originated in the Upper House, and for once Salomeno, QC, and ex-Judge Manding, who usually disagree about everything on princíplo, have joined forces to overthrow this democratic , measure. There has been so much "law" lately that everybody knows the difference between the two branches of the legal p.ofession. In con- ducting a case it is the duty of the attorney to ace the witnesses, collect and sift their evidence, take down their statements and, tanke out a written précis of the case, called a brief, which he hands to the barrister; the latter conducts the case in court, examines and cross-examines witnesses, addresses the jury, and argues any points of law that may arise. The client has to pay both these parties,

He was told that it w taken by the enemy, but as the matter had neve been mentioned, not even by the Austrians, who would naturally have been proud of such a trophy, the general called the officers of the Forty-fourth together, and begged them to keep perfect silence as to their loss, and the first time they found themselves within the reach of an enemy's flag to revenge themselves by taking it. When Austria agreed to the convention of the Red Cross the Italian military doctors were set free, and one of them came to General di Revel and informed him of what had been done with their flag by the group of afficers of the Forty- fourth, The General recommended silence, and Bis with was respected. On October gib, when Di Revel went to Verona, a merchant of that city was presented to him, and in secret consigned to him the spear-point of the missing flag, which had been found in the villa of Signora Rose Fains, and by her jealously preserved in order to be restored to the Italian army. One can imagine the gratitude of the General. He reported the affair to the Minister of War, begging him to provide

་ན flagstaff. This was done, and when peace was concluded and the prisoners of war returned home, the officers of the Forty-fourth consigned to the General the several pieces of their lay. They were sewed together by three work-women in the presence of two officers of the company, and attached to the staff and spear-point, whole proceeding

and an account of the saving of the flig added. On October 25th the Forty fourth Regiment, was drawn up in the square of St. Mark, and in front stood Lieutenant Libretti bearing the recovered flag. The guardia voi was sounded, and General de Revel expressed bh pleasure at being able to restore to the assembled regiment the actu 1 flag, slaleed with the blood of the handful of heroes who had so valiantly preserved it from the enemy. One piece only, he concluded, 'la missing, and that lies in the heart of the brave man who carried it with him to the tomb A storm of applause burst from the regiment and the spectators; then, while the men presented arms, the General kissed the flag and gave it to Lieutenant-Colonel Zarni, the comma der of the regiment, who also kissed it and then resigned it to Lieutenant Libretti, who, bearing aloft the glorious banner, accompanied Ga eral di Revel along the front of the regiment amid renewed acclamations. The General speaks of this incident as one of the most moving in bis military career.

choose to do so. And against this very reasonable written down, witnessed to and slant being Wharf, and is newly built after the designs of the Largest European Hotels-the BEDROOMS, | September..

The original practice in New South Wales was to make no atbiúrary division between legal prac titioners. If a client chose to do so, he could have one man conduct his case right through, The same man that saw the witnesses, and took their statements, and knew the whole details of the case, and with whom the client had personally talked the matter over, could, if the client so chose, cordlet it in the court. But that sort of thing did not suit the Judges of later times. They wanted to follow England, to create a "Bar" with. all its privileges, and is exclusiveness; so the Judges, not the people nor the legislature, mind you, but the Judge, under some real or fancied power given by the Act enabling them to make rules for the conduct of business in court, made a rule that from and after a certain time all cases, big or little, must be conducted by a man with a horsehair wig, instruc rd by another without any wie, and that the public must, whether they like it or not, employ two men to do the work of one. They altered the o'd practice and introduced a novelty for which the public had to pay the piper, So that the present Bill is really an attempt to return to the old order of things, and not an innovation in any way. The Blit simply asks that the public shall be allowed to employ one man right through a case, if they, the public,

request, what arguments do the opponents of the Bill put forward ? Mairly this-that the functions of barrister and attorney are so different that no one man can properly attend to both duties in working up a case. But this argument only applies to large cases. Where there are many witnesses to see, many documents to peruse, and a lot of nints of law to work up, it li no doubt to the client's own interest to employ two men to manage the case. But surely this should be It to the client's own 'discretion, and the employment of two men where be only wishes to employ one should not be forced upon bim by the court. It will be to his own loss if the attorney mismanages the case. We repeat that It is only in large cues that any necessity for the emblayment of two men exists. There are hundreds of mere debt actions tried every year which any intelligent laman could conduct after httle experience, tut the bartister must have his fee in these cases just as in the large ones. In cases where a defence is entered solely to gain time, the plaintiff bas to add a barrister's fee to the debt which he is striving to collect, and which he wi 1 in all probability never recover. The costs of the simpler actions are thereby enormously increased, and law and justice are made expensive luxuries to the public.

ແ No good asking him that, he doesn't under- stand you." And then he would put to the witness the pith of the question himself in about five words. Or, if a barrister repeated himself→→ thus, "You said-that-before-no-good-saying-it- again," he would bring him up with equal celerity, If an irrelevant question was asked he would blurt out, "Nathing to do with the case, can't ask him that." Cases tried before him wore never delayed; but, now-a-days, having some miserably weak inen on the Bench, the leading Shanghai barristers simply run riot over them, waste time (whereby they earn "refreshers"), Insult the Judge, quarrel fiercely with each other, and spin a case out over days and days. The remedy for delay is in the Judge's hands, and several cases lately tried in Sydney have been notoriously spun out through the Judge not keeping control of the phon counsel. Without being on the spot we can only hazard a guess, but we think that if any prompt and decisive official were heating the Premier Permanent Building Society prosecution' it would have been over long ago.

The two main arguments against amalgama- tion are thus disposed of There are a host of detail arguments which are of amazingimportance in the eyes of the profession-for instance, whether advocicy fee should betaxable, whether Tokyo the advocate should be responsible to the client if hagl cted a case, and so forth. There is no difficulty whatever in dealing with these details. Make your lawver one man, responsible for everything he d es or omits to do j' make all his charges taxable; and if you think the necessities of the case demand it, and you have money enough, employ 'two men-one to work up the case and one to conduct it. Even if the amalgamation had no effect in cheapening big cases, it would certainly cheapen small ones; and even in big cases a man would very likely prefer to have his case conducted by the man who had an intimate knowledge of it from the start.

SAVING THE-FLAG.

A THRILLING EPISODE FROM THE ‚AÚŠTO-ITAL- IAN WAR

The "Reminiscences of General al Revel" contain the following stirring account of the saving of the flag: During the Italo-Austrian war 1859, on the 24th of June, part of the Forty-fourth Italian Infantry, consisting of a group of about ten officers and twenty-five men, got separated from their regiment during a surprise, and being hard pressed by the Austrians, entered a villa called Fenile, near Altares, and prepared for an obstinate defense. They had with them the flag of the regiment, and the oldest officer present, Captain Baroncellit, took the command, After the Austrians had been repeatedly repulsed, they sei fire to some heaps of straw, hay, and other, in damm ble material kept in the garets of the villa. The Italians, half suffocated by the smoke, and seeing that it would be impossible to defend themselves much longer, determined to save their leg before surrendering. They stripped the bun ing from its staff and tore it into small
