1824. July 31
Constitutional CodeCh. XXI Law Practitioners
§. 1. Who

Art. By a Notary understand the Law practitioner
considered as occupied in the penning of instruments and or authentication or attestation of Contract
and Conveyance, and other instruments connected with those
same instruments.

In Bonaparte's Codes as in the former Chaos the Notary is throughout designated
by that name.

In English practice the name of Notary is unknown
except in on the occasion of certain contracts and conveyances in
which a foreigner as such is party: and in that case he is
stiled a Notary public. In all other cases this branch of
law business is performed by the Attorney, who in a whereas the case
of any the least impr apparent importance of the case and the pecuniary utility of
the part afford a sufficient warrant or pretence never
fails to call in the Counsellor or the multitude of Counsellors:

In his character of Conveyancer Notary and conveyancing Attorney
whereupon the Law practitioner the Attorney makes work for himself in the character of Solicitor:
as does the major Law practitioner and the Conveyancing Counsel in that his character of
for himself in the character of Barrister: though there is no want of scarcity of Conveyancing
Counsel are not who are not Barristers. Hence it is that
in the art and science of conveyancing advances, the security
of all men in respect of property in all shapes, but more
especially for property in a bonded shape diminishes.

More heads than these has indeed the hydra: more than
space or time could be found for enumerating. To enable him to
practice in one of the four great Courts Westminster Hall Judicatories the Common Pleas a Barrister
Counsel must have been elevated into a Serjeant. His qualification
consists in the paying of fees to divers fee-eaters, and giving some their
gold to Attorneys to whom he looks for business or others at his choice: together with a few other such
demonstrations of appropriate aptitude. when these are compleated, he presents
himself to that Judicatory, and hears the Chief Judge say "I spy a Brother":
after which the all the all the Judges but not any of the purely Equity
Judges, speak of and to and of him by that honor-conferring name appellation.
One of the fees is for delivery to him an open letter in the Kings name, threatening
him with some punishment
if he omitts to cause
himself to be invested
with this certificate of
in aptitude.
