Mr Broughams view of the matter presumption is in some
one or other of the four modes spoken of by Aristotelians
He prop of one Attorney: in such sort that in
every press is poor, and every poll pretty i e every
Attorney is presumptuous. Accordingly presumption
in a presumptuous fit he catches his Attorney in §.22
and in the like fit in §.36. In §.22 he beholds then an
Attorney presuming "to charge his client with any sum
"critical to be paid by himself under the authority of this
"Act." and again presuming "he p, desiring his suspension."
In §.36 what he catches the Attorney in presuming to
do is "taking more by way of fees for work done by him than
"those according to the Table" contained in the Schedule

Solicitors yes in
plenty — but of Solicitors nothing is said in this Act
This consolation applies to both these appalling Sections.

2. Consolation the second.
2. Then in §.36. severe as is the prohibition applied in regard
to excess in that which is "taken ... by way of fees, it
extends not to any money taken by way of gratuities:
