We publish the above that oar people id H know how consistent our Legislature was x' ieek ing to lower the pay of the Jury boy, a in trying to fix a low rate for publishing o ,i clal advertisements in the newspapers. L>. In the above It will be seen tlmt the prim received one dollar on his job of printing: ?r which there was a profit possibly of twet [t cents. lc The lawyer who drew the assignment u eeivccl $20.) 'or his services in writing the | ,j. per, which is merely a lormal document, w ;i reasonable number of "whereases" a e "therefores," the drawing of which was wor , at a liberal price, say $10, and lor advice di IK ing the administration he should have rece ed perhaps 515 additional. u In winding up an esuite.of less than $9,C j, which was t-old in bulk,and which peril* will cover a period of only a short time, t .. legal lees and charges run up to nearly $1,0" nothing was even attempted by our Legis w ture to provide lor a cheaper mode of settll j, insolvent estates. e. Because of the great expense Incident to I j former practice of appointing referee* In c ,r tain cases, the Master is now charged wi J the matter of the accounting, and render! le judgment. His co*ts are perhaps ooe-flfth 0 possibly one-tenth of the lormer char; oy the referee. In like manner t i,. I'robale Judge, or the Public Guardian, s tot j be required to tHke charge of insolvent i s' tates. He should be made county asslguee, whose care all such estates should oesubm r ted. The Probate Judge, the Masi H or other public officer, entrusted with tl wont couiu nave saveo aooui .?j?u ui iud ia ' yer'8 fee and about StiOOof the commlsslo ,K and that much more would have been left divide between the creditors. b In this, we make no charges against ar body. It Is the system, or the rule, to will ,. we object, and we cite tills case only an object lesson, proving our poll We believe that the itemized sta ' ment above published Is only the bis ' ry of every other assigned estate, with cour*e unimportant changes in the itemlz * account. A Legislature that would look hi * the interest of the people, should of coui " provide against the wasteot Insolvent e?tat There Is noeurthly reason why theseUlemt , ol an assigned estate should cost anywhc ' from five o twenty limes as much as the s * tlement of the estate of a deceased person. ? Another noted objection which 1 have to the report In the estate Of J. W. Du< . ett. is the payment In full of the attorne, 1, lees. $200. There is not the least s adow ' lawful authority lor making the drawing ' the assignment paper a preferred claim v" the estate. The drawing of that paper w an act precedent to th* assignment and t attorney for that, work has no better claim ( , the estate for his work, when he knew the < _ tate was insolvent, than we have for our i jj count for printing which was done at a tit when we tnought Mr. Duckett was soiveut. There is not a man on the face of the ear that does not. know that 8200 isanexcessi fee for drawing one of the simplest of L L>l in pie legal pnpers. The attorney knew U I insolvency of his client, and if be undertoc to work lor him he should have demand* cash for his work, or else put in bis claim al ? rair price and take a pro rata share "with t re?t. of us. We believe If protest was entered nt tl right time, that there Is not a court on the ia of the earth that would sustain a charge 8200 lor drawing a simple assignment, at tl then order the bill to be paid as a preterr claim. We further believe that there Is n a a solvent business man, wh > has a proper r card for the safety and preservation of bis < ? tale, who would pay S200 for a pap (I which lie might easily enough secure for $ r The legal form of assignment is about as sii H, pit- as the ordinary mortgage of land, and i H see no reason why blank forms of asslgnme a. should not be hail, even as such blank mo gages are furnished. '"t OTIIEB COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE LROISL |. TtTRE. . several years ago, me iurm ui num. "J. known as "Scotch mortgages" was adopU . in which the mortgagor gave the mortgag il Pow?-'r lH se" ,n case of failure to pay. Tl was done with a view to saving cost, but t last Legislature passed a law which. If not ' :ended for the special benefit ol lawyers, b that eirect, to the greai Injury and oppress! of many debtors. Now, when the eredll . fears the margin Is not sufficient to pay t '' debt and the costs, be must himself eltt pay the lawyer a fee or cause bis debtor : pay it. Where small tractsof laud have be mortgaged, the subjection of heavy costs ^ the collection Inflicts wrong to the creditor else It Is oppression on the small landowr who Is struggling to get a homestead, i The consistency of requiring a printer to ! a few dollars worth of work at three fourt ' its value, and doing nothing to protect unf tunate creditors from charges like tbeabc is perfectly apparent. The conslsiency or reducing the number , trial Justices to save a few dollars while losing small estates to be wiped out of ex! ence by legal fees aud charges Is also api rent. '/f The consistency of paying a lawyer $200 a few hoar's work In his office, while reqi: j. Ing the citizen to travel tulles and pay ho bids, to atteud court at fifty cents or a dol " a day, If the witness is "a material wltoes ^7 Is perfectly clear.
