For many years a member of our Council, he was President for the year 1921-22. In addition, he was actively interested in the Solicitors' Benevolent Association, of which he had been a former Chairman and Trustee. During the last six months, death has also claimed Mr. William Ingram, Limavady, Mr. J. T. Cosgreave, Rathkeale, Mr. Louis A. Kennedy, Belfast, Mr. A. Plunkett Kenney, Dublin, Mr. Joseph G.
