 EDITOR'S PREFACE. 
 
 The present work is intended to serve as a companion volume to 
 *' Moore's Practical Forms of Agreements," and therefore contains 
 numerous examples of those kinds of documents (such as acknowledg- 
 ments, affidavits, cases for the opinion of counsel, conditions of sale, 
 consents, declarations, demands, notices, proposals to treat, protests, 
 receipts, valuations, &c.) which often precede the formation of the 
 agreement, or bring it to a close, or call attention to its breach. 
 
 In addition to these, and in view of the varied requirements of a 
 country solicitor's office, a number of forms have been introduced 
 drawn from the schedules of recent statutes, Treasury regulations, 
 Knles of Court and other sources, principally relating to bankruptcy, 
 bills of sale, borough and county elections and registration (muni- 
 cipal and parliamentary), building, friendly, and other kindred 
 societies, guarantees, landlord and tenant, probate and letters of 
 administration, and other matters of daily practice. 
 
 In the important subject of legacy and succession duty, the blank 
 
 forms supplied by the Inland Kevenue Department have been inserted, 
 
 filled up in such a way as to include a number of variations, so as, it 
 
 is hoped, to assist the practitioner to comply with the troublesome 
 
 conditions resulting from the intricacies of the death dut-es. 
 
 The ever recurring question of stamps has been met by a note on 
 the subject appended to such of the forms as require them, and a 
 special title (Stamps) has been devoted to those forms of memorials, 
 corrective affidavits, and declarations, which are necessary to obtain 
 the return of stamp duty, whether paid in the shape of spoiled 
 stamps or in connection with probates and letters of administration.

 vi PREFACE. 
 
 Eeferences to the statutes and rules in force relating to the various 
 forms, and to eases illustrative of tliem, will be found in the notes, 
 and opportunity has been taken where it seemed particularly advis- 
 able (as for example under the heads of Distress and Eetainer) to 
 add a few words on the law, with the view of guarding the young 
 practitioner from those pitfalls into which the unwary might stumble. 
 
 The subject of pleadings (except as incidentally involved in forms 
 of affidavits in interpleader, or under Order XIV., &c.) and of wills 
 (except in the form of affidavits for probate and letters of administra- 
 tion, &c.) have been purposely omitted, as being beyond the scope 
 of the present work ; but under the head of Statement of cause of 
 action (for insertion in an affidavit of debt) will be found a number 
 of forms which will serve as precedents for County Court claims. 
 
 It may be objected that in some cases the paragraphs are too 
 numerous, and the phrases embodying the legal claim or right too 
 copious in language, but the forms have been so drawn in order that 
 the practitioner may select the particular paragraphs and words which 
 best suit the circumstances of the case he has in hand. 
 
 When looking for the form he requires, the reader is requested to 
 turn to the Index and not to rely upon the Table of Contents, because 
 the headings are necessarily arbitrary, and therefore misleading ; as, 
 for example, the whole of the forms relating to bankruptcy are 
 alphabetically arranged under that heading in the Index, but under 
 the title " Bankruptcy " in the Table of Contents only those few 
 forms will be found relating to that subject which have escaped 
 absorption under the heads of declarations, minutes, notices, peti- 
 tions, receipts, &c. So again the whole of the affidavits throughout 
 the book are grouped together under that heading in the Index, 
 but under the title " Affidavits " only the essential features of an 
 affidavit of debt in respect of the deponents, the subject-matter, and 
 the form of jurat are given, the complete form of affidavit relating 
 to each subject being scattered under the respective titles. 
 
 For the occasional references in the notes to the existing County 
 Court Rules 1875 to 1884, the reader is requested to substitute
 
 PREFACE. Vii 
 
 "Tlie County Court Eules 1886," which consolidate the former and 
 come into force on the 28th day of April next ; and in respect of 
 proceedings on the Crown side of the Queen's Bench Division the 
 attention of the practitioner is further directed (particularly under 
 the heading " Bail ") to the forms in the appendix to the " Crown 
 Office Rules 1886 " which come into force on the same day.

 Of a Deed by a Married Woman (a). 
 
 This Deed was this day produced before me, and acknowledged 
 by {christian name), the wife of {name in full of husband), therein 
 
 (a) By the Rules issued in January, 1883, under the Conveyancing Act, 1882 (45 
 &46 Vict. c. 39), the practice in respect of these acknowledgments has been altered, 
 the certificate and affidavit rendered unnecessary, and all the forms, but one, abolished. 
 Only one Commissioner is required, but he must not be "interested or concerned" 
 in the transaction giving rise to the acknowledgment (rule 1), though the deed will 
 not be impeachable on that ground only (s. 7, sub-s. 3 of the Act). The solicitor 
 " concerned in the transaction " must not be present when the acknowledgment is 
 taken (r. 2). The memorandum of acknowledgment is slightly altered from that in 
 use under s. 8-i of the Fines and Recoveries Act, but it may still be placed iu the 
 margin, at the foot, or at the back of the deed (r. 3). By these alterations, not only 
 will the difficulty of getting, in small country towns, two Commissioners together, 
 be avoided, but a considerable saving of expense will be effected, though difficulty 
 may arise, if the deed containing the memorandum indorsed and signed by the Com- 
 missioner be lost, and the Commissioner dead. 
 
 The following are the questions to be put by the Commissioner to the party making 
 the acknowledgment, being first satisfied that she is of full age, and of competent 
 understanding : — 
 
 1. Do you acknowledge this deed {producing it) to be your act and deed ? 
 
 2. Do you know that it is intended to pass all your estate and interest in the 
 
 property therein comprised ? 
 
 3. Do you freely and voluntarily give up such your estate and interest therein, 
 
 without having any provision made for you in lieu of, or in return for, or 
 in consequence of your so giving up your interest in such estate ? 
 If a provision has been made, the following question must then be put : — 
 
 4. What is the provision which has been made for you in lieu of, or in return 
 
 for, or in consequence of your so giving up such your interest in the said 
 estate? 
 And then the Commissioner must not take the acknowledgment " until he is satis- 
 fied that such provision has been actually made by some deed or writing produced 
 to him ; or, if such provision shall not have been actually made before, then he shall 
 require the terms of the intended provision to be shortly reduced into writing, and 
 shall verify the same by his signature in the margin, or at the foot, or at the back 
 thereof" (r. 2). 
 
