cIATION.—The
LAW Asso annual meeting of this
' tion established for the benefit of the widows and
familiesasll of' professional men in the metropolis and vicinity,
was held on Thursday, at the Law Institution, Chancery-
lane; Mr. James Horne in the chair. The report, which
was read by the secretary, stated that the funded property of
the association at the present time consisted of 10,0001.
stock Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., and 10,2001. stock
Three per Cents. Reduced. The sums voted at the last an-
nual meeting for the benefit of widows and families of persons
who had not been, or who had ceased to be, subscribers to
the society, was 1501., being 501. less than in recent years.
The directors were constrained to state that the cases on the
books at the present time, and receiving fixed:allowaneell,
had absorbed nearly the whole of these grants, and the con-
sequence was, that in several cases the directors had been
compelled to reject the applications for want of sufficient
funds to meet them. The auditors report having been read,
together with the directors' report,;received and adopted, the
Right Hon. Lord Lyndhurst was re-elected president and the
three Vice-Chancellors as vice-presidents. The other
officers for the ensuing sear having been elected, a vote of
