MY MISTAKES.
BY M. 0. BUSi.VD.
The qnestion was put io me, would I like to
go into Hobbes & Grumbury s Bank ? I
said I thought I ah m.d ; my notion ot
nv employment afc Hobbes & Grumbary's
being that I should stand behind a counter
with a copper coal-shovel, and dabble in
sovereigns. Everv one said that I was a
lucky fellow, and would be a partner with
Hobbes & Grumbury, or when Hobbes
was left, I should succeed Grombury, or
Grumbury being gone, I should come into
Hobbes' plaoe. or both defu ot, I should
be all alone as Me, late Hobbes & Grum
bary. There was the opening, said my uncles,
encouraging me as if I was a ferret going in to
work my way up and hont out poor old Hobbes
& Grumbury. In I went. They were very parti?
cular about their clerks being at the omce at
nine, and not loaviug until the last figure had
been scored, and all work done, which often
didn't happen till half past Uve. At midday 1
would rush over to my brother at Lioyd'd,
who could alwavs spare au hour to my five
minutes, aad asli h'm to give me luncheon. I
have oome to the conclusion that tur> le soup
and puncu is not the best thu.g to take in the
mid.ue.of the day. if you waut to add up sums.
Birch's punch if. A 1 and soon becomes A 2 ana
A3. I behove uiy brother went back ready to
write risks for fabulous .-urns to the coast
of the undiscovered island, if auy ono had
suggested SUCH speculations then. For myself,
after one of these midday repasts, I smiled on
Hob JOS through tue glass door, iud winked at
Grumbury when he came out to know whose
eye it wa); and on my tenth day in the bank, I
went wrong to the extent of thirty thousand
pounds in roy account. I forget now how it
was .bat I had to enter it, or what took me into
the oas ii"?r'a department; probably Birch's
punch did it. At all events tho cashiers clerks,
and Hobbes & Grumbury inio the bargain,
ware all Kept at the bank fong after office hours
utterly unable to make out waere the rooney
was lost, and I hayo a sort of notion that iu
cjnseqn?noe ot tm-, little error of mino, some?
thing wont no" in the city, and :omething
"weut down," and the Btoek exchange was
somehow visibly affected. I was cautioned, und
went on tor more than a week at thia sort of
druigery (for drudgery it was to a B. A.),
w en my brother at Lloyd's suddenly discov?
ered a wo: id er ul be vera, o concocted by the
head waiter of the Matine Insurance establish?
ment. There was plenty of icc in it, I know
tuat. a d you sucked it th.ougha straw, like
sherry cobbler; it wasn't sherry cobb er, and
it wasn't any omer coboler; bat ic was ouo of
those drinks that you go ou sipping and won?
dering wnat it i?, and bo tv it's made, and
whether halt a glass m ire voa. J hart yoa. I
did all thu* and tbo half class more did hart
me. I have bo n broce informed that I offered
to flgnt one of the customers, who, I pointed
out. had insulted me across the counter,
and; whose proffered check I scorned.
H J dbe i ?c. Grumbury agreed to look ov.r
this (Grumbury was soma what obstinai e), and
I remained in the b m.;; bu; avoided luucheons.
My evenings in towu were giveu up to relaxa- I j1
tiou. a id my mornings I withddfien tv devoted
to Hobbes & Grumbury. lu fact, I may say.
that after a time, uncling refreshing sleep at
night incompatible Wita geing to boa late and
geit ug to Hobbes & Grum bury's ut 9 A. M., I
devo ed my evenings to the serious wtrk of
amusement, a.ii the daytime to refreshing my?
self w.tn as mach sleep as I could g st at my
desk behind the counter o? Hobbes & Gruir bu -
ry's. Summer and crioket came; once I staved
away wu.a leave and missed the tran; another
time I staved away without leave aud missed
two trams. HobbesBUO k bis head, and Grum?
