ON THE MODERN INNOV kTIONS IN THE PRAC TICE OF THE LAW-BY THE EMPLOYMENT OF CERTIFICATE D CONVEYANCERS. It is not perhaps sufficiently known, that in the -early part of last Session a petition was presented to the House of Commons, praying for the Le- gislative suppression of -a grie, , ance, which, though gradual and almost unobserved in its pro gress, is fraught with the most setiot:s danger. The [louse has heen informed, that many un edneated and ungitifified persons have taken on themselves the occupatiun of Conveyancers, to the great detrinwirt of the regular' practitioners, and the still 'greater injury of the community. As the inhjett ‘vill prob:ibly be revived in tio. ensuing Session, we feel it a duty to make public those considerations which occur to us on a (pies- tion so pectilierly interesting. It appears very stisilLe, that while no man, without a clerkship of five years, and the payment of Stamp Duties, and Ad►nission Fees of tiearly one bundled awl lilt y pounds, can practice as an Attorney or Solicitor, the mere entrance into an Inn of Couri; which may be obtained without ttitlier time or study for a few pounds, should trictli:y any man for the_tunctions of a Convey incer ; and, that iudividnals of the lowest trades and classes. in life, have actually availed themselves' of this oversight of the Law—tor we can term it nothing else ;—and have set up for privileged COnvs!yancers, with no other qualifications than a desk, an inkhorn, and a quire of paper. important as this question is to the Solicitors and Attornies who have qualified then/selves for the Public confidence by an expet►sive education, by an exclusive appropriation, of their time., by unintermitting'study, and by a perfect conversance with the LAWS of FROPERTY, we consider it still lore important L OTH E PEOPLE, wlio,4re continually suffering , from iusecure titles, fraudulent trans furs, and ininotis litigation :-.-since, in a country like Great Britian, where industry extends such facilities for the Acquirement of wealth, and landed, property offers the main security - wherein Elio-:t wealth cmi he invested, wealth roust be precariou it property is insecure, and indwory must be hope less it ‘vealth is endangered Upon our Coroner dal State, the effect or this evil is indeed fear- strikes at the root of all internal prospe• lily, by removing' AU internal confidence. API bins must the grievAni'e rciniinue, cvhile a mock anctioileer, or au old-clothes-man,,may determine i mo the inv'estigatiot► of settlements, the descen i4lteritanees, the val];htv of leases, the opera• tion, of thoraces, the import of deeds, the con stttetion of wills, and the thousand other points wlich are atten d ant on the sale and purchase of land, Shippillg, and other property..; When a respectable body Of Solicitors and At tot nies are interceding with the Legislature to abolish so serious an evil, they seem actuated by a motive directly adverse to the purposes of prOfit or monopoly. Did they consider theii own emo lument merely, and neither their own credit _nor the Public Good, they would still acquiesce in the grievance ; and, !calling our estates and proper ties to the management of the trading Convey ancers, remunerate themselves by that abundant harvest of litigation which ignorance and error are sure to produce. The Conveyancer cannot remedy his own mistakes ;• grans as they may be, and palpably blundering, they must be brought into the Solicitor's or Attorney's Office for the reparation of the Law. if, however, their professional emoluments are abridged by the proposed refOrmation, • their re srettability will be , increased in at least an equal ratio. That '' glorious uncertainty," which has afforded its fertile source of reproach and sarcasm, will henceforward be ascribed to those alone who create it ;' not to those who AIM LawYers; but to those who are Nor Lawyers ; riot to the regular, Professors, who enter in at the door, but to. the Intruders,. who slip in at the window. The Law is not uncertain ; its rules are founded on princi plei, and its principle on justice ; the uncertainty, which: has generated so much complaint and spread so much ruin,. is occasioned by the knaves who pervert the .law, and by the fools who mis take it. We will not lessen the National ImportahCe of this.question, by . any further reference to the pro fessional interests of the Solicitors and Attornies , neither will we narrow it to ihdividual advantage or reputation, while it can be advocated on the broLd ground of general utility. But it is essen- to the Public Safety, that re,pectable men should b • induced, by the prospects of emolument