Origin of the Roman Bar

The Roman bar, writes S. P. Scott in
Cease and Comment" deduced it's ori-
gin from the intimate association of
patron and client in the days of the
republic. This relation, founded upon
mutual support and assistance, bore a
considerable resemblance to that of
lord and vassal during the Middle Ages,
without, however, including the op-
pressive restrictions imposed upon
the latter by the laws of feudalism.
Among the many duties required of the
patron was that of transacting the legal
business of his clients and appearing
for them in court. This service was at

I'm view of the provisions of inter

not in accordance with neutrality if a
neutral government were to forbid its
shipowners to allow their ships to sail
