The Council will, on Thursday, 2nd July,

room of Mr. Joseph S. Geraghty, Barrister-
at-law, whose term of office will expire at the

LIBRARY.
A rule has been made by the General
Council of the Bar prohibiting the borrowing
from the Bar Library by its members of
books for their use in the Circuit Courts.
In consequence of this rule country members
of the Incorporated Law Society have been
giving written authority to counsel to borrow
in the name of the member from the Society's
Library such books as counsel may require
for use in Court in a case in which he may
be about to appear for the member in a
Circuit Court.
This practice has caused
much inconvenience in the management of
the
Society's
Library,
particularly
.
in
reference to volumes of Reports. The Bar
Library contains as many as three and four
sets of various Law Reports. The Society's
Library contains one set of each of its
Reports.
'
The Council of the Bar was requested'by
the Council of the Society to reconsider its'
rule but refused to do so, and in consequence
the Council of
the Society has found it
necessary to make the following regulation :
The Council directs that no book be lent out
of the Society's Library for the use of Counsel.
The Council desires that members of the
Society, both City and Country, may be
assured that this regulation will not interfere
with the borrowing of books by members of
the Society for their personal use.
