The procedure such as it was after it had developed, was patterned after the English practice and was ponderous and formal, full of pitfalls and missteps ready to trip up the unwary by its labyrinthian maze of

technicalities and intricacies. It is related of Gridley, a foremost ad- vocate of Revolutionary days, that he was an attorney for a minister named Lombard, about the year 1769, who was sued on a bond that he would deliver up to the deacons of the church of which he had been min- ister, a parsonage upon the settlement of another minister therein. Within a year after giving the bond the church selected a very illiterate man as minister. Lombard refused to give up the parsonage on the ground that the new incumbent was not such a minister as was intended in the bond. The jury upon the trial in the Court of Common Pleas found a verdict for the plaintiff. Gridley appealed to the Superior Court, where the case was again tried and a verdict again returned for the plaintiff. Gridley moved in arrest of judgment upon the ground that no issue had been joined. Judgment was arrested and a repleader directed, when Gridley filed a plea in bar reciting that by the terms of the grant of the township the parsonage was reserved for the use of a pious, learned, orthodox minister, etc. Daniel Farnham, attorney for plaintiffs, replied, omitting to put "learned" in issue. To this reply Gridley demurred for a departure in the replication, to which Farnham made a rejoinder in demurrer. After argument the court decided the replication to be insufficient and rendered a judgment for the defendant. Lombard was not in court at the time, but entered a few minutes later, when Gridley said to him, "Man, you obtained your cause". Lombard in astonishment asked, "How, Sir"? Gridley replied, "You can never know until you get to Heaven". Dickens' celebrated case of "Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce" could not ring the charges of rebutter, surrebutter, pleas in abatement, to the jurisdiction, demurrer, etc., any better, and it is no wonder that even Gridley felt that only the omniscient light from the wisdom of Heaven itself could penetrate the gloom and darkness of the deviously winding judicial procedure of early times as practiced by the luminaries of a dark legal age.
It is no wonder "there were giants in those days." They had to be. The relations between Bench and Bar in the early period of the Common- wealth after the Revolution were not cordial. The lawyers in their forensic contests manifested little respect for judges, of whom they com- plained for the severity of their manners. Referring to the conduct of Bench and Bar of that time, one writer has said that "a man should go into court with a club in one hand and a speaking trumpet in the other". All this, however, changed gradually with the beginning of the last cen- tury, and has grown to the less complicated, the orderly and dignified practice of the present, where the tendency is increasingly manifest to cast aside with impatience the technical and trivial and to emphasize the human element in seeking the truth and the consequent justice. The rules above quoted seem to have marked the beginning of the regulation by the courts of admissions to the bar, and in 1806 it was provided that no attorney or counsellor should be admitted without a previous exami- nation.

ESSEX COUNTY
The records of the Bench cannot serve as in any sense an enumera- tion of the Bar for, as heretofore stated, to be a lawyer was not all a prerequisite to qualification as a judge, and many there were who were far from qualified, and no distinction appears to have been made be- tween those who were and such as were not.
The earliest record of admission to the Bar in Essex County appears to be in 1795, and from that time down to the present a more or less complete record has been preserved.
Various attempts to form and keep alive a Bar Association for the county have from time to time been made. This effort dates from 1806, when the first Bar Association was formed. It appears from the records that there were then twenty-seven members of the Bar in the County, viz: Salem-Elisha Mack, Benjamin R. Nichols, William Prescott, Sam- uel Putnam, John Prince, Jr., John Pickering, Jr., Joseph Storey, Samuel Swett, Leverett Saltonstall, Joseph Sprague, Jr. Newburyport-Wil- liam P. Bannister, Joseph Dana, Samuel L. Knapp, Edward St. Loe Liver- more, Edward Little, Ebenezer Mosely, Moody Noyes, Daniel A. White. Haverhill-Stephen Minott, John Varnum. Gloucester-Lonson Nash, Nathan Bruce. Marblehead, Ralph H. French. Ipswich, Asa Andrews. Beverly, Nathan Dane. Andover, Samuel Farrar. Lynn, John Stuart.
The purpose of the formation of the Association may be partly at least discerned since at an adjournment of the first annual meeting of the Bar Association a committee reported (and the report adopted) a fee bill. Modern lawyers may justifiably raise their eyebrows in the perusal of this schedule of charges. Writ varying with amount involved, four to six dollars ; real actions, six dollars ; divorce, twenty-five dollars; petition for naturalization, five dollars; will, five dollars; argument in Court of Common Pleas, fifteen dollars; in Supreme Judicial Court, twenty-five dollars ; Bill in Equity, same as writ. And it was provided in the by-laws that any member not conforming to the fee bill shall be guilty of unprofessional conduct and improper practice tending to the scandal of the profession. A complete set of rules governing attorneys and counsellors was adopted in 1806, among which is a prohibition against attorneys acting as counsellors, and making all attorneys who have been admitted three years prior, counsellors. They further required an ex- amination before admission as attorneys or counsellors, and provided for the appointment from among the barristers and counsellors of a com- petent number of examiners, any two of whom could conduct an exami- nation and issue a certificate of qualification or rejection, with right of appeal to a justice of the court who could then conduct a second exami- nation and confirm or reverse the determination of the examiners. A re- quirement of admission of attorneys provided, "all such as have, besides a good school education, devoted seven years at the least to literary acquisitions, and three years thereof at least in the office and under the instruction of a Barrister or Counsellor practicing in this court. Any
851
BENCH AND BAR
person who has been admitted as an attorney and as such practiced two years may be a candidate for admission as barrister and examined there- for."
The first Association lasted until about 1812, and since then lapsed into extinction to be revived again in 1831, when a new association was formed with Leverett Saltonstall as president, with fifty members con- stituting the Bar of the county. This, too, went out of existence shortly after its birth, and there was no revival unil 1856, when the present Bar Association was formed at the "new Court House at Lawrence." Its presidents have been: Otis P. Lord, of Salem, 1856-7; Asahel Hunting- ton, of Salem, 1859; W. C. Endicott, of Salem, 1869; Stephen B. Ives, Jr., 1873; William D. Northend, 1879; Elbredge Burley, of Lawrence, 1890; Henry P. Moulton, of Salem, 1896; William H. Niles, of Lynn, 1902; John P. Sweeney, of Lawrence, 1915; Starr Parsons, of Lynn, 1916; Michael L. Sullivan, of Salem, 1920. The president of the Bar Association in 1922 is Michael L. Sullivan, Esquire, of Salem.
The following is a copy of the names appearing in the "Bar Book" so-called, kept in the office of the Clerk of the Courts. This is the book which all members of the Bar admitted in Essex County have signed sub- scribing the oath of admission since 1806. It does not contain the names of all the practising attorneys of the county since, of course, many were admitted elsewhere and removed to the county.
Prior to 1897, examinations for admission to the Bar were conducted by county boards of examiners appointed from among the members of the Bar of each county, but that year, by act of the Legislature, it was pro- vided that the Supreme Judicial Court should appoint five members of the Bar, each from a different county, who should constitute the board for the whole Commonwealth. Petitions for admission can still be filed in the Supreme Judicial and Superior Courts, but as a matter of practice by far the greater number are filed in the Supreme Court in Suffolk County and admissions made there. This easily accounts for the smaller number who of late years have entered their names in the "Bar Book":
