T Barristers and the "Trade. INTER-SOCIETY DEBATE. LOCAL SOLICITORS AND THEIR VIEWS. An interesting debate on an interesting question just now engaging much attention in North Wales—"should barristers pledged to temperance reform hold briefs for the drink party ?"—took place on Monday evening in the lecture hall of the English Presbyterian Chapel, RhyJ. The affirmative view :was advocated by members of the English Presby- terian Literary and Debating Society, led by Mr R Bromley, Clerk of the Peace for Flintshire and the negative view was upheld by Mr J Roberts Jones, deputy coroner for Flintshire, and other members of the Literary and Debat- ing Societies connected with Clwyd Street and Princes Street Chapels. Mr Joseph Lloyd, solicitor, who presided over a large attendance, said the subject to be debated that evening was one of peculiar interest at the present movement because of the recent interchange of opinions which had taken place between certain Welsh M.P.'s and certain members of the temperance party. It was also interesting because it showed noble aspirations on the part of Welsh people, namely, that they desired that their representa- tives and public men should be men not only oc ability but of character (loud applause). His kearers were to be congratulated upon having the subject before them thrashed out by two gentleman holding high positions in the county —(applause)—and he was sure that everything that could he said on either side would be urged by them and their supporters (applause). Mr Bromley, in opening the debate in the affirmative, said that the first question to be taken into consideration was-what was the duty of a barrister ? A barrister was a person who represented himself to the world as one who was prepared to act on behalf of any person, whether he be plaintiff, defendant, or applicant in any case. That being the case, he held that it was very unreasonable for the temperance party to insist that a barrister who as an M.P. was pledged to temperance reform could not consistently hold a brief for a brewer or anybody connected with the brewing inte- rest. A person accused of a great crime, how- ever much appearances might be against him, was considered entitled to an opportunity of having every possible word urged in his defence, and the person to put in those words for the accused was the man who had been specially trained to undertake a case of that sort, and whose duty in court would be to urge all that possibly could be urged in his client's behalf. The temperance party seemed, how- ever, to run away with the idea that the barrister appeared in court in a personal character, and not simply as an oflicial party (hear, hear). To put it as briefly as possible, a barrister was the mouthpiece of the party he represented, not the heartpiece. Why, he asked, should a barrister be asked to make a sacrifice which no other person could be asked to make ? It was unfair unless they were going to put everybody else on the same level (hear,j hear). After all a barrister did not come into direct contact with the brewers or publicans, inasmuch as he obtained his work through the solicitors. This was a question which must be considered as affecting the whole of the United Kingdom—at present it had apparently only been taken up in Wales, and then only in connection with two barristers. If barristers refused "trade" briefs they would lose scores of others also, for there were many people throughout the country who would not hesitate to say that if they were so foolish as to do that they would take care that they got no briefs in any other matters (hear, hear). If the question were one of prohibition he was prepared to admit that there was a good deal to be said for the view to be supported by the speaker following him, but as it stood at present it was quite as reasonable to argue that it was unjustifiable on the part of a magistrate who had become an M.P. pledged to temperance reform to assent in the granting of any licensing application coming before him and his fellow magistrates as it was to contend that a barrister also pledged to temperance reform ahould not hold trade" briefs. As for the suggestion that a barrister's advocacy of the cause of temperance was weakened by the fact of his having held "trade" briefs, he main- tained that if sent to Parliament he could there plead the temperance cause with all the elo- quence and zeal of one who had never in any capacity made a plea on behalf of any party interested in the drink traffic (applause) Mr J Roberts Jones, as the leader of the negative party, said that the whole question depended, in his opinion, upon the pledge given. There was no need in this free country for a mf.n to pledge himself either for or against anything but having taken a pledge, he submitted that it would be a dastardly thing for a man to do anything that would tend to break that pledge. If he simply gave the pledge in order to capture votes and after- wards went and broke it he was nothing more than a scoundrel and a traitor. The Chairman: I dont think that "scoundrel" and traitor" used in such a manner are Parlia- mentary terms, but the meeting must decide. Loud cries of "withdraw" followed this observation, but the cries of proceed" pre- ponderating, Mr Roberts Jones continued his argument. After stating that he thought the terms called into question quite applicable, he went on to say that he preferred to go beyond the official capacity of a barrister, on which Mr Bromley had laid so much stress, and to get at the actual man (hear, hear) Unlike the soldier, who was a public servant, and in time of war had to obey his superiors' orders no matter whether they appeared to him to be right or wrong, a barrister could accept or refuse whatever he thought fit. When a barrister donned his gown and wig surely he did not drop his conscience at the same time Hut that was just what the bar- rister did who was pledged to temperance reform and yet accepted" trade" briefs (applause). As the question before them was worded, he submitted that it was as clear as the nor,nday sun--(a voice Where is it 1 and laughter)—that they must answer in the negative (applause). Drink briefs were, as a matter of fact, the best in the market, and to a struggling barrister were undoubtedly a great temptation. He (the speaker) would