be- authorised to impose such regulations; but the
sition of certain exercises (though now 'Merely formal)
and the condition required of attendance on runners,
seems a very distinct exercise of such powrr, whatevel
,may be thought of the manner in which it is exercised.
" 19. That the appointinet4 nr revocation of the Prc.
fessors should be lest to 'the governing bodies of th,'
respective inns, as well as their: endowment ' • that tho,
endowment should be partly paid by salary and partly by
fees, thus combining independence with motives tot
exertion ; the number of lectures regulated as well a:
hours when given, on the joint arrangement of the
several inns, and with reference to the subject*, and
attendance on lectures.
"20. That it would be advisable to begin with the
great branches only of the law, but highly desirable, a;
the system advanced, to add such other Chairs as in the
first instance the exigencies of the profession itsel'
required, and, in the next, as might be of utility to the
profession and to the public gene: ally, such Chairs of
Jnternational, Coloniac Constitutional, Law, Medics,
'Unri,prudence, Municipal,' and Administrative Law, Ice
" 21. That the :final examination should ho.left to f.
b, dy of Exalh:it:crs, appc.i;.tecl by the'lntis-i4-Otemon
tel set creel from each of ll:ein rOspec•i‘e'y, %%it'll the

22. That all matters. of couln:9::..Tatu: e might with
i advantage be discussed.; adopted, and.executed by a joint
i body, elected from the Benc-hers of the several Itws for
this purpose.
`` 23. That to givethe same constitution any c:4 :artteter
to the Sueie:y of tl!e King's Inn, Dublin, to which
anal' gous duties and powers should be entrusted, it
would be advisable that it should previously be it,cor-
poratod, btrt- as to guard and secure the relative
rights and obligations of the two branches of the pro-
fession.

" 24• That it Would be highly advisable to substitute
for attendance on Term Dinners in the several Inns,
attendance on Term Lectures, the number and nature of
which, and how far obligatory, and Low far optional, to
be determined by common content, and on an uniform,
plan; and that students in England and Ireland should
be entitled to make use of certificates of such attendance,
whether in the Inns here or in Ireland, as qualifying
them (other conditions being also fulfilled), equally, for
admission to the bar.

" 27. That in providing for the special legal education
of the solicitor, a stringent examination should be regnired
in proof of a sound general education having been gone
through previous to admission to apprenticeship.
"26. That for the further education of the solicitor,
it would be highly advisable he should also have, even
whist articled clerk, opportunities for attendance on
certain classes of lectures in the Inns of Court, and also
on others of a nature more special to his own profes-
sion, in the Law Society of which he might happen to
be a membei.

-4‘ 27. That to render more beneficial societies which em•
brace the double purpose of surveillance over the pro-
fession and of instruction, it would be advisable to keep
the purposes distinct, and to adopt, in the appointment
of professors, rules analogous to those recommended to
the Inns of Court.

"28. That the examination of the several courses
which the future solicitor should be required to attend,
should be marked equally by a certificate and examina•
Lion, and that the final examination, as a cunnition for
admitting to the profession, should be conducted more
in reference to general principles than technicalties (as
appears now to be the case) by enlarging and improving
the ,xamination papers, and calling in some of the ex-
aminers of the Inns of Court.

" That it should be in the power ei her of the gcvem-
ing bodies of the Inns of Court, or of the Solicitors'
Societies, to admit the certificates of attendance on lec-
tures in the Universities, to a certain extent, as exempt-
ing from attendance on their own.
" 30. That it might be advisable to found Law Scho-
larships and other endowments, in either the Universities
or the Inns, or both, for the purposes of encouragement.
"31. That annual reports should be made to Parlia-
ment of the state and progress of the system, in all its
bearings.
32. That these arrangements should, as much as
possible, be carried out by common consent and co-
operation.

" 33. That for this purpose delegates should be in-
vited to meet from the Inns of Court, the King's Inn,
and the Solicitors' Societies, Dublin, and communications
for the same purpose should be had with the Universities.
" 34. That in the failure only or neglect of such in-
vitation, or refusal to take active and efficient measures
to carry into operation the reforms proposed, resource
should be had to a Commission, to be composed, how-
ever, partly of legal and partly of official members."

FIGHTING INTELLIGENCE.

The Clare Journal contains the following:—
" An unpleasant occurrence took place at tb-d Quarter
Sessions Court in Kilrush, on Friday. We have been
informed that while Mr. O'Connell, who was engaged in
defending the persons charged with the late outrage upon
Mr. Hill, the Government Inspector, was addressing the
court, Mr. Hill, who was on the bench, was observed to
laugh more than once at the observations made. Mr.
O'Connell, addressing Mr. Hill, asked if he were laugh-
ing at him. The reply was, that indeed he was lauglAng
at his foolish observations. Mr. O'Connell observed in
reply that that was language that he would nut suffer to
pass with iun:unity eisewnere, and that he should notice
it out of court. The barrister, atter somtl obsemi,tions,
called upon both gentlemt.n to enter into t ectirities to
i keep the peace. Mr. Hill said that ht, did not intend
that the matter shun d proceed farther, and pledged him..
self to that ttf,ct. Mr. O'Coi.titil did the saint., but the
barrister insisted that he (Mr. O'Connell) should enter
recognizances, hims,ll in 2001., and two sureties iris
501. each, to keep the p4ace. This Mr.-O'Connell pereutp.
torily refused, when Mr. Major desired the sheriff
rake Mr. O'Connell into custody ; and the sheriff ?..e.
toiling a commttal, it was drawn up, and Mr. O'Con.
ue I was sent to Brdewell, where he spent the bjet.
