LAW ASSOCIATION

. .
This higblY respectable Asso,ciationi•which has
beer established little more than. 4.year, and is pa-
tronised by the LORD CutANcEt.t.ott, is daily ad-
Vancing in the estimation of the Profession. We
perceive that the first Anniversary is advertised to
he holden on the 14th of next month, and that Sir
JAMES GRAHAM, Bart. M.'P.. is to rake the Chair.
Countenanced by the No.ble Lord at the head of
the legal depertment, and directed by some of the
most respectahle•Solicitors in the metropolis, the
Association bids fair to render essenti4l benefit to
the widows and families of such professional men al
may. die in em.harrassedi circumstances, and ter the
families of those. members of the profession who
in,y he involved in distress, in cimserprenee of ina,:
.bility to conduct their business, through bodily or
mental infirmity, or other involuntary ca,lamity.
The folios in extract flout the Rules will best.
explain the plan or the ;Association, byy exhibiting
the nature of the authority vested in the Board of
Directors for administering aid to •the objects of
the intended relief :

To grant relief to the widow and children of any deceased
member, who may have died in distressed circumstances, and,
in the event of his death, without leaving a wido,y or child,
then to other relatives dependent on him for support.
- allow a widow or family a suns of money, in lien of an
annual payment, wills a View to an establishment in business
or employment.

To take measures for promoting- the interests of any de-
serving widow and Vimily be patronage and recommendation:

To advance a sum of money for educating, apprenticing,
or otherwise assisting any dt the family of a deceased member.
If, through bodily or mental infirmity, or other involun-

tary calamity, any member be incapacitated from attending
to or conducting his business, and his family be thereby io-
rolred in distress, the ,! irecturs hare purer to allow him
such assistance as they shall think fit.

The Directors have also the powe►s in cases of emergency,
under certain limitations, to extend relief to the families of
profeisional men not being members of the Association.

in order to insure a permanency to the AsSo,
ciation, the Mars provide, that no relief is to be,
granted until 10,0001. 3 per cents, ha,e been
(nnded ; and we understand that 3,8001. Stock
have been already purchased, and that the atinual
receipts are about 6001. •
Such are the objects, and such the forward
state of an Institution originating in those views
of enlightened humanity which
;might reason-
ably have,heen expected to prevail -among_ the
Gentlemen with whom the 'scheme origitiated.—
We earnestly recommend it to the individual -at-
tention of all the professional men'in the metro-
polis and its Vicinity. Similar establishments, in
other classes of society, have heretofore •re-
eieed the tribuie, of our bumble but zealous ap-
probation ; and we have only to add, that our
Columns will be readily opened to 'Hoy conintn.-
nicationi which may be thought conducive to
the interests of so laudable an undertaking as the
Law AssoCiarion.
