How much do successful barristers make in a year? Some particulars given throw some light on the question. It is commonly said that Sir Charles Russell never made less than L20,000 or L25.000 per annum for many years preceding hls promotion. Large as hls income was, there were half a dozen men at the bar running it very close, says a London paper. Both Sir Richard Webster and Sir Edward Clarke are making fully L20,000 a year, and men like R. B. Finlay, Sir Henry James, J. T. Murphy, Lawson Walton, Fielding Dickens, W. Willis, Cozens Hardy, Graham Hastings and others are credited with almost equally large earnings. But most Q. C.'s are, of course, very much less fortĂșnate. There are large and small incomes also among members of the junior bar. Men like English Harvison and R. M. Bray are, the writer of the article says, kept actively engaged with good and remunerative work, bringing in from L1,000 to L5,000 a yeari but probably half of the men at thĂ© Junior bar are not making L150 a year, while many men of the highest attainments are not making, and have not made for years past, L50 a year.
