CAMERON'S GOUT SPECIFIC.
An Effectual and Speedy Remedy for the Gout, Rheu-

Medicine is so pre-eminently efficacious as to admit of no
parallel. Instance, have been known, in which sufferers have
teen confined to their apartments, hand and foot, writhing
under the most intense agony, whose sufferings, to the asto-
nishment of their friends, hare been wholly removed in less
than 24 hours after taking the above medicine, and themselves
rendered ab'e to resume their avocations, Indeed, the effect
has been such, and brought about in so harmless and speedy
a manner, that the proprietor, with the utmost confidence,
challenges the medical world to t roduce a medicine equal to
it. To the constitution it is harmless ; to the fluids of the
human frame It adds an agreeable impetus ; to the system
generally it is invigorating to a degree unparalleled ; and
male or female may take it to equal advantage. A dose of
the above medicine taken about once a month operates most
effectually in preventing a return of the complaint. Pri,e

• LAW REPORTING,

A meeting of the bar was held yesterday in Lincoln's-
inn Hall, to consider the report of the committee on law re-
porting. The Attorney-General presided, and there was
a very large attendance of barristers. The report has been
already published.
The CsainMAN explained that on the 2d of December
last a committee was appointed to consider whether some
improved plan might not be devised for preparing and pub-
lishing law reports. That committee had endeavoured to
perform their duty conscientiously, and whatever opinion
might be entertained as to the plan recommended, the pro-
fession generally must feel indebted to them for the trouble
they had taken. It was no part of his (the Attorney-Gene-
ral's) duty to sag a word on the report itself, or to prejudice
the opinions of any one present on the one way or the
other. He should be glad if the meeting could have been
held at a later period, so that more time might have been
afforded to the profession to consider the report before they
were called upon to vote upon it, but there was no option
between holding the meeting now and leaving the whole
matter to stand over until after the long vacation. Under
these circumstances the committee thought it right that the
bar should be invited to meet that day to consider the report.
Mr AMPHLETT moved the first resolution :—" That the
report ofappointed at the general meeting of
h e e
bar
held
s-inn Hall on Wednesday the 2d day
rt
i ncommittee
Lincoln's-inn
c oln,
of December, 1863, and the scheme recommended therein, be
adopted." He observed that the evils of the existing system
were the unnecessary number of cases reported, the unneces-
sary length, the multiplication of reports of the same oases,
the delay:in publication,and the great expense entailed upon
the
ystpemrof s remedy Was to establish an organised
the present system of what was
ofauthorisedsesion. The
reports,
called authorised reporting not having organisation in the
proper sense of the term belonging to it. By the proposed
out at regular intervals, pre-
rst:threedmbeythgenarelipfioedrtsrewpoourltdercute
so
and carefully edited by properly
qualified editors, at a fixed rate of subscription. It was a
question whether it would be better to have a system of re-
porting by reporters and editors appointed and paid by the
State—and of course under the control of the State, or
whether it would be better to leave the control in the hands
of the profession, But as they
were not likely to obtain the
necessary funds from the Government for the purpose, if
they decided in favour of an official system it would become
a dead letter and be a bar to all improvement. It was
therefore, necessary to determine in favour of a system
organised under the authority of the profession, and in that
case he could conc:"ive no better plan than that recom-
mended by the committed, by which the reports would be
prepared and edited, as he had stated, by efficient reporters
and editore, members of the ba,; dud under the control of a
council which would have the pow: of revising the details
of the scheme as occasion might regain:* The question of
salaries had been anxiously considered by the committee,
who had been guided in fixing the amoun: by a desire
to secure as far as possible the services of the pre.:'eri,t staffi
of authorised reporters in the several courts. It he.
been thought advisable to place the reporters and editors al

a certain degree independent of the chances of trade, by
assuring them ono moiety of the salary agreed upon whether
the publication succeeded or not, the other moiety to depend
upon the commercial success of the undertaking. It would
doubtless be more agreeable to the reporters if the Govern-
ment would advance the first moiety of the salaries out of
the Consolidated Fund, and he did not despair of persuad-
ing Government to do so, and in that case there would be
no difficulty in finding a publisher who would undertake
the risk provided they could show a list of subscribers, say
to the extent of LlO,OOO, which he thought would cover the
entire expense of publication. The only other point was
the price at which the reports could be furnished to the
