The metropolis storm etr p o o f l w i s i wind r a o n u d g r h a o i u n t which the gr eSweptater o;e r r t the t whole e yesterday has been productive of the most disasti Qua consequences, not alone in exposed quarters, b ut also in the most sheltered spots. The gee corn _ menced at an early hour in the mor ning , and soon made itself perceptible in the river, which assum e d the aspect of the sea itself, so strong was the force of the wind and rain. It was with the greatest diffi.. catty the steamers could be navigated between London-bridge and Chelsea, while below the bridga many of the vessels broke from their moorings, a 4,1 at much personal risk the others were secures, From inquiries made at the various shipping dep o t s last night it was ascertained that several vessels due in the middle of the day had not arrived, and it was supposed, or at least hoped, they had lain to, while several which should have left the docks. we r e obliged to stay till the storm had abated. It 'Was reported that a steamer and a collier vessel had come into violent collision just below London-bridge, by which two men, in consequence of tho shock, fell overboard, one being, by dint of great exertion s saved, and the other unfortunately drowned, but no authentic particulars could be gleaned. In the afternoon a man named Thompson, about thirty-five years of age, while proceeding down the Caledonian-road, was felled to the ground, by a portion of a large chimney pot, which was forced by the wind from the top of a house, and falling on the poor fellow's head caused a Isg ff • 1- 1 u scalp wound, T-T --e w as • immediately conveyed to a doctor's, end was afterwards taken t o hi s reA dence at Kentish -town in tion. Another accident, and whichati insensible condi.. will prove fatal, h a p pened in Seven itis exPcelDa Dials, where an old woman, aged about seventy, was injured i n a s imilar manner, but m ore . severely, and from inlk quiries made it is expected that she will not recover-. At Notting-,iill and Shepherd's-bush the force of the whirl and rain was very severely felt, more especially in the temporary buildings and ginss hothouses of the innumerable gardeners who keep establishments there. In several places a large: amount of property had been destroyed, and in the grounds of the Messrs. Zimmerman two of the hothouses were blown down. At Chelsea, to o , similar injury is reported to have occurred; whil e in Dulwich, Peckham, and Camberwell tho property destroyed will amount to a large sum. The Suspected Murder and Robbery at LimeheAse. EXTBAORVNARY STATEMENT. Yesterday the 'police obtained information which tends to thro7.. some light on the mystery surround ing the der.,th of the late Mr. John Driscoll, whose body v:as found in the river Lea at Limehouse, ona.er circumstances that gave rise to an inference that he had been robbed and murdered. It will be remembered that the deceased gentle man, who was connected with engineering works at Corunna, in Spain, had arrived in England only three days, when he suddenly disappeared on the 30th of October. Though a reward was offered for any information respecting him none could be obtained until his body was found last Mondhy in the river Lea. In his pockets were found a pair of soldier's gloves, pipeclayed, and marked 14 H, 330. About £lB that he was known to have had in his possession was missing, but 18s. and a silver watch were in his pockets. The family expressed their apprehensions that the deceased had been rob bed and foully dealt with, because he had on the day of his disappearance mentioned that while be was getting a draft for £55 cashed at Messrs. Huth and Co.'s, in Moorgate-street, a man watched him, and afterwards followed him, and put his hands into his pocket. He had requested his:aunt .to take charge of about £4O of the money for him while he went out to take a walk on Black_ wall pier, saying that he feared that the man was still watching him. He then went out, and was no more seen. He had come to England about the purchase of machinery for the lighting of the town of Corunna with gas. He was of sober habits, Hi s friends feared that he had been drugged and robbed, sth e and the strange circu mstance of a p ai r of soldier' s gloves being found in h is p ocke ts and £lB being missing gave the case a ve r y s i nister asie.,et.

