be Authorised to is tit hope—
.sit4erf of certain merely formal),..
the condition requir of attendance on dinners,.
mars a very distinct exercise of such power, whatever-.
be thought of the manner in which it is exercised.
" 19. That the appointment or revocation of the Pro- •
fessors should be left to the governing bodies of the
respective inns, as well as their endowment ; that the
endowment should be partly paid by salary and partly by
fees, thus combining independence with motives for
exertion ; the number of lectures regulated as well as
hours when given, on the joint arrangement of the
several inns, and with reference to the subjects and
attendance on lectures.

"20. That it would be advisable to begin with the
great branches only of the law, but highly desirable, as
the system advanced, to add such other Chairs as in the
first instance the exigencies of the profession itself
required, and, in the next, as might be of utility to the
profession and to the public generally, such Chairs of
International, Colonial, Constitutional, Law, Medical
Jurisprudence, Municipal, and Administrative Law, &c.
" 21. That the final examination should be left to a
body of Examiners, appointed by the Inns in common,
and selected from each of them respectively, with the
cognizance and approval of the Judges.
" 22. That all matters of common nature might with
advantage be discussed, adopted, and executed by a joint
body, elected from the Benchers of the several Inns for
this purpose.
" 23. That to give the same constitution and character
to the Society of the King's Inn, Dublin, to which
analagous duties and powers should be entrusted, it
would be advisable that it should previously be incor-
porated, but so 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 how far optional, to
be determined by common consent, 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 reqnired
in proof of a sound general education having been gone
through previous to admission to apprenticeship.
26. Thrit for the further education of the solicitor,
it would be highly advisable he should also have, even
whilst 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 member.

" 27. That to rendermore beneficial societies which me•
bye the dosiale,pexpDste of surveillance over the pro-
fession and of instruction, it would be' advisable fi keep
the purposes distinct, and to adopt, in the appointment
of professors, rules analagous 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 examine-
don, and that the final examination, as a condition for
admitting to the profession, should be conducted more
in reference to general priuciples than technicalties (as
appears now to be the case) by enlarging and improving
the examination papers, and calling in some of the ex-
aminers of the Inns of Court.

" That it should be in the power either 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."
