THE Council considered reports from the Court

of Examiners on applications by

two persons

who are not citizens of Ireland, 'one being a Dutch

subject, and the other a citizen of Hungary, for

liberty to enter into Indentures of Apprenticeship.

The Court of Examiners reported that it is the

solicitors in Ireland of persons who are not Irish

citizens, and

it was ordered

that

the persons

concerned be

informed

that

if they obtained

certificates

of nationalisation

under

Nationality

and Citizenship Act,

1935,

their

applications will be further considered, but that

unless

they can produce evidence to show that

they have become citizens of Ireland, the Council

will be obliged

to oppose their applications.

The Court of Examiners also reported that an

application had been received from a person born

in England, but who is not a citizen of Ireland,

for liberty to enter into indentures of apprenticeship,

and that it had been ascertained by the Secretary

that a citizen of Ireland is under no disability in

regard to being qualified for admission as

an

apprentice to a solicitor in England. It was ordered

that the applicant be informed that no objection

would be taken to his entering into indentures

of apprenticeship.