be the last to haul anyone over the coals for taking up such a brief, but that night they had to deal with the question from a moral standpoint. It was well known that briefs of the description they had been discussing were sometimes offered to a temperance man because those interested in the drink party considered- rightly or wrongly—that that particular man would in that way have more influence with magistrates whose opinions agreed with his own. Bat that was robbing other men and encouraging unfair competitions (hear, hear). Concluding, he said he failed to see the con- sistency or the good of a barrister advocating temperance reform in Parliament while he accepted "trade" briefs outside. The whole question resolved itself into a case of principles versus pockets—(hear, bear)-and he said from the bottom of his heart that the only possible answer that could be given was an uncomprom- ising "No (applause). Mr E Parker Davies, speaking for the affirmative, said that if^barristersjpledged to temperance reform were to be denied "trade" briefs than the next thing would be that magistrates similarly pledged could not sit on licensing benches. In his relation to the publican a barrister might be compared to the good Samaritan (applause). Mr Robert Jones (Itbelfryn) said that if, as had been stated, no barrister M.P. pledged to temperance reform had ever vottd strongly in the House of Commons, it was because he was not there to vote when wanted (laughter). They wanted men to represent them who would stick to their pledges both in and out of Pail a- ment, and he urged the electors of Wales to make sure in future that the personsj they 1 intended voting for were men of that type i (applause). As for the argument that a barris- ter was called upon by declining a. "trade" brief to make a sacrifice which no other person was called upon to make he thought it was only too well known that if many business men yielded to the temptation to go in for a licence they would thereby materially increase their in- comes. Mr R Broadie Griffiths said he did not think that barristers broke their pledges to further the temperance cause at all by accepting "trade" briefs. It was not by taking ex- treme suppressive measures that temperance reform was going to be effected, but by moderation, to which he would attribute any decline in drunkenness rather than to total abstinence. Mr D J Price maintained that it was wrong for anyone pledged to temperance reform to take up briefs relating to the drink traffic. A barrister should not seek to enter Parliament by giving any such pledge if he depended upon "trade" briefs amongst others for a living, for by accepting a trade brief he encouraged the sale of that slow poison to his constituents whom he had promised to cure by reform. Mr Robert Jolley having spoken in favour of the affirmative view, Mr Daniel Evans briefly [ supported the views of Mr Roberts Jones. The leaders having replied, the Chairman said that what the debaters appeared to have fallen out over was the definition of the term Tem- perance reform." To those intending to vote upon the question he would suggest that what they had to decide was (l)whether the fact of a barrister taking a brief for the drink party embarassed, or delayed or prevented him or others who like him were engaged in pursuing temperance reform, and (2) whether the fact, that the barrister was a -ell-known temperance man gave his client an undue advantage which otherwise would be lacking. If their answers to those questions were in the negative thin they supported Mr Bromley's side. But if their answers were in the affirmati ve then there was another question deserving of their con- sideration, namely, was it expedient to deprive a barrister of the means of earning a living? Upon a show of hands the views of Mr Roberts Jones' side was declared to have been carried by 27 votes to 16. The proceedings terminated with a hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman, on the motion of the Rev J Verrier Jones, seconded by Mr Bromley, who said he claimed that privilege as "the defeated candidate."

Notes and Notions. In reading a report of a village meeting the other day, I was very much struck by one remark made by the vicar. He asked wives and mothers to light up the frout parlour oftener, and try to keep husbands and sons at home. Said he, the little additional trouble and expense of using your best room will be abundintly repaid if you keep them from going to public houses and questionable amusements. This was wise advice, and any vicar who gives such counsel has not walked with his eyes shut, or with unsympathetic heart. The days of a shut-up beat room, which smelt, oh, so cold and mouldy when opened-when each chair had a crotcheted antimacassar care- fully arranged on its back, when a round polished table stood in the middle, with probably a shade of wax flowers in the centre, and some choice (and drv) books carefully and symmetrically arranged at exact distances around-those days, we hope, are past; but still there is a great ten- dency on the part of many a careful housewife to keep one room set apart for crest occasions, and too often that room is the brightest and most comfortable in the house. Now I think that if there is such a room, blessed with the most luxu- rious chairs, and ornamented with the most fas- cinating books and pictures, the tired father (the breadwinner), the weary mother (who has toiled all day at household tasks), the young folks just growing up into the most dangerous ways of life ghould have the run of this room. Never mind if an extra half hour is required to set it "to right" it has proved a haven of rest, a quiet nook of enjoyment, and those nice people who study to make home happy and attractive are doing very excellent work in the world. A lady remarked to another that her gas bills must run up, tor she noticed how brightly lit her rooms were. "Well, said the other, if my boys went to the hotel or the music hall, there would be plenty of brilliant light, and I will not spare it at home; they may come in and bring their friend" and I am only too glad to know where they are." Wise mother, and wise vicar! If music and books and light and welcome were more general at home, the rival and doubtful attractions elsewhere would lose their chairms. VERITA.
