THE PRESIDENT, addressing the meet–
ing, said : Since our last General Meeting
there have passed away some prominent and
honoured members of the profession. Mr.
Barrington Jellett was a member of your
Council for some years. Besides the respon–
sibilities of a large professional practice, his
activities were many-sided. He was Chair–
man of the Royal Bank, and was held in
high esteem in the world of finance, com–
merce, and agriculture. Mr. George Collins
was a Vice-President of your Council, and it
was a matter of regret to his colleagues that,
owing
to
the strain of his professional
engagements, he could not be persuaded to
take the Presidency.
For many years he
was one of the leaders of the profession, and
his services were always readily given for
the general advancement of the members
and particularly for those in most need of
them. To the end he held the position of
Honorary Secretary of the Solicitors' Bene–
volent Association, and was one of its active
supporters. Alike, in the fullness of years
and honour, Mr. Arthur H. Orpen has gone
from us. For just three-quarters of a century
he was a Solicitor, and in active practice up
to a short time before his death. The Orpen
family has been associated in the highest
honour with our profession for the best part
of
a century.
Mr. Orpen's father, Sir