 The party making the acknowledgment may reside in any other county than that 
 in which the property respecting; which it is made is situate, and for which the

 named to be her act and deed {V) previous to wliich acknowledg-

 separately and apart from her husband (e) touching her knowledge 
 of the contents of the said deed, and her (/) consent thereto and (g) 
 declared the same to be freely and voluntarily executed by her, and 
 (A) I declare that I am not interested or concerned either as a party 
 or as a solicitor or clerk to the solicitor, for one of the parties or 
 otherwise in the transaction giving occasion for the said acknowledg-

 The Parties making the Affidavit. 
 
 I {the deponent), (g) of D., in the county of , Grocer, make 
 
 oath and say : — 
 
 (e) Practically the regulations as to the forms in use, and the mode of swearing 
 affidavits are the same now in a'l Courts. For the general rules in the High Court, 
 see Rules of Supreme Court, 1883, Ord. 38, rr. 2-24, and when sitting in bankruptcy, 
 see Bankruptcy Rules, 1883, rr. 39-50. As to stamping affidavits and the use of 
 office copies : see rule 15 of the above order of ttie High Court, and as to the exemp- 
 tion from stamp duty (except as to fees) of affidavits in proceedinscs in any Court, 
 and in bankruptcy, see Stamp Act, 1870, tit. Affidavit., and s. 144 of the Bank- 
 ruptcy Act, 1883, and Nos. 47, 51, and 52 of the above rules in bankruptcy. 
 
 Affidavits should be entitled in the court in which the action (if any) is, or in which 
 they are to be used, and in the cause or matter in which they are made, and also bear a 
 reference to the record. They should be drawn up in the first person and be set out 
 in separate paragraphs, confined, as far as possible, to a distinct portion of the suljject, 
 and the paragraphs should be numbei-ed consecutively, but figures relating to dates 
 and sums are allowed, though in the Probate Division both dates and su7ns, and, in 
 affidavits to be used in the Pay Office, sums, should be written in words. _ Even in 
 jurats the date of the year is now stated in figures, but where any doubt arises as to 
 the propriety of employing figures, the words should be used. 
 
 Any interlineations or alterations must be authenticated by the initials of the 
 officer or person taking the affidavit, and any words written on an erasure must be 
 rewritten and signed or initialled in the margin of the affidavit by him.

 (d) The consideration actually paid or given must be truly stated and in words at 
 length, Jachson v. Wanuich, 7 T. R. 121, and the deed cannot be given in evidence 
 unless the party producing it can prove the fact. See 8 Anne, c. 9, s. 43. The pre- 
 mium is usually paid either in moieties or by instalments : one half, or a portion, on 
 the execution of the deed of apprenticeship, and the other at the expiration of half, or 
 lesser, or other portions of the term. In these cases this part of the deed should be 
 
 varied accordingly, thus — in consideration of pounds sterling paid — or, and 
 
 secured— to be paid by the said {fatlwr) in manner following, namely the sum of 
 
 pounds, being one moiety thereof, upon the execution hereof (the receipt whereof is 
 
 hereby acknowledged) and the remaining moiety thereof, on the day of — — ,

 the acceptance of the said {father) of the bill of exchange of the said {master) bearing 
 even date herewith ;— He the {master), &c. {as above), Or, if all the premium is to 
 be payable by instalments, it can be stated thus, — in manner following, namely the 
 
 sum of pounds, part thereof, on the day of next, the further sum of 
 
 , pounds, other part thereof on the day of next ; and the sum of 
 
 pounds, being the remaining part thereof, on the day of , in the year 18— ; 
 
 such several sums being secured to be so paid to the said (master) by the promissory 
 note of the said (father) bearing even date herewith, He the said (master), &c. (as 
 above). When the premium, or any part of it, is thus secured, it is proper to state 
 it on the face of the deed so as to show the true consideration for the security, and 
 as each instalment is paid care should be taken to see that a receipt for it is duly 
 endorsed on the back of the deed. 
 
 If no premium be paid with the apprentice, or wages are to be given, omit the 
 words within brackets and proceed as in the term down to the wonl " finding," and 
 then add, instead of the remainder of that clause : And also will pay unto the said 
 apprentice weekly— r;/-, monthly— the weekly— or, monthly— wages following, namely : 
 
 shillings per week during the first year; shillings per week during the 
 
 second year ; shillings per week during the third year ; and shillings per 
 
 week during the last year of the said term. 
 
 in many trades, apprentices arc particularly exposed to accidents, and in others 
 such as bricklayers, carpenters, &c., works are frequently stn]i]Kd during severe 
 weather, and therefore the following stipidation is sometimes made— Provided always, 
 and it is hereby mutually agreed, that, in case the said apprentice shall, from illness, 
 
 severe weather, or other cause be prevented or unable to work for the space of 
 
 consecutive days ( >tsii i//i/ M:reii) or upwards, the said wages shall cease to be payable at 
 
 the expiration of the first days next after every such cessation of his services, and 
 
 shall not again commence until such services shall be resumed. Fur a funn ot covenant 
 i.roviding for the return of a portion of the premium in the event of total incapacity 
 of the apiirentice through illness, see ]). 248 of Derby v. Ilmnber, L. K. 2 C. P. 247. 
 The master may also ])rotect himself against strikes and other imiiediments to his

 carpenter or bricklayer, or both, but several other businesses, as those of an excavator, 
 plumber, glazier, slater, painter, paper-hanger, &c., and sometimes that of an architect 
 likewise ; all of which the apprentice ought to learn so far as the master can teach 
 him, so as to qualify him for a similar business, and it is a breach of a contract of 
 apprenticeship for a master who has covenanted to teach several trades to cease to 
 carry on one of them as in EUis v. Topx>, 6 Exch. 424, where the master covenanted 
 to teach the apprentice in the art of an auctioneer, appraiser, and cornfactor, and 
 relinquished the trade of cornfactor ; but with ordinary workmen the instruction is 
 confined to one or two of such trades as carpenter and joiner, plumber and glazier, 
 painter and paper-hanger, and the like. 
 
