DISPUTED LIFE POLICXES.

" A trial of considerable interest to Life Assurance Offices and the
public was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchequer. The
Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 5391. In the Albion
Company as security for an advanee, the payment of which policy
was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it
was effected the fact of the assured party having been a man of In-
temperate habits was concealed from the office. The chief evidence
turned upon the question as to the degree of intemperance that had
been exhibited, and the result was, that a verdict was given against
the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for
401. interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance
of the action being brought by one office against another presents a
striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po-
licies under the present system, and shows that the only mode by
which absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the
general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of prote,cting them-
selves in every case by due inquiries before the grantinc, f each po-
licy, and of afterwards assuming the fall responsibility of the com-
pleteness of such ingdiries by holding themselves precluded from
raising any future question. In the present case two offices are
found to be diametrically opposed in their opinions as tc what can
properly invalidate a claim, and yet the public are expected be be
able to guare themselves against such contingences. Similar cases
have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would
seriously injure the progress of life assurance. The very principle
upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty,
and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree,
the people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the
first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

the master sent a boat with four men to buy herrings, as the

upon the Goldstone rock (the grave of Elton, the tragedian),
and the sea washed three of them out. They got on the

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
Yesterday a Court was held specially fur the con-
sideration of the reference to the Officers and Clerks
Committee upon the office of Recorder.
SCJIOOL FOR ORPHANS OF FREEMEN.
Mr. WHITE, the Chairman of the Coal, Corn, and
Finance Committee, introduced the subject of refer-
ring to a Committee the Act fur establishing a school
for orphans of freemen of the city of London, by
moving,
" That it to referred to the committee over which he
presides, to obtain a design with plans and specifications
for the erection of the building, and to report the same
to the Court."
Mr. PERKINS moved as an amendment,
" That the president and governors appointed by this
Court orythe 17th day of January last, for the purposes
of the Corporation School, be constituted a committee
to carry into execution the Act of Parliament for esta-
blishing a school."
And, upon the rejection of the first motion, when
the amendment became the original question,
Mr. M. Iforwoon moved as an amendment,
" That it be referred to the City of London School
Committee to carry the Act into effect."
A discussion of considerable length took place, but
it was finally decided, on the motion of Mr. Deputy
°BEARD, that the whole business should be referred
to a ward committee, which was thereupon appointed.
THE OFFICE OF RECORDER.
Mr. IlitowN, the chairman of the Officers and Clerks
Committee, brought up the following report :
" We, your committee, to whom on the sth of Sept.
it was referred to consider the duties and emoluments of
the office of Recorder of this city, and to report thereon
previous to the election taking place in the Court of Al-
dermen for a successor to the Hon. C. E. Law, and to
whom, on the same day, wore referred the proceedings
of the Court of Aldermen, with the report of the com-
mittee of the whole Court upon that office, do certify
that we proceeded in the reference, and have perused
the duties set forth in the report of the committee of the
whole Court of Aldermen abovementioned, and, subject
to some amendments which we have made, we recom-
mend the same for adoption by your Hon. Court, toge-
ther with other duties which we have inserted therein,
and we have caused the whole to be hereunto annexed.
" We beg, further, to recommend that your lion.
Court should rescind the 48 standing order—' That the
Recorder be advised with in all cases relating to the
City affairs when it may be necessary to take the opinion
of counsel.'
" And, having referred to the proceedings of this
Court is respect of the salary of the late Recorder, and
especially to those of the 28th day of April, 1837, by
which it appears that this Court added the sum of 500/.
per annum, thereby making it 3,000/. per annum, and
having well considered the high importance anfi dignity
of the office of Recorder, and the weighty responsibilities
which devolve upon him; and having also taken into full
consideration the resolution of the Court of Aldermen
that the Recorder should be required to attend and sit
daily at the sessions of the Central Criminal Court, by
which additional duties will be cast upon the office, we
are of opinion, and recommend that this Court should
continue the salary of the Recorder at the sum of 3,0001.
per annum, which said sum shall be in full of all fees,
emoluments, and advantages heretofore received by the
Recorder from the city's cash, or from the sheriffs or
otherwise; and, if from any circumstance the duties of
the Recorder shall be altered and diminished and the
salary reduced accordingly, we are of opinion that the
Recorder should have no claim for compensation in re-
spect of such reduction.
" All which we submit this 14th day of September,
1850.

