The following was among the business transacted :
Circuit Appeals. Subpoenas.
Members wrote referring to the inconvenience of
the practice whereby subpoenas for the hearing of
Circuit appeals in the country can be issued only
by the Central Office o f the High Court in Dublin.
The matter was referred to a Committee which
reported that it would be an advantage to members
practising in the country if subpoenas fo the
hearing of Circuit appeals could be issued by the
County Registrar without reference to Dublin.
The Society’s representatives on the Superior
Courts Rules Committee were asked to bring the
matter before that Committee with a view to the
passing of new rules giving effect to the Committee’s
recommendation.
Appointment o f Notary Public.
The Secretary reported that he had received
notice o f an application by a person who is not a
solicitor for appointment as Notary Public.
It
was ordered that counsel should be briefed to
oppose the application and that counsel should
submit that having regard to the responsible duties
o f the office an application for appointment as a
Notary by a person without professional legal
qualifications should not be granted.
