## Admission of Students.

1. EVERY person, not otherwise disqualified, who shall have passed a PUBLIC EXAMINATION at any University within the British dominions, or for a Commission in the Army or Navy, or for the Indian Civil Service, or for the Consular Service, or for Cadetships in the three Eastern Colonies of Ceylon, Hong Kong, and the Straits Settlements, shall be entitled to be admitted as a Student, without passing a preliminary Examination, but subject to Rule 7.

2. Every other person, except such as come under Rule 15, applying to be admitted as a Student, shall, before such admission, have satisfactorily passed an Examination in the following subjects, viz.:

(a) The English Language,

(b) The Latin Language, and

(c) English History;

In the case of a Student who is a Native of India, that fact shall be a special circumstance sufficient to justify an Examination in the Latin Language being dispensed with, upon application to the Masters of the Bench.

3. Such Examination shall be conducted by a joint Board, to be appointed by the four Inns of Court.

4. For constituting such Board, each of the four Inns of Court shall appoint four Examiners, and the Council of Legal Education shall have power to allot such remuneration as the Council shall think fit to such Examiners.

5. The Examiners shall attend according to a Rota to be fixed by themselves, and Two shall be a Quorum.

6. Meetings of the Examiners shall be held at least once in every week during each Term, as hereinafter defined, and once in the week next preceding each Term, and at such other times as shall be appointed in accordance with any order of the Board;

Provided that no Examiner need attend unless two clear days' notice prior to the day appointed for his attendance shall have been given to the Secretary of the Board, by at least one Candidate, of an intention to present himself on that day for Examination.

7. No Attorney at Law, Solicitor, Writer to the Signet, or Writer of the Scotch Courts, Proctor, Notary Public, Clerk in Chancery, Parliamentary Agent, or Agent in any Court original...
