BAR'S PARLOUS DAYS. GLITTERING PRIZES FOR THE FEW.
A Barrister-at-Law writes in the Weekly Despatch :----
Thirty thousand a year! That was Lord Birkenhead's estimate of the juconie he would earn if he could return to prac. tise at the Bar. It must be a mest galling thought to a comparatively young man who is forged to keep his living ex penses within the confines of the £5,000 pension paid to an ex-Lord Chancellor. This is if anything, an under-estimmte, for he would probably have the offer of a brief nearly every action in which any considerable sum of money of per- soual reputation was at stake, And with the exception of Sir John Sion there is no one of his calibre practising at the Common Law side today.
But because Lord Birkenhead could earn such a huge professional income it must not be assumed that there is easy money or money in plenty for others. In fact, the strongest Trade Union in the world-the Bar has to-day a larger percentage of unemployed than any other union.
QUARRELSOME, BUT CAUTIOC's.
These are indeed parlous days in the Temple. There may be little tranquillity! in foreign affairs, but at home it appears to be firmly enthroced. Somehow or other people will not fight it out nowa days. To judge by what took place t some public meetings held recently there is no evidence that our race is becoming less prone to quarrel: Indeed, writs arc as numerous as they were at any time. But few of the issues come to trial-one side or the other throws in his hand be fore the stage arrives when solicitors have to deliver briels. It would seem that an action the High Court is now. a-days much too expensivo a juxury for all except the wealthy corporations.
If we leave, out undefended divorce suits. the taxed costs of few actions in the High Court amount to less than £150, and over and above these are the solicitor and client costs, fashionable leaders are retained and the case rups over the first day the total costs of both sides are likely to be in the neighbour fhood of £1,000. If Mr. Winston Chur- chill were paying the costs of the prosecu tion at the Old Bailey i would take a"large slice of the £15,000 he admits he has received from the publishers of his book.
ATILL CROWDING IN.
It is all very depressing, and the spatted feet of the juniors (and, it may be whispered, not a few silks) drag more more and more as each day they pass to their silent chambers.
There is little doubt that the Bar is to-day the most overcrowded of all pro fessions, and it is no exaggeration to "say that not one in ten of practising harristers in Great Britain is supporting himself by the income he derives from his profession. And yet, the numbers who eurol themselves as students grow and grow.
Of course, a large proportion, perhaps. half, of those who read for the Bar do not intend to practise: the Bar to them is only a stepping store to something else. Thackeray in Pendennis gave à description of the men who dined in "Thero Middle Temple Hall in his time: were gentlemen of all ages, attorneys who were proceeding to take from 60 to 17; stout, grey-headed the superior dignity-dandies and men about town who wished for some reason to be barristera of seven years' standing-swarthy, black- eyed natives of the Colosies, who came to be called here. before practising in their own islands and many gentlemen of the Irish zation, who make a sojourn in Middle Temple-lane before they return to the green land of their birth."
LUCKY HANDFUL
Somewhat the same is the condition of affairs to-day. But, allowing for those who come and pass away again when qualified to follow the profession of the Jaw, each year there are hundreds of young and ambitious men, some with private means and some without, who for a few years try to keep afloat in the stream that runs to the Cabinet, and the Bench. But those who are carried. forward by theream are few. Cham bers in the Teale bave housed many tragedies of blighted lives of young men of brilliant attainments, but the inti mate facts of these tragedies are only told in Hall when the Ancients gossip over their extra bottle of part.
like
Thei
And there are tragedies being played to-day. Hundreds of young men, ard many middle-aged too, are hanging on in the hope that the tide will turn their way. It is a great hope, for if success comes it comes to the barrister more quickly than to the members of an other profession. Solicitors are sheep. Let one or two good firms brief FL man and the rest quickly follow, result is that all the work is divided In two or among a handful of men. three years a professional income may grow from £50 a year to £5,000. But while he waits the young barrister stints himself so that it often happens when the tide does turn his way his "physique cannot pay the tell that a big practice at the Bar demands.
BRAINE-POOH!
Mr. J. A. Strahan, in his Bench and "" I'
Bar, tells a story bearing on this point: happared. to meet an ancient barrister at mess in Middle Temple Hall when I was keeping my first term. He, with the reverence due, to youth,, was pointing out to me the way I should go if I wanted to arrive at the Woolsack. I chanced to say something about brains. 'Brains' exclaimed the old gentleman in amazement. Brains be blowed !It isn't brains, my lad, that brings success at the Bar it is well, shall we stomach !'"
Bay',
It is possible the ancient one was using the phrase in the same sense as did good Queen Bess when she told bor troops at Tilbury that she had the stomach of a king.
The moral is, no young man should waste his time in being called to the Bar unless he has a private income of is able to earn a living in another voca tion. The only sure way to carr £200 a year at the Bar is by giving it up.
