exhorting those solicitors who are not members
already o f the Society to-' join it immediately. It
should be -the first act of every Solicitor on his
admission to join the Society. :
The several topics to which I have so briefly
referred constitute merely some of the heads of the
work transacted by the Council. Those o f you
who read the reports of the meetings- o f the Council
in bur
Gazette:
will have some idea of the field
which has to be covered. It would be burdensome
for me to attempt to particularise, all now. I f there
are any points upon which I have not touched, I
hope that they will be raised in the questions which
I shall now invite.”
Mr. T. Desmond McLoughlin asked whether the
Council were considering the long standing question
o f the appropriation of part of-the stamp duty on
Indentures of Solicitors’ Apprentices for the purpose
o f the Kings Inns. The President replied that the
question of stamp duty payable on the Indentures
of Solicitors’ Apprentices generally was receiving the
attention of the Council. Mr. Desmond Moran
asked whether the Council had made any represen
tations on the subject of the fixed Easter vacation
introduced in 1942 which, he said, has resulted in
the loss of a week for the hearing o f High Court
actions in an average year. The President stated
that this matter was under consideration by the
Council in co-operation with the General Council
of the Bar.
Mr. John Carrigan moved a vote of. thanks to
the President.for. taking the Chair and for his speech
at the meeting. The. President briefly replied and
as there was no further business the proceedings
terminated. .
