The Faculty urgently recommend that students devote their whole time during Sessions to the work of the School, experience having proved that students who undertake office work in addition to the work of their classes, receive very little advantage from the lectures. The Course having been very considerably enlarged, the Faculty apprehend that students who are doing regular office work during Session, will find it quite impossible to pass with credit the required examinations.

§ XXVIII. SESSIONAL EXAMINATIONS.-(1.) The Sessional Examinations will begin next Session on February 18th, 1889.

(2.) Students are forbidden to bring any book or manuscript into the Examination Hall, except by direction of the Examiner, or to give or receive assistance, or to hold any communication with one another at the Examinations. If a student violate this rule, he shall be excluded from the Sessional Examinations of the Session, and such other penalty shall be imposed as the Faculty may determine.

(3.) If an Undergraduate fail to pass in any subject or subjects of the Sessional Examinations, he shall be allowed a supplementary Examination in such subject or subjects at the beginning of any subsequent Session.

(4.) Undergraduates who wish to present themselves at a Supplementary Examination, must give notice to the Dean of the Faculty on or before August 27th, 1888.

(5.) The Supplementary Examination for the present year will begin September 3rd, at 10 o'clock, A. M. Fee $5.00, payable on the morning of the Examination.

§ XXIX.-MOOT COURTS.—Moot courts will be held every fortnight, and will be presided over by some member of the Faculty, or a Barrister selected by the Faculty. Every candidate for a degree shall be required to take part in arguments at the Moot Court. The senior counsel on either side shall be required to file briefs with the Dean before noon of the day preceding that on which the case is argued. A record will be kept of the values assigned to the arguments made, and these values will be considered by the Faculty in recommending a candidate for his degree.

In addition to the Moot Courts under the supervision of the Faculty, a voluntary Moot Court has been organized by students of the First Year.

§ XXX. MOCK PARLIAMENT. —The students have organized a Mock Parliament for the discussion of legal and constitutional questions. This Parliament is largely attended, and is found to be of great utility.

§ XXXI.—ACADEMIC COSTUME.-Bachelors of Laws are entitled to wear gowns and hoods. The gowns are similar to those worn by Barristers-at-Law. The hoods are of black silk stuff with a lining of white silk bordered with gold-coloured

silk.

§ XXXII.—THE LIBRARY.-The Library has a good set of English and Canadian Reports, and will be found to contain almost all the books which an undergraduate will have occasion to consult.

§ XXXIII-FEES.-The following are the fees payable by Students of the Faculty of Law. They are in all cases payable in advance.

Seats in the Lecture Room will not be assigned to Students until they have paid their Class Fees to the Dean.

Students are required to sign the University Register and pay their Class Fees on the first day of the term, at 10 A. M., in the office of the Law School.
