1 Manchester L. Students' Chron. 1 (1901-1902)

handle is hein.journals/mlstud1 and id is 1 raw text is: MVIANCHESTER LAW STUDENTS' CHRONICLE. OCTOBER, 1901. No. 1. EDITORIAL. TIHE motives which prompted the Manchester Law _ Students' Society to emulate the literary prowess of a Sister.Society were probably of a mixed character. The primary motive, doubtless, was the very proper desire not to be outdone by our contem- poraries in the West; but when this desire took shape, it was found that a Magazine could be so worked in a compendious form as to combine the usual notices of meetings and chronicles of the Society's doings with an opportunity for its members to slip from their shoulders the cloak of literary reserve and tentatively put forth a toe into the sea of letters. Our design, therefore, is in six issues, coincident with the progress of the session, to announce our fixtures for the month to come and our achievements in the month past, and to draw upon the fund of humour and legal learning which must be standing in our midst to the credit, it is to be hoped, of the Society. This month we print, inter alia, the body of our Committee's report, some comments on our latest forensic achievement, with reference to which it will be noticed that the epithets describing the audience are no longer printed in capital letters, together with a tisquisition on the saying Who finds, keeps, from the pen of an official of our strictly local Court; while a voice from the Bench of the County Court instructs us in complete advocacy. We wish ourselves well in this new venture, and appeal to the practical literary sympathy of our members, whether the same takes the form of essays or contributions to the inevitable Correspondence Column. iReport of tMe Committc for tWe Bqqo 1900-1. ( ENTILEMEN- Your Committee have pleasure in presenting to you their 93rd Annual Report, being for the Session 1900-1. In their opinion the Session has been markedly successful. Nineteen new ordinary members have been elected, but no honorary members have been elected. Five honorary and four ordinary members have resigned, and two honorary members have died. The considerable accession of ordinary members is a matter for great satisfaction. The total number of members is now 230. During the Session 15 meetings have been held, including the annual general meeting, one joint debate, the annual dinner, a- smoking concert, the mock trial, and ten ordinary meetings. Delegates also attended a joint debate with the Liverpool Law Students' Association, when an interesting debate was followed by the most hospit- able entertainment of your representatives at the annual dinner of the home association. The cordial welcome which was extended to your delegates was much appreciated by them. The joint debate at home was held on December 11 th, 1900, with the Sheffield Law Students' Society, under the presidency of Mr. Edgar, and was followed by the Society's A.nnual Dinner at the Albion Hotel, Piccadilly. Mr. Edgar again presided, supported by Messrs. Hockin, Somers, and Gilnore, vice-presidents. The dinner, at which the Sheffield delegates were the Society's guests, was followed by a short smoking concert, the whole forming an excellent evening's entertainment. VOL. I.
