B. from time to time receives several large sums of money on account of the firm, but refuses either to pay them over or to render any ac THE Examiners appointed for the examination of persons applying to be admitted Attor-count, although he undertook in writing to do neys, have fixed Tuesday, the 13th Nov., at half-past nine in the forenoon, at the Hall of the Incorporated Law Society, in Chancery Lane, to take the examination. The Articles of Clerkship and Assignment, if any, with answers to the questions as to due service, according to the regulations approved by the Judges, must be left on or before Thursday, the 8th Nov., at the office of the Law Society. Where the articles have not expired, but will expire during the Term, the Candidate may be examined conditionally; but the articles must be left within the first seven days of Term, and answers up to that time. If part of the Term has been served with a Barrister, Special Pleader, or London Agent, answers to the questions must be obtained from them, as to the time served with each respectively. A Paper of Questions will be delivered to each Candidate, containing questions to be answered in writing, classed under the several heads of-1. Preliminary. 2. Common and Statute Law, and Practice of the Courts. 3. Conveyancing. 4. Equity, and Practice of the Courts. 5. Bankruptcy, and Practice of the Courts. 6. Criminal Law, and Proceedings before Justices of the Peace. Each Candidate is required to answer all the Preliminary Questions (No. 1); and also to answer in three of the other heads of inquiry, viz. :-Common Law, Conveyancing, and Equity. The Examiners will continue the practice of proposing questions in Bankruptcy and in Criminal Law and Proceedings before Justices of the Peace, in order that Candidates who may have given their attention to these subjects, may have the advantage of answering such questions, and having the correctness of their answers in those departments taken into consideration in summing up the merit of their ge neral examination. Under the New Rules of Hilary Term, 1853, it is provided that every person who shall have given notice of Examination and Admission, and "who shall not have attended to be examined, or not have passed the Examination, or not have been admitted, may within ONE WEEK after the end of the Term for which such notices were given, renew the notices for Examination or Admission for the then next ensuing Term, and so from time to time as he shall think proper;" but shall not be admitted until the last day of the Term, unless otherwise ordered. This rule has been made in order to avoid the practice of giving double notices. so on the dissolution. Will a Court of Comforce a delivery of the account and the paymon Law entertain an application by A. to enment of the amount due to A., or refer the A. M. matter to the Master? STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. A., a tradesman in London, sends goods to B., residing in the East Indies, and upwards of six years elapse. Can the Statute in such case be pleaded in bar to the action? B. contracts a debt in London and shortly afterwards goes to the United States and remains abroad until the expiration of six years when he returns. Is the creditor in such a case barred of his demand? CIVIS A. FINES ON COPYHOLDS LET ON BUILDING LEASES. Considerable oppression having been experienced by reason of lords of manors exacting fines according to the rack-rents instead of the rents reserved by the building leases, which alone comprise the beneficial property of the copyholder,-the improved rent being that of the builder, it is thought a legislative enactment might be passed to prevent such extortions in future. Numerous flagrant cases of the greatest injustice could be shown; in some the pretext was that the strict terms of the licence had not been complied with, the land having inadvertently been demised for three months beyond the term defined by the licence; in other cases inasmuch as the leases had been granted by the beneficial owner under the powers of a settlement, and not by the trustee who was the tenant on the roll. The writer would feel obliged by the Profession communicating any facts of a similar character, confidentially. They may be addressed M. A., at Mr. Maxwell's, 32, Bell Yard, Lincoln's Inn. M. A.
