This supervision IS now about TO BE- stil fur

step that Is about TO be taken on the demand u

Is only natural that he should have TO ask AID
obtain the Lord Chancellor's permission before
accepting any brief in cases against the Crown.
Formerly Queens Counsel had TO swear that they
did not believe in the damnable doctrine of
MISREPRESENTATION" the object being TO pre-
vent Roman Catholics from becoming Queens
Counsel But now that d-yout Roman Catholic
occupies thu exalted position q Lord Chief Jus
tce II England this ancient form Of oath has
been abandoned. After receiving his patent
from the Lord Chancellor the new Queens
Counsel presents himself in each Of the high

ion-d ceremony. and Is called within thu bar
that is 20 say. to the seat reserved for tn
wearers Of the silk. from which place he makes
very low bow 10 the bench a much less obse-
Quious salute to the Queens Counsel beside him
and an extremely condescending nod to the
junior bar which he has Just quilted. That com
plet-s the ceremony.
THE MAN WHO TAKES THE FEES
The other branch of the legal profession
ramely. the solicitors while lacking the social
and official prestige Of the members Of thu bar
NAV be said 70 enjoy the more profitable role
name Of solicitor is due to the fact that in olden
times when the business Of advocacy in the
Court Of Chancery was confined to the so-called
SIX clerks. the latter We're SO overwhelmed with
work that it almost impossible for a sutton
30 get anything done in that court unless he
managed either 20 bride or by interest 10 So
cure the goodwill Of one OF the six clerks above
mentioned. For this purpose he employed men
whose business it was 70 solicit" the clerks
and thus 10 expedite the business. Hence the
name Solicitors were FIRST formed into a corpora
ton in the reign II King James I. To-day there
are some fifteen thousand II them on the roll
which is kept by the Judge known as the Master

TIE JUNIOR BAR
The costume Of the Junior in court consists
Of ordinary street attire. preferably dark OF a
bombazine gown pair Of white cambric bands
worn at the throat and a small bob tie white
wig Of goats hair, with two queer little tails at
the back. The gown. open In front and reaching
down to the middle Of the calf OF the leg. has
sleeves that are large and balloon-like. gathered
up at the edge and kept from getting in the way
by little straps or strips Of ribbon and buttons
The gown is gathered at the back into innumer-
able little folds, its fulness commencing at this
point Ii has cape hood. and is altogether
the most clinging, uncomfortable dsagreeable
and get-in-the-way garment ever invented. Its
origin is a mystery, but the Oldest prints and
woodcuts representing tribunals show lawyers
pleading in gowns identical In shape to those
worn today by the members OF the junior bar
That the bar is conservative is shown 10y the
fact that when. in the reign OF King Edward III,
every one began 20 wear the short robes then
in fashion. the lawyers alone resisted this in
noyation. and SO earned the title Of gentlemen
Of the long robe" which has followed them 10
this day
There are two appendages 70 the gown thai
deserve special NOTICE The first is a small piece
Of stuff roughly shaped like "W" attached 10
the yoke at the back which represents the bag
or purse which barristers wore behind them, and
into which their clients were in the habit in
bygone days Of dropping the honoraria, or fees,
so as not TO wound the susceptbilities Of counsel
by openly paying them for services which BY
an amiable fiction were, and are still supposi-
titiously. rendered free OF charge. For even
in these present times money is allowed 10
