Finance (1909-10) Act, 1910. LAND JUDGE'S COURT.

THE following letter has been received in reply to the request of the Council that the Land Judge should issue directions to Solicitors having carriage, as to filling of forms, and dealing with provisional valuations affecting lands for sale in the Court, or over which Receivers have been appointed. High Court of Justice (Ireland), Chancery Division, Land Court, 30th July, 1912. SIR, I have been in consultation with the Land Judge in reference to your letter of the 17th instant, and the memorandum from the Council of the Incorporated Law Society which accompanied it. The Land Judge has instructed me to prepare regulations in reference to the mode of dealing with forms and provisional valua tion issued by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue under the Finance (1909-10) Act, 1910, in reference to lands which are for sale in this Court, or over which Receivers have been appointed. I have submitted a rough draft of such regulations to the Land Judge, but having regard to the time of the year I do not think it probable these regulations can be formally approved of until the Sittings re-open in October or November. The draft I have made provides that when such forms or provisional valuations are sent to the Receiver Office they shall be forwarded to the Solicitor having carriage of the pro ceedings of the suit or matter to which they relate. That such Solicitor shall furnish the information required by such forms, and in the case of provisional valuations shall make such claims for site value deductions as he considers to be just in the interest of the estate, and that if such deductions are not allowed he shall take the directions of the Land Judge as to the desirability of an appeal under Section 33. The draft also contains provisions for remuneration being given to the Solicitor for his work in connection with these matters and, subject to review by the Land Judge, empowers the Receiver Examiner'to fix such remuneration.
