See also the commencement of the Dialogue des Avocats du Parl. de Paris, by Loisil, which contains curious particulars throughout respecting the ancient French Bar. An amusing anecdote is related of Pasquier, the famous French advocate. In 1583, while he was attending the assizes (_les grands jours_) at Troyes, he sat for his portrait, and after the painter had finished the likeness, which Pasquier had not yet examined, he asked him to represent him with a book in his hand. The painter said that it was too late, as the picture was completed without hands. Upon this the witty lawyer immediately wrote the following lines as a motto for the portrait: Nulla hic Pascasio manus est: Lex Cincia quippe Causidicos nulla sanxit habere manus. Forsyth's Hortensius, 424. [37] The reader will find in the Appendix, No. III, an account of the different orders of the English Bar. [38] In some States, the professions of attorney and counsellor at law are not distinct; the same person conducts the cause in all its stages; and it has not been considered that his authority ceases when judgment is obtained. The attorney is in some degree the agent as well as the attorney of the party. Huston, J., in Lynch _v._ The Commonwealth, 16 Serg. & Rawle, 368. [39] Mooney _v._ Lloyd, 5 Serg. & Rawle, 416.

Though it seems to be a shadowy distinction, yet I believe it to be beneficial in effect. It contributes to preserve the idea of profession, of a class which belongs to the public, in the employment and remuneration of which no law interferes, but the citizen acts as he likes, '_foro conscientiae_.'"
