late Mr. Thomas Exham, Cork, was admitted in
Trinity Sittings, 1874, and practised as senior
partner in the firm of Thomas Exham and Sons,
at 10 South Mall, Cork.
A CORK colleague writes :—
The late Mr. Henry Exham was born on 27th
April, 1853. He was educated at Knights School,
Cork, and admitted a solicitor in 1874. Until two
years ago he came to business regularly every day.
He was a very able conveyancer and had a wide
experience in Estate Duty Law.
In his youth he
was a keen yachtsman and continued to take an
interest in the sport. He was a member of the
firm of Thomas Exham and Sons, who are prob
ably the oldest legal firm in Cork city, as they have
been in existence since the beginning of the 18th
and probably from the late 17th century. The
earliest name of the firm was Carlton and Exham,
but the partners for the last four or five genera
tions have been solely Exhams.
It may be
doubted if there are many firms in Ireland with
such a long record. Mr. Exham's brother, the
late Mr. Alfred Exham, was solicitor to the Cork
County Council and one of the leading local
government lawyers in the country. Mr. Henry
Exham was universally respected and looked up
to by his fellow solicitors in Cork, and his passing
severs a respected link with the past.
CORRECTION.
IN the obituary notice of the late Mr; William J.
Skinner in the last issue of the
Gazette
it was
stated that he had served his apprenticeship to
the late Mr. James G. Skinner of Mitchelstown.
This was a clerical error and we are glad to state
that Mr.
James G.
Skinner—who
formerly
practised at Mitchelstown—is still living and
practises at Clonmel.

MR. PATRICK J. O'SULLIVAN, Solicitor, Tipperary,
