SIR GEORGE ROCHE
thanked
the
President for his address, and congratulated
the Council on the way its duties and work
had been discharged under very difficult and
trying circumstances.
MR. JAMES BRADY drew attention to
the inconvenient hours in the afternoon at
which
some of
the sittings of District
Justices' Courts were held ; he also asked if
progress was being made in the application
of the Colonial Solicitors Act, 1900, to the
Irish Free State.
MR. JOHN MORAN (Dublin) asked if the
Council had any information as
to
the
recommendations of
the
report
of
the-
Judiciary Committee, as he had been informed
that they had been seen by a member of
the profession, and that they were not
satisfactory.
THE PRESIDENT, in reply, stated that
the matter of the Colonial Solicitors Act was
one
in reference
to which a diplomatic
correspondence was at present being carried
on, and as to the report of the Judiciary
Committee, the proceedings of that Com
mittee were private and confidential, and the
Council had not, officially or unofficially, any
information whatsoever in reference to the
report of the Committee.
The chair having been taken by Mr.
Stirling (Vice-President), on the motion of
Sir George Roche, seconded by Mr. James
Henry, a cordial vote of thanks was passed
to the President, who expressed his thanks.
