' TO OUR

&DOUBLE ROUSER of the EXPRESS •hill
%,u1 ON SATURDAYS.

We regret to find from the Annerter-Gmences
answer to Mr. Wonsan's question last night, that
Government have no intention of bringing forward
a Bill this SWAMI for carrying into effect the room-
ammdationa of the Commissioners of 18.55 on the
sailect of Legal Education. The reason tangoed
for this delay neatly appears to be no reason at all.
The Inner and /fiddle Temples are, es we recently
intimated, prepared at once to institute a east-
palmy examinants: Lincoln's-inn and Cray's-
inn are nett alma the subject is to remain
in section hr asedser Beenea. We fail to see
the link between the pianism and the conclusion.
The only thing that appose certain in the
lodes le this, that it Chweenneent declines to act till
these or herned Beelines an unanimous in the
metier, the bangeraden of any effeetive scheme of
adman= ter the higher branch of the legal profs.
mien nay be regarded r indefinitely postponed.
It may be as well just to remind our readers how
the Leta stand. For that branch of the legal pro-
haiku consisting of Attorneys and Solicitors, a very
excellent and effective system of compulsory educa-
tion has been for some time in operation, with
the most signal benefit to the general status
and professional qualifications of than who are
brought under its operation. No young man can
now take oat • certificate ea an Attorney
or Solicitor without having passed such an examina-
tion in law us supplies an effectual guarantee that
he has a competent knowledge of the protection in
whisk he proceeds to practise. With the Bar the
came is differeut. In that breech of the profession
from which are derived all the more responsible ad-
ministrators of our law—home and colonial—no
steps whatever are taken for ascertaining, by the
test of examination, whether they possess any and
what qualifications for the functions they may
hereafter be called on to fulfil. For the majo-
rity of theme aloes, which in number and
importance are trontinually increasing, seven
yaws' berristratiee is the statutable site qui
are; but there is nothing, apart from the test of
actual practice in this country--a test often not
seerted to, and, in the case of colonial appointments,
at best very tellasine—to show how far a seven
years' standing et the Bar is, or is net, a valid quali-
fied's& he ales Tins le a state of things utterly
napernßeled in my other country, and calculated to
Illsete a very well-grounded public anxiety. It is a
Matter not of private but of public concern. It is
sets it cannot be, a swain in whisk four private
Sheieties like the bus elt Coen can is entitled to
eie exclusive right of judgment. The question is one
of Imperial daftness. That the laws should be well
adndaistered theengbirat the whole range of the
Bit deminlese is a point of vital interest to the
Brine Legislature. In the present state of legal
} marries and with the existing multiplicity of minor
Winn appointments the only effective way of pro-
viding for this moat important point is the inhtitn-
ties et a irmapahory examination, so wide in its
range and eo stringent in its requirements as to fur-
nish something like a real security that men of in-
etnnetest Amewiedge and imperfect training shall
no kings be estrested,as they too often have been,
with the reerehe of judicial functions either abroad
or at bans. The claim of the Benchers of the
Four Inas at Court to interpose, by virtue of their
monopoly, in the manufacture of barristers, between
the public requirements and their accomplishment,
is simply a repetition of the old obstructions which
all corporate bodies, especially when mixed up with
education, have ever opposed to the prover of
reform.

Let the palsy emaider for a moment how this
matter steels. In every eivilised country bat oar
own compulsory examination is absolutely necessary
as • preliminary qualification for the practice of M-
emory. Up to 1861 all that was required of the
Haiti& Barrister was that he should have kept a me-
taro number el tonne by eating a certain number of
dinner'. rhea ems the institution of Readerships '
with an opdassl emadastkai, which has merely added
the necessity of pang a specified number of hours
in a lecture roam to that of consuming a specified
number of emirs in Hall. The Commissioners,
whose siaberste Report was published in 1836, were
11111.6M1111 fa their ems cation of this miserable
mmitery of legal sessatim. They were squally
wemenens is the reammiendadon of changes which
would bare siestod • great improvement on any-
thin we have lathed, bad, sad have laid broad and
ding the hundation something like an
admaste seam of legal aeration. The Four
Inns of Court were to be easetituted into a legal
University, under the style of " The Chancellor,
Banisters, and Masters of Law." A Senate of 32
members, eight from each Inn of Court, was to
form the governing body. There were to be two
di&vent descriptions of examination—the first, proli-
miniry to being admitted to studentship; the
second, preliminary to being called to the Bar. The
range of this second examination was to be liberal
and eempreicenalve. It was to embrace, in one branch,
Public or Constitational Law, and Legal History—
lariepradmee—the Roman Gird Law. In seethe
bleach were to be included Common Law, Equity,
and the Law of Real Property. A satisfactory
eximinatles la some one subject oat of each of the
above brandies was requisite for a pus or SIMINIIIII
kgal degree ; prelleioney in all the subjects etellior
branch was to ensure a certificate of knaset

