LONDON, JULY 5, 1851.

EVERY suggestion that comes from a lawyer is, as a matter of course, attributed to self-interest, if it happens that it is a suggestion of something which does or may contribute to the advantage of the Profession; it being always assumed that the interests of lawyers and those of the public are opposite. The Attorney-General has suggested in Parliament, that in the county courts, in causes between 207. and 50%., the Bar and attornies shall have the same privileges that they have in the superior courts. The result of which will be, simply that suitors may employ an attorney to do those things which are requisite to bring a case into court, and may either be their own advocates in court, or, through their attornies, employ a barrister for that portion of the case. In other words, it will prevent them from employing attornies as advocates. The question is not free from difficulty; but the difficulty of concluding that barristers and attornies ought not to have the same relative privileges and positions in county courts that they have in the superior courts, is at least as great as the difficulty of concluding that they ought. At any rate, if the pre-audience of the Bar is to be abolished in courts which do absorb a large portion of the common-law business of the country, and will absorb more, some rules for the government of their own body must be adopted by the common-law Bar, very different from those at present adopted.

We are far from being convinced that the suggestion made in an influential paper, that the Bar should rescind the rule of etiquette which forbids them to see a client directly, is not sound. That rule is a rule of etiquette, but it is also a rule intended and operating for the convenience of all parties, so long as the privileges of all parties are what they now are. If the barrister has pre-audience, if his exclusive or principal business is to be that of an advocate, it becomes necessary for him to qualify himself for its discharge, by applying his whole time to the perusal and argumentation of his cases; and it is convenient that, before the cases come into his hands, they should be well sifted and prepared VOL. XV.

Ꮓ

by others. On the other hand, it is convenient that those who make it their business to prepare cases for court, should attend to that business exclusively; and if that division of labour, for it is no more, does conduce to the efficient despatch of business-if the business of conducting causes can be conveniently divided into two classes, to one of which one set of men attend specially, and to the other another class of men, then it is convenient that they should, by mutual regulations, abstain from meddling with the avocations of each other-a meddling from which only confusion and uncertainty would arise.

The rule of etiquette is the consequence, not the cause, of the classification, and is, in the superior courts, a rule as much for the interest and convenience of the public as for both branches of the Profession. But cessante ratio cessat lex. If for any reason, in any kind of court, it is not for the convenience of the suitors that business should be classified-if it is not for their convenience that they should be compelled to conduct their cases in court through the agency of men of a particular class, then of course, since courts are made for suitors and not for the Profession, they must have their way.

But, then, justice must not be one-sided, nor free trade a practical protection. If the public is to be practically free to choose its own forensic servants, it ought not to be practically confined to attornies for advocates, by a rule which excludes barristers from seeing clients, any more than it should be confined to barristers, by a rule which excludes attornies from acting as advocates. For if it be inconvenient that the suitor should be prevented from saving the expense of a barrister's brief and fee, if he wishes to be economical, it must be just as inconvenient that he should not be enabled to have a barrister for an advocate without the expense of an intervening attorney. That is to say, he may like Mr. A., an attorney, best, to get up his case, and he may like Mr. B., a barrister, best, to speak upon it. Why, if his interest is, as every one admits it ought to be, the rule-why is he to be obliged to go without Mr. B., by reason of an etiquette, adopted for
