14. If the examiners or the majority of them present at any such final examination find that the candidate is fit, he shall be admitted to practise accordingly; but if they or the said majority find that he is not fit or come to no finding, the candidate may, on his petition to the Court, be heard in support of his qualification and claim to such admission; and if the Court grants the prayer of his petition, he shall be admitted accordingly, notwithstanding any such finding or want of finding as aforesaid.

16. Every candidate for admission as a solicitor shall give one month's notice in writing to the Registrar of his intention to apply for examination and admission, and shall cause a like notice to be inserted three times in the Gazette and in a public newspaper of the Colony: Provided always that the Chief Justice may, on any special grounds, make an order dispensing with all or any of the formalities prescribed by this section.
