to accept the Office of Interpreter, that he shall be allowed to

Entirely Articled to an

Attorney during the period of his holding the official appointment, with a

view to his ultimate admission

as a

Attorney - I

think that the Acting Office of Interpreter would be incompatible with his

duties as an

Articled Clerk to an Attorney, inasmuch as he would

be unable to devote the whole

of his time to the discharge of duties, and the acquiring sufficient knowledge of the Law and its practice.

Such being my impression, it becomes unnecessary to consider the policy or impolicy of permitting "Clerk" to practice as an Attorney.

I do not hesitate to express my opinion that the precedent

would be a very dangerous

one.

I have, &c.,

(Signed) John Walter Hulme,

Chief Justice.

To His Excellency

The Colonial Secretary.
