The following letter was read :—
DUBLIN CASTLE,
18th June,
1912.
SIR,
With reference to your letter of the 25th
ultimo, embodying a resolution passed at a
General Meeting of your Society on the 16th
ultimo, requesting the Government to take
steps for the purpose of the repeal of enact
ments which empower officials other than
Solicitors to act on behalf of Government
Departments or Public Bodies in the conduct
of proceedings in Courts of Justice, I am
directed by the Lord Lieutenant to state,
for the information of your Society, that His
Excellency finds that the power given by
Statute to Public Bodies in Ireland to be
represented in Court in certain minor matters
by an Official instead of by a Solicitor is
also a power which exists in the case of
Public Bodies in England.
His Excellency, while recognizing that the
interests of the Solicitors' profession should
in every legitimate manner be safeguarded,
is not of opinion that amending legislation
of the nature suggested in the resolution is
practicable or could be undertaken by
Government.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
(Signed)
J. B. DOUGHERTY.
