SUPREME CoURT-STATE OF NORTH CARO-
L1NA-SUPREME COURT CLERKS OFFICE
RALEIGH, May 10th 1S69.-This tribunal
as heretofore announced, will commence
its Term on the first Monday (7th) of June
next. In the late announcement of the
order in which the causes from the several
Judicial districts would be called, by mad
vertence. he Sixth district was placed in
the week IL which The Third will be called,
and 1ice UerSa. AS thus corrected, the
causes will be called IS follows:
First and Second Districts on the first week.
Fourth and Fifth +" " second il"
Third and Seventh ' g third &C
Eighth and Ninth s. IS ." fourth ''
Tenth and Eleventh % {" fifth g
Twelfth and Sixth IS So "sixth "
The arguments will close with the sixth
week.
AS there will be no examination OF ap-
plicants for license to practice law, the
causes from tho FIRST district will be
called on the first day Of the term.
For the information of applicants to
practice law, who seem to prefer taking
out license after an examination by the
Supreme Court. it is deemed proper to
state that, under the old law, it was made
the duty of the Judges of the Supreme
Conrt to examine applicants, and license
could not otherwise issue. But, the re-
cent Act, by necessary implication. repeats
the old act-and the Justices of the Court,
under its new organization, have no power
in the premises; and should they examine
an applicant and re Jet him, he could take
out license, Notwithstanding his rejection.
Hence, an examination by the Justices
would be without authority and an idle
form.
By order of the Court:
