But then these best-known men took an unfair advantage of their position, and were ruthless in the lengthy cruelty of their addresses. Von Bauhr at Berlin was no doubt a great lawyer, but he should not have felt so confident that the legal proceedings of England and of the civilised world in general could be reformed by his reading that book of his from the rostrum in the hall at Birmingham!
All the iniquities of which the English bar may be guilty cannot be so intolerable to humanity as Von Bauhr." "Well, good-night, old fellow; your governor is to give us his ideas to-morrow, and perhaps he will be as bad to the Germans as your Von Bauhr was to us." "Then I can only say that my governor will be very cruel to the Germans." And so they two went to their dreams.
"I have no doubt that Von Bauhr said a great deal of the same nature; and what Von Bauhr said will not wholly be wasted, though it may not yet have reached our sublime understandings." "Perhaps he will vouchsafe to us a translation." "It would be useless at present, seeing that we cannot bring ourselves to believe it possible that a foreigner should in any respect be wiser than ourselves.
And indeed one cannot understand how the bent of any man's mind should be altered by the sayings and doings of such a congress. "Well, Johnson, what have you all been doing to-day?" asked Mr. Furnival of a special friend whom he chanced to meet at the club which had been extemporized at Birmingham. "We have had a paper read by Von Bauhr. It lasted three hours." "Three hours! heavens!
And at the end of this elysium, which was not wild in its beauty, but trim and orderly in its gracefulness, as might be a beer-garden at Munich, there stood among flowers and vases a pedestal, grand above all other pedestals in that garden; and on this there was a bust with an inscription: "To Von Bauhr, who reformed the laws of nations."
A man who strives honestly to do good will generally do good, though seldom perhaps as much as he has himself anticipated. Let Von Bauhr have his pedestal among the flowers, even though it be small and humble!
"Nor ought it, seeing that a single trial for murder will occupy a court for three weeks. He should have asked Von Bauhr how much work he usually got through in the course of a sessions. I don't seem to have lost much by being away. By-the-by, do you happen to know whether Round is here?" "What, old Round? I saw him in the hall to-day yawning as though he would burst." And then Mr.
In the mean time Von Bauhr was sitting alone looking back on the past hours with ideas and views very different from those of the many English lawyers who were at that time discussing his demerits.
Von Bauhr is, I think, from Berlin." "Yes; he and Dr. Slotacher. Slotacher is to read his paper the day after to-morrow." "Then I think I shall go to London again. But what did Von Bauhr say to you during those three hours?" "Of course it was all in German, and I don't suppose that any one understood him, unless it was Boanerges.
His answer did not take three hours more, I hope." "About twenty minutes; but what he did say was lost on Von Bauhr, who understands as much English as I do German. He said that the practice of the Prussian courts had always been to him a subject of intense interest, and that the general justice of their verdicts could not be impugned."
