examination.

(c) Mode and Character of Examination
Generally.

Rule 4. The examinations shall be con-
ducted both viva voce and by written ques-
tions and answers, and shall be sufficiently
comprehensive to enable candidates to show
a much more extensive and precise acquain-
tance with the various subjects, or some of
them, than will be deemed indispensable
merely to ensure admission.

N.B.—A much greater amount of profi-
ciency will be expected of Candidates for
admission as Barristers than from those who
apply for admission as Solicitors.

The age of Candidates for admission must
appear on affidavit.

Rule 5. The examining Judge may make
such enquiries into and require such evidence
of the character of Candidates as he may
think fit.

Rule 6. The Judge of each District may
make such rules respecting the mode of
examination before him as he may think fit,
the same not being inconsistent with these
rules.

force.

Rule 7. Any Candidate entitled to apply
to be examined and who shall be desirous of
being examined and admitted before the
expiration of Twelve months after the
examining Judge has given notices under Rule
2 as above, may apply to such Judge for leave
to be examined, and such Judge may appoint
such time and place for the examination of
such Candidate as he may think fit, and
may conduct the examination of such Candi-
date in the matters in respect of which he is
liable to be examined in such manner as he
may think fit.

verified proving his admission, and make an
affidavit that he is the person named therein
and was admitted as therein stated.

Rule 9. Every such Barrister or Advocate
as last aforesaid shall be examined in the
Law of New Zealand so far as the same
differs from the Law of England, and such

mentary evidence, of his having taken such

before his application to be admitted.
