Professional Incomes of New York
Lawyers.

AMONG those who reap a handsome
harvest out of the present panic the legal
fraternity stands pre-eminent. An i'm
mense increase of litigation has been it's
inevitable result Every merchant, bank
er Or broker, who was in trouble, was
obliged to retain lawyer, and in many
instances more than one. For instance,
the Grinnell bankruptcy case, when it
first appeared before Judge Blatchford,
brought six well-paid lawyers into court
The fees required by these men ON such
an occasion would not be less than $10,-
900, and the cost of the entire Grinnell
suit will probably equal five times that
sum. This may seem like a large esti-
mate, but it is to be remembered that the
securities which this house held were
100000, and the amount at stake al
ways has bearing on the legal charges.
Our best lawyers valse their time at from
$40 to $50 per hour, which is not an unrea-
sOnable charge. By consultation with
one of these men you can in an hour OBJ
tain an opinion which is worth fifty times
the amount of the fee. If, however, the
case be one where hair d million is at
stake, then instead Of a mere fifty you
will be expected to advance a retaining
fee of $500, or perhaps $1,000. This pre-
vents any one from securing the services
of the lawyer thus retained. If lawyer,
even after receiving such fee, should
win the case he will expect from $4,000
to SIS, 200 additional. Our great lawyers
demand pay commensurate with their
reputation, and hence some of them can
boast a practice worth $4,000 per year.
O'Connor, previous to his retirement,
made annually, it is said, nearly four
times that sum. Indeed, he was probably
paid 100000 for his services in the
Jumel case. He is now worth more than
million, all of which he has made by
his own genius and industry.-7roy
