This Society transacts all the usual business of Life Assurance.
It is based upon a principle which will combine the benefits of Mutual
Assurance with the guarantee of a Subscribed Capital of ONE MILLION

Whilst perfect Security is thus given, the number and character of the Shareholders (consisting of nearly 500 Members of the Legal Profession) will command a large amount of business, and consequent ad vantages will arise to the Assured.

Tables of Premiums have been prepared expressly for this Office, by to the real law of mortality.

WE return to the Small Debts Act, (the 9 & 10 Vict. c. 95), for the purpose of considering one of the provisions most materially affecting its operation, viz. the 91st, which regulates the mode in which litigants may appear by professional agents, and the scale of fees according to which such agents are to be remunerated. • The 91st section is in the following words:-" That no person shall be entitled to appear for any other party to any proceeding in any of the said courts unless he be an attorney of one of her Majesty's superior courts of record, or a barrister at law instructed by such attorney on behalf of the party, or, by leave of the judge, any other person allowed by the judge to appear instead of such party; but no barrister, attorney, or other person, except by leave of the judge, shall be entitled to be heard to argue any question as counsel for any other person in any proceeding in any court holden under this act; and no person, not being an attorney admitted to one of her Majesty's superior courts of record, shall be entitled to have or recover any sum of money for appearing or acting on behalf of any other person in the said court; and no attorney shall be entitled to have or recover, therefore, any sum of money, unless the debt or damage claimed shall be more than 40s., or to have or recover more than 10s. for his fees and costs, unless the debt or damage claimed shall be more than 57., or more than 158. in any case within the summary jurisdiction given by this act; and in no case shall any fee exceeding 11. 3s. 6d. be allowed for employing a barrister as counsel in the cause; and the expense of employing a barrister or an attorney, either by plaintiff or defendant, shall not be allowed on taxation of costs in the case of a plaintiff where less than 57. is recovered, or in the case of a defendant where less than 57. is claimed, or in any case unless by order of the judge."

[blocks in formation]

The first thing to be noticed upon the construction of this section is, that a distinction is made between simply appearing for a party, and being heard to argue any question for him. Any attorney, or any barrister instructed by such attorney, may, it would seem, appear in a county court, under the act, on behalf of a party, without leave of the judge; but he may not argue a question without such leave. What he may do under the head of "appearing," is not clear. Probably, the intention is, that he may examine witnesses, and generally advise the party how to proceed, and do, in fact, anything short of addressing an argument to the court; but, as it is not a very easy matter to say what is mere commentary on the proceedings as they occur, not being argument, and what is argument, it will follow, that, where the court refuses leave to argue, unless it is also ruled, that the professional person appearing, is prohibited from opening his lips, except by way of private advice to his client, the course of proceeding will be likely to be a running fight between the advocate and the judge, the advocate struggling to get as near an argument as he can, and the judge perpetually checking and interrupting him. For their own comfort, we doubt not that the judges will, in all cases where a professional person is employed, give him leave to appear and conduct his client's case throughout.

With regard to the fees, there can be no doubt that the intention of the Legislature was, that no attorney should be entitled to have or recover, for the whole business of conducting a case in and out of court, more than the prescribed fees, viz. 10s. if the debt is under 5l., and 15s. if the debt is above that; but whether the language of the section carries this intention into execution, is another question. The restriction upon the attorney's claim to fees is for "appearing or acting on behalf of any other person in the said court." The question will turn, therefore, upon the meaning of the

then farewell to cheap justice. We confess we have not brilliant anticipations of the working of any County Courts Act that does not proceed upon the plan so often advocated in this journal, of providing public advocates and attornies, paid, in part, at any rate, by the state. If the poor man is entitled to cheap justice, and if it be the fact, that he cannot get it good as well as cheap, in courts constituted on ordinary principles, why should the state, while holding itself liable to create judges expressly for him, conceive it an infringement of the rights of other classes-an unwarrantable tax upon the public purse-to give him that; and which it is admitted, by the very acts of the Legislature itself, he cannot pay for, and without which good judges can only half help him, viz. competent professional assistance?

