JUNE, 1922]
The Gazette of the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland.
MR. JAMES BRADY expressed great
regret that the Northern Law Society had
obtained a Charter and that the members
of that Society sought to leave this Society.
He also expressed the opinion that on the
Four Courts being occupied last month by
an armed force, the legal profession should
have closed down and declined to carry on.
SIR GEORGE ROCHE
said he was
satisfied that the Council did all they could
with reason to prevent the Northern Law
Society from dissociating themselves from
their southern brethren. He drew attention
to the inconvenience arising on re-sealing
grants obtained
in
the Southern
and
Northern Courts respectively and to the
difficulty and expense attendant on obtaining
a refund of
the estate duty paid a second
time.
THE PRESIDENT
stated
that
the
Council could not have taken steps to prevent
the Northern Law Society obtaining a
Charter, but the fact of the Charter having
been obtained would not prevent the two
Societies working
in
harmony
for
the
benefit of
the profession generally. He
maintained that they adopted the right
course in carrying on as best they could the
work of the Society when their premises
were taken last month. The business of the
Courts was being carried on at King's
Inns at the request of
the Provisional
Government, and it would be a strange
anomaly to have the Courts sitting and the
Society refusing to co-operate.
The chair
having been
taken by Mr. A. D. Orr,
Vice-President, upon
the motion of Sir
George Roche, seconded by Mr. Stapleton,
a cordial vote of thanks was passed to the
President, who thanked the meeting.
