Curiosities of Law and Lawyers (Classic Reprint)Fb&c Limited, 16. 12. 2017 - 798 strán (strany) Excerpt from Curiosities of Law and Lawyers This St. Evona of Brittany, it, is said in Carr's account Of the Netherlands, 1684, was so dejected at the choice Of a patron saint, that in a few months he died, and coming to heaven's gates knocked hard. Whereupon St. Peter asked who it was that knocked so boldly. He replied that he was St. Evona the advocate. Away, away! Said St. Peter; here is but one advocate in heaven; here is no room for you lawyers. Oh, but, said St. Evona, I am that honest lawyer who never took fees on both sides, nor pleaded in a bad cause; nor did I ever set my neighbours together by the ears, nor lived by the sins Of the people. Well, then, said St. Peter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
