relevant as the 1956 Act governs conditions in
Ireland. The second part of the work deals with
Workingmens Clubs under the Friendly Societies
Act of 1896 and the Industrial and Provident
Societies Act 1893 (as amended in England by
the Acts of 1965 and of 1969). The Appendix
contains useful model rules of member's club, as
well as of an unincorporated association, of a
Registered, as well as of a Licensed, proprietary
club. English eases on the subject are fully noted,
and some of the difficulties relating to expulsion
of members and to appointment of trustees are
considered. Although this book has to be handled
with care by Irish practitioners, in view of the
fact that it is most unlikely that a book on the
subject will be published in the near future in
Ireland,
this work
can
be
confidently
re
commended
as most
useful
in
considering
various problems that may arise.

worth, 1970, £1-10-0).
We are already indebted to Professor Ivamy
for learned books on insurance law, as well as a
casebook on
the Sale of Goods. The learned
author has now provided a most useful casebook
on 'the law of partnership. At the head of each
case there is a short statement of the principle
involved, followed by a summary of the facts, the
decision given, and extracts from
judgments.
Part I—The Nature of Partnership, contains 7
cases, including
Reith Spicer v. Mansell (1970).
Part ' II—The Relation of Partners
to Third
Parties—contains 10 cases, including
Mercantile
Credit v. Garrod (1962).
Part III—The Relations
of Partners inter se—contains 23 cases, including
a
Solicitor's Arbitration (1962),
and
Pathirana
v. Same (1967).
Part IV—Dissolution of Partner
ship—contains
23
cases,
including
Olver
v.
Hillier (1959), Green
v. Herzog
(1954), and
Whitehall v. Bradford (1952).
Part V—Receivers
—contains 4 cases including
Floydd v. Cheney
(1970).
Part VI—Limited Partnerships—contains
3
cases
.
Part VII—Registration of Business
Names—contains 5 cases. The 75 cases cover
all important aspects of partnership law. This
book
is particularly recommended to all who
wish to improve their knowledge of cases in this
intricate subject.

Professional Organisations in the Common-
Wealth.
Currie (Sir James),
Ed.; London,
Hutchinson (for the Commonwealth Founda
tion), (1970). 8vo. Pp. 511. £4.50
In
1966,
the
Commonwealth
Foundation
decided that it would be essential to compile a
Guide of Professional Organizations
in
the
Commonwealth. The result of these comprehen
sive labours is seen in this volume, in which not
only
law,
but
such
diverse
professions
as
accountancy,
insurance, banking, management,
veterinary
science,
architecture,
dentistry,
education, engineering and medicine, are also
covered. In the section "Law" the various Bar
Associations
and
Law
Societies
are
listed
alphabetically
save
that Australian
provinces
like New South Wales and Victoria are listed
under Australia. Not only is the address of the
relevant organisation given, but in each case, there
are some useful particulars about, Organisation,
Obects, Membership
and Qualifications. The
Bar of Northern Ireland and the Incorporated
Law Society of Northern Ireland are included
but, as we are outside the Commonwealth, we
are
not. Learned
societies
like
the British
Institute of International Law and the Society
of Public Teachers of Law are also included.
Apart from
the professions
listed, there is a
chapter on Professional Societies, which includes
such bodies
as
the Australian Academy of
Science,
the Canadian Museums Association,
Ghana Library Association, etc. This is a most
useful reference book, and the editor must be
congratulated on having issued a volume contain
ing information which will be of immense value
to all.
