When the time approaches at which the candidate is ready to pre-
-sent himself for examination, application must be made by the
candidate or by his teacher to the Colonial Authorities, for the
Examination to be held in the Colony. As the preliminary arrange-
-meats take considerable time, very early notice should be
given.
The procedure with regard to entry for the Intermediate and Final
Examinations is in all respects the same as that for the Matricula-
-tion Examination.
Privileges and Exemptions.
The following public bodies accept the Matriculation Examination
as an approved preliminary Examination:- The Incorporated Law
