MEETING OF THE COUNCIL.
20th June.
Twenty-five Members present.
Solicitor's Name struck off Roll.
The Secretary reported that the Chief
Justice had made an order, on the applica-
|
tion of Counsel on behalf of the Society,
directing the name of John J. Tully, of
Dublin, to be struck off the roll of Solicitors
by reason of his conviction for fraudulent
conversion of money to his own use.
Free State Statutes.
A letter in reply, dated 17th June, was
read from the Controller of the Stationery
Office, stating that publication of the bound
volume of Statutes for 1933 would take
place within the next ten days. The letter
further stated,
in explanation,
that the
volume is unusually large, occupying 1,500
pages, and that the folding, gathering and
collating of such a large quantity of material
is a matter requiring much time and care to
ensure perfect accuracy; and, further, that
the volume in question is no doubt an
exception, and that the Society can be
assured
that
it
is unlikely
that future
volumes will be so long delayed.
Damage to Property (Compensation)
(Amendment) Act, 1933.
Correspondence with members in reference
to a question affecting Solicitors arising under
this Act was submitted, and it was resolved
to take the opinion of Senior Counsel in
reference thereto.
Costs Query.
The following report from the Costs Com
mittee on query submitted for decision was
adopted :—
What is the scale fee payable to Vendor's

of

Remuneration Act, Schedule I, Part I, on
a purchase, the consideration money being

of
