1t is currently reported that certain
attorneys and law firms in this city,
who are foreclosing mortgages for east
ern clients, are using a publication in
this city that has not one hundred bona
| fide subscribers. Full legal rates are
charged for these publications. Collec-
| tons for the same are made through
| the courts and sheriff and the publisher
paying back one-half of the fee TO the
attorneys, at the same time these same
publications can be had at less than
one-half the price which is being paid
for them, in regular newspapers of the
city The Interpretation of the law is
that a newspaper shall be Of general
| circulation, which means paying sub
scribers, and not a paper given away
with few exchanges--and no legitimate
circulation. But the client pays the
money and the attorney takes IL.
