Morgan to Lytton

I had the honor to receive Mr Merivale's letter of the
19th instant, and in reply thereto, have to inform you,
that several Members of the Society of Solicitors in the Supreme
Courts of Scotland, Incorporated by Royal Charter, are admitted
in, and at present practising as Solicitors or Attornies before
the Courts of Law in Kingston, Jamaica, and in Sydney and
Melbourne in Australia, in virtue of the Commissions they hold as
Solicitors, from the Supreme Court of Scotland.

The Society of Writers to the Signet practise as Solicitors
or Attornies in the Supreme Courts, solely in consequence of being
Clerks to the Signet, and are neither admitted, nor sworn in by
the Court.

As the Members of the Society of Solicitors before the Supreme
Courts, and Writers to the Signet, have the same rights and
privileges of practising in the Supreme Courts of Scotland, I
humbly submit that it would be an Act of injustice towards the former,
were they excluded from the same rights and privileges in any of
Her Majesty's Colonies.
