voted themselves Zealously and clozely to
the study and practice Of tie law, often
become very profound and able in their
profession before they become well known
TO the public. But the criticism Is not
well taken As 10 AIr. Waite. It is presum-

say that one OF the three counsel for the

Natribunal is not known. He acquitted
himself 70 cTeditably before that body Ivy
