Sir EDWARD MARSHALL HALL.

by EDWARD MARJORIBANKS. $ 18-50.

"FOR THE DEFENCE," by Edward Marjoribanks, M. P. is not only an unusally full picture of the life of a great lawyer; it is also a record of many celebrated criminal cases. Marshall Hall's genius for cross-examination, his quickness in seizing a Baw in the prosecutor's se, his histrionic power, and the talent he had for auddenly produc ing, as if by a conjuror's trick, a new bit of evidence-all these qualities- come out in clear relief in the sensational trial scenes reproduced here. For 30 years he was to be found fighting in the thick of every cause celebre.
