Important Action of the Bar


At meeting of the Law Association, held on
Monday last, committee of five, composed of
the following members of the bar-Eli X, Price,
William L. Hirst, George w Thorn. Thomas J.
Diehl. and Arthur NJ. Burton-was appointed tn
consider the subject of illegal fees extorted by
the officers of the courts and the Sheriff.
One OF the speakers at the meeting, an old
and active member of the BAR spoke of the sub.
iect as a great public wrong, and one which IL
concerned the members of the bar to redress,
not that they were particularly affected by It,
for they we're not, except that they suffered in
their own dignity and sense of honor and duty
SO long as they stood indfferently by aud made
no protest against an Infamous and constantly
increasing fraud upon the community, whose
advisers and agents they, the members of the
bar, we're. The gentleman said he alluded to
the unparalleled eXtortion and robbery of liti-
giants by the various officers of the RoW-the
Clerks of the Courts and the Sheriff.
The speaker represented that from year to
year an organized system of robbery had been
practised upon the community, and that at last
IL had assumed such a9nitude, was SO insoent
and shameless in its extortions, that he felt IL
the duty of the Bar Association of Philadelphia
to interfere.
