Benevolent Association and to make certain that all their members are subscribers. The Auditor of the Solicitors' Apprentices' Debating Society did me the honour of inviting me as your President to preside at their debate with the Law Students' Debating Society and the Law Societies of Trinity College and University College, Dublin, for the Benchers Trophy, and I am very glad to be able to report that the Solicitors' Apprentices' Debating Society were successful for the second time in winning this annual contest. Now to conclude, if I may be permitted a personal note, I would like to thank the Council for the great honour which they conferred upon me in electing me President for this year, and also to thank the general body of the members of this Society for returning me to the Council year after year and so making possible my election as President. I wish to thank my two most competent Vice-Presidents, John Nash and Neil Daly, for all their support and assistance and all the members of the Council and the Sub-Committees for the whole-hearted work and advice which they have given so willingly in the interests of the well-being of the profession. Finally there is our Secretary, Eric Plunkett, always available at the right hand of the President to guide and assist him.. Only those who have been President of this Society can possibly realise the tremendous amount of thought and work which Mr. Plunkett gives to every problem affecting the solicitors' profession and how impossible a President's work during his year of office would be without his ever-willing assistance. The President announced that he nominated the following members of the Society to act as scrutineers of the ballot for the election of the Council to be held on igth November, 1959 : John R. McC. Blakeney, Thomas Jackson, Brendan P. McCormack, Alexander J. McDonald and Roderick J. Tierney. On the motion of Mr. Ignatius M. Houlihan the chair was then taken by Mr. John J. Nash, Vice- President. Mr. Houlihan proposed a vote of thanks to the President which was carried with acclamation. The President having replied the proceedings were concluded.
