you not only abandon your proper stand
point, the Bench, but you fall in the routine
OF a street counselor. But your interference
has this irremediable effect--that having
prejrdged the cause, parties are deferred
from asserting their rights. They are placed
in the position of the poor beast in the fable.
Your Honor being fresh in the classics, |
hope will relish the allusion, and pardon if
misqueted from memory. The lion, the She
goat and some other beasts having formed q
hunting party, immense prey was taken. In
the division, the lion claimed each separate
portion on account Of some special merit, un-
til next to the last, that he claimed because
"he was the king Of beasts, and as for the
last, (said hey whoever desires to claim that,
let him know that he is about have the lion for
an enemy" Moral--"What could the poor
beasts do, for who could bear to have the
lion for an enemy?"
When / assign to your Honor, the posi-
ton of the lion, hope you cannot but feel
that it is intended as complimentary. These
parties who had obtained their liens upon
the Shoenbar Mill, find nearly all their means
locked up in these causes. The property was
advertised also under the revenue law, to be
sold for delinquent taxes, which had no con-
nectiop with the lien cases. You instructed
the Sheriff he must force the lien holders to
pay these taxes, which were never levied
against them, but against the mill, before
sale, otherwise he would be responsible for
the taxes. You might as well have instruct
ed the Sheriff that he must see to it, that
each lien holder had paid for his breakfast,
otherwise he would be responsible for his
next weeks board. You should have known
that the property would be as much liable for
the delinquent taxes after, as before the sale,
and the lien holders had right to per-
nit the tax sale, and to take the six
months redemption. They could have ap-
piled to you for an order forcing the Sheriff
to SELL You had no. business to interfere in
the matter. But, "who could bear to have
the lion for an enemy" You forced the
parties to borrow money to pay another
mans taxes in order to secure their adjudged
rights. But your advice itself is sufficiently
erroneous, if given by practIcing attorney
to support an action for malpractice. "Let

Plutarch narrates that when Solon was
engaged in framing a code of laws for Ath.
ems, Anaeharsis being his guest laughed at
the absurdlty of the undertaking saying, that
laws III all respect resembled spiders webs
and would like them, only entangle and hold
the poor and weak while the rich and DOW
erful easily break through them" The Sc
quence proved, Plutarch remarks that Ann
charsls was more nearly correct than Scion.
The sneer has ever since been too often, a Just
ly repeated reproach against The Administered
lion 9fjuStice the purity of which being i'm
paired the laws themselves, are brought into
contempt whatever may be the wisdom, and
exact justice Of their provisions. Upon YOU
