Twenty-four Members present.

Resolutions were passed expressing the
deep regret .of the Council at the deaths of
their colleagues, Mr. Patrick J. Byrne, of

Enniscorthy.
Circuit Courts.
Mr. Bradley informed the Council that a
meeting of the Circuit Courts Rule-making
Committee had been summoned for the then
following Saturday, for the purpose of con
sidering a rule submitted by the Minister for
Justice increasing the Circuit Court fee funds.
The Council passed a resolution, to be sent
to the Minister, expressing the opinion of the
Council
that until Circuit Court Rules
regulating the procedure of the Circuit Courts
have been passed by the Oireachtas there
should be no alteration
in
the existing
Circuit Court fee funds.
Income Tax Collection.
A letter in reply from the Revenue Com
missioners was read stating that the Income
Tax Collector who had claimed professional
costs of proceedings taken
by
him in person
for recovery of income tax under Section 11
of the Finance Act, 1924, was not certain as
to the costs that the Court might allow him.
He soon, however, understood that he should
not claim professional costs for a personal
application, and that no such claim had been
made for a considerable time.
Irish Manuscripts.
A letter was read from the Irish Manu
scripts Commission enclosing a draft of a
proposed circular letter intended to be issued
to Solicitors in Ireland seeking information
as to the existence of any documents of Irish
historical value among the papers in their

The letter requested from the Council a
recommendation to
the members of
the
Society that they would assist the Commis
sion in its quest for information.
The Council directed a letter in reply as
requested to be written.
