Court cases from outlying parts of County
Dublin.
MR. E. J. MALLINS'suggested that com–

but that there should be separate drafts for
the amount of the damages and for the

want of a room for the use of Solicitors at the
Law Courts, and urged that the matter should
receive immediate attention.

tion, and the President returned thanks.
