operative Societies to transfer their shares in accordance with the Rules of the Societies when disposing of their farms such shares could not be transferred to new owners on the deaths of the shareholders in the absence of legal personal representatives of such shareholders. It frequently transpired that on the death of a farmer, who had transferred his farm in his lifetime, that his only assets were the few shares in the local Creamery and as the expense of extracting administration was generally out of proportion to the value of the shares no steps were taken to raise representation to his estate with the result that such shares could not be legally trans– ferred to a new owner. The I.A.O.S. have suggested that solicitors, particularly those practising in the country, might favourably consider drawing the attention of their clients to this matter when farms are being transferred, and thus assist the Committees of Co-operative Societies in keeping the share registers up-to-date. The Council were of opinion that the suggestion of the I.A.O.S. is worthy of the consideration of all practising solicitors. EXAMINATIONS RESULTS.
