A Savannah attorney is looking
up the law in a fnost peculiar ease,
with t he view of possibly tiling the
papers in n suit for' 000. The
circumstances aro these: A few
months ago a gentleman met a
young friend and inquired about
his family. The young man had
been once blessed with twins, and
he expressed some fear of again
-being blessed in the same manner
at no remote date. 'Well, should
it occur, I will give you a present
of 1,000,' remarked Mr. IJlank,
jokingly, to the young father.
Two bystanders were asked it
they heard "the promise,
plu-d that tliey did, and
to be witnesses in ease they were
needed.
A lew days ago the young man's
family was increased by -two new
members on the same day. In the
exuberance of his happiness he
forgot all about the promise until
rem' ided of it by one of the 'wit
nesses. Mr. Jjlank has been pro
.senlod wirh'a bill for $1,000, which
j he declined to pay. He says that
the agreement- was a mere joke
kind not in the nature of a contract.
Another ground of the defense will
be that the remark was' in the na
ture of a bet or wager, and there
fore illegal and not collectable.
jliesides, ho says it is ijuito proba
l.!e that the plaintiff the con
templated suit knew whereof he
spoke when he accepted the propo
sition, and was therefore betting
o i a certainty. Tnat would con
stitute fraud or deception, and un
der the unwritten law of betting
the loser is not compelled to pay in
siiefi case-. AtKjlbcr plea will bo
that the contract was not oue
which could be performed within a
year and should therefore have
been in writing. Unfortunately
for the defendant the facts in the
case will crpsM this last plea.
Th'i; plaintiff contends that
let was-made, and that he was nut
betting on a certainty. On the
'contrary. .he claims that there was
a clear contract, his part of which
.had been fulfilled. Savannah Dai
ly News.
Eroxn time immemorial, the pro
fession of the law has" been crowded
and from the earliest time its crow
ded condition has been the theme
of many a gibe and jest, bat the
votaries of justice do not dimmish
in numbers. It is sometimes asked
'what "becomes of all who obtain a
license to represent clients in the
courts ? Many are called to the
bar but few are chosen and the
chosen few are the earnest men
who aro ready and willing to make
eacnfice to attain the goal of honor
and distinction. Men come to the
bar for different purposes; some
for association in an honorable and
influential profession, some for the
brotherhood of a profession that is
instinct with the esprit de corps,
some for a comfortable seat in the
courthouse, and some for the se-i
rious business of the profession
'ancient as magistracy, noble as
virtue, necessary as iustice, AH
but the last class slough off and
lose their hold and aro absorbed byj
less exacting pursuits. But the
men who enter the profession of
tlie law as a life pursuit; with the
great aim of success and the ambi-
tion to win it, these are the men
who are dressed in the 'white
robes' of the profession j the elec
who have como, into the ranks of
the profession with teeth and fist
clinched and with tar on their heels:
wno nave come to stay Theirs is
a life of sacrifice; theirs is the ca
pacity to endure, to wait, to be
patient, to be strong under temp
tation, to resist the wiles of idle
ness, the seduction of ease, and the
inlluence of evil example; but great
is their reward if faithful to duty
under all these -trying circumstan
ces, for the prizes that $wait them
are worthy of heroic sacrifice.
