BRIEFLESS BARRISTERS.
The legal profession at Home is experiencing hard times. Judge Edge complained recently that there were a great many well-qualified solicitors, and many well-qualified barristers, who were not earning so much as bricklayers, and enquiries made by a London journalist showed that these remarks were regarded in legal circles as not at all exaggerated. One is apt to be misled 'by the huge earnings of a few barristers, as to the prosperity of the rank and file. Mr Rufus Isaacs gets his £I,OOO a case, but Mr Briefless Bometimes finds that in his year's work he is something to the bad. The present Attorney • General is credited with having worked out the average annual bal-ance-sheet of the Bar, and found that there was a debit balance of £7B.
