A LETTER was read from Mr. Fry requesting
to be excused from attendance at Council
Meetings during October and November,
owing to absence from Ireland, and intimating
that having been a member of the Council for
•
27 years he had decided
to retire, and
accordingly would not seek re-election in
November.
It was resolved that a letter, in
reply, be written to Mr. Fry expressing the
deep regret of his colleagues at his decision
not to seek re-election on the Council, and
their keen appreciation of his valuable
services to the profession and to the Society.

A letter, in reply, was read from Ulster
King of Arms conveying His Majesty's
permission for the President for the time
being to wear the Badge of the Society at
Court functions.

It was resolved that steps be taken against
the passing in its present form of Clause 9

or Scotland, who carries on business by an
agent in England, would be subject to the
jurisdiction of the English Bankruptcy Court
in respect of debts contracted by his agent in
England.
It was decided to ask the co

"of the Municipal Council, the claims of
" Trade. Union officials
to be allowed to
" appear at Coroners' inquests and examine
" witnesses, when
the
interests of
their
" members are involved, is a reasonable one ;
" that we call upon the City Coroner to grant
" the facilities asked for, provided that legal
" representatives be also employed by such
" Trades Unions at such inquests."
The
resolution further drew attention to a circular
issued by the Lord Lieutenant in August,

It was resolved that the thanks of the Council
be expressed to the member for his letter.
