_Chief Clerk._ Quite so--commission at seven per cent. PEACE _versus_ GOODWILL! _Seventh Solicitor's Representative._ Proceed with accounts. We object to item 29--grave-stone to testator. Will said that the funeral was to be of the simplest character, and---- _Chief Clerk._ I see. Disallowed. What other items are objected to? _Seventh Solicitor's Representative._ Nos. 33, 44, 87, 136, 150 to 506 inclusive: but, Sir, as some of these may take some time, and we are not quite prepared---- _Chief Clerk._ Very well. Adjourned for three months. WYLD _versus_ SHEPHERD and Others! _Eighth Solicitor's Representative._ We wish to suspend the Manager of the Restaurant in this matter. It is alleged that he---- _Chief Clerk_ (_who has glanced at the papers_). I shall not deal myself with this matter, but put it in the Judges' list. And now, Gentlemen, as I have to attend his Lordship in his own Chambers, I am afraid the other matters must be adjourned to another occasion. [_Exit into inner Apartment hurriedly._ _Ninth Solicitor's Representative._ And he has only got to number seventeen on the 11:30 list! Too bad! _Chorus of Solicitors' Representatives._ Another morning wasted! But it's not _his_ fault; _he_ works hard enough! But, why don't they get enough men to do the business? [_Exeunt to appease their clients, who are impatiently waiting to hear the result of their various applications. Forcible language, and Curtain._ * * * * * OUR BOOKING-OFFICE. REMINGTON'S _Annual_ is a Remington which should go off well. This is the report of it--from the Baron--who says, get it, and read it. _A Fleety Show_, by W. H. POLLOCK. Those who remember _The Green Lady and other Stories_, will be delighted with this. A very quaint idea, which would have borne further elaboration. I came across a story, new to me, but not new, I dare say, to many of my readers--I mean _Cashel Byron's Profession_, by G. BERNARD SHAW. To those who have yet the pleasure to come of reading this one-volume novel, I say, emphatically, get it. The notion is original. The stage-mechanism of the plot is antiquated; but, for all that, it serves its purpose. It is thoroughly interesting. Only one shilling, in the Novocastrian Series. BARON DE BOOK-WORMS & CO. * * * * * ROBERT ON GOOD OLD KRISMUS. Of course I don't kno how jolly Old Krismus affecks other peepel, but I do kno how it affecks me, and that is, that I allus feels pertickler kind to pore ragged littel children, such as we sees in sum of our back-streets and sitch places, and eweryboddy can therefore understand without werry much trubble how werry pleased I was at what append the other day, and how jolly prowd I was at being alloud to have my little share in it.
