We learn from the Register that the Trustees


of the University Of North Carolina have csa-


blished Law Professorship, of which Judge


WILLIAM H. BATTLE has been appointed Pro-


lcssor. We consider the selection of Professor as
an excellent one, and the Profssorship itself thai


which ought to have been established long since


The position Judge Battle occupies is an import
ant one, and we need not add the hope That he
will discharge its duties faithfully, and without
the prejudice and bias Of the parLizan. ~
We have too long looked 10 Virginia for in
struction in the law. Many of our young men go
annually to their seats of learning, especially 10
William and Mary, where, though the knowledge
impaired may be very good in itself and quite ac-
curate, they are compelled to hear their native
State ridiculed, and that too. at times BY learned
Professors. We owe j: to ourselves TO divert the
minds Of our young men into different channels;
and we trust we shall not see any more pu6s in
North Carolina newspapers OF Law Schools at
Richmond, now that we have good Professor
ship in our own University. The Register will
understand this. We quote from that paper the
following plan of the Law Department:


This Department will contain two Classes, of
"htCn Tue uFSt cailed the lRUeDcndent CLLSS will
consist of such Students of Law, as have no con-
nexion with any Of the College Class; aad the
second, called the College Glass, will consist of
such irregular Members of College as, with the
permission of the Faculty, may be desirous of
joining il.


'The plan of Studies comprises BIacktone's
Commentaries, Stephen on Pleading, Chiuy on
Pleading. Greeneaf on Evidence, Chitty on Con-
tracts, Cruises Digest of Real Property; and Viii
iIams on Executors. together with Lectures on the
Municipal Laws Of the State as modified bv The
Acts Of the Legislature and decisions of the State
Court.


"A complete Course viii occupy two years for
the Independent Glass. and two years and half
for the CoHege Glass, at the end OF which the De-
gree OF BACHELOR OF Law. will be conferred on |
such Students as, by their proficiency, may be
deemed entitled TO it.


The Professor of Law receives no salary from
the Trustees Of the University, but is entitled to
egman6 Gioaa or rom each member of the Independent
OF the Course; aud $25 afterwards; and from each
member OF the College Glass, $25 per Session.


" Fhe Professor of Law, and the members of the |
independent Glass; will not be subject to any of |
the ordinary College regulations"
