The Gazette of the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland.
31
memorial presented by County Monagban
solicitors, stating that it would be inadvisable
at present to summon a special meeting of the.
solicitors of Ireland in support of the abolition
of Certificate Duty, was adopted.
A further
report from
the Parliamentary
Committee, recommending a reply to be sent
to the Northern Law Society, stating that at
this stage of the session, having regard to what
has already taken place this session in Parlia
ment in reference to the abolition of Certifi
cate Duty, it would be futile to present a
petition to the House of Commons on the
subject, was adopted.
It was decided by the Council to communi
cate with the English Law Society and the
Incorporated Society of Law Agents of Scot
land, and to ask those two societies to join
this Society in the movement originated by
this Society for the abolition of solicitors'
Certificate Duty.
A letter was read from the Secretary of the
Local Government Board, in reply, stating that
the Board could not see their way to make any
alterations at present in their rules under the
Labourers Acts, and in these circumstances
the Board considered no useful purpose would
be served by their receiving the proposed de
putation on the subject from the Incorporated
Law Society.
This matter was referred to the Joint Com
mittee, consisting of members of the Council
of the Society and of the District Council
Solicitors' Committee, to take such action as
such Joint Committee would deem desirable
in reference thereto.