" H. BROWN. " D. W. WIRE.
" THOMAS FALL. " EDWARD WATSON.
"JAMES WATERLOW. "J. S. BARNARD.
" J. R. FARRER. " W. G. Hulneuay."
Mr. BROWN, in moving that the report be agreed
to, urged the necessity of abolishing the fees of the
office, and of making the established salary such as
would encourage applications from the most eminent
men of the profession.
Mr. DE JERSEY suggested the propriety of avoiding
the consequences of a precipitate judgment upon a
matter of such importance as the appointment of a
judge.
Alderman LAWRENCE said the election of Recorder
would take place on Tuesday next, in the Court of
Aldermen, and no doubt the amount of salary settled
by the Court of Common Council would have an effect
upon the choice which must then be made.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR rose to move an amendment.
It was known to the members of the Corporation that
the salary of the office of Recorder had been raised
from time to time from a very small to a very large
amount, and that Recorders upon being appointed
looked forward uniformly to an increase of pecuniary
remuneration for. their services. To give the largest
salary at once upon the appointment of the officer
would be injudicious, inasmuch as it would prove a
source of dissatisfaction to him to have no expectation
of additional profit, at the same time that there was no
security for the adequate performance of the im-
portant duties of the situation.—(Hear, hear.) When
the salary of Mr. Law as Recorder was fixed at
2,5001. a year, it was considered that the Corporation
had acted with great liberality. He thought that in
providing a salary for a successor to that gentleman,
they should not exceed that sum, and they might,
upon finding that the qualifications of the new judge
were unexceptionable, and that all the duties were
punctually as well as ably performed, make the addi-
tion which would meet the present recommendation.

He knew that many men of eminence at the bar con-
sidered 3,0001. a very large allowance for the per-
formance of the duties of Recorder, and he would not
object to so liberal a proposition when the Corporation
were satisfied that the person upon whom the election
should fall deserved the increase.—(Hear, hear.) In
fact, the question in the committee was, whether the
salary should be 2,5001. or 3,0001, and the proposi-
• tion of the larger amount was carried by but a small
majority. Mr. Taylor then moved—" That the sa-
lary of the Recorder be 2,5001., instead of 3,0001. a
year."
Mr. BLAKE seconded the amendment. He was
of opinion that it would be a very bad compli-
ment to the late Recorder to vote at once to his suc-
cessor the full amount of salary which Mr. Law had
been considered entitled to after many year' service,
and it would not be at all advisable in the Court to
give out of its own hands the power of showing ad-
ditional testimony of its approbation.
Alderman LAWRENCE advocated the grant of the
larger salary. He called upon the Court to recollect
that when the late Recorder was appointed, the Cen-
tral Criminal Court, with all its onerous duties, was
not in existence, and that the Learned Gentleman was
allowed to go on circuits and hold briefs, which con-
siderably added to the profits cf his office. By the
report of the committee the Recorder would be pre-
vented from availing himself of any professional ad-
vantages. Everything would be included in the sa-
lary to be given by the Corporation.—(Hear, bear.)
It would be found, that .in the history of the Re •
corders of London, there was nothing like a rota-
tion principle acted upon. The inferior law
officers seldom reached that office, although
many Recorders had been elevated to most
important judicial situations. The last three Re-
corders had been elected by rotation, certainly. For
100 years previously there had been no example of
the kind ; and he believed he spoke the sentiments of
the Court of Aldermen, when he said they were de-
termined to elect the best man they could find, and
that their private feelings of friendship would not be
allowed to operate in the choice.—(Hear, hear.)
Now, if the Corporation were determined to abandon
the principle of rotation altogether, and choose the
most eligible person, they must pay for it.—(Hear,
hear.) If they only gave 2,500/. a year to their
Recorder they would circumscribe their choice, and
they would fail to get a man whose talents and style
of character were suited to the place. They must
consider that they not only offered an inferior salary
to that which the late Recorder received, but they
required the performance of 50 per cent. more duties
than he had ever performed. They must consider
that the new Recorder would be by the new regula-
tions in a condition to be called upon by the Corpora-
tion for professional aid without receiving extra fees,
and he apprehended that as there was to be no ex-
pense, applications to the learned gentleman would
abound.—(Hear.) In short, 3,0001. a year would
buy a good man, and 2,5001. a year would not come
up to the mark.—(Hear, and a laugh.)
Mr. Deputy OBBARD said it was the pride of the
country that her Majesty's judges were independent
of the Crown, and he thought it rather a degenerate
movement in Mr. Taylor to endeavour to make the
highest City judge dependant upon the Court of Com-
mon Council.—(Hear.) It was as much as to say,
that if the Recorder happened to please the members
of the Court, irrespective of the ability with which he
might perform the duties of the office, he should feel
it in the increase of his salary. He did not approve
of the object of those who advocated the amendment,
who required more attention to the business of the
office and offered less pay.—(hear, hear.)
Mr. DE JERSEY agreed in the opinion that the
Court ought to select the best man they could find ;
but they were not going in the right way to accom-
plish that object in pressing on the question in such
a hurry. The Lord Mayor ought to be called upon
to appoint a special day for the consideration of a
matter of so much importance.— (Hear, hear.) Mr.
De Jersey referred to the comparatively small salaries
received by the old Recorders, many of whom were
raised to the highest judicial dignities. Sir James
Eyre had, he said, never received more than 400/.
a year as Recorder, and he believed there were 100

