the most competent critics. The overwhelming interest of the Reform Bill has absorbed attention, and the details of the scheme have not been subjected to the slightest revision by those who could best suggest amendments. It will be the principal measure of the Session which must precede the dissolution of the present and the assembling of the new Parliament, and, with the approval of the Profession, we propose to devote the interval to a minute examination, section by section, of the Bill as it is; and, with the assistance of our many experienced readers, whose communications we invite, to point out such defects as may be discovered, and suggest such amendments and improvements as may present themselves in the course of the investigation. All criticisms and hints proceeding from the lawyers will, we can venture to promise them, be received with pleasure by the new ATTORNEY-GENERAL, and will be adopted, if upon consideration they are found to promote the great work of Bankruptcy Law Reform. But there are some amendments which the Lords Bill are very badly expressed, and would give rise to much doubt and difficulty in construction. The clause defining the lodger franchise is extremely loose. The definition of a lodger is imperfect. The object is to give the franchise to persons who occupy for a whole year lodgings that would unfurnished let for 107. per annum. How is the Revising Barrister to ascertain this? Ninetenths of all the lodgers whom this clause enfranchises occupy furnished lodgings. What evidence is to establish their value without the furniture? In large places, either there will be enormous fraud if slight proof of this be accepted, or if the claimant is put to strict proof the inquiry will extend to such length that registration will be the work, not of days, but of weeks, and even months! Say there are a thousand lodgers in Marylebone. How long will it occupy the Revising Barrister to hear each case? And yet must each be separately proved by witnesses, for there exists no public document, like the rate-book, which is prima facie proof of being a householder. Then, should a single room qualify? Certainly not. As the clause stands it does so. We are not sure that joint occupiers of a single room might not be admitted under the clause as it is. The Lords should amend this by requiring not less than two rooms. THE GAS ACTS. THE GOVERNMENT BILL has been rejected by voting by voting papers, but limiting it to perThe Lords should also re-introduce the plan of the gas companies of London. The fundamental sons being at the time of the election at a disprinciple of the Bill is the regulation of the tance of not less than ten miles from the place of monopoly which the companies possess by fixing election. The objections are many and grave to the the price which they are to charge for gas. The use of voting papers by resident electors, though companies cannot agree with the select com- these were much magnified. But there is absomittee as to the price, and it is said that Parlia-lutely no objection whatever to non-residents so ment intends to proceed with the Bill, leaving the price blank. This would be simply absurd. Mr. R. H. PATTERSON has just published a paper making suggestions for the better regulation of gas companies, which seem to us deserving of attention. Reviewing past legislation, he is of opinion that the principle of the Act of 1860 is fundamentally erroneous; that the fixing the price of gas was a mistake; for as soon as companies have raised their profits to the legal maximum, 10 per cent., the Act takes away all motive for effecting further economy. Mr. PATTERSON then suggests that the main point of calculation or arrangement by a select committee should be the amount of dividend to be allowed to the companies as a minimum or starting point. He thinks that 8 per cent. is the highest starting point that ought to be allowed them. Beyond that point they should share their profits with the public. The second solution of the difficulty which Mr. PATTERSON proposes is that the municipality should buy up the rights of the companies at a fair price. The only change in the system which this would entail, would be that the present amount of the gas-rate would be collected by the municipality, and paid to the shareholders of the companies as interest on the bonds, instead of being collected by the companies themselves and paid by them as dividends to their shareholders. These suggestions are not altogether new, but in the paper to which we have alluded, the details of the arrangements are laid down with valuable perspicuity. We should certainly be in voting. It would put an end to the greatest The demand of rate clause is extremely clumsy. needless provision. PROFESSOR BEESLY. THE Council of the University of London is THE SHREWSBURY COUNTY COURT. IT is with very great regret that we frequently receive letters and extracts from local newspapers which reveal the existence of a most unsatisfactory state of feeling between the Judge of the Shrewsbury Court, the attorneys, and apparently a considerable section of the public. Until a useful rule of practice was, as it appeare to us, jeopardised, we declined to comment upon the proceedings of the court, and we deal with: the subject now with the single purpose of assisting to bring about, if possible, a reconciliation of parties. That reconciliation, or a renewal of at least courteous relationship, must be brought about if the business of the Court is to be conducted with advantage is quite obvious. The charges made against the learned Judge are stated in a leading article by The Shrewsbury Free Press of Saturday last. They appear to be first, that he is opposed to the jury system: secondly, that he introduced a rule which required the defence to be indicated at the opening of the case for the plaintiff; thirdly, that his judgments are inconsistent with the evidenc adduced before him; and fourthly, that h strongly dislikes attorneys, and particularly those who practise in his Court. We, of course are obliged to take much upon trust, but wher we are furnished with evidence, it is fair that it should be published. "The case of Jones Hammonds, heard on Monday last," says the Fre Press, "furnishes an illustration" (of a judgmen irreconcileable with the evidence). "The fact lie in a nutshell. Plaintiff avers that he and defendant purchased, by previous agreement, number of beasts at a sale, which were to b again sold and the profit or loss borne betwee them. The sale resulted in a loss, and defendan then refused to pay his share, and upon being sued for it denies the arrangement in toto. 1 statement, however, lacks confirmation, wherea on the part of the plaintiff there are two wit nesses who gave corroborative evidence of material points, and the important statement o the auctioneer's clerk that JONES and HAMMOND acted in concert in the purchase of the cattle, HAM MONDS marking some, and accompanying JONE for the ticket. Here, then, is a conflict of testimony but there are three against one, and the balance c probability, every candid reader will see, is un questionably upon plaintiff's side. Yet Mr. SMIT nonsuits the plaintiff a most remarkable and we will add, baseless decision. He urges tha |
