THE LAW.

The Law of Allotments. By E. Lawrence Mitchell. (P. S. King. 7s. 6d. net.) The value of Mr. Mitchell's exposition of the law with regard to allotments is shown by the fact that his work has already reached a third edition. He gives the full text of the Acts from 1908, including the important measure passed last year, with a lucid introductory exposition. Last year's Act limited in various ways the power of a landowner to resume possession of allotments, especially during the spring and summer, and its provisions as to notice, compensation and the like deserve to be better known.
