law he goes to practice and gifts rich directly.

have to study law before he gets to practice, why,
night away, sir. But | don't oppose man be-
cause he is rich, nor l ont oppose him because
he is poor no. sir, for this is the reason sir, why

Judges, and | hope, sir, the members OF this
floor, will go for my amendment. MIR. Speaker
