Education there was no preliminary test whatever of the intellectual capacity or attainments of a barrister; any person (provided he were not guilty of impropriety of conduct, and complied with some special provisions) might, by simply making certain payments, and dining a certain number of terms in the hall of one of the four inns of court, become a barrister. The Inner Temple alone, for a short period, had required a preliminary classical examination before a student was admitted to the inn. This system was considered by the inn to be highly beneficial, but was discontinued after a few years, by reason of the same course not having been adopted by the other societies. At present the system pursued is as follows: There is no preliminary examination for the admission of students. The four inns of court have provided five readers, who receive a salary of three hundred guineas each. Each inn pays the salary of one reader, and contributes to the expenses of the fifth or remaining reader. The students pay a fee of five guineas on admission to an inn, which entitles them to attend the lectures of all the readers. These readers deliver lectures in constitutional law and legal history, civil law and jurisprudence, common law, equity, and the law of real property, and hold also evening classes for those who are willing to attend them. The students pay an additional fee, not exceeding three guineas in the whole, for being admitted to these classes. No student can be called to the bar unless he have attended during one whole year the lectures of two readers at least, or have submitted himself to public examination; but here all effort to enforce the acquirement of information ceases. In order, however, to encourage a course of study, a voluntary examination has been instituted, which takes place three times a year; and a studentship of fifty guineas a year, to be held for three years, has been founded by the inns of court, which is conferred on the most distinguished student at each examination. Three other students may be selected by the Council of Legal Education as having passed the next best examination, and to these a certificate is given, which exempts them from keeping two terms prior to their call. Certificates of having satisfactorily passed the examination are also conferred on such other students as the Council consider entitled to receive them; and persons desirous of being relieved from attendance at lectures have the option of passing this voluntary examination as an alternative. It will be obvious that no test whatever of the acquirements of those who are to be called to the bar has been provided by this system, except in the case of those who voluntarily submit themselves to examination, and who are probably those with regard to whom a test is least required. The attendance on lectures affords the opportunity of acquiring information, but not a test of its acquisition. Further than this, we may remark, that the voluntary examination is confined to the subjects on which the readers deliver lectures; and although no student thoroughly destitute of learning could successfully pass the examination, yet it appears by the evidence that candidates, who have been on the whole sufficiently well informed in purely professional matters to pass the examination, have yet displayed gross ignorance in a subject so nearly connected with it as the legal history of their country. quired to pass an examination before they are permitted to practise. In the navy and army a like examination of officers is required before they are entitled to their first commission, and also before a lieutenancy in the one or a captaincy in the other is attained. In every other country in Europe an educational test is applied to advocates, either by requiring a degree in law at a university, or else by a distinct professional examination. In Scotland the Faculty of Advocates have so recently as in the last year required a test both of general and professional knowledge. In arriving at this conclusion with respect to the necessity of a test we desire to be understood as not disparaging or undervaluing the present system of practical study in a barrister's chambers, which must be admitted to be very efficient in fitting the student for the active duties of his profession; it affords, however, no facilities for the study of the scientific branches of legal knowledge, including under that term constitutional law and legal history, and civil law and jurisprudence. Some knowledge of these subjects must be useful to the barrister, not only as an advocate, but as a judge, and especially if he should be appointed to any judicial office in India or in the colonies; and although, during the ordinary period of preparation for the bar, it would probably be found impracticable to obtain an entire acquaintance with them without sacrificing objects more immediately pressing, yet there would be time enough to lay the foundation of this knowledge, which might be completed after the student should have been called to the bar, and before his time became wholly absorbed by practice. By mastering principles, the student becomes more interested in, and obtains a steadier grasp of, practical details. The most convenient method of acquiring knowledge of these subjects is by lectures, followed by examination applicable both to the lectures and to the subjects generally. With respect to the practical branches of the law-that is to say, common law, equity, and conveyancing-although the knowledge of them will for the most part be best acquired in the chambers of the barrister or conveyancer, yet lectures on the principles of these subjects, combined with private study, afford important assistance to the student, and the prospect of an examination in them would be an useful stimulus to pupils studying in chambers-a stimulus the more necessary when we have regard to the length of time which elapses between the commencement of study and professional practice. Moreover, the barrister or conveyancer having pupils would feel that he had an interest in their success at the examinations, and would be desirous, even more than at present, of giving systematic instruction in the law, considered as a science. It cannot be doubted that if a pupil, before going as such to the chambers of a barrister, should study under a reader the principles of the branch of law to which he is about to address himself, he would derive far more advantage from his period of pupilage than if he went there without such previous preparation. Such instruction under a reader would not necessarily disturb the present system of pupilage in chambers, if the lectures should be given at convenient times, and if the examinations should be so regulated as to enable, not We have hitherto considered the question of the edu-only those who attend lectures, but those who dilication of a barrister on general principles, and on those grounds alone have come to the conclusion that there ought to be a test both of the general and the professional knowledge of every candidate for the bar. But we are fortified in this conclusion when we look to the course adopted by the other learned professions, as well as in the subordinate branch of the law. The clergyman, the physician, the surgeon, the apothecary, as well as the attorney or solicitor, are all re gently attend chambers, to pass, and to obtain distinctions and prizes. With this view, the questions at examinations might be so framed as on the one hand to test the knowledge which has been derived by those students who have attended the lectures, and on the other hand to test the knowledge of the subject which has been acquired in any other manner.
