§ MR. T. C. H. HEDDERWICK (Wick Burghs)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether Scots law agents (i.e. duly qualified Scots solicitors) who do not happen to be also members of the small private Edinburgh body known as Writers to the Signet are admitted to practice in Rhodesia as attorneys without further examination on producing proof of their admission as solicitors in Scotland; and, if not, will he explain on what grounds?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN,) Birmingham, W.I understand that the answer is in the affirmative. According to Sub-section (b)of Section 1 of the High Commissioner's Proclamation of 8th April 1892, "Solicitors or Attorneys-at Law, or Scottish Writers to the Signet, duly admitted and enrolled and under no disability to practice in England, Ireland, Scotland, or the Cape Colony, may be admitted and enrolled to practice as Attomeys-at-Law."
