(By luff Oomepoadent.) London., April II. Law In any coun-l try I a ooatly luxury but prpbably there la bo' country In the world where It more eoatly than In England. Th Eng' llah litigant may oongratulat hlmaelf that be get a very fair article for bla money out be baa to pay heavily lor it. There ta now being beard la the King bench court In London a ult which may fairly be said to held the record for coet and tedlouaneaa.

Volnmlaona Documents. Th .document In th case ar eo voluminoua that the court was not large enough to bold them, and a special room In th Law Court building had to b fitted ud aa a library, and set I aside for them. Ther a staff of clerks la at work all day sortlna and classi fying them, as they are called for by counsel in th case, ana ar returned after use in court. Nothing could better illustrate th difference between American and Eng lish leaal practice than thla caae. in America ther might be a couple of emi nent lawyer engaged on each side, but a case, of this kind would be quickly dis posed of and moat of tha real business would be done In conference between the lawyer and their cllenta In this caae. aa In-every other English lawsuit, the lawyers who actually try th caae frobably never saw their clients until hey met In court, and even after the caae Is finished It is auite possible that thev have never SDoken to them excent to address the formal question In court when the cllenta occuoied the wltneaa box, . . The cual system which still Survives In English law practice Is resDonslble lor tnis absurdity. English lawyers, of course, are divided into two claasea I barristers and ao licit ora Tb solicitor is the man who must be approached b; the' clients and on whom devolves aJ I the heavy work In the preparation of the case lor trial. Yet the solicitor who has the -case at his flna-era' enda 1 not allowed to ay a word in th higher court. He must "brief a bar rister to do tni and etiquette forbid a barrister to have anything to aay to the litigant Who is paying hi fee ex cept through the medium of the eo llcitor. If tb case la an Important one b nuat have at least one king's counsel. Th king's counsel are -the senior members of the bar and they ar distinguished from th Juniors by the fact that their' gown are of silk while those of the Junior are of "stuff." They ar also compelled - by the eti quette , of the profession to charge a hlsher fee than the Juniors, and the style of wig that they wear, in court la a little dlfferentf rora that worn by th' Juniors. -W;;: .'. s-vsf..."" .;'., . , ', - ; Cannot gn foi JT. Etloutte also Ignores the fact that th barrister is entitled to receive a fee. In fact the law does not allow Mm to sue for his fees and he solves this difficulty by lnsistinsr on a sub stantlal "retainer" before be undertakes the ease at all, and an : equally sub stantlal "refresher" each morning be fore he goe Into court. 1 He is not permitted, again Dy etiquette, to receive these fees ' for himself. Tbey are paid to bis clerk and tbe custom of the Srofesslon requires that tbe lees shall 11 be .estimated -in guineas instead of pounds. . A guinea is on pound, on shilling:, and th theory la that the clerk receives the shilling and tb bar rister - the pound. There was a time when barrister were not required to have clerks, but ven . then they could not compromise their dignity by - reoeiving money di reotly. There is a .curious' survival - of this time In th hood-shaped bag which nangs irom tn oaca or me Darrisier gown. It Is popularly supposed that this la really a- hood, but it is not In the early days of English litigation the solicitor drotujed the fee Into this bag as he followed the member of the senior , brancn M.tns profession . into Ci111t ' -i; ,.'-V-; . i . ; -Jt . V Etiquette also prevents the barrister from seeking cases In any way, but that Is overcome by th activities of bis clerk.

You will now hav 10 years penal ervltuda' m One of the peculiarities of English law Is that a Judge cannot see a barris ter In court unlese h is properly gowned and wtgged.