bury observed, "It would./:-, do." Hoboes
tmdme that "when he was a youngman he
came into the city with i. crust, aud had to
work for hie daily brea Ht bau no cricket or
amusements." 1 didn't know if ibis was an
argum mt; if it was, I had nothing to say. I
p.tied poor Hoboes. Grumbury chimed io
that '.m.' had beea m ids to work; had not
known what it was to have a holiday for years."
which. I am sorry to say it hf Grumbury. was
njt the strict troth, as he never came to the
bank OU ?atui days, and hau stopped away on
Monda s and Wednesdays (having a country
farm) for ene last twenty years. Both partners
thought I had made a mistake in coming into
the bunk, and w I retired, leaving the victory
in the ianda of Hobbes & Gram bury.
..Now," said my fainer, wno was very ingrv
at the partnership prospect being obliterated*,
"you m ist do something."
Wa were at dessert at tho time, aud being
thus addressed, I began peeling an apple; not
because 1 wanted it, une to convey an idea that
I had no wish to bo id e.
?The army?" said I ?nqairiagly.
.Tou're to > old," was my fathers reply, sur?
lily.
1 murmurod vaguely, '"tho Mounted Rifles,''
having some indistinct n don that you could
ei to . this corps (if such au one existed, of
wfcic J I had mv seoret doubts) up to a..y agc;
pernio i be a raw recruit at seventy.
"Mounted fiddlestickiP'said my father, who
thought I was treating tho subject with levity,
and didn't want me to be, as ne expressed it,
"kicking my heels about home."
I couldn't help laughing at his saying
"mounted Udidesticks," whereupon ho begged
me not to play the fool at his table, whatever I
might do at Hobbes & Grumbury's. From
which yoa may gatner that my parout did not
possesi the beat of tempers; ue was, also, as
you may have aoau fro.a his view of tho lu
Eure partnership at Hobbes' a very sanguine
mau.
"The IAW ?" I suggested, experimentally.
"Yes,"said he, superciliousy, "that's all
very well, out wnat d y >u meau by the law ?"
I d.dn't know what I meant, having in med
Soken at hap-bazard, but 1 had a general idea
a Jong wig aud bo.ng a judge, somehow, i
was silent.
"The bar?" asked my father, "or a soboi
or?"
Merer having considered this be/ore, I
thought the dutiful coarse would be to refer it
to him. He chose the our. Toe prospect ho
held ont was a brilliant one. "Make a speech."
said hi. "livery one Bays clever, very olever;
who is he ? Then they all want to kuow us.
Som J question arises of imporiauco; you make
another speech. Judge; immediately pomt
yoa oat as the rising man; tnon you got into
the House, make a hit there, your fortune is
made, and you're Lord 0 .auoQilor-the high?
est dignity in the kingdom." As he had evi?
dently mide up his mind as to my future po?
sition, I could only try ts seo it in the same
light and say "'Yes." though 1 feit that unless
there was a great change in the British con?
stitution, it would bo some considerable time
before they would seo mo on the woolsack.
Tais, however, 1 kept to myself, and admitted
to my father that my elevation to tho Chancel?
lorship was uocsuen a very improbably thing
after all. He then began to tell me stories ol'
Guano dlors woo had bogan lifo by sweepiu
out officos. or as errand-boys, or by holding
horses, until I secretly regrett d not having
chosen tue swoaoing profession as the true
roid to legal preferment.
Bein? JDon tne subject, he pointed to tho
example of how Lord Cuancollor 8omubodt was
at the bar for tea years without getting a br ef.
and was, one day, abcut to throw ic up ia dis?
gust, and enlist, when a brief came, ho spoke
splendidly, and his fortune was made. 1 re?
alised mvBeif in that portion of the history
wnere he hadn t any business; but thia I kept
to myielf.
It was decidor! that I should go to the bar.
Tho entrance being obtained by either passing
an examination or attending a course of lec?
tures, I chose thu latter, banner lost confidence
m myself from oxperienca in the former me?
thod. I had nearly connie od thc appointed
number, when I made a mist .ko in the day.
