Resident Magistrates.
A member of the Council having called
attention to the fact that of the existing Resi
dent Magistrates only six were appointed
from the Solicitors' profession, the following
resolution was adopted :
" Resolved—The Council of the Incorporated
Law Society of Ireland desire to call the
attention of His Excellency the Lord Lieu
tenant and of the Chief Secretary for Ireland
to the allocation of Resident Magistracies in
Ireland in the past.
Of the existing 64
Resident Magistrates, only six were members
of the Solicitors' profession, nineteen were
members of
the Irish Bar,
twenty were
Constabulary officers, and the remaining
nineteen were engaged in other pursuits.
The Council submit that, having regard to
their training and professional qualifications,
Solicitors are pre-eminently qualified for the
office of Resident Magistrate, and should, in
justice to the profession and in due regard to
public requirements, obtain at least as many
of such appointments as any other pro
fession. The Council further submit that the
appointment of persons qualified by previous
legal education and training is essential,
having regard to the many questions of law
which frequently arise
in proceedings at
Petty Sessions."
Copies of the resolution were directed to be
sent to the Lord Lieutenant, the Chief Secre
tary, and to such Irish Members of Parlia
ment as are Solicitors.
