MISSING DOCUMENTS IN
CENTRAL OFFICE.
The Society has learned that a very considerable
number of solicitors' documents, including original
papers lie unclaimed in the Central Office of the
High Court. These documents must, in some cases,
be of some considerable importance to solicitors
and their clients and it is likely that in some cases
solicitors have been inconvenienced by being unable
to trace them.
Solicitors, and particularly Dublin
solicitors who have country correspondents who
have lost documents there should enquire at the
Central Office.
