Office-No. 4, St. Martin's-place, Trafalgar-square. The Committee of this Association are anxious to bring to the notice of the public that their funds are very considerably reduced, whilst the demands on the Association are largely increased by the excessive prices of the first necessaries of life, and the continuance of severe weather. The Committee continue to afford every possible encouragement to the poor to deposit their small savings in the Provident Societies connected with this Association; but they regret to record, that during 1854 the high price of all the first necessaries of life operated as a check upon deposits; and that the poor are consequently deprived of much of the advantage arising from their own savings, and are thrown to an increased extent on the bounty of the benevolent. Contributions are received by the under-mentioned Bankers: And at the Office of the Association, 4, St. Martin's-place, Trafalgarsquare. The Annual Report will be forwarded on application. CRIMEAN ARMY CANDLE STOVES.-The Managing Directors of Price's Patent Candle Company beg to inform all who may feel an interest in the Company's Candle Stoves for the Army, that 200 have just now been despatched by the Crimean Committee in The absolute cost price of all stoves, fuel, lanterns, and candles sent out to the army. The weight of the packages is kept down to 56lbs. or 57lbs., in order not to exceed what a man can carry along a bad road. Three packages are, therefore, used for a stove, and the 1021bs, of fuel which accompa nies it. The cost of the stove, with this sufficient supply of fuel, packed and delivered in London, is 41. 5s., or less, if on finally winding up the account it should be found to cost less. The stoves may now be seen constantly in operation at the address below, and at the Crystal Palace, Sydenham, the Crystal Palace Company having asked for stoves to exhibit there, and Mr. Edgington having lent a tent in which to exhibit them. Copies of this advertisement will be printed off for private distribution, and will be supplied at the tent in the Crystal Palace, or by post from Vauxhall. It is hoped that by these means a sufficient number of persons with spare money will be brought to take an interest in the matter, to carry it out thoroughly, without any individuals being taxed to a burthensome amount, or any being asked to contribute at all who may have already given in one way or other for the help of the army all that they can properly be asked to give. Belmont, Vauxhall, Jan. 27, 1855. Postscript, Jan. 29.-Lord Raglan's dispatch, dated "before Sebastopol, 13th January," and appearing in the newspapers of this morning, states, that "great progress is making in disembarking and issuing to the troops vast quantities of warm clothing of all descriptions," but that "the provision of fuel is still a great difficulty." That this was written after the arrival of the supply of stoves sent out by Government is shewn by the following extract from the letter of The Times Correspondent, dated on the 8th January, five days before Lord Raglan's dispatch:-"Our fine patent stoves are wretched affairs. They are made of thin sheet iron, which cannot stand our fuel, charcoal. Besides, with charcoal, they are mere poison manufactories, and they cannot be left alight in the tent at night. They answer well for drying the men's clothes at day." The candle stoves burn through the night without attention, and with no more injury to the air of a hut than would be caused by a few candles burning in it. Pioneer, and that there are funds in hand for a few more but they beg CITY of LONDON HOSPITAL for DISEASES of at the same time to state, that, for anything like a sufficient number for the use of the army, much larger funds are needed than have yet been received, and that it is therefore desirable that all who agree with them in thinking that a sufficient number ought yet to be sent out should exert themselves to procure special subscriptions for this purpose to the Crimean Committee, at 28, Hill-street, Berkeley-square. The Committee will forward to the gentlemen who have gone out in charge of their own consignments any stoves of which the public may think fit to pay the cost and freight. Stoves hereafter sent out will not, indeed, arrive till a date by which it is hoped the worst part of the winter will be over; but if they even serve no other purpose than the mere preventing the necessity of the soldiers eating their meat raw, and sleeping in drenched clothes, for want of the means of cooking and drying, this alone would seem to be an object well worth the expenditure of a few thousand pounds, if this attempt to interest the public in the matter should succeed in raising so much. The Managing Directors do not thus apply to the public until after having tried to accomplish their object by first applying to the shareholders of the Company and their friends for private means to begin carrying it out, and then applying to Government to complete, as a matter of public service, what had been thus privately commenced. The private funds obtained for candles, cooking lanterns, candle stoves, and fuel, amounted in all to 10771. 18s. 1d., made up by the following subscriptions: The Company Four subscriptions of 1051. each. Six of 251. each One of Seven of 101. each One of Twelve of 51. each Fifty-one of smaller amounts £300 0 0 420 0 0 150 0 0 10 10 0 70 0 0 5 5 0 60 0 0 62 8 1 £1077 18 I The application to Government was, unhappily, less successful.