The. 2. It. FITZROY. Scuttling of a British Ship and Murder of the Captain and Officers by the Crew. Yesterday the subjoined despatches were re ceived by Captain Halstead, R.N., secretary of L'oyd's, from the Admiralty, respecting the wilful scuttling of the British ship Flowery Land, of Lon don, bound to Singapore, and the murder of her master and officers ; Admiralty, Dec. 1. Sir,—l am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to transmit to yuu herewith, for the informa tion of the Committee for Managing the Affairs of Lloyd's, copy of a despatch from the Rear-Admiral Warren, report ing that a party of 14 seamen had landed in two boats near the eni ranee of the River Plate, and that one of them had given information to the authorities that they were part of the crew of the English merchant vessel Flowery Land, who had mutinied and murdered the captain and other per sons.-1 am, sir, &c., W. G. ROMAINE." Saulettite, Monte Video, Oct. 28, 1863. My Lord,—On the 18th inst. Mr. Letteon, her Majesty's Charge d'Affairs at Monte Video, acquainted me he had re orifitell information - 1W 14 Neiman had landed in two boats on the coast near the entrance of the River Plate, and from the statement made by one of them they were part of the crew of an English merchant vessel who had mutinied and killed the master and several , others. Mr. Lettson having requested me to assist him in gettieg the men up to this place, the Government authorities here having agreed to deliver them over to us at Maldonado, and despatched the Curlew clipper on the 23d inst. to bring them up, and I forward for their lordglaips' information the follow ing summary of the statement the Minister of the Interior here has received from the local judge at Roches, a town about five leagues from the coast where the men were made prisoners :—On the 9th Oct. 11 persons landed in two boats near Castillos, and stated they were part of the crew of the American ship Maria, wrecked on the passage from Peru to Bordeaux, with a cargo of guano, and that shortly after leaving the wreck the boat with the captain and several others parted company; they were provided with food, &c. On the 15th J. Taller, who had left the party some days previously from fear of assassination, appeared before the local judge and stated that he was the boatswain of the English merchant vessel Flowery Land, that the other men were the crew of that ship, who had mutinied and killed the captain, chief mate, and several others. They then com pelled him as the only person on board who could navigate to take the ship to the mouth of the River Plate, and en sighting Cape Maria they scuttled the vessel and landed in the boats. The captain's name was G. Smith. The ship was bound from London to Singapore. He (Taffer) was afraid of his life, as the others would kill him to prevent his giving information, so he had left them. On this statement they were made prisoners, but one of them James Wilson, had left the party previously. The Curlew has just returned with the individuals above referred to as prisoners, but there is no time to make any further inquiry into the case before the sailing of the mail steamer. As far, however, as I can at present ascertain there seems little reason to doubt the correctness of the statement made by the boat swain of the vessel.—l have the honour to be, &c.. RICHARD WARREN. The ship Flowery Land sa iled from Gravesend for Singapore on the 20th July. She was about 400 tons register, and her cargo appears to be largely insured. Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. In consequence of the severity of the weather the iron screw steamship Black Prince, 41, Capt. J. - B. Wainwright, was prevented on Tuesday and yesterday from proceeding from Hamoaze into the Sound. When the gale veered round yesterday morning to north-west, it caught the corrugated iron roofing on No. 2 building slip in the Devonport dock yard, and carried large portions of it over the high walls into the town of Devonport. Some of it fell on the roofs of the houses in Mutton-cove, and some was carried into the river. The wooden framing, part of which is 12ft long by Sin thick, was driven into the roofs of the houses, and in one case a chimney was knocked down. Portions of the corru gated iron are rolled up on the roof of the building slip like paper, and some of the lead on the roof of the sail loft has been blown off. The gates of Keyham steamyard have been thrown down, boats are crushed alongside the ships of war in Hamoaze, and the traffic of the passenger steamers be tween North Corner and Saltash was for a time suspended, There are no casualties to report among the naval and mer cantile shipping. The direction of the gale was not likely to damage them in this port, but great fears are entertained at Plymouth for the safety of ships in the Bristol Channel. The iron screw steam troopship