This I explained to tho lecturer and it was
overlooked. But in the following week for tho
first i ni . I mistook thc hour nn" arrived when
t e door was shut, the last lecturo riven, and
i he piolessor gone into the country for ais va?
cation.
A friend said '"Oh, go in for tho Exam. Easy
as p ?ssiblc."
I suggested th>t thero .vero legal difficulties
.vhich would poso ino. Eui answer wan confi?
dently, "Not a bit. All law is founded upon
tba principies of common sense. Reduce any
apparent legal difficulty to first principles, and
there you are. (I subsequently tried this; and
certainly there I was, but did'nt tret anv fur?
ther). "Buttechnical te: ms ono must getup,"
I objected. Ho was quita indignant.
..Tech ni al terms, said he, "eau bc master?
ed in a week's reading.' His theory was that
hardly any iawycrs knew anything of law; that
the nrien who got on tho best knew the least;
which in. to i he beginner, encouraging as a
thcorv. but fails you wh;n reduced to practico,
or, more strictly speaking, when you, as a bar?
rister, :ire reduced t<> no practice However,
wiiat man dared 1 dared, and in I went. I read
my paper through carefully; it didn't seem to
contain muc i law that J. was acqu noted with;
but remembering my friend's advice about
1 first principies" and "common sense," sottlod
down io one.question. It was this :
"Why is notice of a prior inenmbrance, etc.,
whioh ought to be, but is not, registered in a
Countv Registry, effectual to observe pri?
ority?"
I tried to reduce this to principles of com?
mon ense. After mue a thought it struck rae
that o-jrhaps if I commenced tho auswer on
paper it wou'dcomo r-gbt of itself somehow,
t?o I began slowly on a large sheet with a big B
up ia one comer, "Bec ?use-" -\es. exact?
ly, becauso why? It looked liko tho answer to
a riddle. I glanced round at my neighbors;
they were all srnbblin.J away at various rates,
heads down, well at thi ir work. The examiuer
had his eye on mo. so I made a feint to be
thinking deeply, and scratched out "Because"
slowly, and then wron it down again in a dif?
ferent character on another sheet of paper.
After a lew minutes I found that 1 had only
been sketching fancy portraits of littl exam?
iners with big heads all about tho page, with
au occssinal reminisce jct of the lineaments of
Bobbed & Grumbury- This I felt wouldn't
pass me, so I made a bold jump to number
seven, in consequence of recognizing tho word
"mortgage."
"No. VII.-Why is a person taking a mort?
gage of propertv and knowing that it was sub?
ject to an equitable mortgage , postponed to
the latter?"
It was necessary to write something, so I
commenced by saying that "By the word mort?
gage wo must tv v rstand -"this I scratch?
ed out, rind o.. reconsideration began again
thus: "To enter into Ihis subject as fully au it
desorves, we must reduce the technical ques?
tion to tho first principles of common sense."
There I stopped. It 'fas uo good. An attempt
to hit off au original definition of "Construct?
ive Fraud" was also, I have reason to believe,
a failure.
A short-poiutad question, ovideut.y framed
by a brisk exami er. caught my eve. "So. X.
-What is replevin?'' 1 didn't like to reply
that ii was made rp of the words "re" and
'.plevin," which was (ne only answer that sug?
gested itself to mo after looking at it for five
minnies ; so I pat this on one side, and, like a
Mazeppa among tho examination questions,
"Aga n ho urges ou his wild career."
Page 3. On tho second paper : Criminal
Law. "If a prisoner has received jude ment,
iud the acntence bo afterwards rovcrsed by a
Court of Error, can he be again indicted for
the same offo'ice ?"
