Why
The remedy for this state of things, which is, ea
I have stated, of oÖHMOE CO0Urrence is twofold: -
(1) More Counsel;
(2) To give Solicitors audience in the Supreme Court in
all cases}
As to the former, so long as one Court only sits
in normal times in Original Jurisdiction Counsel would probably
not risk coming out to Hongkong, as the bulk of the work would
probably fall to the Counsel mostly in request.
As to the other remedy, any proposal to give
Solicitors so-ordinate rights with Counsel in Court should
clearly involve giving the latter all the rights incidental to
the practice of a Solicitor, in other words a fusion of the two
branches of the profession.
It is with some reluctance that I feel constrained
to advance this proposal as the only practical remedy.

The fusion of the two branches of the profession
existe in Shanghai, the Straite Settlements, and in most of the
Crown Colonies. In the two Colonies in which I previously served
(Cyprus and the Bahamas) the two branches were amalgamated and
the system worked quite satisfactorily.
The ouston prevailing in Shanghai and the Straits
Settlements is that a partnership exists between Barristers and
Solicitore, the former doing mainly the advocacy in the Courte
and the latter the office work. There is no bar however to any
admitted Solicitor appearing in the Courts.
Such a ouston, if my proposals are accepted, will
probably ensue in Hongkong, and I trust with absence of friction.
11.
Although it has been self-evident for some time
that some radical change is necessary I have clung to the status
quo ante from a desire to protect, as far as possible, tha
privileges of the upper branch of the profession. The paucity
of its members, however, demonstrates the futility of the system,