Tamar, 2,812 tons, 500 horse power, Capt. F. H. Stirling, having been minutely in spected at her moorings in Sheerness harbour by Capt. the Hon. J, B. Drummond, C. 8., one of the Lords of the Ad miralty, and Capt. W. B. Mends, C. 8., director of trans ports, was taken out to sea for a few hours' run on Monday, as a preliminary trial of her engines. On the following day she:steamed to the measured mile off Maplin Sands to undergo an official trial of speed, &c., in charge of Capt. W. K. Hall, commanding the Sheerness steam reserve, there being also present Mr. G. Blaxland, chief engineer of Sheerness dock yard, Mr. Urquhart, chief engineer, and Messrs. Ravenhill and Elliott, of the firm of Ravenhill, Salkeld, and Co., manu facturers of the engines. Six runs were made with full boiler•power at the measured mile, giving an average speed of 10.778 knots an hour ; pressure of steam, 251 b; vacuum, 2411 b; and revolution of engines, 52 per minute. At half boiler power the vessel made two runs at a speed of 9'290 knots, with 46 revolutions of engines. The circle was turned at full speed, with helm 24 deg. to port, in 9m, 25., with 50 revolutions of engines, the diameter of the circle being 1,28) yards. The vessel is fitted with horizontal direct act ing engines, which worked in an excellent manner, there being an entire absence of priming or hot bearings, and plenty of steam. The propeller is Griffiths's patent, with a pitch variable from 25 to 30 feet. On the trial the pitch was 27ft. 6in,, and the diameter 18 feet. The draught of water. both forward and aft, was 22ft. 4in. The wind was from the SSW., with a force of from 5 to 6, and the sea was rough. The screw was lifted from its place and replacad with rapi dity and precision; and the trial, both as regards vessel and machinery, gave the greatest satisfaction. The Tamar will be inspected to-day by Vice-Admiral Sir G. R. Lambert, K.C.B, Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness, and will pro ceed to sea on Saturday, when it is believed she will sail for the lonian Islands, to fetch home the troops at present sta tioned there. The 14-gun ship Trusty, floating battery, 1,539 tons and 150 horse power, fitted about two years ago at Woolwich with Capt. Coles's cupola, with a view to experiments afloat at Shoeburyness, is still lying at Woolwich, and encumber ing the inner fitting basin of the dockyard. An engineer and a party of working men are constantly employed in the care of the machinery and at the pumps to prevent her filling. The expense thus incurred in the maintenance of the Trusty, which has been pronounced to be utterly worthless for any purpose afloat, is stated to exceed £3OO per annum. The freightship Guide has arrived at Woolwich from Malta, and has commenced unshipping her cargo, which consists of soldiers' clothing, military tents, shot, engineers tools, &c. The Steam Reserve Commission continued their labours at Portsmouth yard yesterday, attended by their secretary, Mr. W. Hickman, R.N. Five hundred able seamen have been selected from the books of the Coastguard ships in the Portsmouth district, and are held in readiness for service in sea-going ships. A number of second-class lads, about 60, were yesterday mustered by Capt. Lysaght on board the Fisgard at Wool wich, and were transferred by train to Portsmouth, for instruction in the flagship Victory. The number now entered on the Fisgard's books, and who are distributed to the various flagships at Chatham, Sheerness, Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Pembroke, averages about 25 weekly, the required number being 60 per week. A telegraphic message was received at Portsmouth Dock yard yesterday from the Admiralty containing orders for the authorities to select 25 riggers from the dockyard and for ward them to Chatham, where their services are required to assist in expending the outfit of the Bombay screw line-of battle ship, now fitting for commission at that 3 ard. A naval court-martial assembled yesterday on board her Majesty's ship Victory, at Portsmouth, for the trial of James Anderson, sick berth attendant on board her Majesty's ship Malacca, on charge of insubordination and disobedience of orders. The court was composed of Capt. W. S. Chamber lain, president; Capts. Seceombe, Hire, and Bowden, and Commander Phelps. The court found the.charges proved, and sentenced the prisoner to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour, and at the end of the term of imprisonment to be dismissed with disgrace from her Majesty's service. We have to record the death of Admiral Sir James Han way Plumridge, K.C.8., at the ago of 76. The deceased was educated at the Naval Academy, Chelsea, and entered the navy in 1799. He served in Egypt in 1801, and at Trafalgar in 1805. In 1806 he was made a lieutenant, and commanded the boats of the Melpomene frigate at the cap- Danishflr