Basu by the President of the Bar Association the Advocate-General and the President of the Incorporated Law Society. [...] Not an inconsiderable part of the authority and prestige which the High Courts enjoy and the repect which their decisions inspiro are drived from the serenity exclusiveness and altitude of the position which the Judges occupy in official and social life as also in the public mind. [...] On behalf of the Attorneys to r. J N. Basu joined with others in expressing the sense of loss which the Province had sustained in his death The Chief Justice said that the Bench had heard with great regret of the death of Mr S. C. Basu. [...] A. distinction must be drawn between cases in which emoluments are attached to a priestly office and the cases in which the offerings are made to a deity and the per-- sons who receive the same have not to render services of a personal nature as a considertion for the receipt of the offerings. [...] The emoluments of the former kind are not in the absence of a custom or usage to the cotrary ordinarily transferable for the simple reason that they are inseparably connected with the priestly office and it is contrary to public policy to allow such offices to be tranferred to a person not competent to peform the worship either by private sale or by sale in execution or a decree.
