THE LAW AND THE LAWYERS Lord Finlay LORD FrNLAY died on the 30th June, only four months after Sir Sidney Rowlatt, following closely to the grave the senior whose professional footsteps had gone before his own at more than one stage of his career. After his call to the Bar in 1901 young Finlay devilled for Rowlatt, succeed- ing him as junior counsel to the Board of Inland Revenue in 1905, when he became junior counsel to the Treasury. Many years later, when Rowlatt, J., retired from the Bench, it was Finlay, J., who succeeded him as the .judge to whom revenue business was assigned, a position for which a con- siderable revenue practice as a silk had well prepared him. He had then been a judge for over seven years. His pro- motion in 1924, at the age of forty-nine, was not unexpected, for he had three or four times acted as Commissioner of Assize, giving much satisfaction, especially in the Crown Court. Yet on his selection as one of the two judges appointed in that year to strengthen the King's Bench Division, then weighed down by arrears of work, there was murmuring in some quarters, where it was felt that he had been passed over the heads of other men with better claims. However, the quality of his work immediately justified Lord Cave's choice of.him and there was no criticism when, on the establishment of a third Court of Appeal in 1938, he was among the new Lords Justices elevated to man it. His career was one of the many familiar instances of judicial heredity, but his case was unusual in that his father, the former Lord Chancellor, survived for over four years to watch his career upon the High Court Bench and to sit with him as a fellow Bencher in the Middle Temple Hall, where he had seen him dining as a newly-called barrister a quarter of a century before, when he himself was Attorney-General. Last January Lord Finlay accepted the invitation of the Foreign Secretary to become the United Kingdom repre- sentative on the United Nations War Crimes Commission. The extreme conscientiousness and scrupulous fairness which characterised him as a criminal judge well fitted him to assume the responsibilities thus laid upon him. He was his father's only son and he leaves an only daughter. Accordingly with him his father's title dies, but in the annals of his profession, his care as a judge and his good nature as a man will dominate the recollection he leaves behind him. The New Silks THE following were called within the Bar on Wednesday, 4th July: Sir Cecil Thomas Carr (I. 1902), Christian Bedford Fenwick (I. 1911), Valentine Holmes (I. & M. 1913), Sir Arnold Duncan McNair (G. 1917), Carleton Kemp Allen (L. 1919), Basil Drewe (I. 1920), Montague Levander Berryman (M. & I. 1921), Norman Roy Fox-Andrews (L. 1921), Charles Erskine Woollard Simes (I. 1921), Henry Ince.Nelson (I. 1922), Raymond Winter Jennings (I. & L. 1922), John Stuart Scrimgeour (M. 1922), Colonel Louis Halle Gluckstein (L. 1922), Sydney Scholefield Allen (G. 1923), George Harold Lloyd-Jacob (M. 1923), John Mackay Pringle (L. 1923), Terence Norbert Donovan (M. 1924), Edward Holroyd Pearce (L. & M. 1925), Lieutenant-Commander Seymour Edward Karminski (I. 1925), Owen Latham Bateson (I. 1925), Basil Edward Nield (I. 1925), Michael Edward Rowe (G. 1925), Major Cyril Barnet Salmon (M. 1925), Major Arthur Capewell (G. 1926), John Scott Henderson (I. 1927), Albert Denis Gerrard (G. 1927), Lieutenant-Colonel Anthony Alfred Harmsworth Marlowe (I. 1928), Patrick Arthur Devlin (G. 1929), Brigadier George Steven Harvie Watt, T.D. (I. 1930). Death Duties: Re-opening of Assessments THE Finance Bill, 1945, in its original form, contained a clause of special interest to practitioners. This clause provided for the re-opening in certain cases of assessments of the value of land for the purposes of death duties in the case of land acquired compulsorily or by agreement for the public use within five years from 17th November, 1944, and assessed for death duties as at a date after 31st March, 1945, and before the date of such acquisition. Undoubtedly hard- ship has arisen in the assessment of death duties on inflated Vol. 200