It having been determined, notwithstanding the heavy liabilities incurred for the completion and furnishing of the building, to open the New Hospital at the Victoria Park on the 7th March, the friends of the Charity and the benevolent public are earnestly entreated to AID the Committee in the accomplishment of this object with their kind and liberal support. This decision has been come to under a deep conviction of the urgent necessity which exists for the immediate reception of in-patients, and the Committee trust, therefore, in their endeavour to open the wards at this early period, to be sustained by the cordial and active co-operation of the public. The number of out-patients relieved at the Institution is very large, and as the means at the disposal of the Committee are quite inadequate to the extended relief now afforded, they are constrained urgently to APPEAL for further ASSISTANCE. Out-patients relieved during the last week, 643. The Committee have the pleasure to announce that a Public Festival, to commemorate the opening of the New Hospital, will be held at the London Tavern on Wednesday, the 7th March next, and that the Right Hon. the Earl of Carlisle, the President of the Institution, has kindly intimated his intention to take the chair on the occasion. Donations and subscriptions will be thankfully received by the Treasurer, H. E. Gurney, Esq., at 65, Lombard-street; the Bankers, Messrs. Barclay & Co., Messrs. Coutts & Co., and Messrs. Ransom & Co.; by the Hon. Secretary, 51, Old Broad-street; and by the Secretary, at the Office, 6, Liverpool-street, Finsbury. H. SEWELL, Hon. Sec. RICHARD P.

As this tender is still unanswered, there seems to be little hope of Government taking the matter up, unless it be to a small extent for hospital purposes, the medical authorities having approved highly of the stoves. It is understood that for general purposes the Government has already sent out some common stoves; but these, although they will be of use anywhere near the port, will be useless in the camp, on account of the great comparative weight of fuel required for them, and therefore will be no substitute for the candle stoves, with their extremely portable fuel, of which a single pound weight gives out made in a cause "Field against Tarner," the CREDITORS of LYDIA FIELD, late of Bushey, in the county of Hertford, widow, (who died in or about the month of November, 1852), are, by their solicitors, on or before the 27th day of February, 1855, to come in and prove their debts at the chambers of the Vice Chancellor Sir Richard Torin Kindersley, No. 3, Stone-buildings, Lincoln's-inn, Middlesex; or, in default thereof, they will be peremptorily excluded from the benefit of the said order.

It was hoped that the notice of the matter in The Times City article of Monday, the 8th January, backed by the Crimean Committee's notification on the following day of their readiness to receive special subscriptions for the stoves, and to forward to the Crimea any number the public might think fit to provide means for, would bring in money enough from the public for as many as were needed; but it has as yet brought in less than one-fourth of the amount previously raised privately in the Company, as already stated. It may be well to state, for the information of those who may now be hearing of the matter for the first time, that the Company is pledged made in the matter of Francis Smith, deceased, and in a cause "Anne Smith against John Rich Fussell," the CREDITORS of FRANCIS SMITH, late of Shepton Mallet, in the county of Somerset, gentleman, (who died in or about the month of August, 1854), are, by their solicitors, on or before the 22nd day of February, 1855, to come in and prove their debts at the chambers of the Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood, at No. 11, New-square, Lincoln's-inn, Middlesex; or, in default thereof, they will be peremptorily excluded from the benefit of the said order.

It has arisen under sect. 60 of the stat. 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95, by which a summons may issue, by leave of the judge, into what may be called "a foreign district," although the defendant does not reside there, provided the cause of action arose within it. These words, it will be ob- served, differ from those which are used in the con- current clause, (sect. 128), which entitles the plaintiff to sue in the superior courts when the cause of action did not wholly, or in some material point, arise within the district in which the defendant dwells. Accord- ingly it has been held, that the "cause of action" in the former section means whole cause of action, and unless it wholly arise in the foreign district, the judge has no jurisdiction to try it. It is therefore analogous to the cause of action upon application to change the venue on the common affidavit, viz. that the cause of action arose wholly in the county to which it is sought to change the venue; or to the cause of action within the old inferior jurisdictions, in which case it was necessary to allege every material traversable fact to have occurred within it. (Com. Dig., "Courts," P. (9); Peacock v. Bell, 1 Wms. Saund. 