LAW PRACTITIONERS' BILL
«. '' Sir George Grey achieved pronounced success jvitb. his Law Practioners 1 Bill. The measure simply provides (hit any person who shall successfully pass an examination in law shall be admitted to > practice in the Law Courts of the colony. *■ Bir George Grey made an able speech In moving the second reeding of the bill, Referring .specially to the facilities | KfEotdeip'to young men in America to gain admission to the practice of law. | Tie tone of the debate, which was ■ . almost wholly confined to the lawyers of the House, was more liberal than in p«Bt years. l Messrs Dowßie Stetrarfc, =. Etchett, and Ment eath spoke with determination agdinft an attempt to tirow the profession open in thie.manner, bat three other lawyers — Messrs *W-. P. j Beeves, Hutchison, and- Joyce — ? strengthened Sir George Grey's cause by giving him their support. Sir George Grey's reply to Mr Downie %Bfcewart was forcible and^ploquent, and -lie^s'loußly applauded^ When tlie .. question was put only three voices were given with the Noes. Messrs Stewart and Fitchett galled for a division, -wKc)i resulted ia the r* second reading ot the bill being carried by 67 to 15. Sir George Grey fix«d ttie commit tee for "Wednesday, 24th November, and as it. is the first order for that duy, it is pretty certain to get through the various, stages of the Lovrer.Souse this session. The division list on this question will be received with a good denl of interest, and I (correspondent of the Napier Telegraph) therefore append it : - Axbs. Anderson Kelly Eeeves, H.
