OUR LAWYER. «. Conducted by a Bar,, ister-at-Law. Legal questions must be stated fully and clearly, and a full copy must be sent of any document on which advice is soughi. All communicatwns must be endorsed 11 LEGAL," per Editor, "WKEXLY MAIL," Cardiff. INTESTACY.—•' Cymro is informed that the sub-divided shares of the nephews and uieces, orphan children of his two deceased brothers. in the residuary personal estate will have to be paid to them respectively as and when they attain the age of 21 years, those of them who are now of that age or upwards having to be paid at the time of the first distribution to the surviving brothers. Is there no sister or issue of a deceased sister of the testator who survived him? In the dis- tribution of personal estate there Is no difference made on account of sex. Our correspondent must keep the shares of Infants invested until each of them attains full age, but may apply the income to arise from the same in the meantime for or towards the expense of their maintenance and education, or otherwise for their benefit, or accumulate and re-invest the tame at his own uncontrolled discretion. BILL OF B.u.E. Ralph (Cardiff) Is advised that IS will not be necessary to have the bill of sale re-placed by a new one, neither would it be advisable to do so. All that will be necessary will be to have an affidavit filed that the security is still subsisting immediately before the expiration of five years from the date of the former registration, and so on from time to time, as often as may be Dece SUTY, so as to keep the regi*; tration on foot. FBKKHOLD AND L:\SEIlOLD PJROPKRTT.—" Cape" (Car* dltfJ is advise 1 I at freehold property descends to the heir-at-law, auc leasehold for years is personal estate. the residue of which is distributable amonr; the nest- of-kin of an owner who dies intestate. The length of the term of yeari is altogether Immaterial. CHANCERY PROCEEDINGS.— A Constant Reader" (Aber- beeg) ought to apply to one of the solicitors by whODS the proceedings are being conducted. CONSTRUCTION OF DKKD.—" Elorp (Tredegar) is advised to ask the solicitors to the trustees we can not under- take to construe a document of which we do not know the contents. If he can send us a copy he may write again, and then we will advise him. A MISSING SHAREHOLDER -It Is difficult to advise D (Llanelly) where to make further Inquiries, as we DO not know anything of tbe clrcumstance of the case. It is clear that if the company cannot find the mad they could not give his address to the Board of Trade. In case of a sale of the undertaking, the share of tbe missing shareholder would have to remain in court until his legxl representatives or himself could b8 found or should claim the money. EXTRAORDINARY TRAFFIC.—The scheme of 11 AJO Inquirer" (Aberavoiu Is not feasible, but the remedy is probably under the Act of 1878. If the sorveyod are at a loss how to proceed, they ought to take the advice of their solicitor, who would do what might, be deemed necessary. PBOVTWO WILL.—If Am Bird" (Cardiff) Is not one of the executors, his going to Bristol would be as unnecessary expense. The executors are the P" persons to apply for probate, and even they need oo# go so far from home, as the personal estate Is small value. They might apply at the office of the collector of Inland Revenue at Cardiff. The atten dance of the beneficiaries will not be necessary. PUBLICAN CLOSING HOUSE IN BUSINESS HOURS.—If A Pontyprlddian will inform us the facts we shall be happy to advise him. At what time did the oscur* renco complained of take place, on Sunday or a weei day, and what was the reason assigned? SERVICE OF NOTICE. "An Inquirer" (Swansea) II informed that If a notice to quit be served upon the proper day, the time of day is of no importance what" ever. Probably, the origin of the popular delusion upon the subject is that the notice must be served before midnight, because the day ends at that tfrø, and some wiseacre h Ting got the Idea of twelve o'clock into his head, forgot that there was such all hour after he went to bed. and so planned to make the day end at noon instead of midnight. But. 01 course, this absurdity is not recognised by the law. