than the present. He was accused, once upon a time
by his brethren of the coif, of having degraded
atraddariktieornsago:
their order by taking from a client a fee in
copper ; and, on being solemnly arraigned for his
offence in their Common nail, it appears, from
the unwritten reports of that Court of Common
Pleas, that he defended him self by the follow-
ing plea of confession and av oidance :—" I fully
admit that I took a fee fry nu him in copper ;
and not only one, but several ; a aid not only fees as
copper, but fees in silver; but I p ledge my honour as
a sergeant that I never took a sing le fee from him in
silver until I had got ell his gob 1, and that I never
took a single fee from him in coppe r until I had got all
his silver—andyou don't call that a t degradation of our
order ?"
