THE SOCIETY OF YOUNG SOLICITORS
A lecture on Bankruptcy was delivered to an
Ordinary Meeting of
the Society on the 25th
November, 1965, by Mr. Desmond J. Collins,
solicitor.
As is well known, Bankruptcy is a subject in
which Mr. Collins
is very
interested, and on
which he
is a recognised authority. This was
clearly shown by the interesting and informative
manner in which the lecture was presented. A
very lively and stimulating discussion
followed
the lecture.
A lecture on Probate Office practice was deli
vered to the Society on the 6th January, 1966
by Mr. P. R. Higgins, Probate Registrar. In the
course of the lecture, the effects of the Succession
Act 1965 were discussed, and integrated with
existing practice and legislation.
The discussion which followed showed the in
terest of members in the changes resultant on
the Succession Act being passed and general
practical difficulties consequent on the passing
of this Act.
Transcripts will be available shortly.

sented
in a most
interesting and
informative

lively and far ranging dis