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—If Accident (Pontymfater) a passenger at the time when the accident occurred, his action for damages against the company most be commenced within one year from the date of tbeaecf" dent. But if he was employed by the company, and his action is to be brought by virtue of the Employer* Liability Act. he MUST give the statutory noilce within six weeks, and commence his action witbiB six calendar months after the accident occurred. HE ought to have told us all the facts. DROPPINGS-" A. Builder" (Tonypandy) ought not to have built his house so that it should receive the droppings from his neighbour's root. If the BUILDING complained of Is an encroachment upon bis land, he ought to instruct a local solicitor to do what may BE found to be necessary in the matter, but it f4 ImpcØ: sible for us to advise him definitely without knosnoC the circumstances of the case. We understand Mat our correspondent's house was erected after the other building. NUISANCE DANGEROUS TO HSALTH.—" Bwlch" is ad- vised that if the inspector of nuisances will not take the necessary proceedings In this matter, he (our cor- respondent) might first apply to the local board of health, and if they endorse the refusal of their offieer. he might himself apply to the maglitrates for a uat- mons. when the evidence on both sides would received at the hearing. and such a decision given SO to the bench of magistrates should appear to be just. But if he should have to take this course it would III desirable to have the assistance of a local solicitor. NOTICE-As the agreemeut referred to by Inhabitant" (Monmouthshire) provided for one month's notice being given to determine the contract, and she WAS informed In October that the new arrangement Was Intended to take effect from the 1st day of December, we do not understand what she complains about. Is was not necessary that the notice should be 1° writing, although a written notice is preferable to Is verbal one, because the former is not so likely to ltAL4 to mistakes as the latter. IIANDLORD AND TENANT.—•'A Tenant" Is advised th»J the usual notice to be given to or by a yearly tenan# (as he is) will be half a year, and the notice must J>* so given as to expire at the end of a complete year °* the tenancy. ACOIDKNT.—•' A. B. C." (Cowbrldge) Is advised that IF the accident was occasioned by the negligenee of t};8 driver he must make good the consequences of hill neglect or want of skill, but if the hor.e was unfit to be sent out the owner must bear the loss. BROKEN WINDOW.—" J W." (Merthyr) Is responsible rll the circumstances stated by him, but we express N0 opinion as to the fnirness of the amount. INTENDED MARRIAOB.—'• A Bachelor (Cardigan) DIILJE either be married by licence or after publication OF banns, as he may prefer, but the notice cannot W altered now. If he is not satisfied with the glrmntc" ment which had been made it may be abandoned. Low oir LueOAOE.—We do not advise by letter. WhY did not Commercial" (Newport) look after his luggage at Tredegar ? That is what any ordinary traveller would have done. If he is inclined for LI»" gatlon he might plaoe the matter In the hands OF local solicitor, as the railway company would be 900 to have professional assistance, and the esse raise legal questions founded upon the exact raet- which he could not be expected to be able to arpe effectively. DISPUTE WITH LONDON TRADESMAN.—" B. R," (0*5. marthen) might bring an action in the connty-cenr" to recover his money if he aannot get what he ordeøcf. Perhaps it would have been as well for him if b. (8i country tradesman) bad dealt with one of his NEIGH* hours and seen the article before he paid for It. COLLECTION OF DEBTS.—"B. To" (Haverfordwest) t. advised that the aollectur cannot reasonably 1* expected to work for nothing, ut it would have BEEB better If the rate of remuneration had been before he commenced operations. NON-RKPAIR OF PUBLIC ROAD.—" B. T.- (Haverfer* west) is advised that the requisite legal PROCEEDING" ought to be conducted by a local solicitor. OHANSB OF NAME.—" B. P." (Brecon) cannot change baptismal name, but he eould adopt the asoo- desired as a prefix to his surname, which W-' am ant to the same thing. INTESTACY.—" Cymro (Monmouth) IS right.. Theonu ohlld of a deceased sister of the intestai. "L entitled to the share whloh that sister w.. been entitled to If she bad survived t iv-
