A Question of Trust.

The relation of trust existing between lawyer and client is, of course, very close, but few barristers, we imagine, have carried their conception of profes- sional duty to the height exempli6ed in Chamillard, the great French advocate. He had pleaded, it seems, D case unsuc- cessfully, and his failure was indisputa- bly, due to the non-production of an important document. The Judges de- cision had been confirmed by the Parlia- ment, and there was now no appeal. Chamillard protested that he had never seen the document, but the client insist ed that it had been handed to him with the other papers. At length the lawyer opened his bag, searched, and found the missing instrument. The advocates course was taken on the instant he told the litigant to call on him the next morning. Meanwhile he gathered to- gether all the money he could raise, and, on his clients appearing, handed the whole over to him, although it in volved the loss of his whole fortune. But this was not all he dld. He called upon the President of the court, and begged not to be intrusted thereafter with any official duty, looking on him. self as derelict, and a just object of suspi- cion after so great @ laches, notwith- standing his honorable reparation.
