WOMEN SOLICITORS.
Major Hills Replies to Some Arguments,
Card Backmaster's bill for the admission of women se solicitore, which passed through the Lords without a division, has met with the obstacle in the Commons that
Bill can be taken that is not a Gromes: meneurs.'
When the Law Society intra daced a Bill of their awa to radus the number of statutory examinations from three two auch year, the Govern-
ment
to
were approached with the view of getting special facilities for Lord Buckmaster's menere. It was pointed out that the Law Society's Bill was based en the fact that there is a shortage of male candidates, and that therefore the case for the admiз- sion of women is overwhelming. Some faint hopes were held out by Mr. Bonar Law that the Government might reconsider the matter. There for the moment the msiter rests."
*The majority of the House of Commons is in favour of the Bill," Major J. W. Hilla, M. P. for Darham City, said in an interview with a representative of the Observer, "and it is rather abenrd. that we should be argaing about it. It is said it is not fair to make this change at a time when most of the young men whose prospects will beaffected are fighting. I feel the force of thia argument, but I desire to any two things in reply to it. la the first place it comes not from the men who are fight- ing, but from those who are not. The second point is this, that it takes at least three years to be come a fully qu'ified solicitor. Rad the restriction been removed at the beginning of the war come women would now be on the rolle.
Maay solicitors' businesses, especially those of the younger saen, are one-man businesses." It would have been so invaluablesd- wantage to many of these young men if a sister or some other wo»» man relation could barê hyen ad- mittel and carried on the business- for shim, I am not at asking at..
random. Ihow use member of a large firm who has gone to the| Ircat bore eister is sormally! taking his place in the basinss -of course, amically-for shej cannot act as a solicitor, but abo is in fact doing the work.
"Some people maintain that women are not fitted for the law, The answer is that it is a free market The public decides whom it employs and whom it does not, and in the wider horizon before Qs I
am quite cortsin that the world will insist apɔg women solicitor because of their epeciel knowledge of problema foting
women."
Recalling that doctors fought bitterly against the admission of women on the ground of the fear of competition, Major Hille søked: "What doctor tears women'e competition now, and where should we have been in the wor without women dostora ?””