Isle s t l t i u e r u e t e o n f a n a tof the m m e a n n e - l o a f; s w f a r r i g c a u t t e t e a r t in thelBtoa2k. n g H o e f w t h a s e of France. He was aide-de-camp to the commander-in chief at the capture of Genoa in 1814, and for his services was promoted to be commander in 1814 . Subsequently he commanded vessels on the Indian, St. Helena, and Irish sta tions, and was made post-captain for his services against smugglers on the coast of Ireland. He was captain of the Magicienne frigate, in India for several years, and was cap tain-superintendent at Falmouth five years. This office he resigned on becoming Storekeeper-General of the United Kingdom. From 1841 to 1847 he represented the borough of Falmouth and Penrhyn in the House of Commons. In 1854 he took the command of the flying squadron in the Gulf of Bothnia as rear-admiral, and three years afterwards succeeded to the second command in the Baltic Fleet. He served at the capture of Bomarsund, and subsequently com manded two detached squadrons. He was appointed Ad miral Superintendent of Devonport Dockyard in 1855, and Rear-Admiral of the Red in 1856. The deceased Admiral was married three times—first, in 1821, to the daughter of Rear-Admiral Hart; second, in 1835, to the daughter of the Right Hon. Hugh Elliott ; and, third, 1849, to the daughter of Col. &inner, of the Royal Artillery. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander Francis A. Hume, to the Vic tory; Commander Henry Fairfax, to the Resistance; Lieutenant James D. Curtis, to the Egmont ; Lieutenant Arthur C. Curtis, to the Black Brince ; George T. Temple, George Trower, and Charles R. Congreve, rai lshipmen, to the Euryalus; David L. Dickson, Frederick S. Pelly, Frank R. Robinson, and Ed ward T.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—You have aided practical meteorology so efficiently that I am now induced to ask for your publication of the following memorandum, as a general answer to very numerous ob3ervations and questions. As the public pay for what' is effected in our international meteorologic telegraphy, all have a claim to "know the reason why." Your obedient servant, London, Dec. 2. R. FITZROY. FORECASTS OP WEATHER. Many persons have asked questions about forecasts of weather and their principles. Some have impugned their accura cy, and a few have demurred to their having any claim to a really scientific basis. No doubt that as very different views of atmospheric com motions or changes are taken by able men, such subjects may scarcely seem worth their earnest attention, because as yet they have not been brought to the verification of a rigid mathematical analysis. But to metaphysical inquiries, and to other researches or avocations, indispensably useful, one might take objection, and decline their study on similar grounds. Meteorology not only abounds in physical facts, excessively useful as well as interesting, but it demands an extensive range of intellectual and extremely comprehensive considerations. One cannot take it into full use without duo study; yet who is there without an independent opinion of the wea ther, and perhaps too littl e un d erstoo d barometric indica -Veils P Having ascertained that the principal atmospheric currents are incessantly in more or less circuitous but mutually opposed progress, sometimes side by side but in contrary directions, sometimes superposed, one or other being nearest eart4's surface, temporarily, and always having lateral as well as direct progression, we have a clue to their dynametry by observations at distant stations and by telegraphing to a centre, somewhat like that which might be given in a tid a l es t uary by ships swinging in advancing or receding tide streams to an observer at a fixed station. • By the tension or barometric pressure, the temperature and other characteristics of the air at each station—by the approximate knowledge now possessed of the set, turn, or progression of atmospheric currents—of their relative breadth horizontally, and of the circuitous eddies usually, or often, between their edges or boundaries—one may tell what conditions of air exist within some hundred miles a sweep of 500 m il es from London (as a cen t re ), ar and, around—say, n ywhich a is of far more value, what changes or move rcents are imp en di ng. The capability of doing this for about two days in advance rests on the proved fact of a general lateral transla tion towards the east in the Temperate Zone, while north erly, southerly, or other (mixed) currents of air are in very various movement, the practical results on earth's surface being usually composite motions. By thus estimating the atmospheric area above, around, and within some hundred miles of us; by statical observa tions at the same hour, and by summary calculations of a dynamic character, all the principal motions and changes are brought within