(2) The Registrar shall likewise enter the names of the parties
to and the date of such articles or assignment and the term of ser-

articles or assignment as having been so entered, with the date
thereof, and the said book shall be open to public inspection
during office hours without fee or reward.

or, in the case of an assignment, his service shall be suspended
from the expiration of the said period of one month until the
date when such leave is granted, unless the Chief Justice otherwise
