LAWYERS’ SQAUBBLES.
To the Editor. Sir, — In your report of a case heard yesterday at the R, M. Court, you men - tion that Mr Wilding insinuated that I was not in a proper state to conduct the case for the plaintiff, f t whom I appeared. Hia insinuation was intended to do me an injury; but I think that the following argument put logically will somewhat alter matters, and by no means in Mr Wilding's favor. If I was (as alleged) unfit to conduct my ohent’a oaae, then, aa I succeeded in winning it, not withstanding the gigantic intellect opposed to me specially imported from Christchurch, in what state must that gigantic Christchurch intellect have been ? Answer: Conditio i deplorable ! 1 am, etc, C. D. Branson. [We certainly noticed nothing in Mr Branson’s appearance to justify the insinuation thrown oat by Mr Wilding. “ Adversar es in law,” we are told, <( strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends ” It would be Well if some members of the profession would “strive” with a little more decency, and allow the public to see something of the friendly relations alleged to pervade their social intercourse.—Ed. G ]
