Thu complainant stated t 0.,;. cp. diAindant came to hi
house and rung. his bell, witL...h aes,,ered by hi.
Yalu, wIL,, according to witic,:s .Lietions, told the
cuaed that be (complainant) n‘i at home. The
prison:A. insisted upon seeing hi und kept ringing at
the bell and knocking at the door ix so annoying a man-
lier, that witness eventually sent fora policeman, and
gave him in charge.
Mr. CoomnE (to defendant)..--Wrbat have you to say
to this ?—Defendant—l was sent ymy master to de-
mand payment of 91. from him.
Mr. COOMBE —What is that sum doe. !'or ! Defendant
—lt. has been due to bin
.for fees upwards of six years.
Mr. COOMBE (to complainant)—Jo you owe this ino;.
ney ? Complainant—Not legally.
Nlr. CoomnE---Ah ! not legally. I know what you
mean. You know that a barrister is in the same predi-
cament as a physician—that is, that he cannot sue for
his fees. Do you deny ever having employed Mr. Tyr-
rell ? Complainant (hesitating)—l did not employ him,
but he did some business in an affair in which I was
engaged.
Me. CooMBE-And dill% you have the papers ?
Co.nplainant—Yes.
Mr. Coo MBE I thought so. Now, to my knowledge,
there arc a set of scamps of attorneys who have not the
ability to transact any business that may come into their
hands, and when that Is the case they employ some bar-
rister to do it, and afterwards shield themselves from
payment on the ground that, according to your own
words, he cannot legally enforce payment. Now, if I
were the clerk of Mr. Tyrrell, I think I should dun you
a little more.

Defendant—Whenever I go to his house he is denied
me. I should not have rang the bell a second time if he
had not been denied. I knew he was at home, having
seen his face at the window when I went up to the house.
A policeinan, in answer to the Magistrate, said no
disturbance was created by dtlendant.
Mr. COOIIIBE-I am a barrisl.er, and will give an opi-
nion and advice gratis. In the first place, y::u had no
more right to give the accused iii charge than you have
to order an offie,. r this moment to lock to,, up ; ithd if
Day can ascertain that you are worth pow&r and shot, I
recommend him to bring tin swami against you. I am,
however, of opinion, that you are one of those LY ttyfog-
ging fellows so dangerous to society aial disgraceful to
the profession. You may now go.

went up to hasten him, and found that his father had hung
himself.
