rally enough to do to attend to the minor details or
a case, should be placed in the responsible situation
of the,* counsel wh6 were selected by his Majesti
to sit within the bar. He felt it his duty to resist
such a practice, and when examined before tht
Chancery commission, he distinctly stated that such
a practice was not only injurious to the interests of.
the public, but disreputable to the Court where it
prevailed. On this occasion he felt considerabie
pain to adopt the course which he had taken, but
having taken that course, Ise returned all the fee
which he had received in the case the moment 110
left the Court, stating to the parties that he felt
himself unable to execute that duty which he had
been called upon to perform, namely, that of leading
counsel instead of junior counsel.
Mr. HEALD observed, that Mr. Montagu was 10
error in supposing that he (Mr. Heald) had fallen
into a mistake respecting his determination to leave
the Court in the absence of leading- Counsel. Ke
had heard that Mr. Montagu had expressed himself
to that eil;_Tt before the Chancery Commission, and
he had done him the favour of sending him several
of his works, all of which he purposed reading
whenever be retired from practice, but at present
those works and the report of the Chancery commix'
sion lay side by side, and God knew when he should
have time to go through them.—(A laugh.)
Mr. MosTeex—lf Mr. HEALD will say upon hi
honour he never knew that it was my practice to
leave the Court unless senior Counsel were present
to open a case in which I was engaged, I will be
satisfied.

Mr. SUGDEN—You have no right to ask him to
pledge his honour.
Mr. HEALD—I will pledge thy honour that I wio
not aware of your intention to quit the Court to-daY-
The VIOE-CHANCELLOR—I would much rather
that this should not be pursued farther.
Mr. SUGDEN—Mr. Montagu stated the other daY
a general charge against all the King's Counsel, im-
puting to them the most base and sordid motive'•
That such a charge was perfectly unfounded, he be'
lie ved the profession generally would allow, and
speaking for himself, he could only say that be
treated the imputation with the bitterest contempt.
Mr. HEALD—SO do I.
Mr. SUGDEN—in public or in private he should
repeat what he had said, • and he eared not holy
widely his opinion was circulated.
The VICE-CIIANCELLOR said that he cave credit
to Mr. Montagu for the course which he had
for he was sure he acted upon the best motives
although the course which he had adopted was 000
from which considerable inconvenience was likely to
arise. lie could not but regret that some plan WO
not adopted to obviate the inconvenience which moot
necessarily result from the circumstance of two Court.
whose jurisdiction was alike, being engaged in buss'
ness at the same time. All, however, that could be
expected of Counsel would be, that they should gig®
notice to their colleagues of their absence in another
place; and it would be well if a similar notice were
served on the parties concerned.
Mr. MONTAGU expressed a wish that the practice
which prevailed in Ireland, to have several Cow'
sel retained in the same cause, where followed in this
country.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR, in an under-tone, " Geid
forbid."

Mr. SHADWELL remarked, that the practice is
Ireland arose from the circumstance of the four
Cow is of law bring all under the same roof, and the
barristers there were in the habit of practising in all
the Courts, by which means several Counsel were
obliged to be employed in the same case to ensure
the attendance of some of them.

Mr. AGAR observed that no gentleman vvithout
the bar had adopted the course pursued by W'
Montagu.

Thaiseussion then dropped.
