A. Mr. Montagu.—The matter has been
carefully considered. My Right honourable
friend, however, does not see his way to remit
the certificate duties, which in the circum
stances
referred
to by
the honourable
Member would, as he is doubtless aware, only
be payable in the case of Solicitors who
continued, directly or indirectly, to practice.

Land Purchase Acts Advances.
THE following correspondence has taken place
on the above subject:—
The Irish Landowners' Convention.
Offices—4 Kildare Street,
Dublin,
25th November,
1914.
Advances under Irish Land Purchase Acts.
DEAR SIR,
Referring to my recent conversation with
you, I now enclose copy of a letter which I
addressed to the Registrar of the Estates
Commissioners on the 12th inst., and his
reply thereto of the 21st inst.
I have since heard from Mr. Drennan,
saying that the Estates Commissioners have
no objection to the publication of this corres
pondence in the " Solicitors' Journal," should
you consider it desirable to have these letters
so published, in order to inform Solicitors
that the Estates Commissioners are prepared
to give 14 days' notice of their intention to
advance purchase money, either wholly or
partially in Stock, in all cases in which the
Vendors or their Solicitors apply that such
notice may be given.
Yours very truly,
(Sgd.)
GEO. P. STEWART.

Advances under Irish Land Purchase Acts.
DEAR SIR,
It appears that, owing to the present crisis
due to the war, there is no market for Land
Stock. Under these circumstances I write on
behalf of the Executive Committee of the
Irish Landowners' Convention to ask that,
in all cases where the purchase money is
payable partly or all in Stock, under the Act
of 1903, and also in all voluntary sales under
the Act of 1909, notice may be given by the
Estates Commissioners
to
the Vendor's
Solicitor, and also the agent named in the
Originating Application, as least fourteen
days previous to any advance being made.
I would ask that the notice should state
that the Commissioners will make the advance
unless any special circumstances regarding the
estate may be brought to their notice which
might make them decide otherwise.
This would
give
such Vendors
an
opportunity of putting before the Estates
Commissioners any special circumstances
regarding the estate in respect of which it is
proposed that the purchase money should be
so advanced.
Yours faithfully,
(Sgd.)
GEO. P. STEWART.

DEAR SIR,
In reply to your letter of the 12th instant,
I am directed by the Estates Commissioners
to state that they are prepared to give 14
days' notice of their intention to advance
purchase money either wholly or partially in
stock in all cases in which the Vendors or
their Solicitors apply that such notice may
be given.
Yours faithfully,
(Sgd.)
