No HIRING
No FEE DUE
Lawyer Who's Ills Own
Client Cannot
Collect.

An interesting decision on the ques-
ton of allowing an attorney a fee in
the taxation of costs where he has
pleaded his own case was rendered yes
terday by Judge Robinson. 1t seems
to be against the principle heretofore
admitted in the local courts. where ex-
ecutors and guardians of estates have
collected snug fees for themselves in
addition to commissions.
This case is that of H. G. Middle
ditch. trustee in bankruptcy of Chas-
F. Herrick Carriage Co, Ltd, VS.. Da-
yid Kawananakoa. Defendant moved
to revoke and set aside the order OF
the court made on November Is last.
wherein the plaintiffs bill of costs was
taxed at $685., the ground of motion
being that said order was IMPROVE
IDENTIFY and inadvertently made without
consideration of the fact that said
plaintiff is not entitled to have taxed
as costs herein any attorneys fee, he
being duly licensed attorney of this
court and having acted in his own be-
half at the trial of this cause and at
and during all of the proceedings had
herein.''
After considering the common law
and citing several authorities, the court
grants the motion and taxes the plain
tiff's costs at s17.75 instead of the bill
revoked. Judge Robinson in the course
of his decision makes the following. OBJ
servations:
'At common law, costs were not re-
coverabl expressly by name in any
case by either the plaintiff or defend
ant, but in practice, in cases where the
plaintiff recovered damages, a certain
amount was generally added thereto
by the jury to compensate him for the
expense to which he had been put, and
when the defendant was successful me
plaintiff was amerced by the king pro
faIso cIamore.
IN their origin they were given
rather as a punishment of the defeated
party for causing the litigation than as
a recompense to the successful party |
for the expenses to which he had been
subjected. Now. how ever, the latter
theory generally obtains in the legs
lation in regard to them.
'sAll taxable costs, therefore, are of
statutory creation, and if recoverable
at all are recoverable only by virtue
of the statute creating them.
''It is difficult to ascertain from the
statutes in force in this Territory in
regard to the taxation of attorneys j
fees as costs whether the legislature, |
in imposing this class of costs, intend
ed them as punishment of the de-
feated party for causing the litigation |
or as a recompense to the successful
party for the expenses to which he had
been subjected. But whether intended
as a penalty or not, L am inclined to
the opinion that q party is not entitled
to attorneys fees, co nomine, unless
he has actually incurred some expense
for services rendered by an attorney"

THE BRIGHT SIDE

of life. It is feeling common
to the majority of us that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more or
less miserable i'll health takes
first place. Hannah More said
that sin was generally to be at
tributed to biliousness. No doubt
a crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind:
like vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
~ be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
Boosting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves its
reputation is conceded. It is
palatable as honey and contains
the nutritive and curative prop
critics of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
combined with the Compound
Syrup of Hypophosphites, Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
Nothing has such record of
success in Scrofula, Influenza,
Throat and Lung Troubles, and
emaciating complaints and dis
orders that tend to undermine
the foundations of strength and
vigour. Its use helps to show
LIES brighter side. Professor
Reddy, of Canada, says: 81 have
much pleasure in stating that I
have used it in cases of debility
and found it to be a very valu-
able remedy as well as pleasing
to take" You cannot be disap.
pointed in it. Sold by chemists.

NIGHT SESSION.
HABEAs CORPUS RETURN.

High Sheriff Henry yesterday filed a
return to the petition of Fukunaga for
a writ of habeas corpus. He denies
that the fishery penal law under which
Fukunaga was convicted was repealed
by the Organic Act, that the District
Magistrate of Eva had no jurisdiction
and that all the proceedings ending in
the detention of the petitioner are null
and void.

Little Railroad That Caused Trouble.

TT is curious K.tle line. this Mos
hassuck Valley Railroad, over
4 which the Pawtucket Democrats
waxed indignant in the General As
sembly last week. There is no other like
1t in Rhode Island. and there is nothing
else like the combination passenger car
and locomotive used as the passenger
train.
The road owns two locomotives, Whlch
is ore for each mile of its length. but
uses only one, and that for freight ser
vice. and the engineer OF the dummy
passenger coach has an easy time be-
tween trains. II takes him ten minutes
TO run over the road on schedule, and
he runs ten trains in a day Of nearly
thirteen hours, the first one at in the
morning.
Protection Against Trespass.
The terminus where the road connects
with the CONSOLIDATED" road at Wood
lawn is a spur track. and at the other
end is the Saylesville postofiice, which
IS located at the edge OF the property
of the Sayles bleacheries there. For the
last quarter-mile Of its length the road
is protected against promiscuous tres
passing because passengers cannot leave
the train and outsiders cannot get on
the track, which runs through the mill
yard and stops on the mill premises
A wooden shield built out from the
doorway of the Saylesvile postohice
prevents any passenger from stepping
on the soil of the millyard, and such
elaborate precautions are taken against
trespassing that photographer was re-
fused permission TO go ten feet inside
the miiiyard gates TO take a picture
OF the engine and the terminus.
The request was referred 10 one of the

cided that il would be a violation OF
precedent that could not be allowed.
