next : Mr. E. F. Collins, Mr. M. Dawson, Mr. R. French, Mr. F. G. Sharpe and Mr. N. Taylor. THE PRESIDENT, addressing the meet– ing, said : Since our last General Meeting there have passed away some prominent and honoured members of the profession. Mr. Barrington Jellett was a member of your Council for some years. Besides the respon– sibilities of a large professional practice, his activities were many-sided. He was Chair– man of the Royal Bank, and was held in high esteem in the world of finance, com– merce, and agriculture. Mr. George Collins was a Vice-President of your Council, and it was a matter of regret to his colleagues that, owing to the strain of his professional engagements, he could not be persuaded to take the Presidency. For many years he was one of the leaders of the profession, and his services were always readily given for the general advancement of the members and particularly for those in most need of them. To the end he held the position of Honorary Secretary of the Solicitors' Bene– volent Association, and was one of its active supporters. Alike, in the fullness of years and honour, Mr. Arthur H. Orpen has gone from us. For just three-quarters of a century he was a Solicitor, and in active practice up to a short time before his death. The Orpen family has been associated in the highest honour with our profession for the best part of a century. Mr. Orpen's father, Sir
