“NEW ZEALAND LAW LIST.”

A volume which will be of great assistance to the legal profession, as well as to the public at large, the “New land Law List, 1901,” has just been published by WLitcombe and Tombs, Limited. The list has been by direction of the Council of the New Zealand Law Society, and edited by Mr Francis Ha-rrison, of Wellington, seoretary to the society. In his introduo-. tion, the editor asserts that the work will supply a want that has been felt for many years. An examination of its contents'shews that the assertion is well founded. The list is very complete. It is evident that Mr Ha-mson has spared neither labour nor trouble to make it answer all requirements, and any deficiencies cannot be laid to his charge, but rather to that of practitioners who have omitted to supply particulars which they were individually asked to furnish. The list contains full details under the following main headings: Judges of the Supreme Court (past), Supreme Court, Justice Department, Police, Prisons, Stamp Department, Land Transfer and Deeds Registry, Law Societies, New Zealand Council of Law Reporting, Practitioners Acts, Commissioners of Supreme Courts, Notaries Public, Practitioners, and Government Departmental Heads. There is full information in regard to the officers of the Supreme Court and the Justice Department. The amended regulations for law examinations, the latest regulations for the admission of barristers and solicitors under the Law Practitioners Act, 1882, and tables of examination fees and admission and practising fees are given. The directory of barristers and solicitors residing in New Zealand is one of the features of the book. The names of the practitioners are arranged alphabetically under localities. The name of each practitioner is given in full, with the date of his admission and other particulars. In addition there is a general alphabetical list; also' a list of partnership firms. The r ‘Law List” is excellently printed and bound. It is of very convenient size, and should have a place in every legal office. Indeed, professional and business men generally should find it exceedingly useful for purposes of reference.
