taken by the Law Society, and directed
that the
matter be referred to them.
The meeting also considered
the subjects of
Executor and Trustee Precedent Form, the problems
arising on the borrowing of deeds from the Dublin
Corporation, possible improvements in the Legal
Diary, and
certain
recent newspaper publicity
hostile to the profession.

themselves. The Council concluded that the Circuit
Court Rules are clear on the subject, and decided
not to take any action.
The next meeting of the Council was fixed for
