Commissioner to Administer Oaths. THE Lord Chancellor has appointed the following to be a Commissioner to administer Oaths :— Florence A. Greene, Solicitor, 11 Wellington Quay, Dublin. Obituary. MR. MICHAEL E. O'BEIRNE, Solicitor, died upon the 1st April, 1911, at Ashford, Co. Wicklow. Mr. O'Beirne, who served his apprentice ship with his uncle, the late Mr. M. J. Hanmore, 2 Inns' Quay, Dublin, was admitted in Hilary Sittings, 1902, and practised at No. 2 Inns' Quay, Dublin, and at Bray, under the style of M. J. Hanmore, O'Beirne and Co. Irish Land Commission. LAND PURCHASE ACTS. ' A deputation from the Council have had an interview with Mr. Justice Wylie in reference to the notice to Solicitors which appeared in the Legal Diary, upon the subject of having Schedules of Incumbrances settled and listed without delay. As a result of the discussion which took place at this interview, the Council draw the attention of members to the fact that purchase money amounting to over £4,300,000 has been paid into Bank (as to a very large portion thereof within the last few months) to credit of estates by the Land Commission, and waits allocation. Rulings on title have been issued in respect of this purchase money and with a view to securing an early allocation of it,

and to prevent applications for the shortening of times in notices prior to the Long Vacation, the Council would impress on members the desirability of having the queries on title discharged with all possible expedition and Final Schedules lodged, and in cases in which titles have not been lodged, which would appear to be the case in purchase money amounting to over £150,000 which has been brought to the credit of estates, it is essential that such titles be brought in at once, so as to enable the Land Commission to deal with and distribute such purchase money. The Council think it well that the pro fession should also be informed that it is advantageous to lodge titles as soon as possible after the lodgments of agreements for sale, and not to wait until the receipt of notice that advances have been sanctioned.
