LEGAL DUTIES.

An Eastern paper says, in reference to
the Stokes cXse, that "sinee our great
lawyers have become the allies of the
criminal, ,ani have interposed their legal
ability TO screen him from the conse-
quences Of his crime, they are equally
responsible with rum and rowdyism for
the present disregard of human life. -"
This view of the case is illogical in the
highest degree. A lawyer cannot fairly
be charged with n moral offense simply
because he presents the case of an ac-
cused man il its best possible aspect.
Not only is he free from censure for so
doing, but a failure to do so would cover
him with disgrace among the profession
and in the community He is not, us
many seem to think, obliged to do dis
honorable acts to save client from the
laws vengeance. He is bound to do for
his client legally what the client would
do for himself if he had the lawyers
tact and skill. The State has u paid
attorney TO prosecute those charged with
crime, and it would be mockery of JUS
tice to compel n layman to enter upon
his own defense, while a skilled lawyer
was paid to prosecute him. The laws
aim is TO protect the innocent as well as
to punish the guilty; hence the right and
justice of allowing every one accused an
opportunity to make the be possible
legal defense.
