HILARY TERM, 6 WILL. IV.

EXAMINATION AND RE-ADMISSION OF ATTORNEYS.

1st. WHEREAS, by the statute 4 Hen. IV. c. 18, it was enacted, " that all the attorneys shall be examined by the justices, and by their discretions their names put on the roll, and they that be good and vertuous, and of good fame, shall be received, and sworn well and truly to serve in their offices." And whereas by the statute 3 Jac. I. c. 7, s. 2, it was enacted, "that none shall from henceforth be admitted attorneys in any of the king's Courts of Record, but such as have been brought up in the same Courts, or otherwise well practised in soliciting of causes, and have been found by their dealings to be skilful and of honest disposition; and that none be suffered to solicit any cause or causes in any of the Courts aforesaid, but only such as are known to be men of sufficient and honest disposition." And whereas, by a rule made in Michaelmas Term, 1654, in the Courts of King's Bench and Common Pleas, it was ordered," that the Courts should once in every year in Michaelmas Term, nominate twelve or more able and credible practisers, to continue for the ensuing year to examine such persons as should desire to be admitted attorneys, and appoint convenient times and places for the examination; and the persons desiring to be admitted were first to attend with their proofs of service, then to repair to the persons appointed to examine, and being approved, to be presented to the Court and sworn."

And whereas, in order to carry the last-mentioned statute more fully into effect, it is expedient annually to appoint examiners, subject to the control of the judges, in manner hereinafter mentioned.

It is ordered, that the several masters and prothonotaries for the time being, of the Courts of King's Bench, Common Pleaș, or Exchequer respectively, together with twelve attorneys or solicitors, be appointed by a rule of Court in Easter Term in every year, to be examiners for one year; any five of whom, one whereof to be one of the said masters or prothonotaries, shall be competent to conduct the examination; and that from and after the last
