less they shall be of opinion that the examination of the students they select has been such as entitles them thereto. At every call to the Bar, those students who have passed a public examination, and either obtained a studentship or a certificate of honour, shall take rank in seniority over all other students who shall be called on the same day. No students shall be eligible to be called to the Bar who shall not either have attended during one whole year the lectures of two of the readers, or have satisfactorily passed a public examination. The examination will be held in Trinity term next, to which a student of any of the Inns of Court, who is desirous of becoming a candidate for a studentship or honours, or of obtaining a certificate of fitness for being called to the Bar, will be admissible. Each student proposing to submit himself for examination will be required to enter his name at the treasurer's office of the Inn of Court to which he belongs, on or before Tuesday, May 12, next; and he will further be required to state in writing whether his object in offering himself for examination it to compete for a studentship, or other honourable distinction, or whether he is merely desirous of obtaining a certificate preliminary to a call of the Bar. The examination will commence on Tuesday, May 19, next, and will be continued on the Wednesday and Thursday following. It will take place in the benchers' reading room, at Lincoln's Inn, and the doors will be closed ten minutes after the time appointed for the commencement of the examination. The examination by printed questions will be conducted in the following order : Tuesday morning, May 19, at half-past nine, on Constitutional Law and Legal History; in the afternoon, at half-past one, on Equity. Wednesday morning, May 20, at half-past nine, on Common Law; in the afternoon, at half-past one, on the Law of Real Property, &c. Thursday morning, May 21, at half-past nine, on Jurisprudence and the Civil Law; in the afternoon, at half-past one, a paper will be given to the students, including questions bearing upon all the foregoing subjects of examination. The oral examination will be conducted in the same order, during the same hours, and on the same subjects, as those already marked out for the examination by printed questions, except that on Thursday afternoon there will be no oral examination. The oral examination of each student will be conducted apart from the other students, and the character of that examination will vary according as the student is a candidate for honours or a studentship, or desires simply to obtain a certificate. The oral examination and printed questions will be founded on the books below mentioned, regard being had, however, to the particular object with a view to which the student presents himself for examination. In determining the question whether a student has passed the examination in such a manner as to entitle him to be called to the Bar, the examiners will principally have regard to the general knowledge of law and jurisprudence which he has displayed. A student may present himself at any number of examinations until he shall have obtained a certificate. Any student who shall obtain a certificate may present himself a second time for examination as a candidate for the studentship, but only at one of the three examinations immediately succeeding that at which he shall have obtained such certificate, provided that if any student so presenting himself shall not succeed in obtaining the studentship his name shall not appear in the list. Students who have kept more than eleven terms shall not be admitted to an examination for the studentship. EXAMINATIONS AT THE INCORPORATED LAW SOCIETY. Hilary Term, 1863.
