powers and premises unto the said B., his executors, administrators, and assigns, for the term of thirty years, and to hold all the said mines, which should be worked and gotten during the said term, unto the said B., his executors, administrators, and assigns, for his and their own benefit. A railway has lately been formed on part of the land the mines under which are comprised in B.'s deed, and B., having given the railway company notice of his intention to work the mines under the railway, it has been agreed between them, in writing, that he shall not work these mines, and that the railway company shall make him compensation. Suppose that, in pursuance of this agreement, B. does not work the mines under the railway, and that they remain unworked at the end of the thirty years-will they belong to the railway company or to A. ?-E. C. JEWKES, Wolverhampton-street, Dudley.

No. 38.-Apprentice attaining his majority. Is an apprentice obliged to continue in his master's service after he has attained his majority?-JOHN H. TATTERSALL, 15, Lower Bank, Blackburn.

No. 39.-Physician's attendance-Suit for fees.-Is a physician obliged to attend his patient when called upon, and has he a right to recover his fees ?-JOHN H. TATTERSALL, 15, Lower Bank, Blackburn.

No. 40.-Sale of a mortgage.-A. mortgaged an estate to B. for £1,500, then to C. for £1,200; B. sells his charge to D. for £1,000 -Is D. entitled, as against C., to the whole debt of £1,500, or only to the £1,000 he paid?-JOHN H. TATTERSALL, 15, Lower Bank, Blackburn.

No. 41.-Execution and bankruptcy.-A. makes a bill of sale to B., which is duly registered, &c. B., wishing to exercise his power, puts a man in possession of the goods, and advertises them for sale. Whilst the man is in possession, and before the day advertised for the sale, A. becomes bankrupt, and the messenger of the Bankruptcy Court seizes the goods, and sells them, in defiance of B., on behalf of the assignees. Is this proceeding on the part of the assignees legal, or has B. any remedy against them?-ROBERT DOBELL, jun., Ashburton, Devon.

No. 42.-A policy of assurance is assigned to secure £100 and interest, and in the assignment is contained a power of distress in default of payment of the premium, "as in cases of distress between landlord and tenant." What is there to prevent the exercise of the power? It is contended that there is no relation as between landlord and tenant, and that, therefore, the power cannot be exercised ROBERT DOBELL, jun., Ashburton, Devon.

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.

LAW CLASSES. In the next number we hope to be able to give the plan proposed for Law Classes in connection with the lectures at the Incorporated Law Society. No doubt ample notice will be given of the introduction of the system, and we suppose reasonable provision will be made to suit the convenience of country articled clerks. There can be no doubt that the classes may be made useful, as is found to be the case with students for the bar.

LAW REPORTS.-There is no certainty as to the appearance of the proposed new series of reports. No doubt can be entertained of the utility of the reports, but the only doubt is as to the extent of the support they would receive. Unfortunately the profession is overwhelmed with reports, many of them containing cases of no possible utility, and thus the pockets and time of professional men are unduly taxed and taken up. The weekly reports have become a nuisance which it is desirable to abate, and we see no other means of doing this than through the proposed series of reports.

Jus.-There can be no harm in reading works on the civil law, though, notwithstanding all that has been said in favour of such a practice, we fear you will find little that will be of service to you in your study of English law. We are assuming that you propose to become a solicitor, and are not proposing to study for the bar, students for which may find the civil law useful, inasmuch as it forms part of the regular course of study, and the examination for honours includes a course of the civil law, and attendance on the lectures is therefore requisite.

A SUBSCRIBER. You cannot go up for intermediate examination before Michaelmas Term, 1865. The present books are Chitty on Contracts, and Williams' Real Property, but whether they will be your books will depend on the time at which you go up for exami

MOOT POINTS.

No. 43.-Recovery of Legacy.-A., a testator, bequeathed all his personal estate to C. (a married woman), D., and E., and appointed D. and E. (the husband of C.) executors of his will. A. deposited £45 with D., one of the executors, and died a short time afterwards. He left no property other than this £45. D. will not divide the amount deposited with him. What proceedings will it be best for C., the wife of the other executor, to adopt to obtain a division? E. will not take any steps in the matter.-GEO. CRUMBIE (31, High Petergate, York).

RESULT OF EXAMINATIONS.

TRINITY TERM, 1865.

Ar the final examination in Trinity Term last there were 157 candidates, out of which number 143 passed, leaving fourteen as the number of the rejected, which is not so large a percentage as on some former occasions, though it is larger than it ought to be.
