" RESOLVED—The attention of the Council
" of the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland
"having been called to the fact that solicitors
" have been invited by advertisement to send
" in
tenders
to Boards of Guardians
for
"transacting business in connexion with the
" Labourers Acts, the Council feel bound to
" state, for the guidance of members of the
"profession, that it is
in their opinion un-
" professional
for
solicitors
to
tender for
" business in reply to such advertisements" ;
and it was ordered that a copy of this resolution
be sent to the solicitor.
Court Sittings.
Upon the suggestion of a member of the
profession, it was resolved to write to the Lord
Chancellor, requesting that upon days upon
which meetings of the Benchers are held at
11 o'clock a.m. a notice should be inserted
in the Legal Diary, announcing a definite hour
at which the Courts would sit for the disposal
of business.
Certificate.
An application by a solicitor for renewal of
his certificate was submitted, and granted.
Apprentices.
An application by an apprentice who had
passed his Final Examination, for an order
under section 25 of the Solicitors (Ireland) Act,
1898, sanctioning his having acted upon three
occasions as deputy registrar for a Clerk of the
Peace at a revision of voters, was considered;
and as the Council considered it was an office
of such a character as would benefit
the
apprentice in his education and not interfere
with his service, it was resolved not to oppose
the application.
A memorial from a law clerk and intending
apprentice, praying for a modified Preliminary
Examination under section 18 of the Solicitors'
(Ireland) Act, 1898, was submitted, and it was
decided not to oppose the granting of the
