ROMAN LAWYERs.--At first, the Roman
pleaders received no remuneration beyond
the services which every client owes his

become a distinct science, it became the
practice for clients to reward their advocates

Cinctan law passed 10 prevent this) were
often disguised as secret loans. Before the
fall Of the republic, these fees equaled IN
magnitude the largest fees known in modern
times. Even Cicero, who was regarded as
a model Of disinterestednpss, is said to have
received from Publius SiIla $4,000, MS a
fee for his forensic services. In modern
times many fortunes have been made at the
bar but we imagine none can be compared
with that Of NJ Lucinius Cfassus, whose
fortune is said to have exceeded $4,000, 600.
One mode of rewarding advocates by legacies
left them by Their clients, appears to have
been source of considerable profit, and was
esteemed highly honorable to the legatee.
Cicero boasted that ia this way he had re-
ceived 20,000000 sesterces, more than
SS00,000 We fear that clients il our day
are not SO liberal in their last will and tesla
ments. In fact, during the best days OF
Rome success at the bar was the surpst

art of forensic speaking was greatly cul-
tlvated and with such success. Probably no
age has produced band Of more eloquent
men than Cicero and his contemporaries Of
the Roman Empire.
