a public function, but he was very much mistaken if Solicitors of standing were not qualified to exercise certain public functions. His Lordship entertained no doubt as to the position of women before the modern legisla tion. He did not doubt that they were disqualified by reason of their sex from acting as Solicitors. Then there was the Act of 1843. His Lordship read Section 48, and said that such a clause as that was only to enable the drafting of the Act to be done more concisely than it might otherwise be. The same remark applied to the Interpreta tion Act. It was never intended to make such a revolution. There was no statute which showed any intention of the Legislature to alter the common law. The disability, therefore, still existed, and would exist until it was changed by the Legislature. The action must, therefore, be dismissed. (Reported The Times Law Reports, Vol. XXIX., page 634.)
