sional labour which appear more rational in theory than that at present adopted. But there are none of them, WE have much satisfaction in perceiving that views we fear, without some practical defects, the force of similar to those that we have on different occasions put which it is not easy to calculate a priori. One of these forth in the pages of this Journal, on subjects of Law modes is that adopted in reference to the professional Reform, are now adopted and urged upon the profession occupations of scientific men, and also frequently adoptand the public by a learned writer, whose position as the ed in reference to the employment of lawyers on public author of some well-known professional publications, business, viz. a remuneration upon some fixed scale proand as a member of a former Legislature, may commu- portionate to the time employed, as, for instance, a nicate to his advocacy greater weight and efficacy than given number of guineas per day. This plan has cerwe might hope to attain*. The subjects to which we tainly the merit of regulating the remuneration of proallude more particularly, are the irrationality of the fessional labour, in some degree by the expenditure of present mode of remunerating the labours of lawyers, professional skill and mind, and has therefore some whether counsel or attornies, by reference simply to the tendency to repel verbosity, and to contract the amount length of their productions; and the want of some of work done within the limits of necessity. But then scheme for applying the jurisdiction of Equity to matters in which the amount of the property in question is very small.

On the first of these subjects the remarks of Mr. Stewart entirely support the views which we took in a former number of THE JURIST, (Vol. 4, p. 161), shewing that the present system of regulating the amount of fees by the length of drafts or other papers, tends to produce great delay and waste of money to the suitor, and great loss of valuable time of the profession. Mr. Stewart, however, stops short, as we then did, at pointing out the defect, and does not propose any remedy except a taxation of costs relating to business not incident to judicial proceedings, as well as to the costs of business arising out of litigation. This is to be regretted, as the difficulty of suggesting an improved mode of remunerating professional labour, undoubtedly, far exceeds that of pointing out the defective tendency of the present

it has, even in theory, the defect of not taking into account the greater or less difficulty of the particular labour; and therefore it is still open to the objection, that the exertion of greater mental energy and greater rapidity of production, only curtails the profits of the professional man.

Such as it is, this plan however obtains extensively in some professional pursuits. Civil engineers, for instance, and men of science when called upon to give evidence in a Court of Law or before a Parliamentary Committee, are usually thus remunerated; and in reference to those professional occupations the system is found, we believe, to work well. But in applying it to the remuneration of the lawyer, some serious practical difficulties would occur. For instance, suppose a solicitor instructed to prepare certain deeds: While engaged in that occupation, he may be called upon to attend to a variety of others, to see clients, to attend a trial, to examine documents in other matters, to answer without There are several modes of remuneration for profes-delay the queries of counsel in some pressing business; *See Suggestions as to Reform in some Branches of the Law, by James Stewart, Esq., Barrister at Law.
