OF

* For the regulations respecting an open competition for appointments in the Civil Service of India, see p. 117.

For the Departments of the Accountant-General or Auditor the "Elements of Book-keeping" may be substituted for Précis writing.

The examination, as regards history, geography, correspondence, and the other heads, extends much further than is thought necessary in the case of clerks in offices of account and receipt, the latter class having one extra subject, i.e. Book-keeping by double entry.

§ For clerks in the Solicitors' offices, Dublin and Edinburgh, the examination is the same as that for the Secretary's office, with the addition of Latin.

* In examinations which are not competitive the exercises in Languages are restricted to translation.

* These must also possess the requisite technical knowledge.