Here I was at home at last. "No," I wrote
boldly. ' He could not bo indicted for ihe
same offence, because,"-here was au opportu?
nity for a specimen of my style; the examiners
jould iudge from this what an acquisition I
ibouldbe to the bar as an advocate-"because
t is, the til'nous privilege of a born Eogbsh
nan, of one whose birthright is to call himself
rec and never to know slavery,"-this was, I
elt, a too evident paraphrase on the chorus ot
'Rulo Britannia;" but it looked well, and would
mee ^ed admirably il declaimed,-' tobe charg
?d once with t.ie same offence; and being cou
rijtod or unconvicted it mattered not, ho cou d
lever, never,"-"Fule Britannia" again: I
>ught to have eriveu my attention to maritime
aw-"be again placaa at, the bar before twolve
if his fellow-coun ryinou, ready to take Iiis
itaud for tho offene J once committed, and"
?ero Heit I was getting weak, and might lapse
uto unconscious verbiage, so pulled up with
'in fact it was Lota Iv against the principles of
Snglish law," aid English common sense, on
vhich all law was founded,*-this came in well,
-"to try a mau twico tor only one offence."
Ut er this effort I paused. What was tho next
raestiou ? The ne tt, waa a pendant to tho ibr
ner, and ran thus:
" Give fi ?? reason for your answer."
_ luis took me aback. It involved reading my
iDswer 3vor agaui. I could see no loaBon for
t. Tho more I thcught of it the less reason I
ould see. In fact, the whole case came grad
lally to assume a tnt ally different complexion.
Vhy sboulda't a min bo tried twico if ho do
ervea t, or could ie be caught again? "Caught
gain 1" That suggested a new train of thought,
'erhaps tho question turned upon this suppo?
sion. Yet, if so, it waa absurdly like Airs,
rlass' recipe of " First catch your hare," and
ouldn t very well write that down, as it might
30k like impertinence towards the examiner or
louchers, or whoever they wore who had to
ead these papers. Give vie rn son for your
.nswer. No, I couldn't seo any. There was
:ore ,8?n for it, except that I "didn't kuow
ny other." Td le ive it, and pretend I hadn't
een it.
Ile JO was a simile one, almost pretty ia its
imp.ic.ty, "Waat constitutes tho crime of
arceny ?
Taking a pocket bandkerohief was the Bret
nswer thal aroso to my lips. Bat why only a
iickelhandkerchief? That wouldn't do. Try
'to take anything." That Bounded like au in
itat'ou to lundiem-Would I tako anything?
Pon my word, I enid to myself, one ought to
.now what larcery is. It wis mere quibbling
0 sav it was thett. No. Tho oioa voce portion
ommenoed. ?
"Could I," I was asked, "state some cases in
rhich an indictment would lie for words
poken ?"
Culdl? No, I couldn't. I'd try, though.
'Au indictment would lie," I began sticking
ilosoly to the form of the question, "for words
ipoken when"-hore I cons.d.red. The ex
. miner waited. Ho didn't suggest anything,
io I b gan again-"Words spoken,-that ia,
D words spoken, an indictment would lie'-a

if the word ho. I had it, and finished bril
iantly, "Au indictment, ia tact, would lie, if it

ooked up and asked mo if I had undorstood

hanked me, and told mo ? inigot go. He had
iad enough of mo. But 1 was beginning to
ake rather a liney to him. I should like to
tave engaged bim ia general conversation.
Ve should have understood ono another then,
le made a not J of my namo, and ic was in
1 ma ted to me tho n ex. morning that farther
.ttendance oo my p.rt in Lincoln's Inn
fall would, for the present, be dispensed with.
I found that, ia addition to giving this in
pired answer, I had sent up my papers with
ny one auswer wntteu, m.xed by mistake with
wo sheets full of grotesque examiners, admi
ably drawn by mu with large heads and little
egs. This was my mistake at Lincoln's Inu.
Subsequently, I attended the leeturos and din- i
lurs, was called to tho bar, sat down by mis- 1
ake (on that occasion) next to one "of thu
udgoa ot th"1 .and at tlii beucers' table, and 1
ras politely removed by the butler.
If nothing aappens oetweon this and then, 1

loits of dari ig bravery. Perez at tho time ,
topped out f .om his post, and calling to Colo
