not a public office, his Lordship could not help thinking that all this discussion was beside the mark. His Lordship said that he decided this case on the fact that at the time of the passing of the Act of 1843 there was an existing disability which prevented women from being attorneys, and which had not been destroyed by that Act. The Court had been asked to hold that in education, intelligence and capacity there were women, including the present appellant, who wtre at least equal and often superior to" the candidates who were admitted as solicitors. That was really not a matter for the Court to consider. Its duty was to consider and ascertain the law, and his Lordship said that he disclaimed any right to legislate on matters of this kind. The appeal must be dismissed with costs. The Lords Justices delivered judgment to the same effect. (Reported The Times Law Reports, Vol. XXX., 179.) Minor Matters.
