It is by no means an easy thing U> ; bring a lawyer to book for professional misconduct or shortcomings, no nuittor . how muc^ injury ho may have caused U> j innocent and confiding persons. A case in illustration is presented by a recent | decision of tlio supremo court of the ; United States. A inun in Washington waited a loan of $3/>00, and through the intervention of a firm of brokers secured the money from the National savings bank of tho district of Columbia. The borrower gnve the bank his nrgptinble note, payable one your from date, and as collateral security a trust deed of real estate of which he represented himself to he the ownof. Tho bank require* I biin to employ a lawyer to make a search as to the title by which th? property

was held, aud an exj>ert gentleman of the legal profession accordingly made the examination and gave a certificate that everything was correct at the date of the loan. When tho note matured it was not paid, and thereupon the bank proposed to sell the premises covered by tho trust deed. Then it was discovered that tho debtor had transferred the property before borrowing the >3,500, and had given with it a deed j wnicii was oif record" wTieii the lawyermade his search. The bunk at once sued the lawyer for damages, and in course of time tho case went to the * supreme court. Hiat tribunal says the bank has no cause of action, because the lawyer was employed by the borrower and is responsible only to him. Five out of eight judges concur in that conclusion, one qf the three dissentient* being Chief Justice Waito, wh'O says in bis opinion that "if a luwyor, "employed to examine and certify to the "recorded title of real projnTty, gives ) "M* » c"**f**ieate ♦*-1 icn '• — ' M . ».

•4ciictiv .n noiiic laifHi i nnf "with another person as evidence of the "facts certified to, ho is liable to such "other pcroon relying on his certificate "far any loss resulting from his failure ,4to find on record a conveyance affecting "the title, which, by the use of ordinary "professional care and skill, he might "have found." Tills certainly seems to be a common-sense view of the matter, though no doubt merhbers of the legal profession generally will bo able to see the strongest possible objections to it. Laymen, however, are likely to inquire why lawyers should be less resjxmdble for professional negligence or malpractice than physicians and surgeons ; and there can hardly bb a satisfactory answer returned. It is clear that in tfio cane under consideration a positive wrong has been done/ The bank lent it*

$3,500 on the written assuranco of the lawyer that the security off bred whm unitn]>earhab]et when in fact It wns al»so- • Ititely worthless, and it was his business to know tho truth. His actual relation to the bank was that of nil endorser of the trust deed, nt?d he should have been held responsible accordingly. As mntters stwnd^tbe bank suffers n toUl lost of $3,500 and Interest, with costs of suit added, sobdy because that, lawyer not only failed to do his duty but falsely edified that he had done it. The docision of the supremo court in this case offeie direct encouragement for remissness on the part of member* of the bar in tho discharge of functions entrusted to them. In this Instance, of course, the person who profited by the neglect of tlie lawyer would be the last to sue the delinquent, and, indeed, wr© do not see how an action of that sort could be mod o to He, insomuch as tho plaintiff could not allege damages, having received only benefit* How easy ft would he for a dishonest borrower and an equally dishonest lawyer to realise handsome profits under this deemion of the supreme court.

When you have freed j your mind from tho fear of a God, and - from the childish respect for the fiction j of Righl? then all the re maining chains > which bind you, and which ure called. I science, civilization, property, marriage, I morality and justice, will snup asunder like threads. Our first work must be the detraction and annihilation of everything as it now exist*. You must accustom yourselves to destroy every Uiing, tho good with the ted; for if but an atom of this old world remains, the new will nevor be created." Here is a strange jumble of errors. The nihilist* would annihilate all existing forms, law*, government, property rights and order* of society. Bedlam turned

loose could devise no more outrageous plan for tho reformation of the world. Because the government is oppressive, why take from every land owner and peasant of Russia, his land, his home, his property, why dissolvo marriage, destroy churches, sweep all laws out of existence, and invite tho devil of chaos to take possession?