had thas WiseMlyremiprOnvided. Neerty two years hav,e
passed since this Report was signed; things have
ever sines /ermined is stets : the two Temples
have, we are told, shown a disposition to
follow the advice of the Coonaimionere ;
coln's inn and Gray's-hush/mg beck ; whereupon the
conclusion of her MAJ WITT'S Arrotin -Geri zest is,
that the time for legislative action has not yet arrived.
" Seeing that the matter has* occupied the attention
of the Societies, and believing that they were actu-
ated by a desire to do that which was right, the Go-
vernment do not propose to take any steps during
the ensuing Bunion." A conclusion lee borne out
by the prisinises—a belief with a more slender foun-
dation of dect—bas not often been announced, even
by an Attorney-General. It is plain that this is to
be tan &mien of promises ; is it quite so clear that
the next will be a Session of performances P Noss

Tax discussion in the House of Lords last night
of the Details of the Divorce Bill will naturally be
regarded with deep interest by all who seriously de-
sire the reform of the most anomalous and obsolete
branch of our national jurisprudence. The gravity
of the subject in its permanent and what may be
called its remote bearings cannot be exaggerated.
tt involves considerations of individual hardship
<sly equalled by those of class injustice, and of
national demoralisation, which might well engage
the best attention of the beet and ablest men. And
truth to say, we cannot complain that there has
been any want of each attention manifested by
the numerous persona of talent and of learning who
constitute the legislative pillars of the Upper House.
The venerable LYNDHURST, facile prises" was in
his plies to urge the polioy and propriety of making
the change in the law effectual, if change there was
to be at all. Lords GREY and DEIST laid wide for
once their habitual character of political pardons,
and vied with each other in the praiseworthy ether
your to improve the project of law r introduced by
the CHANCELLOR. Lords WINSLETDALE, CAME-
HELL, and ST. LEO:YARDS, took more or less promi-
nent parts in debate ; and more than one of
the Bishop, remembering the injunction of the
Levities' MAN that no man, whether layman er
mime. Mail mine is the place of offering empty,
beright mesellee eratribations to the general
stock demeadatory wig Nagar.
A gad deal of immalintity and crudeness is, in-
deed, observable thimble& The eateset is an old
one, but the peached ffilirffilt to dal with it in the
country is comparative" new. Weiesathei

course allude to presmilims like that el dis Duke
of NoaPOLK, who seem le have merely Awed him-
self to be put forward as the mouthpiece of the old
and unchangeable spirit of medieval Catholicity, and
whore request that the Bill might be referred to a oder
committee to Inquire and report upon its compatibility
with the Christian religion was rejected summarily,
as it deserved to be by a predominantly Protestant
assembly, as a palpably anti-Protestant proposal.
We allude rather, as an example of our meaning, to
the clauses brought forward by way of amendment
to the Bill, by Lord Sr. LEONARDE, to provide soar
cheap and peremptory mode of redress and protec-
tion for a wife who, having been deserted by the
father of her children, bas accumulated by her in-
dustry a little store es provision for herself and
them, and who has cause to apprehend
that the brutal and rapacious husband may
return and despoil her of her humble earnings.
Every speaker in succession gave the author of this
suggestion ample credit for its good intention. But
with characteristic tenacity Lord CaANHORTH ap-
pears to have laboured only to show that the clauses
were badly framed, which it was, indeed, not diffi•
cult to do, for worse specimens of legislative joinery
were never turned out of 'prentice hands; and
where SO skilled a workman as Lord ST. LEONARDS
could have picked them up it is marvellous to
conjecture. Lord GREY objected, wisely, as
we think, to giving a single magistrate the
power of issuing what was truly described as
oplealent to an injunction against the worthless
baskand, and which, though often right and just,
right sometimes be granted on very insufficient
pi
a di. He pointed out instead the County Court
as a functionary to whom primed facie
It would be much safer to entrust so novel,
and no doubt difficult, a jurisdiction. Ho
had previously dwelt, though hardly, we
think, at sufficient length, on what is the cardinal
fault of the scheme, namely, that the tribunal which
it is proposed to constitute far the trial of marital
rights will be too high, too distant, and too costly, to
be available to the mass of the community. We
are sorry to say that his views found but few sup-
porter., although no one appears to have attempted
to meet them in argument save the CHANCELLOR
and the CHIEF JUSTICE, who both failed in the
endeavour. The Peers, when parting with their
aristocratic usurpation of judicature, prefer, per-
haps, to retain as expensive a court as possi-
ble under the eireametsnees for the rich, and as
irresponsible and orig.:natio a tribunal as possible
for the poor. Neverthehns, the changes sought to
be made are both steps onward, and very consider-
able steps too ; and we mast not be ungrateful for
what we have so lens been waiting to receive.
