direction, and by the person 10 WRor
she applied, was ordered to Quit ii
house, and never trouble him again B
such q subject. Not daunted by til
repulse Mr.. w, caused his poor prctege
TO apply to Mr. B., the principal partTie
of the house BY which her father Ia,
been employed, requesting that he wonli
!. kindly exert himself to see justice don,
to her. Mr.. B. was benevolent. 4,
well ais conscientious man; he had eve,
regretted the fate Of poor ST., and III
now felt the deepest Indignation at tic
trio whom, from the report at Mr. w. ].
/ he believed to have appropriated tht
mote. He applied by letter, and por.
! sonally, for the restoration az tht
i money; but met only shuAlino
Edenials and refusals. a. rupture then
took place between the parties, and.
with Mr.. B. Ii concurrence d summons
/ was served BY w upon the three part
Ilcrs Of the dissolved firm, narrating an
4 the circumstances Of the case, and con-
Guiding for the value 81 the missing note,
with interest and expenses. An agent
was employed in defence; but, happily
/ like Mr.. w, he was an honest man. Mr..
M. observing something suspicious in
the case, assembled the three partners
lin his chamber, where conversation
somewhat like the following took place:
Mr.. Nj: Well, gentlemen, your de-
fence in this case, what is it92 4. 1. &.f
Trio: oh, there is no proof that the
pnrsuer's Father lost any note, or that
we found the one lie lost. 4.
.: NJ: Did any of you find d Royal Bank
g. loo note at the time and place stated
in the summons? . . =.@ 5...: !. Y.
Trio: Ay, but what proof is there
that it is the one he lost, If indeed he
lost any note? .:s ..:.. .zs Il. .
M !: Did you at the time know Of the.
entertainments ,. and reward narrated in
Trio: Oh, we cannot remember these
far-back stories. 81 HI. I.
NJ: Yes; but / see you do not deny
them, and 4 wish to know il you your
selves advertised the finding Of the.
note, as was clearly your duty as honest
men? &. . sss WI. 81. s.gs
Trio: No; and surely there was no
Law Of the land which obligedns to do So.
M.::Well, gentlemen tell you frank
~ that this seems to me an ugly affair,
and you had better settle it, for certain
ly i shall not defend you.
Struck with the straightforward
honesty of their own agent, the part
ncrs could not resist his advice. The
opposite agent, Mr. W., was sent for,
and asked what rate OF interest he de-
manaed. He answered to Mr. NJ,
Whateyer you, sir, as agent for the
defenders, think fair" t'Then, said
NJ, 81 FIX it at bank interests" and the
matter was Immediately settled. .:@ !.

had been inflicted by individuals of a
class held generally inrespect, redress

members Of . profession often spoken
Of as wholly predatory and vile. Could
