ESTABLISHMENT OF THE INNS.

lrf ancient times the profession of law was
restricted TO the Holy Orders, cardinals, bish-
ops and abbots occupying the bench. while
priests and monks Glled the Office OF attorney.
But at the beginning Of the thirteenth, century
the clergy prohibited by canon from prac-
tising law. or from administering justice in the
temporal courts and the result of the report
issued by q royal commission appointed by King
Edward TO devise means for meeting the diff
ficulty created by these limitations placed by
the Church Inns selected in the prox-
tmity OF the courts, where students apt and
eager" recruited either from the metropolis ror
from the provinces could be housed while study
ing the law and listening to the arguments and
decisions in the various tribunals.
These Inns Were in fact SO many seminaries
for students OF law, and just because their in
mates received their principal instruction i'm ,ho
courts were designated inns OF Court" Tbus
organized on the collegiate principle. the Inns
OF Court prospered under the supervision and
protection Of the Crown, which invested tben
with all sorts of privileges chief among which
IS the monopoly OF issuing the licenses 10 n,ae
fise law AT the bar Formerly there wers
number OF Inns. But now the larger ones have
absorbed those Of minor importance, and there

MEMBERS OF THE FOUR INNS.

The members of each of the four Inns OF
Court consist of the Benchers, the barristers and
! the students. The Benchers are the governing
bodies of the four Inns, and are composed of the
senior members. self-eected and unrestricted
to numbers Thus, the Board of Benchers at
Grays Inn does not exceed twenty, whereas at
Lincolns Inn they exceed threescore and ten.
Their powers are practically without limit in
their respective locieties, while their particular
responsibilities are the superintendent and
management of the concerns of the Inn, the ad-
mission of candidates students, the passing
upon their antecedents. the calling of them to
the bar and the exercise of discipline generally
over ali 4e members The meeting of the
Benchers denominated parliament in the
Inner and Middle Temple, pension in Grays
Inn and council in Lincolns Inn. The pre-
siding officer is the treasurer. of the Bench
ers being elected annually to the dignity.
Considerable discrimination is exercised with
regard TO the status of the candidates for ad-
mission to the various Inns. and consequently
TO prao at the bar, and the Benchers have
the right of rejecting any applicant. with or
without cause assigned. As general rule the
Inns of Court close their doors to men who
have been bankrupt, who connected with
any trade. else who have been guilty of any
misconduct, not necessarily a breach of the law
but which is calculated TO affect the claims of
the members of the bar TO the official designa-
ton as Gentleman" and Esquire Moreover,
the Benchers have the right 70 expel from their
Inn any one of the members thereof who. in
Il ir opini IN. has been guilty of dishonorable
beha vior and inasmuch the legal practice in
all the superior courts of law in the realm is
strictly limited To members OF one of the four
Inns of Court, a barristers expulsion from his
Inn means that he is virtually dsbarred. since
no longer enjoys the right of pleading. Let
me add that membership in an Inn of Court IS
an indispensable qualification for every Judge
p OF the superior courts of law and equity,
both in the United Kingdom and in the colonies,
and indeed is regarded indispensable quail
iiication for nearly all offices of judicial char
acter.

They have combined in framing and enforcing
regulations having for their end preliminary
examination for admission to an Inn, the keep

vate classes and, finally. an examination OF
graduation on the strength of which the student
receives his call to the bar
The studies and examinations are superin-
tended and controlled by council of legal edu-
cation. consisting of twenty Benchers, nominated
in equal numbers by each Inn, and by perma-

appointed by and taken from the council itself.
