A Just DiciSiOn

According to a decision just rem dered by the supreme court of Cali, fornia. lawyers are not at liberty to decline to appear in the defense of impecunious prisoners. if assigned to that duty by the court, Judge Clark, Of Sacramento, requested D young attorney to take charge of the defense in a case where no conn pensatiou could be expected, and adiudgcd q refusal to he contempt of court, for which he imposed fine. Upon a writ of habeas corpus, issued by the appellate court, this decision was pronounced sound law.
