and in the like fit in §.36. In §.22 he beholds then an
Attorney presuming "to change his with any
"critical to be point by himself made to authority of this
"Act." and again presuming "he preaches, 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
