THE INSURANCE ACT.-In reply to "Country Solicitor," the amount a solicitor has to pay under the Insurance Act is 3d. a week. The clerk himself has to find 4d. Some solicitors are not so generous as "Country Solicitor." Their clerks are poorly paid at the best of times, and in illness have nothing. In one case reported last year a clerk even had to sue his employer to recover moneys wrongly deducted from his wages in the nature of fines which had been charged for the most trivial matters. This clerk had the courage to proceed against his employer-a right which most married men would not dare to exercise. The poor clerk who is married and feels the children, as Erskine said, "Plucking at his robes and crying, 'Now is the time, father, to get us bread,' is glad of this opportunity of getting 10s. a week whilst ill. To these the Act is a blessing. The clerk who is assisted as the the clerks of "Country Solicitor" are always remember and appreciate the blessings of working under such employers. I know from experience that the clerk who is thus assisted, providing he is paid proper wages, has a lasting place for his employer in his affections. His work is accomplished in the light of his employer's interest, and he is more accurate and trustworthy, and always a saving to his employer's pocket. And why? Because the affection and added interest have put life into "the dry bones of the law." Is this affection to be bartered away because of a mere 3d. a week? The question is not a onesided question of principle, because the clerk's payment exceeds the amount payable by the employer. Both contribute; both benefit. Audi alteram partem. A COUNTRY CLERK.
