Under these circum- . itances, having nothing particular to do, he , ih^^ he might as well get an opinion from • lawyer. He had often heard people speaking of a 9ertam Mr. Wiseman, whose rejmtation was so great that even the judge did pot like to decide contrary to hU opinion. The farmer therefore asked for Mr. TTiseman^s address, and without delay made his way to his house. He found a large number of people waiting t6 ask the advice of the learned knd clever • lawyer, and he had to wait a longitime. At • last his turn came, and/ hei was shown into the room. Mr. Wisemaii asked hun to sit * down, and then, settling his spectacles on his nose so aa to get a comfortabfe look at him, begged him to state his business.
