Meetings of the Council.
July 13th.
Labourers Act Costs.
THE President informed the Council that he
had received a
request
from
the Local
Government Board to attend upon the 15th
instant a meeting, in order that the Board
might consult him in reference to a new Order
which they propose to make dealing with
Occupier's Costs of Title under the Labourers
(Ireland) Act, 1906.
Great Northern Railway (Ireland) Bill.
A letter was read from Messrs Sherwood &
Co., Parliamentary Agents to the Society,
stating that the Private Bill Committee of
the House of Commons, before whom this
Bill came, had struck out Clause 29. The
Council had taken steps to oppose this Clause,
the object of which was to provide that the
award of the Arbitrator as to the amount of
compensation money to be paid for lands
compulsorily acquired under the Act should
be final, thus depriving the owner of his
right of traverse, which the Council con
sidered would be very detrimental both to
owners and to the Profession.
Civil Bill Courts (Dublin) Bill.
The Bill introduced upon 7th July in the
House of Commons dealing with the pro
cedure in the Civil Bill Courts of the City
and County of Dublin was considered. The
Bill gives the Lord Chancellor power to make
rules " with the concurrence of the Recorder
and after consultation with the President of
the
Incorporated
Law
Society" with
reference to various matters set forth in tL<5
Bill.
The Council have, after consultation with
the Northern Law Society, the Southern Law
Association,
the Provincial Delegates and
the General Council of the Bar of Ireland,
prepared a County Courts Bill amending the
County Court procedure and applicable to
the whole of Ireland. This measure is now
ready for introduction, and the Council hope
they may be successful in passing it, and they
therefore decided to oppose the above Bill
which was not sufficiently general
in its
character.
Public Trustee.
The following resolution was adopted :—
" That in the opinion of the Council of the
Incorporated Law Society of Ireland it is
not necessary or expedient
to appoint a
Public Trustee in Ireland.
Certificates.
Three applications of Solicitors for renewal
of
their certificates were considered and
orders made granting the three applications.
Repairs to Premises.
Upon the recommendation of the House
Committee estimates were accepted for some
repairs to the premises of the Society to be
carried out during vacation.
