Acting ON the Lawyers Hint.

They tell a good story of q prominent
counsellor-at-law of this city, which has
thus far escaped the types, but II is really
too good to be enjoyed only by the breth-
rem of the bar, as il passes around the
circle. He was engaged as counsel for n
railroad corporation, defending Il on trial
ut circuit, against n claim for personal in
juries, in which another prominent legal
firm were attorneys for the plaintiff. and
had made n good case. Our worthy friend
saw hat a verdict against his client
would he inevitable, SO he endeavored 10
mitigate the damages" by adopting a
novel line Of argument tn the jury.
He assured them that the injuries
to the plaintiffs person were tri-
vial, and that no action would nave
been brought IL the opposing counsel had
not urged II, and that they might rest as
sured that whatever amount they would
assess against the corporation defendant
at least one-half Of Il would be gathered
in by the attorneys. When the jury went
out they were not long i'm agreeing that
the plaintiff was entitled to recover, and
the sum was fixed i'm the verdict rem
dered for 5000. 1t was subsequently
Learned that the jurors mad first fixed il at
$500, when one of the Jurors remarked:
"Do you mind what Mr.. - said that
4 manning plaintiffs attorneys,
would get half the amount, and, as half of
$500 would not be enough, why not
double it." "Gentlemen, shall we make
il 81 1000, then ?" queried the foreman, and
all nodded in acquiescence.
