Proposed New Criminal Courts
THE Council considered a report from a Com
mittee on a letter to the Society from a Govern
ment Inter-Departmental Committee which was
set up to consider the question of constructing a
new block of buildings in the vicinity of the
Four Courts in which all the Criminal Courts
would be situated with the requisite offices and
accommodation. The Committee in its report
recommended that the Government should be
requested to appoint a member of the Council
on
the
Inter-Departmental Committee. The
Council adopted the Committees' report and it
was decided to request the Government to ap
point Mr. Patrick F. O'Reilly as the representa
tive of the Council on the Committee.
Land Registry Stamps
THE Council considered a report from a Com
mittee on the subject of difficulties which arise
owing to the fact that the Stamp Office in the Four
Courts is prohibited by regulation from accepting
the return of unused Land Registry stamps.
It was resolved that the Secretary should discuss
the question with the Registrar of Titles and
should suggest that an office for the sale of
stamps should be established in the Land Registry.
A number of applications from apprentices
were considered and dealt with.
Six applications by solicitors under Section 47
of the Solicitors (Ireland) Act, 1898, were con
sidered and granted, subject to payment of the
current licence duty.
