SOLICITORS’ BENEVOLENT
ASSOCIATION
T
he
Annual Meeting o f the Solicitors’ Benevolent
Association was held In the' Council Chamber of
the Law Society, Law Courts, Dublin. The
following members were present:
Mr.
R.
A.
A . O ’Brien, Chairman; Mr. Henry P. Mayne,
Vice-Chairman; Mr. Arthur Cox, President o f the
Incorporated Law Society. Messrs. R. V . Judd,
Charles Hyland, John S. G. Sealy, James J . Hickey,
Sean O hUadhaigh, A. E. Walker, Mrs. Eugenie

Eric A . Plunkett, Henry St. J. Blake, Benedict J.
Daly, and Patrick Glynn, Secretary. The Secretary
read the notice convening the meeting and the
minutes o f the last meeting were confirmed. The
Chairman, Mr. R. A. O ’Brien in moving the adoption
o f the report said that annual subscriptions were up
by £173, but that the expenditure on grants and
annuities paid during the year amounting to / 1 7 1
10s. 3d., was also slightly up and would have been
substantially higher but for the fact that vacant
special annuities aggregating £367 had not been
filled. It was essential that the income from
members’ subscriptions should be increased to
ensure the continued stability and usefulness o f the
Association. Mr. O’Brien referred to the Social
Welfare Act, 1951, which had been passed since the
last Annual Meeting. A section in the Act provided
that account should not be taken o f assistance
received from charitable organisations to an amount
not exceeding £52 5s. a year for the purpose o f the
means test under the Old Age Pensions Acts. This
provision was new and would be welcomed not
only by the Solicitors’ Benevolent Association but
by all charitable organisations. He concluded
by asking all members o f the Association to obtain
new members by personal approaches to solicitois
who are not already members.
Mr. Arthur Cox, President o f the Incorporated
Law Society seconded and the Report was
unanimously adopted. On the proposal o f Mr.
Rowland Healy seconded by Mr. Henry St. J.
Blake the Directors were re-appointed. On the
proposal o f Mr. John B. McCann, Mr. Henry D.
Hurley and Mr. Terence de Vere White were re
appointed Auditors. A vote o f thanks to the Press
was proposed by Mr. J. J. Hickey, seconded by
Mr. Dermot McGillycuddy and passed unanimously.
Mr. Henry'P. Mayne moved that Mr. Arthur Cox
should take the second Chair and proposed a cordial
vote o f thanks to the'Chairman for his conduct o f
the Meeting and his work for the Association. This
was seconded by Mr. D. B. Gilmore put to the
meeting by Mr. A. Cox and passed with acclama
tion, This conclude?! the business,
