AN UNDER-TREASURER AND STEWARD.
ITO THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.")
Sta,—Your readers may be interested to know something about the duties of an Under-Treasurer and Steward to the Society of Lincoln's Inn, now that the post is vacant. The duties are in many ways similar to those of a College bursar, and would pro- hably suit a member of one of the Universities. One of the most important things is his relation to the men who propose making Lincoln's Inn their legal home, and he ought therefore to be in touch with the Universities who supply recruits for the Bar, and be able to advise and assist men both as to making applications for admission and as to their future course. He must also be a good business man, qualified to look after the whole of the affairs of the Inn, which comprise the care of buildings, the letting of chambers, and the collecting of rents; lie also keeps all the accounts, and manages the finances of the Society; lie is responsible for the hall, kitchen, library, ant chapel, including the necessary staff of servants. Besides these administrative duties he acts as secretary to the Council of Benchers and to their committees, which involves keeping the records of the Society and carrying out their orders. It will be seen that this is an important office, and in the hands of a capable man would be both interesting and agreeable.I