74 a). It also appears to resemble the " cause of action" within the Statute of Limitations, 21 Jac. 1, c. 16, which means a com- The latest case upon this subject is that of Hernaman v. Smith, in the Exchequer, on Saturday last. action was brought "by leave," under the 60th section, in the Newnham district of the Gloucestershire County Court, to recover a reward for the apprehension of a felon. It appeared that a placard had been issued by the defendant offering the reward "for the apprehend- ing" of the felon, and it contained the words "payment to be made on conviction." The apprehension was shewn to have taken place in Newnham, but the con- viction took place in Hereford, out of the Newnham dis- trict. The Court held, that the conviction was part of the cause of action, and therefore that it did not arise wholly within the Newnham district, and granted a writ of prohibition. The grounds of the judgment appear to have been, that the plaintiff could not recover until conviction, that the Statute of Limitations would not run until that time, and that in an action in the supe- rior courts the plaintiff must have alleged that such conviction had taken place—an allegation which was material and traversable. The Court fully recognised and acted upon the decision in the Common Pleas a few days previously, (Walton v. Borthwick, Jan. 22), in which an order for goods having been given in Oxford to a traveller for a Manchester house, and the goods having been sent from Manchester by railway, according to the defendant's request, it was held, that the whole cause of action did not arise, under the sec- tion in question, in Manchester. The order was a verbal one, although required by the Statute of Frauds D sion, which proceeded on the ground that the sale or order was a part of the cause of action. In Re Fuller (2 El. & Bl. 575) an action was brought in the county court for a legacy against an administrator. The plaintiff claimed under a will which had been made, and the testator had died, in district A., but the executor had renounced, and letters of administration had been granted to the defendant in district B. The Court of Queen's Bench held, that the grant of the letters of administration was a part of the cause of action. Crompton, J., cited the case of Murray v. The East India Company, (5 B. & Ad. 204), which was a decision to the effect, that in an action by an administrator on a bill of exchange payable to the intestate, but accepted after his death, the Statute of Limitations ran only from the time of the grant of the letters of administration, as until that period there was no person in existence capable of suing on the bill. In Buckley v. Hann (5 Exch. 43) a bill of exchange had been drawn and accepted, and the indorser had put his name upon it in the city of London, but he delivered it to the indorsee in Middlesex. It was held that the cause of action in the indorsee against the acceptor did not arise wholly in the city, because there was no indorsement until delivery. (See Marston v. Allen, 8 M. & W. 494). Part of the cause of action is the acceptance, and therefore the action cannot be brought by leave in the district in which the bill was delivered or issued, where it is a different one from that in which it was accepted. (Wilde v. Sheridan, 16 Jur., part 1, p. 426; S. C., nom. Re Birch, 1 B. C. 56*.) To these decisions may be added that of Barnes v. Marshall, (16 Jur., part 1, p. 1086; 21 L. J., Q. B., 388), in which the facts were as follow:-A carrier and wharfinger at Swindon agreed with M., who lived in Surrey, to barge timber from Swindon Wharf to London. It was necessary to haul the timber from where it lay to be loaded in the barges. A plaint was brought in the Swindon district, by leave, against M., and included two items for hauling. It was held that the hauling and carriage constituted but one cause of action, which did not arise until the delivery of the timber in London; therefore that there was no jurisdiction to try the case in the Swindon district. NOTES OF THE WEEK. The Court of Exchequer (Jan. 26) have made the rule absolute for a new trial in the case of Boyle v. Wiseman, deciding that the Chief Baron was wrong in refusing to allow the defendant to be examined, and in rejecting secondary evidence of a letter in the possession of a person out of the jurisdiction, and which the plaintiff had used due diligence to obtain. For the decision of the same Court (Jan. 27) upon the "cause of action" in sect. 60 of stat. 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95, see Leading Article. Several cases of importance have been decided upon the subject of interrogatories, for which we refer our readers to the Reports in our present Number. Hicks (Q. B., Jan. 25) the defendant had In Reg. v. *In which Coleridge, J., cited the words of Paul Voet, with reference to the lex loci contractûs in such case-" Quid si de literis cambii incidat quæstio; quis locus erit spectendus? Is spectendus est locus, ad quem sunt destinatæ, et ibidem acceptatæ." been convicted of an offence against the Market Act of Torquay, in Devon, upon an information laid by one of the inhabitants not connected with the Market Company, to whom the penalty was to be paid. The Court held, upon the construction of the act, that the Market Company only could lay the information. In Reg. v. Frere (Q. B., Jan. 24) it appeared that the Eastern Union Railway Company, on account of competition, charged a less fare for travelling from A. to C., sixty miles, than from A. to B., forty miles of the sixty. The defendant, knowing this, paid for a ticket from A. to C., but got out at B. A conviction against him, under a bye-law of the company, for entering a carriage without paying the fare, was quashed. In Jenkins v. Beetham (C. P., Jan. 31) it has been held, that although surveyors of ecclesiastical property, employed to value as between outgoing and incoming tenants, need not have an accurate knowledge of the law, or therefore of the rule laid down in very recent judicial decisions, yet they should have an accurate knowledge of the principle of valuing ecclesiastical property, as such, between incoming and outgoing tenants. Sir Fitzroy Kelly has moved (Q. B., Jan. 31) for the renewal of the certificate of Mr. W. H. Barber. He stated that the motion was made on new matter of so important a character, that he could not but entertain a confident hope that the application would be successful. The second day of next term was appointed for the motion. In Re Bates, (Jan. 27), Mr. Commissioner Phillips has decided, after consultation with Mr. Commissioner Murphy, that no bankrupt shall be allowed to apply to the Insolvent Court until he has obtained his certificate. The conflict of jurisdictions between county courts and the insolvent court has been settled by Mr. Commissioner Murphy, (Re Christy, Jan. 26), so far as he is concerned, by his refusing to interfere on behalf of a person committed by a county court judge in respect of a debt from which he had been discharged in the insolvent court. The learned commissioner acted upon Abley v. Dale, (16 Jur., part 1, p. 427), in which the Court of Common Pleas had decided, that in such cases the county court had jurisdiction under sect. 98 of stat. 