A clever joke was perpetrated at the ex
peiie or some of our bretbern of the legal
profession, on Wednesday last. Prothono-
tary Heard received by mail, on Tuesday
evening, a package uudi r seal,- which he
opened, and found in it another package
sealed, ami also instructions not to open the
enclosed package until 10 o'clock next tluy
(Wednesday.) in tbe presence of all the
attorneys, whose name appeared on the
outside of the package, for the different
claimants, amounting to sums varying from
8211,000 to $210,000, in all over GOI,000
At the time appointed the attorneys appeared
at the Prothonotury's oflice, excejitiug two,
who were out of town. Mr. Heard nt first
declined opening tbe package on account
of the absenceof some of the attorneys, but
finally, nfter a written notice served upon
him, he consented to do so. The package
was opened, mid the first paper taken out
was a blank sheet, the secoud the same
1'he third and last was then opened, on which
was simply inscribed in large charade:, tl.e
following mysleroiis woids:

The lawyers, before whose vision the fees
on these large snms had loomed up into
thousands, were for once, at least, "taken in."

was chuckling and laughing, as he mentioned
oa lest fortunate member of the profession,
the "sweet little claim" he had received for

would have done no discredit to Chief J ust ice

in delaying the opening nf the sealed pack
