mination upon the subject of the elementary course
of lectures on the same head ; and no student is to
be admitted for examination on the subject of the
elementary course of lectures, on any of the last
mentioned heads, after he shall have kept more than
eight terms, or for examination on any of the sub-
jects, after he shall have kept all his terms, unless
in either case the Council of Legal Education shall
for special reasons think fit to allow the same.

In order to encourage the students, exhibitions of
the respective values hereinafter mentioned are to
be conferred upon the most distinguished students
in the examinations in July:—
" That five of such exhibitions shall be given to
members of the advanced classes in the common law,
in the law of real property, and in equity, and the
most proficient among the students in jurisprudence,
the civil 1 tve, and international law, and in consti-
tutional law
and legal history, every year ; and be
30 guineas a year,
to endure for two years, making
10 running at one time. That three of such exhi-
bitions shall be given to members of the ele-
mentary classes in the common law, in the law of
real property, and in equity, and be 20 guineas a
year, to endure for two years, making six running
at the same time, but to merge on the acquisition of
a superior studentship. That all the students
attending the lectures of any of the readers shall
be at liberty to attend the several oral examina-
tions, and that all members of the Inns of Court,
who shall have obtained written orders of admis-
sion from any of the readers, or from any bencher
of any of the societies, shall also be at liberty to
attend such examinations."
Twice every year general examinations will be
held for all such students as may be desirous of
being examined previous to being called to the bar,
conducted by at least two members of the council
aforesaid, jointly with the five readers, and certifi-
cates of having satisfactorily passed such examina-
tion shall be given to such students as shall appear
to be entitled thereto. Such examinations are to be
held in or shortly before Michaelmas, or in or shortly
before Trinity term.
Regulation 46 states that—" As an inducement
to students to propose themselves for such exami-
nation, studentships and exhibitions shall be founded
of 50 guineas per annum each and 25 guineas per
annum each respectively, to continue for a period of
three
years, and one such studentship shall be con-
ferred on the most distinguished student at each
general examination, and one such exhibition shall
be conferred on the student who obtains the second
position ; and further, the examiners shall select
and certify the names of three other students who
shall have passed the next best examinations, and
the Inns of Court to which such students as afore-
said belong may, if desired, dispense with any terms
not exceeding two, that may remain to be kept
by such students previously to their being called
to the bar. Provided that the examiners shall not be
obliged to conf3r or grant any studentship,exhibition ,
or certificate, unless they shall be of opinion that the
examination of the students has been such as en-
titles them thereto."

Students who have passed the examination afore•
said, or who have obtained a studentship, an exhi-
bition at such examination or a certificate of honour
are to take rink in seniority over all other students
who shall be called on the same day. The stipends
to readers, the expenses of the studentships, exa-
miners, exhibitions, &c., are to be defrayed from a
common fund to be formed by contributions from the
several Inns of Court in proportions to be agreed
❑pon.
