To Mr. HICKY
S I R,

J REQUEST you will be ft kind as to
X in fere, this in your next paper, if you
think it Worthy of a place as it may be of
ufe to Officers hereafter.— Amongft the
other plans tor railing money it appears
that it's time to fall on fome method of
failing fome for the army out of the pro-
vinces, or probable fome bad confequen-
ces may proceed, for want of even com-
mon ne cellar es of life which at prefent we
are deftitute off (and as the proverb juftiv
ohfcrves ftaryjng in the mid ft of plenty)
we daily" hear of the Luc know & of the
Treafury being full ; while we are going
o:i tour months in arrears and fome

Man there ; who no doubt after helping

talks:of going home the firjl convenient
opportunity) its well known Mr. S——y

nrwone lick and twenty five thoufand
Rupees which I fear is loft in a Storm,
this Money if it had been made ufe of for

reafon, our protedors confer their inte-

he may be in a Contrad with our Pay-

Character of a good Lawyer
O UGH a one muff be a man ot
kjF virtue and the ftri&sft probity,
with an equitable heart as vviM as a
reafo'ning h-'d, that thinks nothing
profitable that is not honed, who is
perfedly convcrfmt in the municipal
laws of bis own Country, as well as
the univenal principils of naturil
juftice, who makes the practice of
the Law, a noble, and libera! prof-
effion. not a groveling, mercenary
trade, who exerts all the generous
powers and faculties of his Soul in the
ever honoured cauie of truth ; but
when he difcovers the leait intended
inlpolition, the kail fraud, falfe-
hood, or chicanery, deteils the not-
ion, that it is his duty to employ his
fkfll and his Eloquence in defence of;
wickednefs, and to ferve his Client
be he right or wrong. In points of
nic:tyand doubt, he will advance
with modc-fty and candour, every
argument that his learning and

inflame the '"pafiions of the parlies,
and he will never be averfe to the re-
commending peace upon reafonabie
and equitable terms, as his experience
and observation will convince, him
of the fall.b lity of the ablcft men's
cpinions in matters of cLbt and
difficulty. In fhort to be a good
Lawyer, he muff, be, not only be
a man of extenfive knowLdgeanddeep
learning, but what is far more enffen-
tial, he muff be a man of honour, of
truth, and of the flricleft virtue ; or
rallier hemufl: be born with a bene-
ficent and humane heart. Such, there
is the gfeafteft reafon to believe.
