July 12th.
Land Commission.
The Council having drawn the attention
of the Land Commission to delay in dealing
with applications for the consent of
the
Commission
to
partitions
of
purchased
holdings, a letter in reply was read stating
that " every endeavour is being taken to
dispose of these cases as rapidly as possible,
but owing to the number of men who are
at present absent on military service it
has not been possible to prevent some little
delay occurring. The particular branch of
the Department which deals with this
work
has,
however,
recently
been
strengthened, so as to prevent any incon
venience arising to the public."

Legislation for the Government of Ireland.
The President reported that, as requested
by the Council, he had interviewed both Sir
Edward Carson, M.P.,
and Mr.
John
Redmond, M.P. He had submitted to them
the request of the Council that in the event
of new legislation for the Government of
Ireland they should endeavour to secure that
such legislation should not alter or affect the
status of the .Society, or the rights and
privileges of those who have been admitted
as Solicitors in Ireland, or who are at present
serving under articles of apprenticeship;
and that the position of those Solicitors who
act as Dublin Agents of Solicitors practising
in the counties and cities intended to be
" excluded " from coming under the Govern
ment of Ireland Act, 1914, should receive
special consideration. The President stated
that both Sir Edward Carson and Mr.
Redmond
had
listened
attentively and
sympathetically to his statement, and had
promised that the matter would receive their
attention.
