Local Bankruptcy Court Rules.
A LETTER was read from the Clerk of the Privy
Council with reference to the request of the
Council of this Society that the rule fixing the
scale of costs for Local Bankruptcy Courts
in small cases should be assimilated to the
corresponding Supreme Court
rule.
The
letter stated by direction of
the Lords
Justices, that the question had again been
carefully considered, but that the representa
tions now made did not disclose any grounds
which were not before the Irish Government
when they came to a decision in the matter
in August
last,
and
their Excellencies,
therefore, regretted that they were unable to
accede to the application of the Society.
It was ordered that copies of the corres
pondence be sent to the Northern Law Society

Order.
