tour, of ten or twelve days, he and Lord GENTLEMEN'S OUTFITTERS
Derby have shown themselves more than usually anxious that the correspondents should have every facility and considera- tion in reporting the proceedings. Clearly the King recognises the great part newspapers play in moder, life and feels that this best way he can come into touch" with all his subjects is through the medium of the news that comes to every breakfast table. This action in Lanca shire is in accord with his previcus spirit. ever since his accession, and indeed before that event. The special respondents who accompanied the then. Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York on their tour of the world on the Ophir, a dozen years ago were unanimous in their acknowledgments of the kindness of their future King. Two years ago His Majesty issued a special welcome to the Institute of Journalists on their visit to Balmoral. and still later, when a Royal Thank- giving Service was held at St. Paul's Cathedral on the return of Their Majesties from India, he made some sharp com- ments on the unsatisfactory arrangements for the Press that the officials have ever since been careful to remember.
EAT DAYS FOR LAWYERS."
Eir
These are fat days for lawyers, what- ever other folk may have to say. There, was the case for breach of promise against the new Marquis of Northampton, which brought to Miss Daisy Markham, the actress in question, a enol £50,000 ns solatium. The young peer in a letter to her breaking off the engagement. told her he did not wish to marry her because that would expose her to much cruel treatment at the hands of so-called ladies' Society. This statement is the basis of much animated discussion in social circles and in the Piness, and the defenders of Society are quoting with much effect. several well-known cases of neltesses who have leaped to high station and theref hase acquitted themselves se well as to make i their way into very exclusive circles indeed. The case was settled by apren ment for the huge amount mentioned, but an unusual array of Counsel were briefed. and it is said that the defendant will have to pay on that hond nearly ten thousand pounds in addition to the sum the lady obtains. She is a singularly demure look- ing lady, with a quick apprehension, whe has filled many theatrical rôles with average merit.
I hear that the peer wanted to hand the money over to her. but took this legal method because that relieved him of possible squabbles with his family as ta surb a voluntary act. As to the netress, I hear that she has sinc had many proposals from theatrical managers.
Then there has been the great million will ease in which Lady Sackville bas enverged with £500,000 in he credit, in spite of the combined efforts of the rela tives of the late Sir John Scott to prove. undue influence. With that she will be well able to maintain her splendid home. of Knole Park in Kent, which enshrines in a fitting selling many of the beautiful treasures that the lavish art lover who enused all this truable collected during his lifetime. Lady Sackville bas emerged perhaps a little damaged in the eyes of the ordinary public, but to the careful and impartial mind there was no other possible verdict, and, as Mr. Justice Evans stated in his sunming-up, it in very probable nothing would have come before the Court had the beneficiary in question been e man instead of a very fascinating and clever woman
Here again the fees and refreshers of Counsel alone amount to something like ten thou sand pounds, and only the expenses of the executor. Mr. Capron, are allowed to come out of the estate. It may be. therefore, that the members of the Seatt family are sorry they spoke."

The trouble is accen- hunted by the fact that a score or so of the learned gentlemen of the Bar attract the vast bulk of the briefs and the cash, while there are hundreds of their brethren yearning for opportunities to show their forensic skill. The president of the Law Society. Mr. Samson, last year ventilated the matter, and this week he has made an interesting statement as to the steps solicitors are taking to bring about a reasonable change. Two points are re- riving special attention. The first is a South coast China between 'ke same growing practieg at the Bar to put in a

The second is that the battle between two branches of the legal rofession principally turns on this em tention the insistence by the Bar on a fee of two-thiris for the junior Coups For save yours now, I hear, solicitors have been setting their faces against the old method of marking junior, briefs and the business world has heen supporting the solicitors. In cases where Silks of front rank reputation are engaged at huge fees it seems hard on the unfortunate litigants that they should also have to Day two-thirds of that special figure to the inuiors in the case.
