the Paper that first inrrodueett this subket
to the notice of the Pubtic, and followed it up
by repeated oh,ervations of our °AV!), and those
of several eiltightened Correspondents. As the
subject is of essential importance to the hanoor
as well as interest of the legal profession, and of
still greater importance to the puhlic at large, in
relation to the security of property, we cannot
but express our surprise that not one of the jour-
nals of the metropolis has deemed it worth no-
tice, though it has excited so:. Much attention,
among Lawyers in particular, that a putlic pla-
card, we understand, was posted up in several.

day which contained an article in reference to the
question, forcibly called for professional notice:
We can positively aver, that we had Ito co-cern
in that measure, which was adopted wholly by
members of the legal profession. Several of the
Provincial Journals were not so indiLrent to a
subject of such importance, as those of London,
but copied all the articles relating to it which had
appeared in Toe Su St. We cannot but feel much
surprise, however, that the Journals, on both sides
of the qttestion, of the Metropolis, should have
passed over sub silentio a question of such general,
as well as particular, interest, as it certainly was
the ditty of all that profess to be Public Priuls, to
attend to a matter SQ important to the community
at large. For our own part, we shall resolutely
and unceasingly petseverc in drawing attention to
every subject of general interest, that TuE

present year, THE PAPER 6:17 THE EMPIRE.
