GOSSIP OF THE DAY.
THE ETIQUETTE OF THE BAR.
The Law Journal refuses to credit the story that Sir Edward Clarke has offered to defend Mr. Oscar Wilde at the Old Bailey without a fee. It is clearly, it says, contrary to the etiquette of the Bar for counsel to defend any prisoner for less than the minimum sum recognised by old-established usage, except by request of the presiding Judge. Nor does it find Mr. Oscar Wilde's a case in which such a nominal fee could properly be accepted.
