Proposed New Criminal Courts THE Council considered a report from a Com mittee on a letter to the Society from a Govern ment Inter-Departmental Committee which was set up to consider the question of constructing a new block of buildings in the vicinity of the Four Courts in which all the Criminal Courts would be situated with the requisite offices and accommodation. The Committee in its report recommended that the Government should be requested to appoint a member of the Council on the Inter-Departmental Committee. The Council adopted the Committees' report and it

was decided to request the Government to ap point Mr. Patrick F. O'Reilly as the representa tive of the Council on the Committee. Land Registry Stamps THE Council considered a report from a Com mittee on the subject of difficulties which arise owing to the fact that the Stamp Office in the Four Courts is prohibited by regulation from accepting the return of unused Land Registry stamps. It was resolved that the Secretary should discuss the question with the Registrar of Titles and should suggest that an office for the sale of stamps should be established in the Land Registry. A number of applications from apprentices were considered and dealt with. Six applications by solicitors under Section 47 of the Solicitors (Ireland) Act, 1898, were con sidered and granted, subject to payment of the current licence duty. 69