men in Westtnioster-hall who were eminently
qualified to perform all the duties. He was glad
to hear Alderman Lawrence decry the principle
of rotation. Perhaps is was meant the Court
should understand that the Court of Aldermen did
not intend to act upon that principle.—(A laugh, and
cries of" Hear, hear.") Now, the. Court of Common
Council, in electing their Common-Sergeants, did not
always look for the best man, although they always
gave them the best salaries.—(A. laugh.) Certainly
some former samples did no great credit to their judg-
ment. He called upon the Court to vo'e no higher
salary than that proposed in the amendment. No
doubt a future application for an increase must be
expected ; but they ought to wait and ascertain the
strength of the claims. There never yet was an
officer of the Corporation who did not come up for an
addition to his allowance. There was not a single
exception to that rule.—(Laughter.) Now the Court
ought to consider that they bad nothing to do with
the election of the officer to whom they were about
to vote a salary. They ought to take care of their
money.—(llear, hear.) If the Aldermen should elect
a good man in every respect qualified to do justice to
the office, the Court of Common Council could and
would reward him, but precipitation in such a case
must be injurious. Let the Court look to the labours
of the judges of the land when the duties of the Re-
corder were spoken of as laborious. For 5,0001. a
year a judge in one of the courts of law were obliged
to undergo the most severe wear and tear of body and
of mind, and to perform more than double the duties
of the Recorder, at the same time that the expenses
necessarily attendant upon his station seriously
abridged the profits of his calling.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. Deputy LOTT said, that taking into conside-
ration the nature of the duties the Recorder had to
perform, he did not think the sum of 3,0001. a year
too much.
Mr. BOWER, said that no good could arise from the
adoption of the amendment. The ordinary man who
would be candidate for the office at 2,500/. a:year,
would calculate that to a certainty he would reach
the larger amount, while a man of eminence and high
qualifications would reject the offer, at the same time
that he would not hesitate to accept of that which his
predecessor enjoyed.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. R. TAYLOR, advised the Court to exercise
caution in dealing with a matter with which the
Court of Aldermen had to do. He disapproved of
some judicial appointments which had been made. It
was not always that a good advocate made a 'good
judge. Sir James Scarlett was a capital advocate,
but what a judge l—(A. laugh and cries of " Hear.")
He thought it only right to put the Court in mind of
one thing which occurred to him on the subject of the
rotatory system alluded to—when Mr.. Knowles,
their Common-Sergeant, was candidate for the office
of Recorder, the celebrated Sir James Macintosh
was proposed for the same situation,and Mr. Knowles,
who was compelled by the livery to resign, some
years afterwards was successful.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. PEwntess was for the smaller salary. The
late Recorder was a man of great humanity, and had
numerous excellent qualities, but as an adviser to the
Chief Magistrate he was by no means sound. That
Court had witnessed occasions on which, his counsel
was subjected to serious condemnation. He hoped
the Court would keep in their own hands the only
check they had upon the exercise of an authority that
might be made injurious to them.—(Hear.)
Mr. Wine was most decidedly in favour of the
recommendation of the committee, and thought the
honour and happiness of the citizens of London were
involved in the question of a liberal demonstration to
their chief judge. Those who argued for the amend-
ment did not appear to be aware of the value of a
pure and independent bench. Mr. Pewtress had
alluded to the late Recorder as an adviser, but did
not state what would have certainly operated as a
corrective of the evil which he condemned. If the
Court had resisted the Recorder, instead of submitting
to him, no inconvenience could have resulted from his
interference.—(Hear, hear.) The fault was decidedly
in the Court. It was, he contended, the duty of the
Court to make their judges independent of the popu-
lar body, and they had done so in the case of the late
Recorder, and they would do so in the case of the
future. He was an economist, but he would not
allow his principle of economy to interfere with the
principles of justice. He had had much experience in
the court in which the late Recorder generally pre-
sided, and ho knew that the Honourable Gen-
tleman performed his various and extensive duties
with great ability and humanity, and when it
was considered that the Caltral Criminal Court
dealt with a population of 2,000,000 some
idea might be formed of the difficulties be had
to encounter and the labours he had to undergo. The
question was not whether 100 men were ready to
take the situation, but whether the Court could get a
properly qualified man. He trusted that the Court
of Aldermen would elect some able man in progress
to eminent station.—(Hear, hear.) He did not think
that any man in that court knew who would be
elected. He believed the Court would look for the
best man, and he believed they would readily give up
any favourite and adopt the man who had the most
indisputable pretensions.—(Hear)
Mr. liaoox said that the City bad their eyes upon
the members of the Court as to the vote upon the
question of the salary, and that every one, at least in
his ward, who should vote for more than 2,5001.
to the Recorder would certainly be called over the
coals.—(Laughter.)
Mr. J. WOOD spoke in favour of the report of the
committee. He expressed a wish that the elec-
tion should lay with the Court of Common Council,
but he had every reliance upon the Aldermen on the
question.
