offence we may never know, but in the
meantime it is publicly declared that he has
been disbarred for the offence of accepting clients
without the intervention of an attorney, a proceed-

intention of adopting, and which Lord CAMPBELL
has ruled to be not against propriety, however un-
sanctioned by custom. No circumstances could
more clearly illustrate the danger to the Bar and
the public, of committing its government to ill-
selected and irresponsible hands. None could, in
their several ways, show more clearly how neces-
sary it is for the Bar, if it would vindicate its
position in public respect and maintain its private
liberties, to secure the right of choosing for its
guardians and guides those in whom it places de-
served confidence, irrespective of the question
whether they can tickle the ears of juries or find
the weak points in the Lord Chancellor's
affections.
