Evidence Scotch Reform

it, now as to the means of conciliation.

I have hitherto considered the man of law in a state of
unity. Looking On a closer inspection we may distinguish
in him two instances of the professional official and the offici professional.
At present they may say in the Eastern stile of complimentary
amity, and wth much more a sincerity not altogether so liable to exception,
there is no distinction between us. Official lawyer and professional
lawyer both are partners and friends to each other, are both
enemies to the suitor. Looking a little further we may descry a total difference. The difference is – the the official lawyer
though a pious man is not an incurable and is the not ian the irreconcilable enemy: that of the professional lawyer
is.

Whatever The official lawyer, whatever he receives now in a
compound shape, part salary and part fees, he may receive be made
wholly in the shape of salary without fees: what the professional
lawyer whatever he receives he can never receive
in any other shape than that of fees. Compensation, the sum that
which the humanity of our own age and nation
never fails to pour into the which can never fail to be
made by the hand of Reform, compensation finds the prof hand of the
official lawyer compleatly susceptible, the open to it, that of the offic professional lawyer
is compleatly unsusceptible stand against it.
