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.
