RE M’KINLEY AND WILLIAMS5 VLR (L) 569

Higinbotham moved the admission of Henry M’Kinley to practise as attorney, &c. The applicant had complied with the Rules in all respects, but he had not posted notice of his intention to apply for admission, at the office of the Prothonotary and at the Supreme Court, before the first day of this Term. There is nothing in the Rules, either of 23rd December, 1865, or of 3rd December, 1872, requiring this to be done; it appears to be merely a practice which probably has survived from the repealed Rules of 1854 on the subject. The applicant, as soon as he became aware of it, posted his notice early on the first day of Term; so that he was only a few hours late. The only portion of the Rules on which such a practice can be sustained is the concluding portion of Rule 24 (of 3rd December, 1872), which requires the applicant to "give notice by advertisement and otherwise, and in other respects comply with these Rules as required;" and in schedule H, he has to swear "that I have caused to be posted and published the notices required by the Rules of this Honourable Court, and otherwise in all respects complied therewith;" but there is nothing to show that this particular posting is required.·23 Dec 1879·Supreme Court of Victoria, at Law2p·Vol 5 VLR (L) Pt 1
