I. That not more than four Terms under any cir-
cumstances be dispensed with in favour of Students
coming from India or the Colonies, with a view to
return to residence there; but that it is not expedient
to dispense with any Terms for such Students except
on condition of their passing such an Examination
as may be prescribed by the Legal Council from time
to time.
II. Provided that each Inn be at liberty to dispense
with this condition in such very special circumstances
as they may think fit, and that such circumstances be
stated in the Certificate of Call to the Bar given to
every such Student; the Benchers of each Inn, sub-
ject to the foregoing limitations, being guided in the
dispensation of Terms by the circumstances of each
particular case.
III. That the Council of Legal Education be
requested to propose a scheme for the Examinations
contemplated by the foregoing Resolutions.

Legal Education.

3. The Code of Criminal Procedure;
4. The Code of Civil Procedure;
5. The Indian Succession Act; and in such other
   Codes and Acts as may from time to time

   Students seeking a "Pass Certificate" by Exami-
   nation for Call to the Bar.