and credit, to devote themseltres to the Public Service ; and Conveyancing, in country pritetice especially, stands very forward among the expen sive studies of the Solicitor and Attorney, and'his wrative Compensations. It is indeed high time that the community sho4l- be rescued from thiti r evil, that property should no longer he endangered by every illiterate pretender, who propises cheap work, and evils his ignorance under price, that the regular Solicitor; and Attornies 'should no longer be censured for the mischiefs which !hey did not create. We trust farther, that the remedy sought by ti,ese re spectable individuals will bergreatly extended; anti that the Legislature will not only prevent the per sons before alluded to from practising as Convey ancers, under cover of an admission ituo some Inn of Court, btu restrain a1. , 0 their connecting therwelves ‘cilh tiny Solicitor and Attorney,' and doing businese muter his name. 'Until this refut. tnation shall he accomplished, until time transfer of property shall betaken out of tl:e hands of Ad venturers, whose want of knou!edge is almost as angerons as, in many instances, their want of integrity, the profession of the Law will be de graded, and the Law itself will be discredited; still worse, litigation will be aggravated and aug mented, and the security of property will be sa crificed to ignorance, to presumption, arid fre- quently to dishonesty. The first Petition presented to the'Legislature last spring, was by Mr. ANDERTON, of Kimbol ton, and in the course of the Session other Peti tions to the same effect were presented by the Soli citors and Attornies a" the folloWing places ; and we understand, in consequence of the injury which has been so very generally sustained by the prof. ssion' at large, an application will he made in the next Session of Parliament, to give (ffect to the REAL intention of the Lvgi.slature in pass im! the 44 Geo. 111. and to remove the grievance which they now labour under in that respect : Taunton, Christchurch, Wellington, Ford i Wiveliscombe, Ashby-de-la-Zouche, Melrert on, Wolverhampton, North Shields, Essex (County) South Shields, Dudley, • "%Vantage, Camhridge, • Plymouth, Ely, and adjoining Plymouth Dock, places, .

We are authorized to insert the following cor rect Report of the Trial which took :lace in the' Court of. Exchequer, on Monday, the Ist instant, in the Cause of the ATTORNEY4iENERAL against HARDING, HowELL, and Co. on the seizure of lace and other goods. Upon the trial of this cause, in which a verdict wits taken lot the Crown, the following observations were made by Mr. Ser jeant VAUGiIAN, one of the Counsel for the de fendants My Lord, in this ease the defendants, tinder My advice, are not "disposed to give your Lordship and the Jury any further trouble; blit that there may be no misunderstanding ` , and as I have taken upon myself to give that adVice, I vztsli it to be understood on what groUnds, against the judgment of my client, I have giVen that ad vice. Your Lordship is Aware that this is an extensive seizure, consisting of various articles, thread lace, cambric, and silk : 1 have toll my client it is not snfl^,t.•ient for him to bring into doubt whether these articles are British or fo reign, but that the Act of Parliament, the wisdom or policy of which it is not for me. to dispute in this place, has made it an imperative duty upon him to satisfy the Court and Jury that every in dividual article is manufactured in Great Britain, — Now, referring to the evidence for the prosecti tion, from which your Lordship and the Jury have learnt, the very extensive stock in trade and the quantity of articles seized, and referring par-, ticuh.aly to the examination of one witnestc; who said. it was impossible for them to account for -every individual article, I think the law much too strong for toy clients, and I have advised thetn to submit, and it is upon these grounds that 1 con sent that the verdibt shall be taken for the Crown." reply to which, Mr. DAUNCEY, one of the Counsel for the Crown, observed, - that the great object of such a prosecution as this is that which the Serjeant has mentioned, that the law of the case should be understood by every body. SHOCKING INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH.-011 Sunday evening, the landlord of are Peterborough Arras, in Poland-street, Oxford-road, left his house for the purpose of taking a walk ; he had not proceeded far when he fell down in a fit, He was ennveyed home, and recovered,. from which time he was in a state of delirium, so that h was necessary to confine him in a straight waistcoat, in which state he died.
