A rule has been made by the General Council of the Bar prohibiting the borrowing from the Bar Library by its members of books for their use in the Circuit Courts. In consequence of this rule country members of the Incorporated Law Society have been giving written authority to counsel to borrow in the name of the member from the Society's Library such books as counsel may require for use in Court in a case in which he may be about to appear for the member in a Circuit Court. This practice has caused much inconvenience in the management of the Society's Library, particularly . in reference to volumes of Reports. The Bar Library contains as many as three and four sets of various Law Reports. The Society's Library contains one set of each of its Reports. ' The Council of the Bar was requested'by the Council of the Society to reconsider its' rule but refused to do so, and in consequence the Council of the Society has found it necessary to make the following regulation : The Council directs that no book be lent out of the Society's Library for the use of Counsel. The Council desires that members of the Society, both City and Country, may be assured that this regulation will not interfere with the borrowing of books by members of the Society for their personal use.
