[AUGUST, 1914
Resident Magistrate, through the death of
Mr. Robert L. Brown. The Council desire
to respectfully submit to His Excellency
the Lord Lieutenant that in appointing to
this vacancy, the claim of the Solicitors'
profession to have one of its members
appointed is entitled to consideration in
priority to any other claims which may be
made.
The
latest appointment
of
a
Solicitor
to
the
office
of
Resident
Magistrate was made upon 6th June,
1910 ;
there have been nine appointments
since made, four of whom were formerly
Army Officers, three Royal Irish Constabu
lary Officers and two Barristers. There are
at present sixty-four Resident Magistrates,
of whom sixteen are Barristers, forty-two
were either Constabulary Officers or persons
engaged in other pursuits, and only six are
Solicitors.
The Council hope that His Excellency
will on this occasion accede to the request
of the Council and appoint a member of
the Solicitors' profession to the office.
I remain,
Your obedient Servant,
(Signed), W. G. WAKELY,
Secretary.
