election of Council to be held in November next : Mr. F. G. Sharpe, Mr. H. G. Sweetman, Mr. H. H. Maxwell, Mr. Desmond J. Collins and Mr. Thomas Jackson. THE PRESIDENT, addressing the meeting, said :— It has been the practice for the President in his address at the May General Meeting to refer to matters of interest which arose since the holding of the November General Meeting. Members who read the GAZETTE will have noticed that a number of Solicitors who occupied prominent positions in the pro fession have passed away. Amongst them one stands out as entitled to special notice. I refer to Mr. Arthur H. Julian, of Cork, who was admitted a Solicitor in the year 1872. He died in the month of February of the present year, and during his years was an outstanding member of the profession. A few years ago when the interest of the country Solicitors was awakened by the movement, the result of which was the election of many of them to the Council, Mr. Julian—then a very senior member of the provincial Solicitors—showed a youthful energy that was astonishing. His enthusiasm and his energy were largely responsible for the widespread interest engendered amongst the provincial Solicitors. The profession as a whole may well regret his death, and cannot fail to cherish the memory of, one who never failed to do his duty to his profession.
