THE LEGAL FRATERNITY.
[per press association.] Wellington. April 23. The statistics compiled by the secretary of the Wellington Law Society show that at the end of 1900 there were 603 solicitors practising in the colony, one to every 1344 of the estimated population, or one to every 336 male adults. There were besides many (probably more than 200) qualified to practise on payment of fees. Nevertheless students are not deterred from following this over-stocked profession. Last year there was a distinct falling off in the number of applicants for admission as barristers, only 13 being received as against 23 for the previous year, and 23 for the year before. These do not include solicitors already on the roll who apply for admission as barristers. The proportion of so’icitors to population is greatest in Auckland and lowest in Dunedin.
