(Questions at tfje Uramtnatton for attorneys.
HHny Term, ISIS.
Having met with these questions in tlie columns of our useful and
respectable contemporary the Leyal Observer, we have taken the liberty
of transcribing some of them and placing them in the hands of our
learned friend Mr. Briefless, for the purpose of getting answers put
to them. He has dashed off, with his usual combinalion of brilliancy
and research, the following responses, which, in the language of a
theatrical tag, we hope "all our kynde young friends " will not fail to
take a lessson from.
L—Preliminary.
Q. Where did you serve your clerkship ?
A. Partly at Mr. Graball's, in Clifford's Inn, partly at the Casino,
partly in Cremorne Gardens, &c, &c. {as the case may be).
Q. Mention some of the law-books which you have read and studied.
A. The Comic Blaclcstone, the Late of Kindness, the Laws of Cricket,
the comic song of L—A— W law, Sec, &c.
II.—Common and Statute Law, and Practice of tlie Courts.
Q. What do you understand by the words, Common Law ?
A. I understand it to be that sort of Law which is so very common
as to make it difficult to be kept out of.
Q. Hew long does a writ of summons remain in force—how may it
be continued—and on what days and at what hours can it be served ?
A. It remains in force until the would-be server is himself served
out, and induced, either by persuasion or the pump, to abandon his
mission. It may be continued as long as the plaintiff likes to go on
paying for more, when the first has proved ineffectual. The days and
hours when it may be served are immaterial, until the requisition,
' First catch your man," is complied with.
Q. Explain an appearance according to the statute.
A. When a man is reduced to beggary by the law, and has become
so seedy that he is ashamed to be seen, his plight may be called an
appearance according to the statute.
Q. How is a distress made for rent ?
A. By adding to the distress of the parties who cannot pay their
rent, by augmenting their family expenses with the cost of a man in
possession.
Q. What is an attachment ?
A. The affectionate grasp with which an attorney fastens upon the
pocket of his client.
III.—Conveyancing.
Q. What is equity of redemption ?
A The^privilege of taking a hat out of pledge, or rescuing your
mother's flat-iron from the custody of your uncle.
Q. How are copyhold estates usually alienated?
A. By being melted away in litigation, and falling into the hands of
the lawyers.
Q. How is an estate in coparcencry created ? and what persons are
usually coparceners ?
A. An estate in coparcenery is created when four friends enter a
coffee-house and call for one cup of coffee with four saucers, when the
coffee at once becomes an estate in coparcenery. Some authorities
have held that two clergymen officiating in the same parish are co-
parcen-ers. (Oh!)
Q. A. conveys by bargain and sale a fee-simple estate to B. and Ins
heirs to the use of C. and his heirs. What estates, legal or equitable,
do B. and C. respectively take ?
A. What they can get after the lawyers have done with the property.
The old rule is/that the former take each a shell, and the latter the
oyster.
GALLIPOT COMPANIONS.
At a festival held last week at Caius College, Cambridge, in celebra-
tion of the five hundredth anniversary of the foundation of that seat of
learning, after the usual loyal and other toasts, the Rev. j. j. Smith
proposed " Physic," and, strange as it may seem that such a thing
should have been done at a convivial meeting, Physic was actually
drunk by the company. In what terms Mr. Smith's speech was
couched, we do not know; perhaps they were some such as these—
" Gentlemen, allow me to propose you a toast. When I mention health,
you will all admit that I allude to the greatest of sublunary blessings.
I am sure, then, you will agree with me that we are all more or less
interested in the toast I am about to propose. I beg pardon, gentlemen,
I should rather say to prescribe. Gentlemen, with a view to our better
healths, if you please, we'll drink Physic; and much good may it do
us." Had any vocalists been present, one of them might, or would, or
could, or should have obliged the company with an appropriate song;
as, for instance, with the following :—
A bumper of febrifuge fill fill for me;
Give those who prefer it black draught;
But whatever the dose, it a strong one must be,
Though our last dose to-night shall be quaff'd.
And while Influenza attacks high and low,
And man's queerest feelings oppress him,
Mouths-making, nose-holding, round, round let it go,
Drink our Physic and Pounder—ugh bless him!
U---ugh bless him !
Tj — u — u<rh bless him !
Mouths-making, nose-holding, round, round let it go,
Drink our Phy y-y-sic and Pounder—ugh bless him !