the grasp of forecast. But this applies only to general and principal averages, not to local peculiarities or special disturbances so limited in nature that they do not affect more than a few score miles expanse of atmosphere. It ought to be kept in mind that broad shallow cur rents are the chief aerial features, below or between or among which there can be vacancy, unless momentarily, as when a violent blast of wind is caused by a sudden (ap proximate) vacuum; and that when currents act against each other (gravity restraining upward motion) their ten dency is to cause more or less rotation. The lamented Espy said that winds always set from the place of higher barometer towards that of lower, but he also said (which some writers seem to have overlooked) that the meeting of such winds causes a circuitous effect. Espy's views accord with those of the authoritative Dove and our own illustrious Herschel. The word cyclone has been so associated with storm that few persons attach to it now the simple and ancient sense of circuit and circuitous. Without duly following the progress and ultimate desti nation of material fluid air having great bulk, infinite elas ticity, and more or less vis inettio, or rather momentum, according to mechanical laws, some persons have imagined that air currents intermix, as if unresistingly, instead of opposing each other for a time, especially if in rapid motion, just like the currents of water in a river or in the sea. Air streams in opposition must deflect or turn each other, or go upwards (against gravitation). Without a general, lateral, or tranameridinal movement, or translation of atmosphere towards the east in the tempe rate zones, but westward in the intertropical regions, in ad. dition to meridianal movements from and towards the poles (of which full explanations are given elsewhere), it would not be possible to forecast the character of wind and weather beyond one day's interval It is the prescience of dynamic consequences, arising out of statical facts, that enables a really scientific calculation of probabilities to be made. Cer tainly it is not yet attainable, but a fair average probability, for a certain area or district, is already within our reach. Out of these forecasts spring the cautionary notices of im pending storms. It is by a continuous observation of the changes and in dications of change that we are now enabled to decide and direct with confidence. Without such a generally informed state we should often be surprised, as we should derive our warnings solely from distant stations, and should nit be able as now fre quently to warn even outposts such as Nairn, Valencia, or Rochefort. That errors have occurred, that we have been too slow, or have given warning where it seemed to have been un necessary, may appear to have been unavoidable in such new and tentative experiments. But there have been four special causes of occasional failure, which ought to be fairly considered. 1. A watch having been officially set to report on the results of each cautouary signal, has somewhat discou raged such speedy action as might otherwise have been taken in signalling, but a record of their inutility should be complied, rather than the contrary. 2. Public offices are not open on Sundays, and only a few principal telegraph stations are then available. Hence there is sometimes unavoidable delay between Saturday and Monday. 3. No one or two persons can be always at their station all the year round from morning to night. Tho new sub ject of forecasting and warning is hardly yet so familiar to many persons, however zealous, as it may be in due time. Lastly, the telegraph offices are not open in general till 8 or 9 in the morning or after those hours at night; therefore official communications are o n ly practicable over so w id e a range as ours between those times of the day. To communicate between Nairn or Valentia or Roche fort and our office in London usually takes about two hours in actual practice. For proofs of what has been thus stated, perhaps too dogmatically, about the movements of air currents and their literal translation, I would suggest a reference to published works, except in one recent and very remarkable instance. Daring the storm of last October 29-30, such remarkably sudden and violent shifts of wind took place, about th e same time, at many places in a nearly meridional direction across England, between or by Oxford, Greenwich, Notting ham, and other places, that to meteorologists even they seemed unaccountable; but, if we contemplate parallel cur rents, side by side, moving rap idl y in u p n p ee o d sit d e iff d er ir e e n c t t l i y ons by , and having also a lateral move ment to the eastward, suc h sudden and meridional changes m a y become as easy t o c ora . prehend as those so well describe d b y aeronauts who p asse d i out of one stratum or current of air