English LAWYERS.

The London Luv Times has the fol
lowing: 1t is seldom that any English
Judge upon the bench condemns the ok.
cessive cost Of litigation, and of lega
proceedings generally, i'll this country
We would that it were done more often,
| hardly less Ill the interest of the profcs
sion than on public grounds. We hope
that the strong, but becoming language
in which Lord Justice James recently
condemned the enormous cost of litiga-
ton will not be lost upon our profession,
and especially upon those members of il
upon whom the responsibilities Of a scat
III Parliament are now resting. Is il
wise, we ask, for lawyers to try the cx-
pertinent of leaving laymcn, both in and
out of Parliament, to cut down the cost
of legal'procecdings? Is it not the duty
of the legal profession itself to take up
this question and apply the necessary
| remedies, some Of which are already Mt
hand? Any sufficient and therefore sub
stantial, alterations in the legal procedure
must necessarily affect large numbers of
the profession; III some cases adversely,
and III others to disadvantages. Among
the sources which give rise to costs the
incurringof which might often be avoided,
the following may be mentioned: Plead
ings, which practice the iudicaturc acts
have to all cxtents and purposes pre-
served; the central, instead of the local
administration Of justice; the interests
and the privileges Of the bar; the system
by which solicitors are rcmuncrated; tho
practice of the judges in granting new
trials; the unnecessary large fees often
received by counsel and allowed on taxa
ton; the scale of cost drawn with dis
tinct view of encouraging solicitors to en-
ploy counsel, instead of rice versa; the
delay of dealing with the high court OF
justice; the uncertainty Of the law as at
present administered, in the absence of
code, and in view Of the enormous &C.
emulation OF case law, and by which
litigation sometimes become little better
than II gambling speculation; and finally,
both branches Of the profession are filed
to overcrowding, and the result is re-
siduum in both branches of speculative
lawyers, who are danger to society, and
who include the black sheep of the pro-
tessiOn.

needed the reqdest, and in turn recited
their verses bearing upon that popular
topio-such as "Love your enemies"

etc. The teacher said to the boy whose

your verse;" Rising. he responded,

What ~ Mamma.

The planting Of fraxinus trees in
Italy yields a good return without
any great trouble or cost incurred.
At the age of eight years these trees
are used to produce mama. for which
purpose a horizontal incision is made
in the bark about one-fith of the en-
tire breadth. The mama is collected
for nine years, when the trees become
exhausted, and are cut down, leaving
only a single shoot, which in five
years also produces. The juice which
flows from the missions is at first
brownish, and has a bitterish taste,
but after some hours in contact with
air il becomes solid, whitish and
sweet, forming long pipes or small
stalactites, Sometimes the juice is
very fluid, when il runs down, form.

while some portions drop to the
ground, and is collected on leaves.
Mamma is gathered once weak, and
only in fine weather. A man provid
ed with two vessels goes round to the
trees. collects the pipes and scrape;
the smooth mass from the surface.
The first is "manna canellata," the
second "manna in sorta." After the
collection both sorts are spread out in
the sun to dry, and then sold.
