The barristers of the Supreme Court shall be allowed to act as solicitors, and the solicitors of the Court to act also as barristers, for the period of five years after the passing of this Ordinance, unless the Court shall in the meantime make order to the contrary; and any such order may extend to the whole Colony or may be restricted to any part thereof, as to the Court shall seem fit.
