As we stand in this day of our nation’s prosperity facing the temptations which attend national wealth one of the surest guarantees against the descending course which so often follows an abundance of wealth is the highest integrity on the part of that profession which has Bost to do with the making of the law and by far the most to do with the administering of justice."98 THE CRIMINAL LAW JOIIR [...] Bacon -saye Power to do good is the true end of aspiring." Without underestimating the great worth of the medical or other profesions the opportunity to serve in the capacity of protecting individual liberties against the encroachment of men or laws affords widest scope for the realization of the Baconian ideal and is so invaluable to society as to imply obligations of great magnitude. [...] The common instances however of violations of fiduciary obligations revealed by the recent exposures of the illegalities of corp..rations charged with the highest duties to the people only illustrate the old truth that the greater the influence a position of responsibility can exert the greater a menace it becomes when unscrpulously used. [...] But while as a matter of abstract ethics the duty of the lawyer should be to co-operate with the State in the preservation of order yet it is pehaps well for all that the lawyer has never been remarkable for the amount of zeal displayed in supporting the State in the infliction of punishment. [...] In Reily v. The King-Emperor (12) it has been pointed out that if after the granting of sanction in case of perjury a Court of Session proceeds to take action under setion 477 of the Code of Criminal Procedure it nlust in the first instance frame a charge so as to enable the accused to know of the exact nature of the offence he is alleged to have committed.
