TESTIMONIALS AND CERTIFICATES BY SOLICITORS The Council think it advisable to draw the attention o f the profession to frauds, in which solicitors have been inadvertently implicated, which have been perpetrated on the British Commissioners o f Inland Revenue. In areas with large migratory populations there have been several cases o f the falsification o f Church baptismal certificates for the purpose o f claims for income tax relief by Irish citizens working in England. Genuine baptismal certificates were obtained, the particulars thereon were bleached out by some chemical process, false particulars were superimposed, and the certificates, as altered, were submitted to the Commissioners of Inland Revenue in London. In one case the false particulars were typed in by a macnine which was proved to have belonged to a solicitor and was at the material time in use m his office,-as weR as By. 64
