THE SOCIETY OF YOUNG SOLICITORS

A lecture on Bankruptcy was delivered to an Ordinary Meeting of the Society on the 25th November, 1965, by Mr. Desmond J. Collins, solicitor. As is well known, Bankruptcy is a subject in which Mr. Collins is very interested, and on which he is a recognised authority. This was clearly shown by the interesting and informative manner in which the lecture was presented. A very lively and stimulating discussion followed the lecture. A lecture on Probate Office practice was deli vered to the Society on the 6th January, 1966 by Mr. P. R. Higgins, Probate Registrar. In the course of the lecture, the effects of the Succession Act 1965 were discussed, and integrated with existing practice and legislation. The discussion which followed showed the in terest of members in the changes resultant on the Succession Act being passed and general practical difficulties consequent on the passing of this Act. Transcripts will be available shortly. A lecture was delivered to the Society on the 27th January, 1966 on Registration of Title, by Mr. Desmond McAllister, Registrar of Title. This lecture was delivered in a detailed manner tracing the development of the present law, and quoting decisions thereon, the whole being pre sented in a most interesting and informative manner. Again, a lively and far ranging dis cussion followed on this very wide subject. Transcripts of this lecture will be available shortly. Intending members should send subscriptions to the Hon.
