[Those marked * are off the island. Those in italics have not taken out their Annual Certificate, and cannot practice without it.

Note: Within the last two years gentlemen admitted to practice have not signed after each other in regular order, but across the sheet, and this makes it difficult to ascertain the order of Seniority. Perhaps this hint may be of use to those who may soon pass their examination.

N.B. All Barristers and Attorneys, admitted to practice in the Supreme Court, are entitled to practice in every other Court of Law and Equity in the Island]