into anot her, so closely superposed that while the balloo n was tilted (dragged as id e as it were) by the one, the car was influenced the other. Tbis momentary effect was accompanied by a rushing sound, like that of a torrent of water. These currents had different temperatures, electric characters, degrees of dry ness or moisture, and horizontal motions. The sound, caused by pressure and friction, is suggestive of various ideas in connexion with heat and electric considerations, inadmis sible here. In this case, of course, the representative of an observa tory moved vertically through horizontal air currents, at times differing in velocity (referred to earth's surface) from some 30 to 60 miles an hour. In the former instance— that of a land station, the currents were separated vertically, their division passing across any place suddenly, but hori zontally. At the present time our meteorological communications are utilised, and highly appreciated on the Continent. At about 10 o'clock in the morning (as soon as in Lon don) Paris receives notices of wind and weather, from our most distant stations, and distributes them, Two hours afterwards the French Government despatches our forecasts, and (if any) cautionary notices to more than 18 stations on the coasts of France. This British system has, therefore, incurred a large re sponsibility. established in 1855, w ith a " What does it cos t ?" is, of course, a frequ en t quest i on. the Th A e A m l d e ir t a e l o t r y olo li g k i e c w al i - s o e ffi , c w e a o s f the Board of T ra d e, an d f or yearly estimate of £4,200.

There Remunerator blundered, and sent Knott " a purler," who, however, for tunately escaped injury. This accident left Corkscrew with the lead, followed by Lisbon, Bravo, and Miss Maria to the bottom by the wood, where Lisbon took a decided lead, and came up the hill to the big "bullfinch" on i ts brow, which he took a dozen lengths in advance of Cork screw, immediately in whose rear came the other two, side by side, a long way behind followed Harkaway.

There were present—The At t °They-General, the Solicitor- General, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, M.P., Sir Hugh Cairns, M.P., Mr. Malins, M.P., the Hon. Gee. Denman, Mr. Macqueen, Q.C., Mr. Anderson, Q.C., Mr. Baggallay, Q.C., Mr. Shapter, Q.C., Mr. Wilicock, Q.C., Mr. Gifford, Q.C., Mr. Daniel, Q,C., &c. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Sir Roundel' Palmer, m.P.), who occupied the chair, said that all present were aware of the cause of their meeting that day. lle had r ece i ve d a very numerously s i gned requiei lion from members o f th e b ar t o ca ll th e p resen t meeting. The subject was one for the common benefit of all, and he had invited them to come together to discuss it. Having done what was gene rally required, he would call on Mr. Daniel to pro pose the first resolution. Mr. DANIEL said the resolution he had placed in the hands of the Attorney-General was, " That, in the opinion of this meeting, the present system of preparing, editing, and publishin g th e repor t s o f judicial decisions in this country requires amend ment." The question was —are the bar satisfied with the present system ? He he.d no doubt but that the opinion of the meeting was that it required some amendment. If the proposition affected the interests of those who are at present engag e d i n t h e publication of reports, those interests should not be interfered with without proper compensation ; but, if in the public interest, a sweeping change should be required, the sooner it took place the better. Our system of law consisted of two parts, the written and the unwritten ; one the acts of Parliament, and the other the reports. The same law or unwritten law was left in the hands of private individuals, the pre sent reporters, which he considered a most fatal system. The learned gentleman then went on to describe the history of reporting in this country. He said that at one period, a long time ago, the la ,V !Nos officially reported by official persons employed by the State up to the 27th of Henry VIII., when the year-book ceased; the reason these official reports ceased was that Henry VIII. had other requirements for the public money. What was the consequence? rhe reports became inaccurate, end loosely con ducted. From the time of Henry VIII. till the end of the reign of Elizabeth there were only the works of Plowden and Coke, which could hardly he called reports; from the time of Sir Edward Coke we passed to Lord Bacon, who in 15th James 1., 1617, odtained letters patent from the King for the pur pose of appointing two official reporters. The reign of Charles 1., and during the Commonwealth, was a period unfavourable for law reporting, during which reporting was at its worst. At the Restora tion, 13th and 14th Charles 11., an Act was passed, directing that no report