Address on the Origin and History of the English Law, by
John Marshall Hayman, Esq., Barrister at-Law.
Before the above Courses of Lectures are commenced an
Address will be delivered by John Marshall Hayman, Esq.,
Barrister-at-Law, in the Hall of the Society, on " The
Origin and History of the English Law."
Mr. Hayman proposes to trace, so far as the limit of time
will allow, the origin and history of some of the leading
principles of the English law. He will invite attention
chiefly to that element of our system which is derived from
the law of the Roman Empire.
It may be convenient to take at least one illustration
from each of the main divisions of our law which are the
subjects of the Courses of Lectures about to be com-
menced.

The proposed illustrations are :-
1. The Derivation of our System of Equity from the
Jus Prfetorium of Borne.
2. The Law of Contract, and particularly of Bailment.

3. Title by Prescription.
Time will not allow of more than very brief reference
to the other great element of our system, which is of na-
tive or feudal origin.
The Address will be delivered on Monday, the Ist No-
vember next, at 5 o'clock; and, in addition to the mem-
bers of the Society, all clerks now serving under articles,
whether subscribers to the Lectures and Classes or not,
will be admitted gratuitously.
