A Japanese lawyer in Court.
Judges Allison and Biddle, of Philadelphia, had the pleasure the other day of having introduced to them Barrister B. Massugema, a Japanese of high rank, who had been sent to Europe by his government to study and was admitted to the bar in England. He was about five feet two inches in height, but had an uncommonly large head and a high, broad forehead. He wore gold eye-glasses and had his thick, straight hair cut in a style approaching the bang. He was ceremonious in 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 Pacific. He said that he intends to practice law afc home and added that he had certain improvements in legal forms to suggest to his government.
