Syllabus

<p>Constitutional law — Judicial and legislative powers — Attorneys at law ■ — Act of May 8,1909, P. L. 47S.</p> <p>1. The Act of May 8, 1909, P. L. 475, which provides that admission “to practice as an attorney at law in the Supreme Court of this commonwealth shall of itself, without more, operate as an admission of such attorney as an attorney at law in every other court of this commonwealth, without any other or further action by such other courts or by such attorney,” is not unconstitutional as a legislative interference with judicial power in violation of art. Y, sec. 1, of the constitution.</p> <p>2. All that the act of 1909 does is to declare what effect is to be given to a purely judicial act of the Supreme Court in directing the admission of an attorney at law to practice before it.</p>