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95, and might commit the defendant as upon an unsatisfied judgment. The Court of Queen's Bench, upon an application to discharge the defendant, (Jan. 31), expressed an opinion in favour of the ruling in the case in the Common Pleas. The conflict between the powers of coroner, magistrate, and commissioner of police, as to the custody of a prisoner, has been again brought before the public in the case of Baranelli, charged with the murder of Joseph Latham. In Reg. v. The Inhabitants of Fulford (Bail Court, indictment for non-repair of a highway was refused, Jan. 30) an application for a certiorari to remove an because the affidavit did not state that a fair and impartial trial could not be had in the court below, or that some question of more than usual difficulty and imof the premises was required, or that a special jury was portance was likely to arise on the trial, or that a view necessary for a satisfactory trial. One or other of these mention of the subject would have been expected, viz. allegations is required by a statute where à priori no that for preventing aggravated assaults upon women and children, (16 & 17 Vict. c. 30, s. 4). In the Admiralty Court, (Jan. 27), Dr. Lushington has given judgment in one of the Baltic blockade cases, The Franciska, a Danish schooner, which had been captured while endeavouring to enter a blockaded port. Restitution was claimed on the grounds (inter alia) that the blockade had been neither a legal nor an effective ! 1 one, and also that the vessels of Denmark and Sweden were entitled to special privileges under an old treaty. The learned judge, however, pronounced against the claim, first, because the blockade was notorious; and, secondly, because the master, having deposed falsely, and having been on his way with a full knowledge of the blockade, was deprived of any benefit from the treaty. Correspondence. TO THE EDITOR OF "THE JURIST." SIR,-As most legal subjects are undergoing more or less scrutiny and revision, would it not be very advantageous to the Profession and public to have a revision of our Stamp Laws, instead of act after act being session after session passed, and so much confusion added to a matter already very much confused? Without expressing any opinion as to the merits or demerits of "codification" generally, surely there can be but one correct opinion as to the advantages to be derived from a codification of the numerous statutes relating to stamp duties. The subject is, from its very nature, one that could and should be reduced to a certain standard, and clear and concise tables framed which would tell at a glance what duty is applicable to any case. None can deny that it is a subject of the greatest importance, nor that a remedy for the cure of the disease is very simple. The fact is patent to every practitioner in conveyancing, that after the greatest amount of pains has been expended in the preparation of his draft, he has considerable difficulty in deciding what stamp duties to mark upon it; and when his mind has arrived at a conclusion, it is with considerable doubt as to its correctness. There is no denying that the act of the 13 & 14 Vict. was a boon to that portion of the public interested in the alienation of property, especially to small purchasers and mortgagors, and consequently very much increased the number of assurances; but it left many things untouched that should speedily be dealt with. By way of illustration, (if such be needed), I may mention an instance occurring to the conveyancer almost every day of his professional life, in the use of the socalled "common deed stamp." Now, 17. 15s. is sadly too large an amount in very many small matters where that stamp is indispensable. A case is this moment under my eye, where it becomes necessary to appoint a new trustee to property of very small amount, consisting of a freehold house and garden, and a leasehold piece of land, a simple conveyance and assignment of which would be subject only to an ad valorem duty of about 15s.; but the common deed stamp will be necessary; added to which, by a fiction of law, the legal estate in leaseholds cannot be divested from the old trustee, and vested in him and a new trustee, without a mesne or intermediate assignment, (as a use cannot be declared, as in the case of a freehold); so that an additional stamp will be required. This is a severe tax upon so small a fund for simply adding a new trustee. You will excuse me drawing attention to a question which must necessarily suggest itself to the mind of every one having the most limited experience in this branch of the law; but I do so that your powerful aid may be invoked to bring about some efficient remedy for a palpable wrong. I remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, REGULE GENERALES As to the Forms of Proceedings and Process, made pursuant to the Stat. 17 & 18 Vict. c. 31, s. 4, intituled "An Act for the better Regulation of the Traffic on Railways and Canals.” [IN THE COMMON PLEAS AT WESTMINSTER.] I.
