MR. EDWIN JAMUS'S PETITION FOR }
REINSTATEMENT,
It is not probable that any observations which we might offer cold affect the result of the petition which has been presented by Mr. Edwin Jainen to the Onmimod Tar Judges by way of appeal from the decision of the Beachers of the Inner Temple. But it is not to be cons cealed that M. Edwin James prutera very grave charges against the body who acted as a court of inquiry, and disbarred him. He dres not allego merely that they formed an inaccu- rato opinion, and arrived at a wrong conclusion, bat he mays that his judges were bis accusers, and that they took coguisance, of private mat- tors which were not in any way bronght before them. This is a subject (says the Law Times) All about, which no one can koow anything auve that the public requited to know wns the rency, dames and the Benchers, but it is deplora- maleourse of the lady; bow the Emperor bore ble that any tribunal having at their mercy the the sucressive operatione, the nature of whiab reputations and fortunes of some thodannda of everybody, anderstood perfectly well without specite description: whither le kept up his strength; whether the doctors were hopefal, and everything going on well; or whether the patient's coad.tion had taken a antaromable ture. All this might have been told without any violation of decency or decoram

professional men should be open to much fin putations. That this should be the case is not altogether the fault of Mr.James. The Beneitera of the Inns of Court would be the professional competitors of a member of the Bar bolding the rank of Queen's Counsel, and it is not desirable. that the question whether be should be profce. sionally extinguaned or not, should rest; in their judgment, subject to an appeal which is unlikely, as a rule, to be successful. The pro- feeston cannot fail to sympathize with the wisfor- tapes of una who in thɔ memory of the young- eat, was a brilliant, ortament of the Bur; and
Enfortunately several of the morning jour. nals have thought differently, These are days of close newspaper competition and eager guter pried, nad all is fiah that comes to their nose.
