IS A. BARBER A TRADESMAN.

| Is barber a tradesman? This is not
an academic" question, but one OF
practical breaking the law; whereas, If
| he lisa tradesman he may shave you on
| Sunday without breaking the law;
| whereas If he is tradesman, he comes
under the veto of that act of Charles
II. which prohibits any "tradesman,
aritficer, workman, or laborer" from
carrying on his ordinary calling on the
Lords Day. The point was argued in
the Queens Bench Division yesterday,
on the appeal Of Wolverhampton
hairdresser who had been fined three
shillings and sixpence by the Stipendi-
airy for attending to local boards and
whiskers on a Sunday. The appellants
counsel, argued with much learning,
that the barber was not a "tra desman,"
according to the meaning of the term as
understood in the reign of King Charles
H. and previously In Shakespeares
Julius Caesar, a cobbler, who was an
artificer, if not an artist, would have
scorned the imputation OF being a
tradesman. In fact the individual so
designated ranked a little lower than
the "lahorer," in the crude Tudor and
Stuart days, when there were no trades
unions, and the people could sometimes
speak disrespectfully even of the work.
