THE BAR AND THE PRESS.

(From the Law Time 4 of Saturday.) •
We have learned from an authentic source, althoug _t
have as yet received no official intimation of the fact, too;
meeting of all, or the greater portion, of her Majesty 'S t
sel was held on Wednesday evening, at the residence t'eo
Attorney-General, to take into consideration the surnio
er matt of this controversy, with a view to an expressitp
opinion as to the propriety or otherwise of circuit and '1..0-,
reporting by members of the bar, with a view to a settle
of
W the dispute one way or the other.
e are not permitted to state the particulars of the
sion that there took place, nor the names of the partie°
the sentiments they expressed, although some of tberlba
reported to us, sound passing strange after the langtlageest:
had &lir from the same lips elsewhere. We can at Pri
announce only the result, which was a decided exPres!rct,'
opinion that there was no objection to the practice of ci
and other reporting by members of the bar. „
Although this was only the expression of an opillo-'5O-'.
is not submitted as a regulation, still, proceeding fr°ra
an authority, it cannot but be deemed decisive of the go,—
tion that has been so hotly debated. The press hes__„-,.';•.
again proved its omnipotence, and achieved another triu"e'L
There cannot be a doubt, when all the circumstances (bat ;
sidered, and previous speeches and votes remembered, tuev,
the summary course adopted in suppressing the names.l.r
of her Majesty's counsel, as well as of lesser men in their
ports, the newspapers are indebted for this victory.
Now, that the controversy is virtually at an end,
express a hope that, by observing the strictest impartiAcui
themselves, and requiring it of their reporters, the
papers will avoid again to excite the feelings of anno u
at undue prominence for some, and unjust suppress,- uic
others, which were the immediate causes of a dispute no
had been a source of profound regret among those Wbc't tl
ourselves, were desirous of raising the respectability ° .0,
newspapers, and preserving the high repute of our prof f.'
and therefore deemed that both would be benefited vi
honourable alliance, and harmed by unseemly difference'