 (/) The master usually finds tools, and where this is the case here insert the word ; 
 but if the parent is to find all necessaries, as in cases of outdoor apprentices, the 
 words meat, drink, lodging, washing, mending, tools, and all other necessaries, during 
 the said term, should be added to the father's covenant and omitted here.

 of the jury on the inquest taken before him, as he therein states he 
 had no alternative but to issue his warrant for the commitment of the

 (s) Sometimes persons charged with murder are found guilty on the coroner's 
 inquest and bail is refused, but are not deemed so by the justices, and therefore they 
 refuse to commit. la such cases, as -well as others, application .should be made to a 
 judge, who seldom refuses it, except in very serious matters. For the purpose of 
 these applications this kind of affidavit, with an additional affidavit by third persons 
 as to facts, or at least as to character, varying, of course, according to the circum-

 which said sum he the said (vendor) hereby acknowledges), He, the

 full power and the sole and absolute right to sell and assign the said 
 chattels in manner aforesaid ; And that the said (purchaser) shall

 of sale by a trader of all his stock-in-trade and efiects, especially if given for a pre- 
 existing debt, is an act of bankruptcy, and void against his creditors. So as to a 
 part, unless made with the honest intentioa of enabling him to carry on his business, 
 if the bill of sale, though absolute in form, is given to secure the jiayment of money 
 it will be void as infringing s. 9 of the Bills of Sale Amendment Act, 1882.

 Witness, A. 
 
 W. E. B. 
 
 At the time of making this contract the vendor expressly stated 
 to the purchaser tluit there was some dispute as to the title of the 
 estate, and requested that it miijht be left out of the contract as he 
 could not make the title good. The purchaser insisted upon its being 
 inserted and said he wouUl take the title as it was. Tlie purchaser's 
 solicitor, however, after the abstract was delivered, required the title 
 to be made perfect in all respects, which the vendor refused to do. 
 This opposition was kept up till 18 — , the vendor having in the 
 meantime completed the title to part, and to that to which the 
 difference above alluded to were attached, he completed as far as he 
 could, and the purchaser sent the drafts of his conveyance, &c., for 
 the vendor's perusal, and some of the engrossments for execution. 
 
 The purcliaser now refuses to complete the purchase unless he is 
 allowed iuterr-st on his purchase-money, pounds for dilapida- 
 tions, and pounds for law expenses, making together 
 
 pounds ; and he refuses to rescind the contract without receiving 
 interest upcm his purchase-money and his law expenses amounting to 
 the same sum. 
 
 Your opinion is therefore desired on behalf of the vendor on the 
 following points ; — 
 
 circumstances shDuld neither be magnified nor diminislictl, neither glossed nor 
 bluned. They should be stated in ciirouological order. No hj^pothesis should be 
 used, except to bridge over a chasm which might otherwise interrupt the connection 
 of the subjects, in which case it should be introduced thus — it is believed so and so is 
 the case, but there is no available evidence of it at present. Neither shoukl any 
 arguments be used. All counsel wants is the facts. Pie will apply his own views and 
 the law to them. It is, however, allowable when there are discrepancies in the 
 statements of witnesses or conflicts in the analogous cases. But then it should be 
 shown somewhat after this manner— it is presumed that inasmuch as A. had better 
 means, or greater opportunities of acquiring a knowledge of the circumstances than 
 B., his evidence is more reliable than the latter—or, he would make the better witness 
 — or, that which A. states cannot be true. So as to cases : it may be said that the 
 case A. v. B. seems strongly in point with this, but, it will be seen, it dilfers in this, 
 itc. (stating it). So with regard to local customs. They might aud ought to be 
 explained, if uncommon, so that their local acceptation and operation may be properly 
 miderstood. So any seientiiic term or matter should be exi)laincd with which it may 
 be reasonably su2)[)osed counsel will not be fully acquainted. The case too should 
 show on whose behalf the opinion is desired; for that is often material for him 
 to know in order to direct the^earings of it. So as to the points upon which the 
 opinion is required. These should be stated separately, for it saves him the troul)le 
 of rambling over tlie whole statement without knowing uik)U what particular points 
 he is to advise, and enables him at once to turn his attention to them and give direct 
 and specific, and therefore the more valuable, replies to each. For a variety of cases 
 relating chietly to real estate, with the opinions of eminent counsel annexed thereto,

 Case. 
 
 W. C, by his will, bequeathed to his nephew J. C, a soldier in 
 Her Majesty's service, certain leasehold property to hold to him, his 
 executors, administrators, and assigns, during all his, the testator's, 
 term and interest therein. Testator died on the 16th August, 18 — . 
 Will proved of November following. 
 
 J. C. survived the testator, but died on his way home from India, 
 
 leaving a will dated June, 18 — , whereby he left M. A., the wife 
 
 of D. F., his universal legatee. 
 
 Administration with the will annexed (no executor being ap- 
 pointed) was granted to Mrs. F. on the of December, 18 — , who 
 
 thereupon with her husband, claimed possession of the property in 
 question. 
 
 The widow and executrix of the first testator required payment of 
 the legacy duty before she gave up the possession, but this being 
 rel'used, and she much harassed, gave up possession without receiving 
 it ; and she has since been compelled to pay tiie duty to the officers 
 of Inland Revenue. 
 
 She is therefore now, with her husband, desirous of enforcing pay- 
 ment of the duty. 
 
 You will therefore be pleased to advise whether or not she can do 
 so, and if so, in whose name the action should be brought.

 Case. 
 
