THE Council met specially to consider a
report from the County Courts Committee,
as to the urgent necessity for legislation in
respect of the office of Under-Sheriff. The
Under Sheriffs' Association, having requested
the assistance of the Council in promoting
legislation, a conference was held between
three representatives of the Association and
the County Courts Committee, at which the
law relating to Sheriffs in Ireland, and the
desirability of legislation on the subject was
fully discussed. The Council agreed with the
report of
the County Courts Committee,
which was in favour of improving the existing
procedure, and the following resolution was
adopted by the Council:—
" RESOLVED.—The Council of the Incor
porated Law Society of Ireland are of
opinion that legislation is urgently neces

it is desirable that a Bill in the terms of
the Under-Sheriffs (Ireland) Bill, which was
promoted by the Under-Sheriffs' Associa
tion in 1905 and approved by this Council,
should be passed into law."
