KING'S COUNSEL.
A PROPOSED EMBARGO. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. A member of the legal profession intends to introduce a Bill in Parliament next session, to prevent K.C.'s practising as solicitors. He desires to place King s Counsel in New Zealand on the same footing as occupied by barristers in England, where the two classes of the pro- . fessions (barristers and solicitors) are distinct. The gentleman moving in. this • matter maintains that'K.C.'s ought to give something in return for their title 1 and ! the State recognition they receive. ' They should cease practice as solicitors. The Council of the Auckland branch of the Law Society intimates its inability 1 to support the proposal, and a meeting ■ of the profession will be held in Welhng- • ton to consider the subject this week. It ■ is expected to be a lively meeting.