 Mr. L. M., by his will, dated the day of January, 18 — , gave 
 
 as follows : — 
 
 I give and bequeath my lifehold property at Cowgrovo, aforesaid 
 (held by the life of my nephew G. M.), and also the sum of £100 
 sterling unto the said G. M. absolutely, during all my estate term, 
 and therein subject to the payment and ])erf()rmance of the rent and 
 covenants in the lease, by which I hold the same, contained. 
 
 This estate consistsof a dwelling-house and building, in bad repair, 
 and about or acres of land. 
 
 The testator, who occupied his own estates, died on the day
 
 PRACTICAL FORMS. 89 
 
 of , last, leaving the lands tilled and cropped (with his others) in 
 
 due course of agriculture. 
 
 There is no specific bequest of his stock or crops in his will, nor 
 are they specifically mentioned in the residuary clause under which 
 they pass, with other personal estate, to his executor in trust lor 
 divers legatees. 
 
 The testator's estate consisted of copyhold as well as freehold and 
 lifehold property. Of this copyhold he died seized and in possession ; 
 and his own being the last life by which it was held, it reverted to 
 the lord of the manor, at his death, subject to the widowhood of his 
 widow, who, by the custom of the manor, is indisputably entitled to 
 the whole, and will be shortly admitted to it for her widowhood. 
 
 The buildings upon this (copyhold) property, however, are also in 
 want ol considerable repair, and the lord has power by the custom to 
 enforce them ; but there is no special power given by the will to the 
 executrix to do them. 
 
 These lands were likewise left by the testator at his death in tillage 
 and cropped in due course of agriculture, but no mention is made of 
 them or of the crops in the will. 
 
 Your opinion is desired on behalf of the executors on the following 
 points : — 
 
 1. Whether Mr. G. M., the devisee, is entitled to the crops on 
 
 the lifehold property devised to him, and if so, whether the 
 executors are not entitled to be paid for the tillage and seed, 
 and whether the executors are, or are not, bound to repair the 
 buildings thereon ? 
 
 2. Whether" the widow is entitled to the crops on the copy- 
 
 holds ; and if so, if the executors are entitled to be paid for 
 the seed and tillage, or whether the crops belong exclusively 
 to the executois as emblements. 
 And whether the executors are, or are not, bound to repair the 
 buildings on this property? 
 
 No. CXLL 
 
 Case. 
 
 Mr. a. B. will be pleased to peruse the accompanying abstract and 
 conditions of sale and advise on behalf of the intended but unwilling 
 purchaser whether or not the title is such as he can be compelled to 
 accept. 
 
 The most important question seems to be that whether the land 
 (16a. 3r. Op.) passed under the word "Tenements" in the sense in 
 which it appears to have been used in the lease in connexion with 
 the word " messuages." It is contended that it being used with the 
 latter word, thus, " messuages or tenements," it refers to the build- 
 ings, or at most to the homestead, and not to the land which forms 
 no part of the homestead. To obviate this the stewards of the lessor 
 say that the description is the same as in the old lease, and offer to
 
 90 FRACllCAL FORMS. 
 
 endorse on the license to assign what lands ihey snppose the word 
 " tenement " to comprise, but it is submitted this will nut be suffi- 
 cient to answer the purpose of an express grant. 
 
 The next important questicm is witli respect to the surrender of 
 the old lease. It appears that the new lease was granted in con- 
 sideration of the surrender of a former lease, winch had not expired, 
 but was depending upon one of the lives ; but it does not appear, nor 
 has it been explained, whether or not that lease was surrendered by 
 deed, though it is submitted it must be, under the 8 & 9 Yict. c. 106, 
 s. 3, so as to give due effect to the new one. 
 
 The solicitor for the vendor refuses to recognize the note appended 
 by the auctioneer to the contract at the time of signing it with 
 respect to giving possession, as he says the auctioneer had no autho- 
 rity to make it, although he does not dispute his agency in effecting 
 the sale and signing the contract. It is presumed, however, that the 
 addenda is sufficient to vary the terms of the conditions so as to give 
 the purchaser the right to possession at the periods therein stated.

 Case. 
 
 On the of , 18 — , A. B. [late of, &c.], Yeoman, made 
 
 [and published] his last Wdl, in writing, a copy whereof is left here- 
 with, and died on the day of following [which was before 
 
 the Statute of Wills (7 W. IV. & 1 Vict. c. 26) came into operation.] 
 
 The testator had three children — a son, named John, who died a 
 
 bachelor in his lifetime, namely, on the day of , 18 — ; a 
 
 daughter, now the wife of W. W., named Sarah, who is a devisee and 
 legatee under the will ; and another daughter, named Jane, who 
 married J. D., and also died in the testator's lifetime, namely, in the 
 year 18 — , leaving only one child, Mr. H. U., who in the will is called 
 the testator's "grandson," and whose father likewise died before the 
 testator. Shortly after his mother's death Mr. H. D. was taken by 
 and resided with his uncle and aunt, W. D. and A. D., both of whom 
 lived together, and are mentioned in the will, and they maintained 
 and brought him up entirely at their own expense. 
 
 Sarah W., the testator's daughter, who is still living, was not born 
 in wedlock, and therefore H. D. is the testator's heii-at-law. 
 
 Neither Mr. W. D. nor Mr. W. W. has acted under tlie trusts or 
 directions of the will ; nor was the former, till recently, aware of its 
 contents. 
 
 The " Freehold Estate, situate at H ," mentioned in the will, 
 
 consists of a small farm, which, ever since the death of the testator, 
 has been enjoyed by his widow, who is still living ; but Mr. H, D., 
 having now attained the age of twenty-one years, it has been given 
 up to him. 
 
 It is not known whether the testator's brother, W. H., is now 
 living or not ; nor can the information respecting him be readily 
 obtained, as he went abroad some years ago, and it is not known to
 
 PRACTICAL FORMS. 91 
 
 wliat place he went. The probability, however, is that ho is dea<l, as 
 
 he has not been heard of for the last years, and he was 
 
 years old when he left England. Nor is anything known of his son, 
 J. W. H., as he likewise went out to s-^ek his father in the year 18—, 
 and has not been heard of since. 
 
