   Solicitor of the Supreme Court shall give notice to
   the Registrar of the Court at the place where he

   the examination that he proposes to submit to; and
   shall at the same time pay the proper fee in respect
   of such examination.

2. Candidates who are by law entitled to be ad-
   mitted either as Barristers or Solicitors after an

   shall not be examined in both law and general know-
   ledge at the same half-yearly examination; and no
