to say that he did not approve of the
American system Of allowing litigant

that he preferred the system in
vogue in France where in cases re-

the court selects the expert and his
fees are paid at the direction Of the
court: and he went on 10 say that
he had made it u rule of his life not
to testify as an expert in any case