 No title deeds relating to the " Freehold Estate at H " within 
 
 the last years' date can be found, but it is strongly suspected 
 
 that the testator or his predecessor, many years ago, mortgaged a 
 part of the estate; for there is a person, a stranger to the family, 
 who claims some adjoining property, evidently once a part of this, 
 and who holds and claims it in such a way as (with his apparent 
 indifference) leads to the conclusion that he is not the true owner in 
 fee ; or, indeed, any other claimant than a mortgagee or representa- 
 tive of a mortgagee, especially as he will not state (and perhaps he is 
 not bound to state) how he really does claim it. 
 
 You will, however, be pleased to carefully peruse the will, and 
 advise Mr. H. D. on the followmg points, citing cases bearing ou 
 them : — 
 
 1. Whether the testator's widow, A. H., takes any, and if any, 
 
 what interest in either of the estates mentioned in the will 
 by virtue of the words, " My wife, A. H., to contain the 
 whole during her life," or is entitled to the profits thereof, or 
 to dower, or to the annuity of £ — , and whether she takes 
 any and what estate by implication in the living called 
 « Clifts " ? 
 
 2. What estate does Mr. H. D. take under the will in the freehold 
 
 estate at H. ? 
 
 3. Whether, if you shoidd be of opinion that the widow does not 
 
 take an estate for life by implication or of dower in " Cliffs," 
 it has descended to Mr. H. D. as heir-at-law ? 
 
 4. Whether Sarah W. takes any other than a life estate in the 
 
 premises called " Jones's," and the piece of land adjoining ? 
 
 5. Whether, upon the death of her mother, she will take any and 
 
 what estate? And, if only a lite estate, to whom will the 
 property belong after her death ? 
 
 6. Whether any estate passed to W. H. and J. W. H., his son, or 
 
 to W. D. and W. W., and whether any trust devolved on the 
 latter, for the performance of which they are responsible ?

 (in) Special conditiniis of sale require to be carefully drawn as a vendor who puts 
 in such conditions is bound to make them explicit, and if he desires to provide for 
 the acceptance of a delective title, the conditions shoidd disclose the nature of the 
 defect provided against, as he cannot protect himself by a condition which might 
 operate as a trap to catch an unwary purchaser. On the other hand, whilst properly 
 protecting his own interests, the vendor will be careful that the conditions of sale 
 are not so framed as unduly to alarm a purchaser, and (subject to s. 35 of 44 & 45 
 Vict. c. 41) depreciatory conditions, calculated to damp a sale used by jiersons in a 
 fiduciary position may involve the vendors in personal liability towards those bene- 
 ficially entitled, and lead to an objection to the title.

 tion of the possession or the receipt of the rents and profits thereof dui-ing such period. 
 
 2. Identity. 
 
 The vendor shall not be required to identify by names or quantities the property in 
 its present state with the ancient description given in the title deeds or documents 
 abstracted, or of property partitioned, or to show the discharge or satisfaction of any 
 legacy given by will of more than years' date. 
 
 It being doubtful whether lot is freehold, or held for a long term of years, the 
 
 purchaser shall not require any other evidence or identity thereof than is shewn by the 
 deeds and documents set forth in the abstract. 
 
 Where, on account of any part of the property — or, any lot — having been conveyed 
 under a general description, or of the hedges or boundaries dividing the property — or, 
 the freehold from the leasehold part having been removed or otherwise, evidence of the 
 seisin, possession, or identity, is not afforded by the title deeds or documents, a statu- 
 tory declaration of the possession or receipt of the rents and profits thereof for

 (which will be delivered to the purchaser on the completion of his purchase) will afford, 
 and this evidence shall be deemed sufficient and conclusive. 
 
 In Case of Deeds of Composition. — The production of the London Gazette contain- 
 ing the notice of the conveyance and assignment to the vendors shall be taken as 
 
 (^,;) Q^~^ — to the purchaser of each lot —or, to the purchaser of each lot whose purchase- 
 money shall amount to pounds — or, to the purchaser of lots and who 
 
 shall, within days from the day of sale, require it^ and undertake to pay the 
 
 expense — not exceeding, in each case, pounds of preparing an abstract, &c. (as

 other evidence of the title to such lot than a solemn declaration by the vendor, that 
 
 he and his ancestors have had peaceable possession thereof for years and upwards ; 
 
 Nor shall it be an objection to the title that no award had been executed under the 
 said Act [there being a clause in the Act authorizing a sale of the allotment before 
 the execution of the award.]

 allotments set out under an Inclosure Act or Acts, and awarded to J. W., deceased, the 
 purchaser of such lot or lots shall not require the production of any such acts, or of 
 the award or awards made in pursuance thereof ; nor shall the vendor be required to

 Or, — a better tbrm (vindef the (.;onve3'ancing Act, 1881), where cLicuments are 
 intended to be retained by the vendor as beneficial owner, would be — The vendor is 
 to retain all documents relating to any property not comprised in this sale, and to give, 
 at the cost of any purchaser requiring it, a statutory acknowledgment of the right of 
 the purchaser to the production of documents so retained, and to delivery of copies 
 thereof, and also a statutory undertaking for safe custody thereof— o?-, if the docu- 
 m/'uts are intended to be retained by the vendor as morfija'/ee or trustee, tlie form,

 and Form 29, App. L.) the consent of a new trustee to act is sufliciently evidenced 
 by a written consent si<4iied by him and verified by tlu; sii;;nature of his solicitor. 
 
 (b) The person entitled to the benefit of tlie bill of sale. 
 
 (c) The words of s. 15 of the Bills of Sale Act, 1878, are " satisfied or discharged," 
 which may mean the debt has been satisfied by composition or altogether discharged 
 from payment, so that the more expressive word " paid " would seem appropriate 
 when the debt has been actually satisfied by payment in cash. For the form of 
 notice of satisfaction transmitted to the Registrar of a County Court, see Rules of 
 vSupreme Court, 28 December, 1883, r. 6, and forms in the Appendix thereto. For 
 the form of affidavit verifying consent, see ante, p. 77.

