Before negotiating with a merchant, before engaging with a confidential clerk j before employmg a barrister, a careful man makes enquire as their standing, their length of occupancy or residence j and, in the case of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities of transacting the individual business he consults him upon.