of law cases should be pub lished without the special licence of the Lord Chan cellor or some other judge, which continued till. 1692—he might say almost till Lord Mansfield was elevated to the bench. But the public required the decisions quickly reported. Under the old system of official reporters many cases were not reported till 20 years after the judgments had been given, and when the judges were dead. In 1822 a gentle man of the name of Paget, a solicitor of great expe rience, knowing how difficult it was to obtain re ports at any reasonable time after judgment, started a paper called the Law Journal, In this tion the members of the profession could stain, at a small cost, and more accurate thPM from news papers, and with greater expedit'ion than from the authorised reports, the various decisions of the judges in the different courts. In 1832 a new and better system was established. Sixteen gentlemen of the bar were employed in reporting for this pub lication. We had now what were called authorised reports, which were, however, nothing more than private undertakings for commercial profit; and he contended that the decisions of the judges in all great cases should not be entrusted to private enterprise, but should be paid for and published by the State. There were now the Jurist, Law Times, Weekly Reporter, New Reports, S:c., all the offspring of competition, and the Law Amendment Society had called attention to this fact in 1849. The evil was one of long standing. Everyone complained of the system, and ho con tended that the State was in fault. Ia 1853, Mr. E wart gave notice of a motion in the House of Com mons on the subject of law reporting, but the sub ject was so dry that he believed the motion had dropped. In bringing forward the question, he assured the members of the profession that he had no object except to benefit the bar; and he was certain that the present system might be improved by them to their own advantage and the public benefit. Sir FITZROY KELLY said that the deep interest he took in this subject induced him to second the resolution, and he was glad to sea the meeting so numerously attended by the members of the profes sion. Ho went on to say that the evils had been pointed out, and it was fur them to consider what was the best remedy. He thought there should be one report only of each decision. At present there were conflicting reports of the same judgments de livered by the same judge. There were often five or six reports of the same case in different public tions,each of which was materially different. His opinion was, that if official reports were published within three months of the judgment , the public, as well as the profession, had a righ t to insist that these reports should be issued in the cheap est p us o sible form. He thought a committez with power to communicate with the be appointed to consider the matter. e o n f ch, thesh bar,ul d Mr. GEMMET opposed th e motion on the ground contended of monopoly. He that law reporting was in no way different from other literary pub lications. Mr. WEBSTER ad mitted that the present s y stem was bad, but he sa id the proposed measure wou l d not give us bar rep orts but judge-made re p orts . He was that liberty not prepared to deny to th e b ar which they had so long enjoyed. No one e ver could in this cou ntr y p revent com p e tition, The H on , GEORGE DENMAN said th at, in op'llion if the reports were settled by th e judges it werewatched wou ld be most unsafe. At present they by a mos t intelligent class of men, who reported all that took place in court, which, in his opinion, was a great check upon the jud ges, and he for one did not believe that we could do anything to improve the present system. It would indeed be a bad system to trust to the judges for reports, or trust to the officials whom it was proposed to appoint. They would have no interest •in furnishing accurate re ports. Tne guarantee for accuracy was competition. If the present reports were not correct, no one would buy them, and the present proposal would interfere with free trade in reports. He protested against the sta t e paying for reporting. In his opinion the State had nothing to do with reporting. Mr. INCE said he considered the general public hail nothing to do with the question. The profes sion had nothing to find fault with in the present reports, which had existed for 30 or 40 years. He did not think that we ought to disturb the present system. Mr. MALINS would not sanction a monopoly in law reporting. He believed that the system o f re porting was best when the sayings and doin gso. the the judges were reported. He strongly ed of idea of appointing a Government reporter. His opinion was that the committee about propose no to be ap pointed would report that th e y could better system of law reporting. _ 7..11 _ e and Mr. Mr. Tennison Edwards , Mr. Wt k W. G.