 Offering a Fragmental Estate to Creditors before presenting a

 {Place.) 
 {Date.) 
 
 Gentlemen, 
 
 Mr. A. B. [latej, of, &c., Draper, having had the whole of his 
 property suddenly seized and taken from him under accumulated 
 legal proceedings {p), is now left without the means either of sub- 
 sistence {q), or of paying his other creditors ; and, in his present 
 position, it is utterly hopeless that he will ever be able to do so. 
 
 He has, therefore, no other refuge than proceedings in bankruptcy, 
 unless his creditors would consent to accept such a composition as 
 may be realized from the [few] outstanding debts now due to him, 
 which he has, under my advice, consented first to offer them, in 
 order that they may have the benefit of that which must otherwise 
 be expended in his seeking relief from his present distress. 
 
 The amount of composition to be offered, will necessarily depend 
 upon circumstances ; but if he should be as successful as he seems to 
 
 have a right to expect, a dividend of or shillings or 
 
 probably more, would be the result (r). 
 
 But, before taking any steps to accomplish such an arrangement, 
 it will be necessary to know if the creditors at large will consent to 
 accept the dividend, whatever it might be ; for it would be as 
 useless as it would be improper to attempt to realize a fund by 
 
 (n) Or, — the executor of the will of Mr. A. B., late of D., Grocer, deceased, to collect 
 the debts due to him.

 which unwilling creditors might be paid in full, to the detriment of 
 those who may, under the distressing circumstances in whicli my 
 client is placed, prefer a small dividend, to the loss of their whole 
 claims. I shall, therefore, be obliged by your favouring me with an 
 early reply, expressly assenting to, or dissenting from the arrange- 
 ment proposed; so that I may be prepafed to proceed either to 
 carry it out, with as little dehiy and exj^ense as possible, or to

 A commissioner, &c. 
 
 (c) Every certificate on an exhibit referred to in an affidavit signed by the com- 
 missioner or officer before whom the affidavit is sworn, should be marked with the 
 short title of the cause or matter (Rules of Supreme Court, 1883, Ord. 38, r. 24), and 
 the reference to the record should be added. Properly speaking a document is 
 exhibited when it is intended to tile the affidavit without the document, in which 
 case it should be referred to in the affidavit as " now produced and shown to me, and 
 
 marked ," and the person before whom the affidavit is sworn should ascertain 
 
 that the deponent has seen the document and is aware of its contents ; but if the 
 document is referred to in the affidavit as " hereunto annexed," it must be annexed 
 to the affidavit at the time it is sworn, and the affidavit cannot be filed without it. 
 It is, therefore, (generally more convenient to refer to a document as an exhibit, and 
 by Rules of Supreme Court, 1883, Ord. 38, r, 23, accounts, extracts from parish 
 registers, particulars of creditor's debts, &c., should not be referred to as annexed, 
 but as exhibits.

 Le2;al Practitioners Act, 1875 (38 & 39 Vict. c. 79), the Eules of the Supreme Court, 
 1883, Order 55, Part I., llule 2 (15). For the allowauce of interest, and power of the 
 Court to charge property, and for the taxation and ]iayment of deceased lunatics' 
 costs, see ss. 27 to 29 of the Solicitors Act, 18G0 (23 & 24 Vict. c. 127), and s. 145 
 of the Lunacy Regulation Act, 1853 (16 & 17 Vict. c. 70). As to agreements 
 between solicitors and tlieir clients as to costs, and as to secimty for future costs, 
 see Attorneys and Solicitors Act, 1870 (33 & 34 Vict. c. 28). For taxation the 
 bill of costs must be indorsed with the name and address of the solicitor leaving 
 the same, and of his principal, if he is an agent (Rules of Supreme Court, 1883, 
 Order 65, Rule 27 (58)). It should be written on foolscap paper bookwise, with a 
 broad margin on the left hand side of each page for the amounts taxed off, to be tliere 
 placed by the taxing officer when taxing the bill. For forms of orders to tax, see 
 Nos. 41 to 43 of Appendix K to Rules of Supreme Court, 1883. If there has been 
 no previous taxation a certificate to that effect must be written in the margin of the 
 orio-inal judgment or order, and of the copy, and the sitting master will then insert 
 the name of the taxing master in rotation and sign a certificate in the margin of the 
 judgment or order. 
 
 (c) The year and month should be at the top of each page, the day of the month 
 at the commencement of each item or class of items. Dates should not be put on left 
 hand side, as they confuse the taxation, but should be placed within the margin, 
 and scored under.

 apply — or, to my charges for negotiating sale (or, — purchase) of property at, &c. — or, 
 attending you, &c. — or, as the case may be. 
 
 (e) If on special grounds the fees in either the higher or lower scale are deemed by 
 the judge, master in chamhers,or taxing master inadequate, he may in his discretion 
 make a further allowance : Rules of Supreme Court, 1883, Order 65, Rule 27 (8), (9), 
 
 (10). 
 
 (/) There is no settled scale in the High Court, but the Masters are g^iided by the 
 directions to them issued in Hilary Term, 1853, and practically allow about double 
 the maximum settled in the County Court under the Rules of 1875 (Order 36, Rule 3). 
 According to which the County Court scale is : — 
 
 Oentlemen, merchants, hankers and professional men, per diem

 {y) Tn this space should be inserted short statements (such as the following), neces- 
 sary to elucidate or explain incongruities or apparent mistakes, so that the examiners 
 at the Legacy Duty Office, who are, of course, strangers to the circumstances, may- 
 understand them, and so be spared unnecessary trouble and inquiries. 
 
 If the will speaks of real estate when, in fact, the deceased left none, here state — 
 The deceased left no real estate or other property liable to succession duty, and it is 
 now required to be stated, upon the face of the account (in ilie first margin), {if the 
 fact), that the deceased left no freehold, copyhold, or leasehold estate, and if there be 
 a tuidow, that the deceased widow is not ('/ rwt) entitled to any jointure or dower 
 out of his freehold [or, widowhood out of Ms copyhold — or, customary] estate. And 
 when the account is of a widow's estate, it should be stated (if the fact) that the 
 deceased left no real or leasehold estate ; nor was she entitled to any jointure, dower, 
 or widowhood. 
 
