The attention of the Council has been drawn to the question of the lasting quality of the inks now frequently used for the en– grossment of deeds on parchment. The blue-black inks used at present for everyday writing on paper would appear to be unsuit– able for use on parchment. An original Deed, engrossed on parchment within the last twelve years, recently pro– duced in Court proceedings, had become practically entirely illegible owing to the nature of the ink which had been used, and which had almost completely faded out. On the other hand, deeds are frequently in use writtten on parchment more than a century ago with the writing still jet black and perfectly legible. As a result of enquiry the Council has been informed that an indelible ink guaranteed to be fade proof, acid proof and water proof can be procured at law stationers. The Council consider that this matter is one worthy of the attention of the Profession. THE SOCIETY'S CALENDAR, 1933.
