occasioned by the death of their colleague,
the late Mr. Daniel J. Reilly, who died on
the 29th January, 1941. Mr. Reilly was a
member of the Council from the year 1925
and was President of the Society for the
year 1938-39. -

the profession, of which he was an
honoured and respected member.

deceased brother, Dan Reilly.
In January we also
lost an esteemed
member of our profession, Mr. Claude J.
Rutherfoord, who was for many years Law
Agent to the Bank of Ireland, and in the