 If the deceased left real or other estate liable to succession duty, it must be here 
 stated, as — the deceased left a [small] freehold [or, copyhold — or, leasehold] estate, 
 
 which was sold on the day of , 18 — (if so) for payment of his debts and 
 
 funeral expenses [his personal estate being insufficient], and on which succession duty 
 is intended to be paid. 
 
 Or, — the deceased left a copyhold estate [or, tenement], which (// so) passed 
 by succession at his death to [his son] A. B., who will pay the succession duty 
 thereon. 
 
 Or, — the deceased left a [small] customary estate for his life only, which at his 
 death devolved upon his widow for her widowhood. 
 
 Or, — This is part of a sum of £ secured by a policy of assurance on the 
 
 life of the deceased, who was a trustee of the remaining part (£ ) for C. D., his 
 
 brother (or oflier persun), under a declaration of trust, dated, &c., and produced at the 
 time of passing this account. 
 
 If any mistake has been made in the disposition of property, such, for example, as 
 the husband and wife giving the same thing by their resjiecrive wills, it should be 
 
 here explained, as — the sum of £ being one part of a sum of £ secured 
 
 by a policy of assurance on the life of the deceased, and bequeathed by the will of the 
 deceased, belonged to the widow for her own separate use, and (if so) is bequeathed 
 
 to the same parties by her will proved in the , on the day of , 18 — , under 
 
 which the duties will be paid. 
 
 If it bu intended to i);iy the legacy duty in the lifetime of the widow, having a life 
 interest, here state— It is requested that the duty may now be accepted, without 
 any deduction in respect of the life interest of the testator's widow, who is still 
 living.

 can be introduced here, mainly to show their use in transacting business abroad. If 
 intended to be used in France, Belgium, and neighbouring states, they are usually 
 signed in the presence of, and attested bj^, two witnesses, one being a notary public 
 signifying it under his hand and ofScial seal. But in the case of other foreign 
 countries a statutory declaration before a justice of the peace or a notary of the exe- 
 cution by the other attesting witness is necessary and must be similarly authenticated 
 by the notarial seal. In the case of powers executed in a foreign country for use at 
 home the seal or signature of the officer verifying the deposition of the witness must 
 also be verified : Re Davis, L. E. 8 Eq. 98 ; but this further authentication is not 
 required in the case of powers issued from the Chancery Paymaster's office and 
 executed in a British colony before a notary public or other officer authorized to 
 administer oaths. The usefulness of these instruments in England has been much 
 extended by the Conveyancing Act, 1881, ss. 40 (married women), 46 (mode of 
 execution of any assurance by donee of power), 47 (payment by attorney under power 
 without notice ot death, &c., good), 48 (deposit of original power in central office),

 (k) It is prudent to obtain a ivritten retainer though it is not absolutely necessary, 
 except in the case of a corporation, and then, unless otherwise authorized by Act of 
 Parliament or charter, the retahier should be under seal, and a special retainer is 
 necessary even where the articles of association exjjressly provide for the employ- 
 ment of the particular solicitor by a company : see Ehy v. Positive, &c.. Assurance 
 Company, 1 Ex. D. 88. No particular form of words to create the retainer is neces- 
 sary, but care should be taken that the writ is issued in the name of the solicitor 
 actually retained, and not in the name of the London agent unless he is so described. 
 See Wray v. Ktmp, 26 Ch. D. 169, where a form of retainer is given, held insuf- 
 ficient to authorize the commencement of an action. When the client is in humble 
 circumstances and illiterate, it is especially desirable that the retainer should 
 explicitly authorize the commencement of an action : see Atkinson v. Abbott, 
 3 Drew. 251. The retainer may be indorsed on the writ or originating summons.

 (being an assignment of a lease for the residue of a term of 
 
 years, &c.) {giving a list of all the deeds thus shortly). 
 I, the above-uamed {mortgagee), iieheby acknowledge to have this 
 day received the several title-deeds and documents comprised in the 
 
 (z) Or, — forfeiture — or, 'breacli of conditions {or otherwise, as the case may he). 
 
 (a) This form is drawn in the old style. As to the statutory liability of a mort- 
 gagee, in respect of mortgages made after 31 December, 1881, to ])roduce his deeds 
 to any one entitled to redeem, see the Conveyancing Act, 1881 (s. IG). 
 
 The acknowledgment and undertaking now substituted by the above Act s. (9) 
 for the old covenant by a vendor for production ami safe custody, may run thus: 
 And the said {vendor) hereby acknowledg-es the right of the said {purchaser) to 
 production of the deeds and documents mentioned in the [second] schedule hereto, 
 and to the delivery of copies thereof. And hereby undertakes for their safe custody. 
 The effect of this is to make the covenantor's liability whilst actual possessor 
 more onerous, as it includes the default of an a'^ent as well as personal default, and 
 therefore if the undertaking as to safe custody is, in the case of trustees and mort- 
 gagees, given at all, it will be well to qualify it by (in the case of, e.g., a sale l\y 
 irusteos retaining ])ossession of ti'le deeds) some such proviso as — but as to each of 
 them, so as to limit the personal liability of himself and his heirs, executors, and 
 administrators under this undertaking to the period while he or they respectively 
 shall have the actual custody of the said respective documents. For a form tf con- 
 dition of sale by a vendor retaining as mortgagee or trustee documents relating to 
 pio}ie'-ty not comprised in the sale, and excluding any undertaking or covenant for 
 safe custtidy, see ante, ]i. 9!h For a form of acknowledgment for production and

 1. A grant of probate of the will (o) of (the deceased), late of, &c., 
 
 grocer, deceased, who died at D. aforesaid ( p) on the day of , 
 
 18 — , was made to me (q) by the Principal (r) Kegistry of the Probate 
 
 stamp duty on affidavits of value made by executors or administrators in cases wliere 
 too mucli or too little duty has been paid in the first instance. 
 
