ID School will commence On the LIST of Decem-
Der next, and terminate on the 18th of korE The
plan OF instruction will embrace a course Of lee
ture few practical works, frequent examina-
tions and a moot-conrt. The object being to i'm
part such information is most useful TO young
gentlemen at the commence of their Or, fass
| lonal career, great pains will be taken to make
them familiar with the rules of practice the prins
c'ples and forms OF pleading and the i'm
portant doctrines of the law of evidence The
moot-court found highly advontapeous al the
last Session. and it is hoped will be rendered still
more SO at the next by the employment of a re-
gular clerk, to be elected and compensated for his
services by the pupils, In this mimic tribunal
suits both at common law and in equity will be
prosecuted and defended through the different sta.
ges, formal record kept of the procee dihgs and
the peadings so directed TO present for discuss
ION and decision, questions of novelty or difficulty
suggested by the lectures. The use of law H.
brary attached to the school and owned by an as
ISOLATION of gentlemen may be had for moderate
compensation. The department of Medical Jurs-
prudence will again be conducted by DR.. a. Wad-
del. gentleman of emnence in his profession
whose instructive and entertaining lectures were
received with entire appreciation by his class
the last session.
The utility of Law Schools has been we'll tested
by experience and the only objection to which
they are liable - tho dissipation by which they are
! sometimes infested. The subscriber earnestly re-
quests that no one whose habits have been at all
irregular will think of Joining his school His in

their studies with ardor aud perseverance,; and
those who attend will be considered under an no.
nUrary engagement to conduct themselves with
perfect decorum, and abstain altogether from the
use of intoxicating liquors and every species of
gaming.
