Women can not practise law In the
courts Of England. This doctrine was
recently affirmed by the court of ap-
peal, which decided against Miss G..
M. Bebb In a suit which she had
brought against the Law society and
in which she claimed the right to
practise as a solicitor. The master of
the rolls said that 800 years ago Lord
Coke had expressed the view that
women could not be attorneys, and so
far as this case was concerned, the
master of the rolls said he decided
1t on the ground that at the date Of
the passage of the solicitors act in
1843, there was a disability on the
part of women to be attorneys. The
act had not destroyed the pre-exist-
ing disability. He disclaimed any
right to legislate In the matter. No
doubt many women, and in particular
the present applicant, were in edu-
cation, intelligence and competency SUI
perior to many candidates who would
come up for examination. But with
that the court had nothing to do, The
lord justices concurred and the ap
peal was dismissed.
