When Lawyers Are Quiet.

One George Wilson, a lawyer, who had much litigation, in some of which he was personally interested as a party or as a trustee, finally passed away, and a short funeral sermon was delivered byya member of the bar in the presence of a few old personal friends. The lawyer told how the old man had been abused and maligned, but that; in fact, he had helped the poor and unfortunate often and ’ was not a bad man. On returning from the services au old lawyer was asked by another lawyer about the services and what was said. The ojd lawyer replied, “For once old George could not file a demurrer or motion to any of the proceedings which had taken place.” The lawyer who made the inquiry replied, “Well, this must be the first time George did not move for arrest of judgment.”—Green Bag.
