To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
moat fully agree with the view taken by " A
tk triBter" in sour impression of yesterday, respecting
conduct of the Master of the Rolls for Ireland,
41 that to comment on the exoelleeC3 of the ex-
Qi Pie which it was his constant habit to set, in
4',C'Y, returning fees which ,he had not earned, would
B'Y be 4, to paint the lily, or gild relined gold."
444 t without a pretence of that character, I am in-
tt''cl to add too •expression of my hope, as a law
letter
(with sundry misgivings, however, that my-
,,Eln°;tbr, like many others, will be consigned to the waste-
N
IYer basket), that this incident will tend, ad valorem,
tescue the legal profession from the very sweeping
denunciations
hurled against every branch and almost
legal
member of it in the present age of the cry for
reform.
bi hope, Sir, it will assist likewise in retaining the high
r'tit of honour and the strong love of justice of the
bar. Obvious and important as are the reforms
:4d in the law generally, that honourable profession
4,1 never fear being in danger of languishing so long
~;`",e advocate and the judge to pre-eminently distin
il,l themselves as honourable men. And the legal
o-c'n;PPion would be more in favour with the public

Ito'niettr and fair play, it not in point of talent, many

ELECTION.--Major Beresfor—
tlim.,`"Y a very curious method of meeting the very specific
It made against the Honourable Gentleman. No doubt
agi,-7Y common for men when charged with offences
t the law, and when they know that they are going to

lery;.,ln, all such cases. Still it seldom haNens that these

erequiru„like manner, we conceive, the reservation of Major
