A BARRISTER'S CARD.
Mr. Briefless begs to inform the public and his friends in general, that he
has opened chambers in Pump-court.--N.B. Please to go down the area steps.
In consequence of the general pressure for money, Mr. Briefless has
determined to do business at the following very reduced scale of prices;
and flatters himself, that having been very long a member of a celebrated
debating society, he will be found to possess the qualities so essential to
a legal advocate.
Motions of cause, 6s. 6d.--Usual charge, 10s. 5d.
Undefended actions, (from) 15s.--Usually (from) 2l. 2s.
Actions for breach of promise (from) 1l. 1s.--Usually (from) 5l. 5s. to 500l.
Ditto, with appeals to the feelings, (from) 3l. 3s.
Ditto, ditto, very superior, 5l. 5s.
Ditto, with tirades against the law (a highly approved mixture), 3l. 3s.
N.B. To the three last items there is an addition of five shillings for a
reply, should one be rendered requisite.
