STAMPS BRANCH—POSTAL SERVICE
Further to the article on this matter appearing in
Vol. 5 7, No. 7 (January 1964) we are informed that it
is possible for all solicitors to lodge documents
(together with duty) for stamping at the local
branch of the post office by either personal attendance
or through that of an agent. The instrument will be
accepted by the Post Master who will issue a receipt
for same and also for the duty paid. The particulars
in regard to each instrument must be inserted by the
applicant on a form supplied by the Post Office
which will be receipted.
The documents when
accepted by the Post Master are forwarded to
Dublin by registered post and returned from Dublin
to the Post Master in a similar fashion. Normal
time from the date of lodgment until the document
is ready to be taken from the local branch of the
Post Office is in some cases as little as four days.
The service is free of charge.
SOLICITORS AND AUCTIONEERS
Arising out of a
recent meeting with
the
Auctioneer's and Estate Agent's Association relating
to matters of interest to both
solicitors
and
auctioneers, the Council have directed republication
of an article which appeared in Vol. 51, No. 8,
February, 1958, page 84, which they felt ought to
be brought to the attention of members.
