GENERAL.
A JUDGE in st. Louis has ruled that the in
sertion Of an advertisement in a newspaper So
Letting practice in procuring divorces. and
promising to secure DEGREES of liberation n
cinculo nldtrino76 without publicity is a SLAM
der upon the true methods of procedure in
courts of justice. tending to induce the public
70 believe that the advertiser possesses certain
facilities and privileges enabling him to obtain
judicial DEGREES with a degree of secrecy fatal
to the good reputation Of the judiciary intrust-
ed with the sacred duty of according Justice to
those demanding it. Justice thus slandered
the st. Louis Judge holds, mag purge herself
Of the stigma by such assessment of penalty as
shall effectualy extirpate the divorce shyster
from the legal profession and annihiate him
in the public regard. The recent General As
sembly of Illinois passed q law forbidding
the publication of advertisements Of this char
acter, but the view that common law has a
remedy for the iniquity is believed to be some
what novel and interesting.
