performed by solicitors, and who produces to the Chief Justice satis-

factory evidence that he has faithfully, honestly, and diligently served

as such clerk, shall be exempted from any preliminary exami-

nation.

5.-(1) Articles whereby any person becomes bound to serve as a

clerk to any solicitor, and every assignment thereof, shall be pro-

duced to the Registrar within one month after the same have been

executed, and the person so bound as aforesaid shall, within the

said period, make and duly swear, or cause to be made and duly

sworn, an affidavit of such solicitor having been duly admitted,

and also of the actual execution of the articles or assignment by

the parties thereto.

(2) In every such affidavit there shall be specified the names of

such solicitor and of the person so bound and the day on which

such articles or assignment were or was actually executed, and

such person shall also, within the said period, file the said affidavit

in the Court.

6.—(1) Within the said period of one month and on the filing of

the affidavit required by the last section and the payment of the

prescribed fees, the Registrar shall enrol and register the articles

or assignment, and shall make and sign a memorandum thereon

and on the affidavit of the day on which the same was filed.

(2) The Registrar shall likewise enter the names of the parties

to and the date of such articles or assignment and the term of ser-

vice in a book to be kept for that purpose, and shall mark such

articles or assignment as having been so entered, with the date

thereof, and the said book shall be open to public inspection

during office hours without fee or reward.

7. The formalities prescribed by the last two sections may be

observed and performed after the expiration of the period of one

month therein specified, by leave of the Chief Justice, but the ser-

vice of the clerk so bound as aforesaid shall be reckoned to com-

mence and be computed from the date when such leave is granted

or, in the case of an assignment, his service shall be suspended

from the expiration of the said period of one month until the

date when such leave is granted, unless the Chief Justice otherwise

orders.
