Strong muscles insure strong nerves, an elastic step and a, tranquil mind. The poorest figures may be made upright, supple, and rounded by their cultivation. But it is not the work of a day, nor of a mouth. Whatever is most worth doing generally takes a long time to do. Spasmodic effort is of no more ure in physical education then It is in the education of the mind.

A year ago a young girl, who had the far too common defects of a thin chest and pipe-stem arms, determined to develop these parts of her body. Today her shoulders are well rounded in front instead of behind, and her arms are vastly improved in shape and sizz. This result has been attained by the regular practice of a single exercise. With a dumbbell in each hand, head thrown back till the eyes are fixed upon the ceing, and elbows bent, she works her shoulders first down, then forward, then up their back, repeating until fatigued.

The merit of this plan, according to the doctor, is that it is painless. Strangling, it seems, involves no'suffering. A man who dies by strangulation first feels great heat in the head, then sees, bright objects dance before his eyes, tears sounds, either musical or roaring, feels his feet unusually heavy and then relapses into insensibility. The doctor declares that at no point in the operation does the patient suffer pain.

I say it might be possible that on investigation there may appear a small amount unaccounted for, and this is what Mrs Benjamin-is-looking-forward-to- taching; yet this the cou. cannot attach, as it is unascertained balance, and Mrs. Benjamin is only a judgment creditor, and therefore_ennuot set up a claim which the judgment debtor never But sell, and it is necessary that he should have done, something himself in order that he might have a claim. And this, he never d All Mrs. Henjamin can hold is a possible right of action for a positive debt, either owing nccruing, and here there is no sum to be attached. Your lordship will note this paint, for it is clear that these proceedings cannot ge Bn when there is no actual debt. The second point I wish to speak of is the question whether the "Solicitors and Attorneys" Acts" apply out here in Shanghai.

Mr. Wilkinson raised the question whether this was relevant, more especially as Mr. Wainewright bad stated in his opening that he relied on them, and his lordship concurred.

Mr. Wainewright asked if he could not raise the point, whether he were to rely on it or not. His lordship inquired what point would be raised?

His lordship-But solicitors have had their bills taxed in Shanghai

i

Mr. Wainewright-I said probably that I did not expect to get anything if I did not win the case, but it was on the ground of Mr. Benjamin's poverty, that he was too pour to pay anything, and at that I agreed to take nothing if I did not get the case, even if he ever got rich enough to pay it. (Sonic-time was occupied by his lordship in looking over his notes, and Mr. Wilkinson the newspaper reports, but his lord- ship did not find the statement refered to by bfr. Wilkinson in hus tintes.

Of course, a man can rely on the custom there was no suit impending there was of charging fly to for an interview, but there is stipulation as to the suit.

Again in the question of occasions.

champerty. I did nothing at all to promote litigation, in fast stopped it. Other cases were cited but not read by Mr. Wainewright, bui the case of Knight & Boyer :6L J. C, 760 was gone into somewhat. This was an annuity case. Decision was read that in a suit a client alone can, object to the costs. A third party. cannot objet. Hence in the case here, it the agreement were set aside, it must be set aside by Mr. Benjamin himself and not by his creditor. All I can say here is, that there is no ground whatever on which champerty can be imputed to me.

Mr. Wilkinson here read the statement made looking for, and which was to the effect.that Mr. Wainewright did not expect to get anything if he did not gain the case against Sassoons.

Mr. Wainewright-That differs greatly in sense from the construction it was intended to put on it.

Mr. Wainewright-I am aware of it, my lord, for I myself have bad one bill taxed, but this does not make a scale of charges, and I think your lordship has had experience, and you know how difficult would be to sit down and tax a bill of costs here. Hence I say that there is no regular charge in Shanghai. Even if this matter be decided against me, I can go back to the line pursued by the other side, and rely on technical points. I followed the argument of Mr. Wilkin- son closely, and yet I failed to ice how the cases he cited applied to this. He cited reas contained in the reports, which he had been Lewis, 13, Chan Div., 573, and Russell, Son and Scott, 30, C. D, p. 114. In the case re. Lewis, the agreement was signed by the solicitor alone, and it was held that it was not an agreement in writing on the basis of the Attorney and Solicitors Act of 1870., Lord Justica Coleridge there says "the agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties," and as the solicitor only signed it the claim was made that if allowed the solicitor could sign an agreement and make the client pay it, it being taken for granted that the solicitor would not make the client pay too little, but rather the contrary. As to Russell, Son & Scott,, 30, C.D.: in this case there was only a verbal agreement by the client, and the question was whether it was binding and not subject to revision. There is another case, however, that of Bewley and Atkinson, 13, C.D., p. 299. Here the case re Lewis is discussed, and it comes under the head of consent and agreement. Lord Justice Thesiger decided that the agreement signed by the interested party to the contract was valid, and the client here signed it, and this is a very sensible commentary on the case of re Lewis. -------

His lordship-Who decided this case? Mr. Wainewright-It was decided in the full Court of Appeal; the Judges were Lord Justices Jamca, Begerly, and Thesiger.

