A Japanese Lawyer m Court.
Judges Allison and Biddle, of Philadelphia, had the pleasure the other day of having introduced to them Barrister X Massugema, a Japanese of high rank, who had been sent to Europe by his government to study and was admitted to the bar m England. He was about five feet two inches m height, but had an uncommonly large head and a high, broad forehead. He wore gold eye-glasses aad had his thick, straight hair cut m a style approaching the bang. He was ceremonious m all his actions. He spoke English almost without accent. He said he had gone to Europe by way of the Suez Canal and is now on his way home by way of the United States and the Paoific. He said that ho intends to practice law at home and added that he had certain improvements m legal forms to suggest to his government.
