examinations, ended in “ the final.” In the majority of cases several lean years followed, in which the solicitor was either an assistant in an estab­ lished firm or trying to get together a connection. If, after years of hard work, he was, at the age of 40, earning £700 or £800 a year and making pro­ vision against old age, he could count himself more successful than the majority. The earnings of many solicitors fell below this level, and it was not surprising that there were poor and necessitous solicitors and widows and families seeking relief from the association. Mr. O’Brien paid tribute to the late Mr. William S. Hayes, saying that the Association, the profession and general public had sustained a great loss in the passing o f an outstanding solicitor and citizen. The Association’ s income from all sources during 1950 was slightly down, the gross total for the year being £2,066. There had been a disposable income oY £1,767. The amount ■ paid in relief (£1,708) was the largest in the history o f the Association. Mr. Roger Greene, President o f the. Incorporated Law Society o f Ireland, seconded the adoption of the report, which was agreed. Re-election o f the present directors was proposed by Mr. Ivan Howe, seconded by Mr. R. Healy, and agreed. Votes of thanks to the Press and to the chairman were proposed by Mr. A. G. Quirke and Mr. R. D. English. The annual report showed that there was now no annuity o f the Association less than £40. “ The claims on the Association during the present year are likely to increase,” it is stated, “ and unless there is a substantial increase in income it will be necessary to resort to capital to meet the demand upon the Association.” Thanks are recorded for the receipt o f a total of £3,940 from the estate o f the late Henry F. Chidley and a legacy o f £ 100 from the estate o f the late Thomas George Quirke. INDEX OF STATUTORY INSTRUMENTS Received by the Society pursuant to the Statutory Instruments Act, 1947.
