tion of the Report having referred to the number
of supplementary grants made on account of the
high cost of living totalling £945 and to the annuities
totalling £793 ios. 6d. paid during the year, stated

He appealed to members of the profession
—both North and South—to become members
of the Association in order that adequate relief be
given.
The Chairman also referred to the over
crowding of the profession which must lead to a
lowering of professional standards. The President
seconded the adoption of the Report which was
passed unanimously.

Patrick Glynn, had resigned in the course of the
year and had been co-opted to the Board.

DUBLIN SOLICITORS' BAR
ASSOCIATION
A MEETING of the Council of the Association was
held on Wednesday, the 6th of February, 1957.
The Council expressed wholehearted support for
the Law Society's attitude towards costs drawers'
fees, and also drew attention to the unfairness of
costs in Land Commission cases being paid in
Land Bonds,in particular as regards outlays which
the solicitor has to bear in cash. A draft scale of
costs for proceedings under the Enforcement of
Court Orders Acts has been prepared, and has been
submitted to the Law Society, and to the Chief
Clerk of the Dublin Metropolitan District Court.
The rearrangements which the Minister for Justice
has made in respect of the Dublin County District
Courts will it is hoped lead to a marked improvement
in the position there, and are attributed by the
Association to its representations to the Minister.
Thanks are due to an able and hardworking Sub-
Committee on this matter.
Arrangements have
also been made as far as possible to assimilate the
practice of the Dublin County District Courts in
enforcement matters with the Metropolitan Court.
A final Draft Letting Agreement has been pre
pared, and will shortly be circulated to members
of the association for their assistance.
Suggestions have been made to the Minister
for Justice for the improvement of the system of
taking depositions in the District Court with a
view to preserving the essentials of the present
system,
and effecting a considerable saving of
time.
Subscriptions for the current year are due, and
any member who has not yet paid is requested to
do so, and so simplify the work of the Honorary
Treasurer.
The next meeting of the Council of the association
was fixed for the 6th of March, 1957.
