Legal Intelligence.

It looked very piuch as though he lacked the Requisite preparation. “Do you know what fraud is, in' the judicial sense of the word?” inquired the examining attorney?' “I don’t —I hardly think I do,” was the stammering f eply. “ WeU, fraud exists yylien a man.takes advantage of his superior knowledge to (injure andgnorant' person.” “So that’s it, is it ? Then if you take advantage of your superior knowledge of law to ask me questions I can’t answer, owing to my ignorance, and, in consequence thereby, I am refused a license, I will be injured and you will be guilty of fraud. Won’t you, Judge?” The lawyer was very thoughtful for a few moments and then added, reflectively : “My young friend, I perceive you have great natural qualifications for the bar, and I shall recommend that a large, handsomely-engrossed and richlyengraved license be granted you, in spite of your ignorance.”— Texas Siftings.
