LAW AMENDMENT SOCIETY.

Last night the members of this society met at
their rooms, in Regent- ; Mr. COLLIER, M.P., in the
chair.
Mr. Runtime having informed the members what com-
mittees were sitting,
Mr. Titownn moved that the subject of the transfer of
laud be referred to the committee on proprietary laws.
There was no Aegean stable connected with law which
nquired their attention more than this. They had done
something for the reform of the common law courts, and they
hoped to do something with regard to the Courts of Chancery,
but with regard to the greet subject of the transfer of land
they had done nothing. With all respect for the opinion of
Lord St. Leonard', he could not agree in the objections
urged by him against the registration of title deeds. The
principle of notice was the same, whether it applied to the
case of judgment or parches., and both ought to be treated
by the same teat. With regard to the question of convey-
once, he had no doubt that, although it might be difficult to
transfer land as stock, much might be done in the way of
simplification and shortening conveyance. The conveyance
should, above all things, be of a uniform kind. Ho thought
that it was the duty of the profession to pilot public opinion
on this subject, and therefore he proposed to refer it to the
committee on proprietary laws.
Mr. HILDLAN, M.P., in seconding the motion, said that
any committee on this subject would have a moat ample
opportunity of bestowing their labours is a manner most
beneficial to the public. It was impossible for any person
to be convenant with the difileultier, delays, and 'spent,
attending the transfer of land without feeling that there
was infinite room for impronmeat If he thought that
the Litman of the committee were to result in recom-
mending another Registratios Bill, he did not think
it would be worth while to reconsider the sub-
ject, because he was of opinion that • were registra-
tion would rather increase than diminish the evils of the
present systems. Whilst they were discussing the remedy,
the practical sense of the people were tatting the Gordian
knot because, rather than submit to the great eapens of an
investigation of title they were content to take land without
any title at all, under condition of sale, which wen putt-
ealarly homed with that view. In some of the best drawn
settismusts at present, it was a common thing for people to
have trosame who had the pewee of sale absolutely. That
might be
a hint to the committee as to how they one to
deal with the subject.
The motion was as reed to.
Mr. Town moved that the report of the coninsiasion to
inquire into the inns of court be referred to • special com-
mittee. He onsidered the report highly important and
satisfactory, and as the Inauguration of a new era in their
legal history. The commission reported in favour of a pre-
liminary szunination en entering the profeeslon, and of •
compulsory one, before the student could be called te the
bar. So far it was satisfactory ; but he regretted that they
did net report in favour of tae creation of some new
readerships—a', far instance, on mercantile and interne-
&sal law.
Mr. HASTINGS seconded the motion, and thought that**
greatest credit was due to the commissioners for the labo-
rious way in which they had gone into the inquiry, and for
the liberal report which they agreed to. He agreed with
Its. Tudor that there ought to be some sew readenblps, but
is some of the inns there were no funds applicable for that
me.sti In the Middle Temple, to which he himself
-a, there NM only a inept*. of If. It. 100., whit&
could bid e the result ot mismangement alone. he
Mr. HDOIti thought that the education of lawyers was •
matter of greet importance to the public, as the administra-
tion ef justice wee mostly in their hands. If their lawyers
had been progoely Maisel heretofore he did not think they
would base owatiased **present system so long, eat he
trusted the tolllgt of a better education would be to get rid
of the teelselpilitiss which now disfigured their legal
Tyr.
(MOO
The swam Om agreed to.
Oa the match of Mr. HASTINGS, a special committee
was spnorateg so mite the laws of the 'misty.
Mr. Serjemit WOOLIINCII read a paper on the rights of
women with roped to certain kinds of property, which was
I ordered to be referred to the committee on personal laws.
The seeds; *ea adjourned.
