Reference No. 1. " To report

" whether it be desirable to make the follow-
" ing Amendments in the Bye-laws :
" That Bye-law 3 of the Bye-laws of the
" Incorporated Law Society of Ireland shall
" be amended by leaving out the words from
" ' the amounts ' down to ' other Members,'
" and substituting
therefor
' The annual
" subscription to the Society shall be :
" For members taking out a Dublin Certi-
" ficate who have been admitted for three
"years and upwards, £1... For members
" taking out a Country Certificate who have
" been admitted for three years and upwards
" and are desirous of voting for the Ordinary
" Members of the Council,

" place thereof there shall be substituted the
" following :
" Bye-law 32. All members paying the
" subscriptions set out in Bye-law 3 shall be
" entitled to vote at the election for Ordinary
" Members of the Council save that members
" who have been admitted for upwards of

" Members. Every member taking out a
" Country Certificate and paying the sub-
' scriptions set out in the Bye-law 3 shall be
" entitled to vote for the Provincial Delegate

The Council have considered the effect of
the above suggested amendments, which

the profession less than three years, the right

" the Incorporated Law Society consider the
" question of compulsory membership of the
