and took his seat on the central platform, followed
by several Judges, the band in the gallery mean

afterward Lord Colerdge entered by tho
rear door through the tent and was es-
csrted to a seat. As he appeared IN view

rho nresdent of the association. Lord Colerldge
remained standing while Judge Ruser was making
the address Of welcome. The Judge dwelt par
ticularly upon the debt which America owed the
mother country for the benefits OF che common law.
In visiting this country, he said, the Lord Chief
Justice came to a land where the common law had
undisputed sway.
The president called upon William NJ EVarts
more formally to greet the distinguished visitor.

other no contrast could De more striking; the hne
delicate features and slight frame OF Mr.. Eyarts

and courts Of America aud England. One oil me

LAWYER and client. The lawyer might " fleece" his
client, but he never faYed him; for judicious

applause.