 1. Application must be made, in the first instance, by the executor or adminis- 
 trator, in person or by his agent in the legacy duty department; and an affidavit by 
 the executor or administrator, stating the cii'cumstances of the case in a form which 
 can be obtained at the legacy duty office, must be delivered with the probate or 
 letters of administration. 
 
 2. The affidavit must be made before a Commissioner of the Supreme Court of 
 Judicature unless the executor or administrator shall attend in person at the legacy 
 duty office, in which case the affidavit may be sworn there. 
 
 3. In all cases of a return of duty being applied fon or of a further duty being 
 paid, there must be subjoined to the affidavit a correct inventory and account of the 
 estate and effects of the deceased, which must be subscribed by the person or persons 
 making the affidavit ; and all appraisements of the deceased's effects must be duly 
 stamped. 
 
 4. It is indispensable that the application be made personally by the executor, 
 administrator, or his agent, at the legacy duty office ; and if the affidavit, probate, 
 or other documents be transmitted by post or left under cover at the office, the 
 application cannot be noticed. 
 
 5. If the application shall be made by an agent for the executors or administrators, 
 he must write his name and place of residence at the foot of the affidavit. 
 
 6. In cases where too little duty has been paid the affidavit must be presented at 
 the legacy duty office within six calendar months alter the discovery of the mistake, 
 and must be duly stamxjed for the amount, which, with the duty, if any, previously 
 paid shall be sufficient to cover the duty properly payable, but no allowance will be 
 made for the stamp duty of 30s. on estates not exceeding £300. In cases of letters 
 of administration, with or without the will annexed, there must be delivered with 
 the affidavit a certificate from the proper officer c>f the Court of Probate, that the 
 administrator has given further security for the due administration of the personal 
 estate and effects of the deceased, in consequence of the same having been since 
 discovered to be of greater value than was first sworn to, pursuant to the 55 Geo. 3, 
 c. 184, s. 42. Interest upon the amount of the duty on such affidavit at the rate of 
 5 per cent, per annum from the date of the grant, or from such subsequent date as 
 the Commissioners may, in the circumstances, think proper, must also be paid, and 
 for payment of this interest a warrant will be issued by the probate duty clerk. 
 When the affidavit has been examined and approved of and the interest has been 
 duly paid, the necessary certificate will be written on the grant. 
 
 7. In casts where too much duty has been paid the affidavit can be presented at 
 the legacy duty office (1) at any time during the administration of the estate, so far 
 as regards a mistake in the value mentioned in the certificate of the officer of the 
 Court of Probate ; (2) at any time within three years after the grant or within such 
 further period as the Commissioners may allow, so far as regards a mistake in the 
 value upon which the duty has been paid, eitlier by reason of no amount or an 
 insufficient amount having been deducted on account of debts and funeral expenses, 
 but if it shall appear that too little stamp duty has been paid in consequence of the 
 effects having been estimated by mistake at less value than they really were, appli- 
 cation must be made in the probate duty office in order to pay the additional duty, 
 before the return of duty on the ground of debts can be granted. 
 
 8. Upon the claim being established, and all legacy and succession duty then due 
 having been paid, the warrant for the return of probate duty will be delivered.

 Division of the High Court of Justice in England, on the day 
 
 of , 18 — , and it appears by the certificate thereon of the proper 
 
 officer of the Court, as the fact is, that an affidavit in verifieation of 
 the account of the deceased's estate has been delivered, duly stamped, 
 and it is stated that the gross value of the saitl estate amounts to 
 
 2. Within the last six months it has been discovered that the per- 
 sonal estate and effects of the deceased chargeable with stamp duty 
 are of greater amount than the amount in respect of which the said 
 affidavit has been stamped — (A) (s) partly by reason that some 
 portion of the said estate and effects has since the date of such affi- 
 davit been found to be of greater value than the value originally 
 attributed thereto — (B) and partly by reason of the discovery of 
 additional estate and effects — (C) and partly by reason that the 
 deduction for debts and funeral expenses was to some extent made 
 erroneously {t). 
 
 3. The account hereto annexed is a true account of the value of 
 the personal estate and effects of the deceased, in respect of which 
 the stamp duty has been paid on the original affidavit as afoi-esaid, 
 and of the particulars and value thereof as since found and dis- 
 covered, and of the mode in which, and the time when, such finding 
 and discovery were made, and of the debts and funeral expenses 
 erroneously deducted {ii). 
 
 4. The said debts are due to persons resident within the United 
 Kingdom ^^hose names and addresses are given, and are payable by 
 law out of the personal estate and effects comprised in the account 
 hereto annexed, and are not nor are any of them voluntary debts 
 made payable on the death of the deceased, or voluntary debts pay- 
 able under some instrument delivered to the donee thereof within 
 three months before the death of the deceased, or debts wliich are 
 primarily payable out of any real estate belonging to the deceased, 
 or debts in respect whereof a reimbursement is capable of being" 
 claimed from any real estate of the deceased or Irom any other estate 
 or person whatsoever. 
 
 5. It now therefore appears that under the circumstances a stamp 
 duty of £ is chargeable in respect of the personal estate and 
 
 (s) Adapt these parts to the circumstances of the case, striking out sucli parts as 
 are unnecessary. 
 
 (t) If too much duty has been paid, instead of paragraph 2 insert the following — 
 The estate is still under administration, and it has been discovered that the value 
 mentioned in the certificate of the officer of the Court exceeds the true value of the 
 personal estate and effects of the deceased, and that consequently too high a stamp 
 duty was paid on the said affidavit — (A) * partly by reason that some portion of the 
 said estate and effects has, since the date of such affidavit, been found to be of less 
 value than the value originally attributed thereto — (B) and partly by reason of the 
 discovery that some part of the said estate and effects did not belong to the deceased 
 ■ — (C) and partly by reason (1) that hitherto no deduction has been made for debts 
 and funeral expenses or {2) that the amount deducted on account of debts and funeral 
 expenses is insufficient.
