AMENDMENT OF RULES 13 AND 39.

On April 15, 1912, the following proviso was added to rule 13 of the Supreme Court, relating to the removal of records from the office of the clerk:

"And provided further, that where the original bill of exceptions or certificate of evidence shall be incorporated in the transcript of the record and the judgment or decree shall be reversed and the cause remanded for another trial or hearing, said original bill of exceptions or certificate of evidence may be withdrawn by either party desiring to use the same on another trial or hearing, and the clerk of this court, upon application therefor, will detach the same from the transcript, substituting therefor the receipt of the party to whom the same is delivered and a certified copy of any original document included in or annexed to such bill of exceptions or certificate of evidence as an exhibit."

On April 4, 1912, the following amendment to the second paragraph of rule 39 of the Supreme Court was adopted, relative to the times and places for holding examinations for admission to the bar:

"Examinations shall be conducted by written or printed interrogatories, in whole or in part, and be as nearly as possible uniform throughout the State; to be held at Ottawa on the last Tuesday in February; at Chicago the first Tuesday next succeeding the fourth day in July; at Springfield the first Tuesday in October, and at Mt. Vernon on the first Tuesday in December in each year. Such examinations shall be held by the examiners as a body, a majority of whom shall constitute a quorum."
