deadly weapon; he is said to have stabbed q
man in the face with knife. Graham had no
money to employ counsel, and one of his bonds
men employed Judge Nee to defend him in the
police court by consent of the prosecuting attor-
ney the case was reduced to assault and battery.
To this, Graham, by the advice of his counsel,
pleaded guilty and he was fined one hundred dol
lars. Grahams wife was present at the trial and
our attorney formed her acquaintance. When
she left the court room she was met by him and
asked how the case terminated. She answered
that her husband had been fined one hundred dol
lars. He differed with Judge Sawyer said the
penalty was too severe and that he had no doubt
if the matter was appealed to the county court
that the amount would be reduced to fifty dollars
He also told her that in his opinion this could be
done, and so represented matters that at his re-
quest she gave him ten dollars to appeal the case.
To appeal a case like this, where the defend
ant pleads guilty, would be useless, and Mr.. Law
yer soon became satisfied with this fact. Bat
then that fee of ten dollars-it had got to the
bottom of his pocket, and by what rule of law it
should be given up, he, in his extensive ~ prac-
tice and reading, it seems, never stumbled upon.
II he did, he evidently forgot all about it. Mrs.
Graham demanded her money, but he stouty re-
fused to give it. His services were worth some
thing he said, and he knew how to get paid for
them. Mrs Graham proceeded to Mr.. Louder.
backs Office and was about to enter complaint
against him, when he softened, and offered to d.
vide with her. "share ard share alike" Mr. Lou
derback told him he had no claim to the woman's
money, and in justice, that he should return it,
as he had performed no services whatever for
Mrs. Graham, and that it was not just that he
should retain any fee. Our lawyer thought that
his advice was worth FIVE dollars, but he stood
alone in his glory. Several persons urged him to
return the money, but he positively refused to
give back more than five dollars, which Mrs. Gra-
ham accepted and went away
Some time ago certain lawyer, or rather
person admitted to practice, actually took the
boots from mans feet as a fee to defend him.
Another case of similar nature occurred here
not many days ago, in which a man was too poor
to pay the cash Immediately, had to give the
watch out of his pocket and his gold spectacles
as security to lawyer to take his case. The
man, who is Dear-nigbted, was unable to recog-
nize one of his friends who called on him at the
prison, and did not know him until he heard him
speak. In this connection the question occurs
Is it not in the power of the courts to punish
such conduct? From the police judge, where
such things are of every day occurrence, but little
stoOp to unprOfessonal conduct such as that sta
led above, should scarcely be retained on the list
of practitioners in our courts.-IS. F. AHa Gala.

1t is very generally known that practitioners ia
the police court, dubbed attorneys at law, are
sometimes so hard pushed for practice that they
resort to means decidedly unprofessional and even
contemplate, to secure client. So keen is the
competition between these worthless, that " like
the child of many fathers" the prisoner in the
dock is often represented by more than one coun-
sci, andthey sometimes dispute the right to plead
bis case, with more ardor and brass than would
be considered respectable by rival fsh-womeu of
the London markets. The police court has often
the scene of dsgraceful pickering between coun-
sci contending for the right to plead the case of
some unlucky wretch awaiting trial These bick-
erings often assume the magnitude Of boisterous
demonstrations and are with difficulty suppressed
However unprofessional such conduct may appear,
it does not represent the worst feature Of the DO
lice court practitioner. They hang around the
city prison continually, watching the prisoners
brought in from time to time, that they may se-
cure themselves clients. All pardonable, it is
true, provided they act honorably with those
whose money they seek Some do all for their
clients that their limited ability will permit 9th
ers who practice in the police court would not
stoop at all to means so contemplate to obtain
practice, but with third class. nothing but the
fee is thought Of.
A case occurred yesterday which fully demon
strates the character of this third class, and
proves that they possess at least, sufficient tact
to get hold Of fee. The party referred to is a
comparative stranger in the city, but he promises
to excel as third-class police court attorney at

To the Editor of the Cairo Bulletin:
The readers Of the BULLETIN are NO
doubt informed before this time, that the
Governors message is brand Of FIRE in
the radical camp. The high esteem in
which Governor Palmer is everywhere
held as An able lawyer and faithful and
honest executive, makes It very difficult
indeed to make any open attack upon the
message. And then the positions are so
we'll taken, that no one has any desire to
set himself up in opposition to them. But
there is great fear that the message is q
part Of the resistless undercurrent within
the radical stream which is setting against
the administrati on Of the renowned horse
man who is now the nominal head Of the
general government, and radicals gen.
orally consider it their duty to interpose
their feeble opposition. So in the senate
they refused to print the message, in
accordance with the usual custom. Thi:
refusal has undoubtedly given the message
= greater publicity than the printing
could possibly have done, for it has called
out comments from the press which have
attracted the attention or the people, and
made the position taken by the governor
thoroughly understood and appreciated.
The event will certainly have some sig
nifcance in the formation Of tickets for
1872, but exactly what is now beyond
mortal ken.
a bill for the restoration Of titles in
Chicago has been introduced and read a
first time. 1t provides for the appoint
ment by the governor Of three commits
sioners, who shall have power, after adver-
Using for three months, to hear the claims
OF parties interested, and where they are
satisfied that any claimant has clear title
to property, to give him certificate which
shall be entitled to record, and which shall
be admitted as evidence the same as copies
of deeds. Where the title is not clear,
and the certificate is refused, the claimant
may file bill in equity, and the abstracts
Of titles which are in the possession Of
some private parties in Chicago, may be
admitted, with the oath Of the claimant,
as secondary evidence. These proceedings

Immediately.
Senator Whiting, who last winter was
very energetic in his advocacy Of the dog
law, is now exerting himself against the
spread Of Canada thstles. This pest hav-
ing made its appearance in many counties

ment Of an officer in each township or

be to hunt out and destroy the invader.
