FULL COURT CASE.
ADMISSION OF BARRISTER.. (ritESS 18S0CUT10V TEMSOBAM.) WELLINGTON, December 3. The Full Court dealt this morning with an application by Ernest Thomas Brosnahan, of Gisborno, for admission as a barrister on the ground of five years' continuous practice as a solicitor. The application was brougnt before the Full Court because it appeared that Brosnahan's five years' practice bad been interrupted by t'ouiteen days during which he was not in actual business. Mr Watson, for Brosnahan, submitted that the hiatus of fourteen days was not sufficient interruption to debar the applicant from admission and drew the Court's attention to the case of ex parte Moses. Mr Justice Macgregor: That seems a very old authority. The Chief Justice, in granting the application, said that the interruption was not sufficient to prevent the practice being continuous, but the Court could not lay down any general rule as to what wouTd amount to an invalidating interruption. Each case, said his Honour, must be decided on its own facts.
