GAVE THE LAWYER a LESSON.


Vice Chancellor PItney Won,t ToIer-
ate N. ". Legal ssMeSalocephaIus.,,
Vice Chancellor Pitney gave a vigorous
dressing down yesterday to a little New
YORK lawyer, one of a class who come owe,
TO New Jersey under the Impression that
the members of the bar in this State
are a lot OF hayseeders and resemble
necessity in that that they know no law
Tit little lawyer who received the verbaj
mauiing was NJ. A. Lesser, of No. III
Nassau street, who during the process
looked as happy as st. Laurent on the
gridiron.
Some time ago the Court of Chancery
appointed Lawyer George G. Tenant re-
ceiyer of the Magic Introduction Com
pany. A claim against this company had
been assigned to M. L. and c. Ernst
of New York, and with the exception OF
this claim the receiver had disposed OF
all of them. The adjustment of this mat
ter gave the receiver a great deal OF
trouble because Mr.. Tenant held a note
against the assignor of the claim. Lesser
was counsel for the Ernst Company
which appealed from a decision of the re.
ceiver ~deducting the note from the claim
Then Lesser made a demand from Mr.
Tenant for 50 as his fee for collecting ac-
counts for his own client.
Mr.. Tenant wouldn't pay the fee and
Lesser took his revenge in sending letters
to the receiver remarkable for the
Malapropian use of long words and
generally offensive statements. They
were all addressed to mister Tenant
and n of them talked about a claim
which he, the receiver, had so postum
mously discovered or thought to have
ben discovered by your sapient self"
The last letter was read to Vice Chan
cellor Pitney today by Mr.. Tenant and
when Lesser rose to explain the Vice
Chancellor holding the letter up before
him sternly said:-
'"Th is a highly improper letter to send
to an officer of his court and 1 shall
debar you from any further participation
in this case"
but SIR" pleaded Lesser. II want to
-. b u he didn't get any further for
down came the Vice Chancellor's well
worn gaven accompanied by these
Words:-
7 will not hear you. You only ap-
peared here by courtesy and after such a
letter to an officer of this court you cam
appear before me. You must get some
New Jersey lawyer to speak for your
clients
Lesser sat down a much lesser man
= he was when he came in and when
Mr.. asked him to give back the
objectionable letter which he had picked
up from the desk where the Vice Chan
cellor had thrown 1t, he rudely said Il
won't" and the Vice Chancellor heard
him.
Give up that letter or / will can the
Sergeant-at-Arms." Numbered Mr.. Pitney
ominously and the little LAWYER
p~etulantly gave it up and picking up his
bundle of papers left the court room with
his feathers very much ruffled.

II II true that Governor Heber
II. Wells received . revelation d.
rect from the Lord requesting him,
the Governor, to select the Hon.
W. W. Taylor. and the Hon. p. W.
Nelson TO serve % the two leading
commissioners to the Tennessee
centennial, then We are of the opin-
ION that the Lord is q mighty poor
business man.
During our boyhood days We
ware tsEght to believe that the Lord
knew everything from the begin
ming to the end of the world, and
Il It i Q fact that the Lord does
know everything, and that he, the
Lord, does Misceo up in all the
affairs of men, then we are of the
impression that he should have
warned the Governor not to choose
these two gentlemen, because they
have become very offensive to the
nostriIs of al the decent members
Of our RACE throughout Utah.
Mr.. Nelson has left the city In
disgrace, and the chances are two
to one that he will never return to
pay back the large sums of money
that he borrowed from e great
many of our good citizens. And
poor old Bill has become tangled
up with the lawyers In one or two
law suits, and the chances are two
to one that they, the lawyers, will
akin him alive before they will per-
NIT him to slip through their
clutches. So, in the name of all
the honest men and women of our
city We again ask the Governor to
revoke the commissions of these
two notorious scoundrels and select
the Hon. s. D. Chambers of Mill
Creek to serve in their places.

Dear William If we have proven
ourself to be Q traitor to the negro
race why have you and Mr.. P. 81.
Robinson and Mr.. James Thomas,
and one or two other gentlemen
whose names we viii withhold for
the present. We will repeat it, why
have you, and these other two gen.
tlemen, urged us to become aftil-
lated with your High Marine
Lodge. You know that you your
self have on one or two occasions
requested us to let you hand in our
application, and at the same time
you assured us that we would not
be black balled for being q Demo-
crat.
About ten years ago we read q
book on Free Masonry, wherein it
said that it was considered q crime
for any member of the order to
even ask an outsider to join the
lodge. If this is so, then it must
be a double crime to ask q traitor
to connect himself with q lodge.
We wish to impress this one idea
on the minds of all your friends
and brothers, that we do not claim
to be q prize fighter, nor the son of
q prize fighter, neither do we claim
to be bulldozer, nor the son of .
bulldozer.
But we want it distinctly under
stood that we do not entertain the
least fear of meeting any man that
walks upon the face of the green
earth. We are willing to meet you
and all of your mighty host of the
internal regions single handed and
alone out in the open field, but we
will never enter your lodge rooms
blindfolded, because we are afraid
that you would cut our throat. Hol
