Barristers are different from solicitors. Barristers are experts in the interpretation of the Law. They are called in to advise on really difficult points. The barrister is also an expert on advocacy (the art of presenting cases in Court). If you desire representation in any Court except the Magistrates’ Court, you must have a barrister. If you need a barrister you never see him without your solicitor. Barristers work in so called chambers.

A Case on the road

In the old days a number of people were travelling from Bristol to London. During the long journey the passengers became friendly and didn't hide anything from each other. When the conversation turned upon robbers, a man told he had ten guineas in gold but didn't know where best to hide them. A woman advised him to put them into his boots.

(hide – прятать; robber – грабитель; guinea – 21 shillings – гинея).

Later on really a robber stopped the coach and demanded the money. Then to the astonishment of all others, the woman who had advised to hide her neighbour's money in his boot said: «I have no money, but this man has ten guineas in his boot». «The robber took the ten guineas and left. The robbed man began to accuse the woman of being in league with the robber. But the woman said: «Wait till London and I'll explain the thing to you».

(coach – карета, demand – требовать; accuse – обвинять, be in league with – быть в сговоре)

When they came to London she told that she had had a large sum of money with her and that she had told the man's secret to turn the robber's attention from her. She begged now to excuse her and awarded the man with one hundred pounds.

(beg – умолять; award – наградить; pound – 20 shillings – фунт стерлингов)
