Court of Session Inner House First Division.
Facts:
A notary-public had been in actual practice as such, and as a conveyancer, for six years and five months prior to 5th August 1873, but had taken out seven annual certificates.— Held that he was entitled to be admitted a law agent under §24 of the Act, and prayer of the petition granted.
This was a petition presented by George Barrie, conveyancer and notary-public, 2 Queen Street, Edinburgh, to be admitted a law agent under the 24th section of the Act 36 and 37 Vict. c. 63. The petitioner passed as notary-public in March 1867, or six years and five months before the passing of the Act, and during that period he had taken out seven annual certificates as required by law, and had been engaged in actual practice as a conveyancer as well as a notary-public.
The following interlocutor was pronounced:—“The Lord Ordinary having considered the foregoing petition and productions therewith, and heard Counsel, finds that the petitioner George Barrie, in respect of his qualifications, under the 24th section of the Act 36 and 37 Vict. cap. 63, is entitled to be admitted as a Law Agent in Scotland, and appoints his name to be enrolled as such, all in terms of the said Act.”
