PLATE XXXI. -THE ADVOCATE.

This subject answers to No.29. The example of the Judgeseems to authorize the Advocate toget himself well paid for hisprevarication, andthat even in the presence of his poor dient,whose wretched condition would raise compassion in any breastless obdurate than that of the lawyer. But Death will avengethe oppressed ; he is pouring into the hands of the Advocatemoney in abundance, of which he will have little use, for he is,at the same instant, shewing him, with an air of insult, his sandrun out.

Callidus vidit malum, & ubscondit, sed innocens pertransiit &afflictus est darano. Prov. xxii. 3.

PLANCHE XXXI. L'AYOCAT.

\j e sujet se rapporte au No. 29. L'exemple du Juge semble au-toriser l'Avocat ä se faire payer cherement ses prevarications, &cela meine en presence de son pauvre client qui se tient dans uncertain eloignement, & dont Tetat miserable feroit pitie a uneame moins dure que celle de 1'homme de loi. Mais la Mortvengera l'opprime; eile verse abondamment dans les mains del'Avocat de Fargent dont il ne profitera guere, car eile luimontre en merae tems d'un air moqueur son sable ecoule.
