10 what expediencies those versed

advice given to lswyet'I clieuts. But
the case Of Mr.. Rsnshaw, young

haps one Of the most remarkable.
1t appears that he failed sons time
ago and that the creditors Obtained

how to prevent the creditors from

placed into the hands Of some Other

established oy the decision OF "a court
that thorough reform had taken place,
Here, then, was the saving clause.

that he must get drunk repeatedly.

The story sounds queer, but is told
as true. III so, the question arises
whether lawyer cannot be held re-
sponsible for advising client to lead

10 another question, whether
