He asked him if he would be kind enough to advise him on a little legal matter in which he was concerned, and, on James acquiescing, drew up a statement specifying his own grievance against the learned counsel and asking him to state what he considered the best course for a landlord to take under such conditions. The paper was returned to him the next morning with the following sentence subjoined:

"In my opinion, this is a case which admits of only one remedy: Patience-Edwin James."

The single defect of that genius among judges,
