We have often heard of the cute
traits Of the Philadelphia lawyer and
of his being able TO master things that
seemed impossible TO his country prac-
t]itioners, but we learned Of a little in
cident occurring a short time ago, in
in which a justice Of the peace not a
mile from the court house learned how
very exact n member Of the Philadel-
phia bar could be. The lawyer had a
claim put in his hands for collection
against "A certain man in town 10 the
amount of nearly 800 and sent it on
to the justice TO have him sue the party
at once, enclosing a check for - to de
fray the necessary costs
The justice called on the aforesaid
business man and stated the facts. A
few days passed and the business man
called ON the justice and paid him the
claim in full. The justice RENTED the
mount to the lawyer, and, wisely OF
uuwisely for him. stated the money had
been collected without "a suit and that
he would retain the check Of 81 for his
trouble, Here the lawyer baked and
wrote hat unless the check was re
turned at once he would order the dis
trict attorney to bring suit for receiv-
ing illegal fees.
The justice waited and found the
lawyer had really written the district
attorney, and in order to accommodate
the city attorney the Justice returned
the check, receiving nothing for his
time spent in collecting the money, be
sides the waste Of postage. Perhaps
this justice will not trouble himself COLI
