Solicitor Purchasing in Trust.
Upon the hearing of an application in an
administration suit upon the llth July, the
Master of
the Rolls stated that should
occasion arise he is prepared to hold that
in the case of a sale in his Court a Solicitor
who signs a contract to purchase " in trust "
for a client is personally liable to bring in the
purchase money and to complete the sale
should his client fail to do so. The attention
of the Profession is specially drawn to this
statement, as there was a general impression
that a Solicitor purchasing " in trust " was
not personally liable to carry out such a
purchase unless when made in the Land
Judge's Division under the special rules of
that Court.
Practice in the Court of the Master of
the Rolls.
THE Master of the Rolls has intimated that
in future he will require copies of inter
rogatories, of answers to interrogatories, of
notices
requiring
particulars,
and
of
particulars furnished in pursuance of such
notices, to be lodged with the pleadings, when
setting down an action for trial in his Court.

has to be provided out of the purchase
money.
For this purpose the following Rules dated
the 19th day of July, 1910, have been made
by the Lord Chancellor and the Land Judge,
and on account of urgency it has been ordered
that same shall come into operation forth
with as Provisional Rules :—
RULES AND FORMS.
Additional Regulations with regard to the
execution of Conveyances by the Land Judge
rendered necessary by the provisions of the
Finance (1909-10) Act, 1910.
