THE PAINTER'S PROTEST.
Our artist has here attempted to depict a little unrehearsed scene that occurred the other day in the office of an enterprising firm, who will before long probably rival the famous Dodson and Fogg in their practice. The painter had been engaged to renovate the firm's offices, and, having completed the job, applied for his money. Then he was presented with a serpentine bill of costs for consultations. Each of the partners had been in the habit of engaging him in conversation during the progress of the contract, of adroitly turning the talk to matters of law, and immediately afterwards making an entry in the diary of 63 Bd. The painter's present desire is to paint the occupants' optics as well as the premises.
