State, a certificate from which will be authority
to practice 10. such States, was read. 1t noted
previous efforts in that respect, and charged the

late an address to the profession. in which the
true inwardness of all such legislation shall be
carefully shown up. The committee appointed

sors Hasty, Comings and Davidson.
