EARL. ELDON.

e .

Some circumstances • a the-very first profes-
sional act which Mr. Scott was called on to peeform that
had a tendency in directing his future success. It was
the first or second day after he had been called to the
bar, and he'vras slowly leaving the court, wheu a smart
dapper person,with a hag dangling behind him, overtook
Mr. Scott. " I beg your, pardon, Sir, said be.' hesita-
tingly and politely,—" Mr. Scott, I believe?"' The
barrister bowed profoundly. - " I have been looking for
you, Sir; you can do this as well as the best of them;
I want you to sign this; aod he pulled out a paper which
required, as a matter of form only, the signature of a
barrister, who was entitled to the fee of 12411-a•guinea
for his share of the ceremony. The counsel bowed
himself almost to the groutid, and seizing a pen, indited
" John Scott" with greater pleasure than he bad ever
before wrote his name in his life. " Beautifully written
—clear open hand—it would be well if we could get
the profession to write like th.t, Mr. Scott. Some of
them make such an aborninble scratch of it—we have
clerks oa purpose to decipher." And all the time the
man was fumbling for his fee. He thrust his right
hand into his pocket, his left into the other, and he
looked on the ground with an air of great disappointment.
" I must h.ve left my purse in the coffee--oom it is
only over the way. I beg you may not stir -trd my
return." And had the green-horn of the law complied
with this advice, he might have remained on the spot
till this hour ; " for never since," has Lord Eldon been
heard to say, " have I laid my eyes on the same man.
But the event had its use. I promise you I took .care
ever afterwards to let these gentry know that when they
brought their briefs to me, they should not leave their
purses in coffee-rooms„"
