the University.

II. No fees shall be required for such examination other
than those prescribed by "The Law Practitioners Act, 1882."

III. Certificates shall be issued to candidates specifying
the examination which they have passed.

NOTE.—Candidates are advised to study carefully, in connection
with these regulations, sections II, III, IV, V, and IX of the statute
"The Degree of Bachelor of Laws"; and also the notes in small
type annexed to these regulations.

IV. 1. Any candidate for admission as solicitor who shall
have passed the Matriculation Examination in the Univer-
sity of New Zealand, passing in Latin as a subject, shall be
deemed to have passed the examination in General Knowledge
required to be passed by candidates for admission as soli-
citors; and any candidate for admission as barrister who
shall have passed with credit the Junior Scholarship Exami-
nation in the said University, passing in Latin as a subject,
or the subjects Latin, English (or Mental Science), Juris-
prudence, and Constitutional History as prescribed for the
degree of Bachelor of Laws in the said University, shall be
deemed to have passed the examination in General Know-
ledge required to be passed by candidates for admission as
barristers.

2. Every candidate for admission as a barrister or solicitor
   of the Supreme Court not previously admitted elsewhere
   shall give notice to the Registrar of the University of New
   Zealand, at the dates specified each year in the University
   Calendar, of his desire to be examined, and shall state the
   nature of the examination that he proposes to submit to,
   and shall at the same time pay to the Registrar of the Uni-
   versity the proper fee in respect of such examination; and
   every such candidate shall at the same time send a similar
   notice (without fee) to the Registrar of the Supreme Court
   where he intends to apply for admission.

3. Candidates for admission as barristers may present
   themselves for examination both in Law and General Know-
   ledge, or in Law only, or in General Knowledge only.

4. The examinations will be conducted by the University
   of New Zealand. The examinations in Law and the exami-

nations in General Knowledge shall be held annually, at the
times fixed by the Chancellor of the University, at any
centre at which there may be ten or more candidates for the
examinations then proceeding, or where, if not so many, the
total payment in fees may be made up to twenty guineas.
All candidates for legal examinations must conform to the
rules and regulations of the University for the conduct
of University examinations, as stated in the University
Calendar, so far as they are consistent with these regulations.

NOTE.—No "terms" are required to be kept by candidates for
the law professional examinations, nor is Matriculation neces-
sary; but subjects passed at the law professional examination can
count towards the LL.B. degree, provided that the candidate had
been previously matriculated, and provided that in the case of
subjects for which the keeping of terms is required for the degree
such terms had been previously kept.

5. A candidate may take the examination in General Know-
   ledge either before or after the examination in Law, or in the
   same year as one or other of the prescribed sections of such
   examination.

6. Candidates for admission as barristers who have been
   previously admitted as barristers in any superior or Supreme
   Court in any part of His Majesty's dominions shall give two
   months' notice of their intention to apply for admission, and
   shall, as soon as conveniently may thereafter, be examined
   only as to their knowledge of the Law of New Zealand so far
   as it differs from the Law of England. The examination of
   such candidates shall be conducted by the Examiners ap-
   pointed by the Senate, at such times in the year and at such
   places as may be fixed by the Chancellor of the Uni-
   versity with the approval of the Chief Justice.

NOTE.—The fee payable under Regulation 6 is two guineas.

   examined in Law and General Knowledge.

9. Solicitors on the roll who shall apply to be admitted as
   barristers shall pass the examination in General Knowledge
   provided by Rule 10, and shall pass the examination in
   Jurisprudence, Constitutional History, Roman Law, Inter-
   national Law, and Conflict of Laws prescribed for the de-
   gree of Bachelor of Laws. Nothing in this rule shall be
   deemed to conflict with the provisions of "The Law Prac-
   titioners Act Amendment Act, 1898."

NOTE.—The fees payable under Regulation 9 are two guineas for
the general knowledge and two guineas for the law examination.

NOTE.—If a candidate under this regulation chooses the sub-
jects Latin, English (or Mental Science), Jurisprudence, and Consti-
tutional History for general knowledge, he will not have to pass
again in Jurisprudence and Constitutional History as part of his law
examination.

NOTE.—Persons who may be exempt from Latin and English
must, under Regulation 9, take all the subjects mentioned at one
examination.

of Laws. The examination fee for each section shall be two
guineas.

    rate subject of examination in Law for candidates for ad-
