you or a witness; of no instance when Counsel or a
witness had been cut short unfairly by your Lordship.
Your deep understanding of the problems of the advo-
cate's role in our Court system has made our task an
infinitely easier one. Your patience has given confi-
dence even to the most junior practitioner. You have
by your unassumed courtesy and mending patience
helped us to carry out our responsibilities as barristers.
No matter how difficult has been the case it has always
been a pleasure for every member of the Bar to appear
in your Lordship's Court.
In the nature of things, only a minority now of
the practising members of the Bar had the privilege
and pleasure of working with you as a colleague. Your
Lordship, I think, will know how deep the affection
is which is felt by those who knew you personally at the
Bar. Your Lordship should, however, also know that this
affection is shared by all the members of the Bar, even
the most junior. It is my hope that this knowledge
may contribute to the happy days of leisure and tran-
quility which it is all our wish now lie before your
Lordship.
Mr. P.
C.
Moore,
President of the Incorporated Law
Society, then said :
My Lords and Mr. Justice Budd : on behalf of the
Incorporated Law Society as representing the Solicitors'
Profession I wish to record our appreciation of the great
contribution you have made in your Judicial Office to
our Irish Legal System and to the people of the Nation.
Your sterling qualities are well known to us all; your
unfailing courtesy, your understanding of the advocates
role and in particular your ability to listen—one of the
great attributes of the Judicial office—has been univer-
sally recognised.
The Irish Law Reports and your unreported Judg-
ments are testimony of your deep insight into our Juris-
prudence on the Chancery and Equitable side of our
Court's Jurisdiction.
For this contribution the Solicitors' Profession are
grateful, as it enables them to advise, help and guide
the people who seek their aid with reasonable certainty
and assurance towards the solution of their problems.
"Gardiner Budd" as you are affectionately referred
to by your colleagues will occupy a special place in the
hearts of your many admirers and it is only fitting to
refer to the great contribut on you have made in chair-
ing the Commission on the "Law of Bankruptcy" result-
ing in the creation of that Masterpiece of research,
the recent Report on this Topic.
It is our hope that this monumental work will soon
find reality by its translation into action as part of our
Statutory Law and so necessary in the public interest.
We congratulate you my Lord on this work.
We wish you many happy yerrs in your retirement
and thank you for your gracious scrvicc and help to us
all both as an advocate and in your judicial office.
The Chief Justice,
speaking on behalf of the Judi-
ciary, spoke of the deep regret the Judges felt in losing
the services of such a valuable colleague as Mr. Justice
Budd.
Mr. Justice Budd
thanked everybody and said that,
having served under three Chief Justices, he valued the
co-operation he had always obtained from the other
Judges, and the invaluable assistance which solicitors
and barristers had given him.
