BAR TOUTING. The Times, some days since, jocularly compared the learned gentlemen of the bar at Westminster-hall, to the gentlemen of the whip on a cab-stand, where they wait for fares. Touting" however, the Times said, or active exertions to get a fare, was not allowed at the bar; and, in so far, the bar was more digni- lied than the whip. The Times, however, has been forced tcf confess its error. It hasn't apologised to the cabmen as yet; but it should. The bar touts upon occasions with wonderful activity; the gallant fel- lows have been at work for the last fortnight, canvassing for the vacant judgeships of the Courts of Request, as the following different appeals will show:- THE GENTEEL CANVASS. Mr. Frederic Figtree solicits your vote and interest. His connections with Westminster are of long date. He was edu- cated at Westminster school. His uncle was a canon of West- minster, and his grandmother, the Hon. Mrs. Figtree, occupied for thirty-eight years a house in Great George-street. Mr. Figtree is a member of the Western Circuit, and in the year 1822, his first circuit, held a brief in the case of Snooks e. Snobby. He has occupied chambers on the third floor for twenty- three years, during which time he has eaten two thousand four hundred and eleven dinners in hall, has paid nine hundred and sixty pounds rent, and has never been in arrears to his clerk or laundress. Mr. Figtree flatters himself he is a gentleman by birth and education. He has never had any connection with the press, which he heartily despises, and voted for the banishment of reporters from the bar-mess. "Having thus upheld the dignity of his profession during a period of nearly a quarter of a century, Mr. Figtree offers him- telf to notice as a person, qualified to hoid the office of Judge of the Westminster Court of Requests. He has the honour of subjoining the following testimonial c.. From Mr. Justice Humdrum. My dear Figtree-I am delighted to give any testimony I can in your favour. To my certain knowledge you travelled 33,000 miles on circuit, always in a post chaise; and during that period you have ever conducted yourself as a man of honour and 0 gentleman.