words"in the said court." Will those words include all business done in relation to a litigation conducted in the county court, or will they be confined to the business actually of record? Suppose a claim brought on a balance of an account between a higgler and a petty publican, the account consisting of some hundreds of loose scraps of paper on either side, mixed up with parol evidence of petty payments: would the attorney's labour in advising his client upon the value, as evidence, of his various proofs, and the other pleasant little points which might arise in such a case, if a plaint was filed, be acting in his behalf in the said court? Or take a running-down case, or any other case, trivial or not, where much evidence would have to be collected and sifted before a party could be advised to file his plaint: would the attorney's preliminary advice and assistance be within the words of the 91st section? If it would not, then that section is plainly emasculated; if it would, then it is more than doubtful whether the effect of the 91st section will not be to make it impracticable for the services of a competent attorney to be obtained, in the very and only class of cases in An Act for the further Amendment of the Acts for the Exwhich, under this act, they would be requisite, viz. where there are difficulties of fact or law; for it will be observed, that the words prohibiting the attorney from receiving more than the specified costs are very strong-" he shall not be entitled either to have or to recover." It is clear, that, under this section, an express agreement for larger fees would not be binding on the client; and we conceive that the clause goes further, and that the attorney could not even retain fees voluntarily paid, since he is not entitled to have, which must here, we apprehend, mean to hold.

PUBLIC GENERAL STATUTES.
9 & 10 VICTORIA.-SESSION 6.

CAP. I.

tension and Promotion of Public Works in Ireland.

CAP. II.

[5th March, 1846.]

An Act to authorise Grand Juries in Ireland, at the Spring Assizes of the present Year, to appoint Extraordinary Presentment Sessions; to empower such Sessions to make Presentment for County Works, and to provide Funds for the Execution of such Works; and also to provide for the more prompt Payment of Contractors for Works under Grand Jury Presentments in Ireland.

CAP. III.

[5th March, 1846.]

An Act to encourage the Sea Fisheries of Ireland, by promoting and aiding with Grants of Public Money the Construction of Piers, Harbours, and other Works.

CAP. IV.

[5th March, 1846.]

An Act to amend the Acts for promoting the Drainage of Lands, and Improvement of Navigation and Water Power in connexion with such Drainage, in Ireland; and to afford Facilities for increased Employment for the labouring Classes in Works of Drainage during the present Year.

[5th March, 1846.]

But, though the Legislature appears to have been so very anxious to prevent the expense of the ordinary business of these courts from being swollen by the intervention of attornies with bills of costs on the ordinary scale, and though it appears also to have intended to exclude the increase of expense by the intervention of counsel, by declaring that in no case shall a fee exceeding one guinea be allowed for employing counsel, this last clause entirely loses its protective force, by the absence of any attempt (an attempt which we do not say ought to have been made) to apply to the barrister, the personal prohibition laid upon the attorney, against his having a larger fee than the prescribed one. The consequence is, that, though, clearly, no attorney could recover from his client a fee paid by him to counsel exceeding one guinea, there is nothing to prevent the party giving to his attorney voluntarily, any sum that he thinks fit to instruct him to give to counsel; and clearly the fee could not be recovered back from counsel. We see nothing, therefore, in this act that should prevent a suitor in the county court, having obtained leave to An Act to apply the Sum of Eight Millions out of the Conso

appear and argue by counsel, from retaining, if rich enough, counsel of the greatest eminence. Clearly, this was never contemplated by the Legislature, and so far the 91st section has miscarried.

There is, undoubtedly, infinite difficulty in constituting a court for administering justice, which shall be both cheap and good, and decorously administered. If a miserable scale of fees, such as that of the present act, is enforced, the tendency is to introduce a very low standard of practice; if such a scale is not enforced,
