The law concerning rates and taxes (each rate and tax being discussed separately) is also explained; and many suggestions are thrown out, under these various heads of discussion, having in view the throwing of fresh life into parochial business. We see no reason why every man who loves his parish should not give a hearty welcome to this useful book, and so secure it a wide audience."-Examiner.

"Mr. Toulmin Smith's great practical experience of the subject treated necessarily gives a peculiar value to this book; and besides the

author's practical knowledge, his learning on the subject is of the soundest and most practical nature. In the multitude of constitutional, legal, and practical matters of the very highest value, and of vital importance to the existence of England as a free and wellgoverned country, it is not easy to select any particular chapters or sections as specimens of the whole."-Jurist.

be found, we think, to contain all the information upon this voluminous question which the simple subject of this realm may need. lawyer, Mr. Toulmin Smith is able to go into those details about parish duties and parish rights which every free inhabitant of this country ought to know; and as the book is written for the instruction of the public in general, and not the legal class in particular, and as it is quite a novelty and desideratum, it will be received as a great boon and a considerable authority. The author deals with the obligations and powers of an English parish meeting, and the officers and duties of the parish; and he gives illustrations of the practical working of the parish institution in all secular affairs. And at the end of the book there is a copious index, which enables the reader at once to turn to the text for the solution of any difficulty in connexion with parish matters." -Empire.

"Mr. Toulmin Smith has highly distinguished himself as an uncompromising champion of ancient Anglo-Saxon institutions, amongst which the coroner's court holds a prominent place. His work entitled The Parish' is a remarkable protest against a centralising spirit, which is one of the characteristics of modern legislation. His book displays considerable erudition, and is admirably written."—

"This book is so written as to combine profound and accurate legal learning and professional and practical knowledge with a popular and

Containing all the Statutes of Practical Utility in the Civil and Criminal Administration of Justice to the Present Time. By W. N. WELSBY and EDWARD BEAVAN, Esqrs., Barristers at Law.

In the debate on the proposed consolidation of the Statutes, on the 9th February, 1854, Lord Campbell said, "that the Statutes at Large extended to about fifty volumes folio, but all the Statutes which were usually required by lawyers for reference might be found in three octavo volumes compiled by his learned friend Mr. Welsby. When he (Lord Campbell) was upon the bench he always had this work by him, and no Statutes were ever referred to by the Bar which he could not find in it."

This important Work will be continued annually, by an Edition of the Statutes, arranged on a similar plan, with a full Index, being published shortly after the close of each Session. Edited by E. BEAVAN, Esq. The first of these Supplements, containing the Statutes of 1854, is now ready, price 98. 6d. sewed. S. Sweet, Chancery-lane; Stevens & Norton, Bell-yard.

Dublin, has been appointed a Master Extraordinary of the English Court of Chancery, and a Commissioner of all the English Law Courts for taking Affidavits, &c. in Ireland for the said Courts.

Mr. S., being a practising Attorney and Solicitor, will (on being sent a reference or cash) attend to any Irish business intrusted to him; but as it frequently occurs that nothing more may be required than information on a single point, he suggests that inclosing the cost of the reply in the letter requiring the information would save delay and expense. Where the information required would not involve the necessity of search, the cost would be 3s. 6d., which could be sent in postage stamps; where search must be made, e. g., where the particulars of a deed or will required, 108., for which a Post-office order should be sent.

NEWSPAP

CHARITY and POLICY UNITED.-The MARINE WESTMINSTER GENERAL DISPENSARY,

SOCIETY in the past year trained on board the Society's ship, and clothed and fitted out for the Royal Navy, Indian Navy, and the mercantile marine, 455 poor and destitute boys, who, rescued from ignorance and the innumerable dangers of a life of idleness, are now stimulated to support themselves by the exertions of their own industry; a heavy burthen is thus removed from their distressed parents and friends, whilst the boys have obtained employment in a service most useful to the country.

Since the formation of this Society, nearly a century ago, it has clothed and fitted out 90,000 individuals for the sea service, and it is hoped that an institution so highly beneficial will ever commend itself to the support of the British public.

At this juncture, when large demands on the Society's funds may be expected, it becomes necessary to appeal to the liberality of the benevolent for increased donations and subscriptions.

Contributions of any amount towards the further support of this national charity will be thankfully received at the offices of the Society in Bishopsgate-street.

URGENT APPEAL to the WEALTHY.-In consequence

of the continued severity of the weather, an overwhelming number of destitute sick persons, more especially unfortunate females, suffering under aggravated and contagious diseases, have sought refuge at the ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road. From want of funds alone the medical officers have been compelled to refuse them admission into the wards, although many of the wretched applicants had neither home nor bed. Unless timely aid can be given, numbers of these poor sufferers must perish. The Hospital has three large wards unoccupied, which may be at once made available if this appeal is responded to by the merciful and affluent. John Masterman, Esq., M.P., Nicholas-lane, is treasurer, and by whom donations will be thankfully received; also by the following bankers:-Messrs. Coutts & Co.; Drummond & Co.; Herries & Co.; Ransom & Co.; Prescott, Grote, & Co.; Smith, Payne, & Co.; Glyn & Co.; Jones Loyd & Co.; Barclay & Co.; Denison & Co.; Williams, Deacon, & Co.; Overend, Gurney, & Co.; Masterman & Co.; by Messrs.
