§ SIR WALTER B. BARTTELOTasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, What is the practice as to exempting persons, becoming bound under articles of clerkship to solicitors, from the necessity of passing an examination in general knowledge, as provided by the Solicitors Acts, 1860 and 1877?
MR. ASSHETON CROSSI forwarded the hon. and gallant Baronet's Question to the Law Institution, and I have this day received from them a long letter in reply. I should, therefore, prefer not answering the Question until I have forwarded that letter to the Judges, and received their reply.
