Sir Georye Grey moved the second read inp of the Law Practitioners Bill This Bill, he - explains 1, had also been fre quently before the House. The greatest boon that could be offered to » young country was the opening of every avenue of employment to merit. He hoped the House would do honor to itself by record ing a vote in favor of the Bill. Ur Hobbs looked on the Bill as a very dangerous measure. He knew of many oases where unfortunate people had lost oases in Court through consulting un skilled men. Be moved that the Bill be read that day six months. Mr Samuel thought that. Instead of the Bill conferring a benefit _on the com munity, it would inflict a great evil on it. The legs! profession were already too numerous in the colony, and it was a great temptation for them to make busi ness for themselves. Be believed it was impossible for any man not specially trained in law to do justice to his clients. Mr Garrick opposed the BUI. Mackenzie, Mr Joyce and Colonel Frazer supported the Bill. Mr Turnbull supported the Bill, and hoped, as a judge had recently put it, the “mm jq the street” would be called on to defend eases.

Mr Downie Stewart opposed the BilL Mr Hialop and Mr Levestam supported the SOL

Mr Menteath said the Bill should meet with organised opposition, as a man un skilled in law might do irrevocable barm ini a very short time. There was no de mand whatever for the Bill by the public. ; It would work great evil if carried into law.
