Land Purchase.
A deputation from the Council have had
an interview with the Judicial Commissioner
in reference to a Land Commission Notice
to Solicitors, which has recently appeared
in the
Legal Diary,
dealing with future
procedure in cases where allocation takes
place after the Closing Day, and at that
interview it was arranged that the attention
of members should be directed to this matter
in the Society's GAZETTE.
The Council desire, accordingly, to draw
the attention of members to the urgent
necessity of expedition on the part of Vendors'
Solicitors, so that allocation should take
place before the Closing Day.
The Judicial Commissioner informed the
deputation that he is always ready to hear
applications in reference to requisitions on
title issued by an Examiner which
the
Solicitor may find himself unable to discharge.
Where the Closing Day has passed before
allocation, the Examiner is, by direction of
the Judicial Commissioner, not to vouch any
sum for Vendor's costs, and in all such cases
an
affidavit by
the Vendor's Solicitor
explanatory of the delay in the case will be
necessary on the ruling of the Schedule of
Incumbrances by the Judicial Commissioner
when the item of the Vendor's costs is being
dealt with.
Assessment of Damages to Property.
The Council received, on the 17th January,
a joint deputation consisting of Mr. G. P,
Sheridan, President, and George F. Beckett.
Hon. Secretary, of the Royal Institute of
Architects ;
and Mr. Pierce F. Purcell,
President, and Mr. J. Chaloner Smith, Hon.
Secretary,
of
the
Institution
of Civil
Engineers, who urged the Council to use its
influence with the members of the Solicitors'
profession to secure the employment of pro
fessionally qualified persons in the prepara
tion of claims, and the assessment of damages
to property, in malicious injuries cases. The
Council, in reply, assured the deputation of
their sympathy with the views put forward,
and intimated that the matter would be
brought before the members of the Society
in this GAZETTE.
The Council desire to urge on the members
of the Society, so far as they may find it
practicable,
to
employ
professionally
qualified persons for the purposes indicated.
The deputation stated that there is no fixed
scale of remuneration laid down for this work
by either of the bodies represented by the
deputation, the matter of remuneration being
one for arrangement with the professional
person employed.
The Secretary of this
Society has received lists of the names and
addresses of the members of both bodies, and
he will furnish to any member of this Society
who may apply the names and addresses of
the professional men resident in any particular
district in Ireland.
