LAW-WRITERS' (OFFICE-KEEPS.t9TION SOCIETY. been ad-
Yesterday a fteinoon a meeting. which had ,
journed from Thursday last, of the law-writers' (office
keepers) took place at the Ship Tavern, ChichesterlVnts?
Lincoln's Inn. Mr. Gardner in the chair. ,
The CRAM /WAN, in addressing the meetii% said that
the), had now met for the purpose of completing that
which they had began, viz., that of forming themseives
into a society, to be called 6 The Law-Writers'-Offit.e
Keepers Protection Society." The Association wind/ 1
they were about to form had for its primary object the
employment of those only who, by having served their
apprenticeship, or by five years occupation in the profes-
lion, shall have acquired a competent knowledge of it in
its various branches. It was therefore necessary that
there should be a good organization and understanding
existing amongst them.
Mr. BARNARD saidthat the formation of such a society
would be the means, not only of keeping their business in
the proper channels, viz., the law stationer: and them- I
selves, but would secure to the attorney his work, being
accomplished in a business-like and proper manner, and .
thus prevent the possibility of shareholders in the various
railways having their hopes frustrated and their expecta-
tions blighted, by the defeat of Bills before the House,
in consequence of the informality and want of correctness
in matters of technicality and form, arising from the em-
ployment
of inexperienced persons in the different de-
partments of writing.
Mr. NARSTON observed that office-keepers, who were
unbusiness-like enough to employ unqualified persons,
did so, to the injury of the trade, as well as the public,
for they paid to their labourer a miserable pittance, and,
like most work badly paid for, it were better it had not
been done at all.
Messrs. Charles, Chefferiel, Edmonds, Still, and other
office-keepers, addressed the meeting, and the rules and
regulations by which the society is to be governed, hav-
ing been read and agreed to, a finance committee, and the
proper officers were appointed, and the society separated.

GREEN PEAS IN JANUARY.

(nom A CORRESPONDENT).
The mildness of the weather has forced on vegetation
to a state, that in other' years it had not attained in
March. In a garden, near West Cowes, there are
three rows of peas in blossom and in pod—they we
planted in October. Broad beans are to be seen
blossom ; and potatoes, which were early planted, are
aninch above ground. We cannot expect February
and March to pass over without any frosts ; and the
first frost will carry destruction with it. At present
we hardly feel-the loss of the potato-crop,. there is such
a vast quantity of green vegetables forced into the mar-
ket. The turnips are all running away, and the land
is so sagged with water, the sheep cannot be turned
into them, nor can they be carted off: In this weather
they can last but a very short time, and should Febru-
ary prove what February generally does, it will be
serious work with the sheep and cattle ; no green
.fodder
can be expected in February, March, and April, and
there are no potatoes to fall back upon, as in other years,
for man or beast.
