our turn in the list of the Court of Appeal.  Not that we haven’t been there before.  Oh yes; we argued whether we had any right to take the matter before them.  Strong Bar.  Two Law Officers of the Crown on one side, and the Ex-Attorney and the Ex-Solicitor on the other.  By the way, how the infant must be getting on!  He must have taken to moustaches and a beard by this time! (Signed) BOBBY BINKS, Clerk to Messrs. ROE, SONS, DOE, TOMPKINS, DOE, SONS AND MARVEL.

Written a Year later.—­This is really a most interesting find.  So the cause of Brown v. Marcellus was commenced many many years ago!  I know it had the reputation of being pretty ancient, but had no idea it was so old.  Fancy, that I should write on the same page under the signature of my grandfather?  Well, old Dr. MARCELLUS stood to his guns, and declared that we had no right to move in the matter at all.  We were only a trustee under a Will, and it was not our matter.  Then we ran through the Courts, Divisional, Appeal, right into the House of Lords.  And the worthy Doctor won!  However, BROWN’s heir was a bit of a sportsman, and made him a Ward in Chancery.  Just could do it, PITT WELLINGTON only in his twentieth year.  That has put us right, Should go on straight now. (Signed) LUKE ROE, Junior Partner of ROE, SONS, DOE, TOMPKINS, DOE AND ROE.

Written after an indefinite Period.—­This is a most useful memorandum, as it gives an idea of what has been done hitherto.  Our firm seems to have wisely kept the action open by paying the term-fee.  As our late respected client’s heir has for a son a young Barrister not in very large practice, I am not surprised that we are requested to continue the action.  Of course, the son of our late respected client’s heir, is to be briefed.  Well, I dare say we shall be able to do something.  Have perhaps quite a pleasant time of it.  At any rate, we have made a move by taking out a summons before the Chief Clerk. (Signed) JAMES TOMPKINS, Surviving Partner of Messrs. ROE & Co.

Written Three Years after the last Entry.—­I am very glad I insisted upon looking through the papers when I accepted the brief in Brown v. Marcellus.  This paper is fairly accurate, save that it describes me as “a Barrister not in very large practice.”  That is a misstatement.  I have been called only ten years, and yet last term I made enough to pay for my share of our Chambers and half the salary of our Clerk in common.  Not in large practice, indeed!  But to return to Brown v. Marcellus.  We have done splendidly.  We have been before the Courts, and taken it again up to the Lords.  The contention I have held for the last three years is at last said to be correct.  We have a right to the body of PITT WELLINGTON, and when we have brought that body before the Court, the Court will order it to be educated as a Reformed Revivalist of the New Connexion.  I consider the establishment of this point a great forensic victory. (Signed) ARTHUR BRIEFLESS, Barrister-at Law.
