.01:ISE OF JORDS, Feb. 15. CROFT V. LUMLEY.--
THE OPERA-HOINE.—This was a writ of error from the
Court of Exchequer Chamber affirming a decree of the
Court of Queen's Bench. The matter came before the
latter court in an action of ejectment brought to recover
possession of the Opera-house in the Haymarket, under
a .proviso in the lease for re-entry on the ground of for-
feiture. At the trial a verdict for the plaintiff was takes
by consent, subject to a special case, which raised toe
questions, first, whether the lease had been forfeited ;
and, secondly, whether there bad been any waiver of
the right of re-entry. A majority of the learned judge':
were of opinion that there had been no forfeiture, an
that if there had been there had been also a waiver.
LAW AMENDMENT SOCIETY.—Last night the usual
bi-monthly meeting of the Law Amendment Society was
held at their roome, Waterloc-place—Lord Broughael
in the chair. Mr. Eiger brought up the report of a
committee appointed to consider the subject of profes-
sional remuneration. This report insisted upon the
principle that the remuneration of professional labour
was a matter to be settled between the employer and the
employed, so that they regarded the present system of
imposing charges upon a fixed sale of costa as entire',
opposed to this principle. They also maintained the!,
in settling the amount of remuneration for legal ig?r,
vices, consideration should be given to any epeeaa
..
agreement which may have been entered into by CO"
potent parties. A short discussion followed the reading
of this paper with respect t., the comparative) extent of
law chaige. in England and in Scotland in respect to the
ouUt ieg ef judgment upon a bill of exchange' tree!
which it appeared that in Scotland the cost is (men
fourth what it is is England. Tho report was then
ordered to be printed and circulated among the neewv,er
tl
for future consideration, and the proceeJlogsiterrnroated
in the usual wanner,
