HOUSE Or LORDS, Feb. 15. CROFT v. LUMLEY.--
THE OPERA-HOUSE.—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 taken
by consent, subject to a special case, which raised two
questions, first, whether the lease had been forfeited ;
and, secondly, whether there had been any waiver of
the right of re-entry. A majority of the learned judge,"
were of opinion that there had been no forfeiture, 9•11'
that if there had been there bad been also a waiver.
LAW AMENDMENT SOCIETY.—Last night the usual
bi-monthly meeting of the Law Amendment society was
held at their rooms, Waterloo-place—Lord Brongballt
in the chair. Mr. Edgar brought up the report aa.
committee appointed to consider the subject of peofefi_
sional remuneration. This report insisted upon thu
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 ,
imposing charges upon a fixed sale of costs as entireq
opposed to this principle. They also maintained that,
in settling the amount of remuneration for legal wig'',
vices, consideration should be given to any specl*.
agreement which may have been entered into by 4:3?°
