LONG SERVICE.
THE death of Mr. Thomas Doyle, which took place
on February 6th brought to a close a life that was
probably unique amongst law clerks in Ireland.
In the year 1899 he joined the staff of Messrs.
D. & T. FitzGerald, and remained with them until
his death, a period of nearly 57 years. For the last
half century while serving four generations of the
FitzGerald family Thomas Doyle was a familiar
figure in the Law Courts, where he was well known
to
judges, barristers and solicitors.
His wide
knowledge of procedure was at all times at the
disposal of his colleagues, and few who met him,
even recently, could guess from his youthful appear
ance that he was a man in the middle seventies.

STANDARD FORM OF PERSONAL
UNDERTAKING.
IN view of complaints which have been received by
the Council about difficulty in having personal
undertakings fulfilled, it has been decided to publish
for members' use the standard form of personal
undertaking printed below.
It will also be printed
yearly in the Society's
Calendar and Law Directory.
It is suggested that members of the Society should
adopt this form both when giving undertakings or
accepting them from others. Although consideration
for an undertaking may support a civil action on it,
consideration is not in the view of the Council
necessary to bind a solicitor professionally to his
obligations in the undertaking. A solicitor is always
bound by a personal undertaking whether given in
the undermentioned or any other form. A solicitor
to whom an undertaking is offered may ask that it
should be in this form which has been approved
by the Council.
