[AUGUST, 1911
consents necessary to be filed in the Land
Commission where agreements have been
entered into for sale of the lands under the
Land Purchase Acts, and portion of the
lands agreed to be sold has been acquired
under the Labourers Acts.
Counsel had
advised that at present he sees no means of
obtaining a decision of a Court of Law on the
question. This opinion has been forwarded
to the Local Government Board with a
request that they will state how they propose
the opinion of a Court of Law on the question
could be obtained.
Belfast Corporation Bill.
This Bill, in the form in which it has
passed the House of Commons, was sub
mitted. Clause 36 of the Bill, as originally
introduced and which clause the Council
actively opposed, was struck out of the Bill
in Committee. It was proposed by the clause
that for the purpose of taking land rom-
pulsorily under the Act and of determining
the amount of compensation payable by the
Corporation in respect of such land, the
provisions of the Lands Clauses Acts should
be deemed to be amended by the provisions in
.the Second Schedule of " The Housing of the
Working Classes Act, 1890," and that that
schedule should be deemed to lie incorporated
in the Corporation Act. The effect of this
provision would have been that there would
have been no appeal from a decision of an
Arbitrator awarding to a claimant a sum of
less than £1,000 compensation.
Preliminary Examination.
A memorial of a law clerk, under Section
18, seeking a modified preliminary examina
tion, was considered, and it was decided that
same should not be opposed.
Court of Examiners.
A report from the Court of Examiners upon
an application by a law clerk for leave to be
bound under Section 16 was submitted, and
the application was granted.
