AMONGST MEMBERS
CENTENARY.
On the 17th day of June, 1841, The Society
of the Attorneys and Solicitors of Ireland was
instituted. The Society obtained a Charter
on the 5th April, 1852, and a supplemental
Charter on the 14th December, 1888, and
under the latter its title was altered to that
of "The Incorporated Law Society of Ireland."
On the seventeenth day of June, 1941, the
Society attained its centenary. The Council
had hoped to celebrate the event in a manner
fully appropriate to the occasion but felt that
owing to the present national emergency the
time was inopportune for the holding of any
public social function.
The Council has
decided in order to mark the event, to found
a Centenary Incorported Law Society of
Ireland annuity, to be administered by the
Solicitors' Benevolent Association, and to
invite subscriptions with this object in view
from the members of the Society, and it is
intended to issue this appeal at an early date.
