SWINDLING A LAWYER.—It is a penny-wise and
pound-foolish plan to grudge the fee to a solicitor for
making your will. So convinced of this was one crafty
and covetous fellow, who wanted to have his will accu-
rately drawn without paying for it, that he sent for an
eminent lawyer, and having given the necessary in-
structions desired him to put in a clause giving £lOO to
himself. The will being finished a fee was offered but
refused, the lawyer was no sooner gone than the will was
copied, and the £lOO legacy left out.—Chamberes Journal.
