THE FORTHCOMING MICHAELMAS TlRM.—Yes-
terday, on the termination of the long vacation, the offices
of the Common-law Courts were reopened. and the list of
arrears for the approaching Michaelmas Term in the three
ewes exhibited. The arrears are not very numerous, but
will be speedily increased by applications arising out of the
recent summer circuit. In the Queen's Bench there are
four rules in the new trial list for judgment, and eighteen
for argument, and only one enlarged rule. In the Common
Pleas there are two enlarged rules, seven for new trials,
live matters standing for the judgment of the court, and
nineteen demurrer, set down for hearing. In the Court of
Exchequer there are four errors and appeals, besides seven
rules in the special paper and nine in the new trial list, of
which one stands for judgment and the rest for discussion.
The aggregate arrears of the three court number 133, and
as many, some years ago, appeared on the list of one court.
The new Chief Baron will sit at Westminster for the first
time since his appointment, and commence with but few
arrears. In Chancery the arrears are inconsiderable, and the
, greatest number are appeals. Michaelmas Term commences
on Friday week, the 2nd November, on which occasion the
courts will not begin business until past two o'clock, aa the
learned judges of law and equity will breakfast with the
Lord Chancellor, 'when the new Attorney and Solicitor
General will attend, and afterwards proceed to Westminster
to inaugurate the term.
IRISH LEGAL APPOINTMENTS.—It is stated that
the government offered the judgeship of the Landed
Estates Court, rendered vacant by the expected retire-
ment of Judge Longfield, to Judge Lynch, and that he was
to be succeeded in the Bankruptcy Court by Mr. Miller,
Q.C. There could not be a better appointment than that of
Judge Lynch, whole great ability, courtesy, and patience
highly qualify him for the Aloe in quertion. But it is
said there is a legal difficulty in the way, the Landed
Estates Court Act requiring that the judge nominated to it
must be a barrister of 15 years "tending, who has not
retired from practice ; and the question is, does the hold-
ing a place on the bench constitute what may be termed a
retiring from practice. We hope a mere technical point will
not overrate the real meaning of the set or deprive the
suitors in the Landed Estates Court of the services of an
able, learned, and upright judge.—Preesion's Journal.
THE LOCK-OUT OF THE NORTHERN IRONWORKERS.
—A meeting of delegates of the iron trade was held last
evening, at the Brown Bear, Broad-street, Bloomsbury,
Mr. Upehall in the chair. The Chairman said that the men
who were locked out in the north were determined to stand
out as long as they possibly could. The arguments used
by the masters were fallacious, as upon their own showing
they earned 37i per cent. ontheir iron work, which proved
there was no necessity for a reduction in the wages of the
men. The Brierly-hill men had responded to the call made
upon them, and had subscribed one-third of the amount
altogether required. Mr. Troop said that the friends of
the ironworkers in Staffordshire had thoroughly entered
into the scheme that 7s. should be allowed to the men who
were locked out in England and Scotland during the
months of November and December. The Brierly-hill
men had sent 5001. to the men in the north during the
week, which made up the 1,2001., which had been paid in
four weekly instalments. The other ironworkers in York-
shire and Scotland had hitherto subscribed about 1001. a
week, and he understood they were quite willing to in-
crease their subscriptions to 1501. a week. He thought the
Welsh people would raise 1501., and he might remark
that the Brierly-hill people said, that sooner than
the scheme should miscarry they would make an
effort to subscribe 15 per cent, upon their wages
for the support of the locked-out ironworkers.
Mr. Gluier announced that the different trades of London
had evinced a great disposition to aid the locked-out iron-
workers. After some discumion the following resolution
was agreed to :—" That this meeting of delegates, while
deeply regretting the continuance of the look-out of the
ironworkers in the north, records it satisfaction at the
information that the Brieriphill Council of Ironworkers
have extended the aid offered by them to their brethren in
the north, and have urged upon their eonstituents and
their fellow-workmen in England and Scotland to increase
their subscriptions on behalf of the ironworkers, so as to
keep the minimum payment at 7s. per week, during 1866,
to each of the men locked out, end the delegates desire to
remind their fellow-workmen that in order to make the
amount paid to the men 7s. • week it would require 20,000
subscribers at is.; 40,000, at 6cL; 80,000, at 3d.; 160,000, at
lid. ; and 240,000, at ld.; and the delegates trust London
willoontaibute 1201. a week."
