WORK FOR THE EDUCATED UNEMPLOYED.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."]
SIR,—The suggestion in your article of August 3rd that retired Imperial administrators might be asked to reinforce the borough and county Benches seems to be an excellent one. Surely University men who have retired from practice at the Bar should be considered equally eligible. I live in the Midlands where the Benches around me are crowded with " Colonels " and " Captains " of various sorts, whose know- ledge of the law they are called on to administer must of necessity be small, and there are hardly any of the class I refer to who are represented. It seems desirable that in future a legal training should be deemed one of the chief qualifications requisite in selecting Justices of the Peace.— I am, Sir, &c., IRRITATED BECAUSE UNEMPLOYED.
