THE PRESIDENT, addressing the meeting,

said :—

It has been the practice for the President

in his address at the May General Meeting

to refer to matters of interest which arose

since the holding of the November General

Meeting.

Members who read the GAZETTE will have

noticed that a number of Solicitors who

occupied prominent positions in the pro

fession have passed away. Amongst them

one stands out as entitled to special notice.

I refer to Mr. Arthur H. Julian, of Cork,

who was admitted a Solicitor in the year

1872. He died in the month of February of

the present year, and during his years was

an outstanding member of the profession.

A few years ago when the interest of the

country Solicitors was awakened by the

movement, the result of which was the

election of many of them to the Council,

Mr. Julian—then a very senior member of

the provincial Solicitors—showed a youthful

energy that was astonishing. His enthusiasm

and his energy were largely responsible for

the widespread interest engendered amongst

the provincial Solicitors.

The profession as a whole may well regret

his death, and cannot fail to cherish the

memory of, one who never failed to do his

duty to his profession.
