On this bill the same struggle was renewed which
was gone over the other day, namely, shall all
attorneys who had license to practice in the District
Courts, be permitted to practice IN the Superior
Courts without further examination!
Mr. TYLER opposed the practice of allowing any
attorney to practice unless he could into the
Superior Court and pass an examination in omen
Court. There large number of attorneys, he
sai! who We're not fit to practice, who dis
grace to the profession, and who knew nothing
whatever, and he was in favor I the amendment
proposed by the committee, that they be made to
stand an examination.
The amendment was adopted, and the section
