In a letter from the Department of Justice,
dated 5th February, in reply to an enquiry
from the Society as to the right of audience
of Solicitors on the hearing of appeals before
the Commissioners,
it is stated that the
Minister had been advised " that the pro-
" ceedings before the Commissioners under
" the County Court Appeals Act, 1924, will
" be conducted in exactly the same manner
" as the appeals before the Judges of Assize
" formerly.
It will be noted, in fact, that
" the powers, jurisdictions and privileges of
" a Judge of Assize have been by Section 1,
" Sub-Section (2) of the Act transferred to the
" Commissioners
of Appeal.
Solicitors,
" therefore, will have such right of audience
" as they would have had in former times
" before the Judges of Assize."
