CORRECTIONS
T
he
name o f Mr. David R. Pigot, Junior, who
served his apprenticeship with Mr. David R. Pigot,
21 Kildare Street, Dublin, was inadvertently omitted
from the list of apprentices admitted as solicitors
from ist August, 1951, to 31st July, 1952, printed
in the last issue o f the Society’s
G
azette
.
Solicitors’
Remuneration
General
Order, 19 5 1 .
A
member
has drawn attention to the fact that in
the Society’s
G
azette
for March, 1952, at Page
77, it was stated that Rule n , Part 1, Schedule I,
S.R.G.O., 1884, had been rescinded with effect
from ist January, 1951. This was a misprint for
1 st January, 1952, which was the date on which
the Solicitors’ Remuneration General Order, 1951,
came into operation. Any member who may have
been misled by the error is asked to note the correc
tion.

qualities had been placed entirely at their disposal,
added very much to the enjoyment o f the parti
cipants. In the morning a 14 hole singles competition
on a stableford-stroke basis resulted in a win for

and pleasant culmination to a most enjoyable
meeting. Many tributes to the hospitality of the
Southern members were paid by the visitors includ
ing Mr. M. S. Matthews, Captain o f the Society
on behalf o f Leinster and Mr. D. P. Marrinan,
President of the Belfast Solicitors’ Association on
behalf o f Ulster. Mr. C. J. Daly, President of

the dinner replied suitably on behalf o f Munster
and expressed his appreciation o f all those who
by their attendance and other efforts had contributed
to make the meeting such an outstanding success.
