There was a goodly audience at the Csledonian Club Hall last night

liecture on "Some Legal .E"ro_blems." ‘The lecturer treated the subject in

wi-tlh effect. Mr. D. J. MacDonald oc- cupied the chair. At the conclusion oi‘ the lecture

onded by Mr, (l. N, Trlcolie and Fred J. Nash and ex-Mayor McKetina.

The following was the address of the lecturer:

some ‘LE-GAL PROBLEMS

The law is one of the most an- cient of the professions and. spite 0-1 the amount of abuse often ‘heaped upon its members, one oi’ the moat honourable. The law and the prophets have always been mentioned together. The iClergy- (men are, therefore, the only class that can be compared with the

legal profession. The ‘Medical ‘Pro- fession. although how of great im- portance and benefit, is really only in its infancy wheircompared Iwith the law. The prosperous Bentle- inen who now make up the medical profession are merely the scientific

‘coo-seer, o! the ancient blood- ‘letters. Formerly this Job was

done by the harbors, hence the |_red and white stripes that make

up ilic barltlfs sign. lBut now the ‘barber-like poor iShylockfmust

take not one drop of ‘blood.

E i'l‘lie practise of the law requires |the utmost exactness. ‘if a laiwyer

makes a mistake ‘there is always a iCouri. oi‘ Appeal and his error is exposed. lf a‘ doctor makes a niis- také. i.lie patient dies, and "dead men toll no tales." The undertaker covers up ‘the doctor's mistakes while the Court of Appeal exposes the lawyer's mistakes.

‘Many stories are told at the expense oi’ the lawyers niiti the lawyers themselves enjoy them as iiiiich as anybody else. Lawyers are supposed to develop a faculty for asking questions and are some- Itlmes credited with doing so when lthcy should simply obey orders. They halve even been accused o carrying this hlblt into their mili- tary training. A story is told about a company of lawyers who were being drilled. They seemed to be getting along very well , when suddenly the drill-sergeant gave the command ‘flight: about face"; every man in. the company stood still and asked ".Wliy?"

Another story-iii told about the Devil's .lnvliiclbles,, a volunteer corps. most of the memibers of which were Attorneys. Lia-Col. Cox. Master in Chancery, was in com- mand.
