CERTIFICATED CONVEYANCERS.

FOR THE SUN.

LETTER V.

11h. Erarroa,—lt can never he imagined that
the Legislature, when they imposed an animal tax
on Attornies and Draftsmen below the Bar, foresaw
thara stampcertificate for this purpose would he
prostituted as it has been, and reduced to a level
Itith the licence of a hawker and pedlar. Like
the tax on Clerk's Articles, it had a double as-

pect : first, to keep out improper persons ; second,
with a due regard for those of a different descrip-
tion. Neither could the Society of Gray's Inn
foresee that the admission of the Lord knows
livitOm„ men of little ability, and less character,
into titeir books, would enable them to execute
Law Conveyancing, which, to conduct with ef-
fect, requires, in study, the prime, of our life ; but
now, by a Shameful peryersion of Parliamentary
intention, and the over indulgence of, the Gray's
Tan Benchers, contravening the original spirit of
their foutulatinn, those anthroponhagi, or vul-
tures, who watch for days of carnage, break in
urn an honourable profession, and push its regu-
lar Members front their stools, to the.incalculable

inj.lry of their unfortunate employers.
This, Sir, has produced a question which impe-
riously calls for solution—Whether Law Con-
veyancing he, or be not, a Science, and excln-
sivtly the business of Lawyers and Attot flies
The Tax Certificates were for them only, and not
for those who are neither ; yet it has opened a
way to fraud, and many have insidiously paid it,
as a colourable authority to impose on the Public,
disseminate mischief, and practice extortion.

They charge the Attornies with knavery and
ignoraLce, as if they were all wisdom and inte-
•griry. Some of each there may be, but these are
so marked as not to affect the whole Profession of
PraCtirers. All are equally sworn to allegiance
and supremacy, and admitted by the course of the
Courts. They serve a previous Clerkship for five
years, and have risen into use and importance ever
since the reducti►►n of the Scrivener's Company,
and the dispersion of its Members. These Certi-
ficate Men are neither sworn nor admitted; and,
after all, what are they or the Scriveners ?
Drawers of Contracts, flimsy Agreements, &c.
which were below the dignity of Lawyers, and,
of course, unnoticed by them. They are money
changers, and driven our of the Temple, if not by_
a divine spirit, most certainly by the more capable
practice of lawful Attornies.

Conveyancing is an undoubted Science, above
the compass.of rash Advnturers. It is a branch
of the science of Law, which Lawyers and 'Atter-
ssies are solely empowered to dispense and prac-
tice. Ail those who are not so, but divide its
profits with the Constituted Authorities, are pil-
ferers, and insult its dignity. If when Parliament

awarded this Tax on Attornies and Draftsmet: be-
low the Bar, it had really intended it as an admis-
sion for any man, be he whom or what he may, it
would have been so mentioned in the act, and
thereby made every individual in the Kingdom a
Lawyer or an Attorney, without any preparation
whatever ; but the subtility of evasion, and the
.art of these Pirates, suppose it, in order to justify
• their intrusion. •

Let the Public, therefore, beware of these
Counterfeits, and, fur matters of sufficient Con-
veyancing, apply to thos'e who are lawfully ap-
pointed, and capable to do them justice, withciut
.deception, or picking of pockets. Such circu-
lators of base metal are become a growing evil, a
scrophula, a disease that corrodes the pocket, tor-
ments the heart, and ends in desolation and ruin.
Odi profanum vulgus, —Let the Legislature be in-
formed of them, that so they may be restrained,
or extirpated as epidemical. Let the HonOurable
Society of Gray's Inn be cautioned against re-
ceiving into !heir House such obnoxious pre-
'tenders, for the purpose of imposition, hereto-'
fore unknown ; let them follow the nobler ex-
,ample of-the two Temples, and reject every one
_except for study and the Bar, Chambers only
saved. If not the flood of injury, rapacity, and
disgrace, •ill be too heavy for repulsion, and
to subdue them be as impossible as to reform the
works of au unerring God, give second birth to
Nature, or unite the Poles.

AN OLD BARRISTER.

Fuatoos Dats-ma.—Wednesday evening Sa-
muel Debay.i, a brass-founder, was knocked down
while in the act of crossing the Strand from Bur-
leigh-street, by one of the mail-carts going at
their usual furious rate. The poor man was taken
to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, having a rib
broken, and much cut about the bead ; he was
perfectly sober. It is greatly to be regretted that
some stop is not put to this practice by the proper
persons to whose department these mail art
drivers belong ; for unless his Majesty's subjects
ci e all abolutc Harlequins, it is almost impos-
sible to escape •the wheels of these vehicles, id
many parts of the town, of an evening.—The bro-
ther of the above unfortunate person Was stabbed
the back a few months since by a lunatic, in a
mad-house at Bet Li nal-Green, while throw-
.me coals on the fire.

SOUTH AMERICA.

We give the following from a Morning Pa-
per -1.. • - •
" BULLETIN.

" Four Flecheras, which have arrived this day
from Apure, haVe brought with them communica-
tions from General.Paez of the 19th current, in
the position of Yagual, for his Excellency the
Supreme Chief. That General has countermarched
to the places formerly occopied-by him, after hav-
ing occupied the capital of Marinas, which was de-
fended by itemigio li.Jmos with 400 men, infantry
and cavalry. This rash Spanish Chief had the
presumption, on the 14th of August, to offer battle
to General Paez, and the result of it was theabso:
lute destruction of his forces. One hundred and
fifty were killed=one hundred made prisoners,; and
one hundred fusils, and 4,000 fusil cartouches, are
the spoils which have been taken from the enemy,
tvhis Was pursued as far as the Rio tie Bocono, in.
the Province of Caracas. .

" The long and forced marches which Gen. Paez
had to make, and the inundations of iluflealanos,
have knocked up his cavalry to such a degree,
`that. it was impossible for him to continue his
Operations to Sao Carlos as he proposed. This
consideration, and the well-grounded appre-
hensions that the re-union of the enemies forces
in Nutria and San Fernando might attempt
some operation against 'the Yagual, where a
great part of our remount.and all the emigrants
were, obliged General Paez to abandon the pro-
ject of advancing farther into the Province of
Caracas. In fact, on the 17th of August, he eva-
cuated new Varinas, after having taken from it
whatever was serviceable for the army. The re-
sult of this operation has confirmed the just ap-
prehensi9its of General Paez. 1n his march, on
his arriving at the Manteca!, he learned that'Cal-
zada with thirty vessels were advancing to stir-
ize the detactiment which covered the Yagual,
but who, when lie received notice of the ap-
proach of our division, desisted from his attempt,
and returned to shut himself up in San Fernando.
" Among the papers intercepted in Varinas,
was found a statement of the enemies' forces co-
vering the river Apure. All his forces are infan-
try,- and do not amount to 1,000 men ; the only
horses which he had were taken by General Paez
in his incursions.