His Lordship-What particular judge rendered the decision ? Lord Justice Thesiger.

the Act of Mr. Wainewright We can look 1881, which whether it applies here or not, does apply to a large class of business of like nature. It says the agreement shall be in writing, and shall be signed by the person or his agent interested in, the case. It is sufficient if signed Ly

the client, the person interested in the matter, and this is another strong commentary on the case re Lewis. I submit that the agreement of October 19th, which cites a previous verbal agreement entered ints, is tantamount to an Agreement signed by both parties, for all moral purposes at least, if not legal ones. I also submit that the more technical grounds are not to be prossed. I now refer to Jennings and Johnson, Reports, 8, Com. Pleas, p. 475, where an Law agreement between the attorney and client, where the former agreed not to take anything put of the damages if obtained, and charge nothing if nothing obtained the attorney claimed to deduct £45 out of the foo obtained. Here the agreement was deniedrig

|

understand that you His lordship-Am 1-to desire a clause to be read in the agreement that is not there?

Mr, Wainewright -No, my lord, but simply to note that there is nothing in the agreement that precludes my sending in a bill of costs if Mr. Benjamin should ever be able to pay it. There te nothing there to prevent it, and it may be inferred if it is not stated. In this case Mr. Wilkinson has cited cares where the bill of costs were taxed there is no parallel here

Mr. Wilkinson-My point is that Mr. Waine- wright received the sum of 8. 45,070, for which he must account, less such ums as are proved, and to account for them beshuat send in a bill of costs.

Mr. Wainewright-But Mrs. Ben) min has no right to call me to account for it. Mr. Wilkinson has cited eases reopening taxation, which are all thoroughly distinguishable from the present case. There is not one case where the third party comes in and demands to have the bill of costs fixed. In fact it is all the other way. Only such bills are referred to laxatlon as are mentioned in 6 & 7 Vic. Ch. 73. Sec. 37, and this is not the case here. Shanghai Mercury (To be continued)

(Passing through the INLAND SEA,)

Rumors of war upon the present waiter and gentleman "dress" coat have been frequent for some time, and ever since Oscar Wilde made his famous attempt to introduce catheticism into men's dress, his example has been followed in a desultory way by those anxious for reform. Ambit- ious tailors have occasionally constructed suits with knee-breeches, and of plum color or blue,THE Company's Steamship whose adoption they have advocated, but suck innovations have not met with any success, and the "customary suits of solemn black" have held their own without even a semblance of rivalry.

Now, however, come reports from Paris that slight breach has been made in the walls of prescription which have so long hedged men's dress about. Last fall a society of Parisian tailors did what many tailors have done before --gave their ideas of what is pleasing and artistic in dress an actual embodiment. Unlike other similar essays, however, their ideas did. not die in the tailors' shops, but obtained some currency with those who could alone give them real life-the actual wearers of clothes; and at n wor these

revised and amended dress-suits were worn.

This attempt to revive picturesque and pleasing costumes for men appears to have been some what more earnest and to have met with more success than preceding attempts in the same direction; and, while it has not yet obtained a foothold firm enough to form a fashion, it has at last won some recoguition, and has brought the manifold. possibilities of picturesque "effect, harmony of color and grace of form in men's garmenis directly before the public by practical examples.

We are indebted to a French journal, Le Guide de la Mods, for a plate illustrating costumes actually worn at a ball in Paris last winter,

In this new costume the shape of the present dress-coat is modified into that familiarly known years ago as the "shad belly"; that is, the front slopes into the skirts without the present notch over the hips, which makes a hard, ungraceful line. Kuce breeches and silk stockings take the place of trousers, and the waist-coat differs only in minor details on that now in yogue. The main innovation, aside from the knee-breeches, is in the free use of color, the nchness and yariety of material used and the employment of As the twig is bent the trees inclined as the ornamental accessories in shirt and waist-coat.
