Mayo in 1867, and to the combined offices of Clerk of the Crown and Peace for Co. Mayo in 1877, which offices he held up to the time of his death. MR. JAMES P. HALL, Solicitor, died upon the 27th December, 1916, at Ballyshannon. Mr. Hall served his apprenticeship with Mr. John Ryan, Limerick, was admitted in Trinity Sittings, 1886, and practised at Limerick up to the year 1906. In the House of Commons on the 18th December, on consideration of the above Bill as amended in Committee, the Chief Secretary for Ireland moved the insertion of amended clauses giving the Land Judge jurisdiction to make charging orders for moneys to be advanced by the Corporation of Dublin for the purposes of re-building. In dealing with the matter of the registration of the charging orders, the Chief Secretary who had given notice of an amendment providing for their registration in a register to be kept by the Corporation of Dublin, stated that representations had been made to him by the Council of the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland that the register he proposed was not the best to have formed, and he stated that an amend ment had been drafted in accordance with the suggestions of the Incorporated Law Society, in which he understood the Land Judge concurred, and which amendment would be moved by Mr. Brady in place of the amendment on the paper. Mr. Brady moved to insert the following new sub-section to clause 4 :— " It shall be the duty of the Corporation to cause each charging order to be registered forthwith in a special register to be kept for the purpose by the Registrar of Deeds. The special register shall be kept, and registration therein shall be effected in such manner as may be prescribed by regulations made by the Land Judge, and Dublin Reconstruction (Emergency Provisions) Bill.

the registration of an order in accordance with those regulations shall be in substitu tion for registration under any enactments relating to registration, and the order and the charge thereby created shall be exempt from the provisions of any such enactments accordingly. " The regulations may— " (a) Provide for the register being open for inspection at all reasonable times, and for the issue of certificates as to orders registered, and as to entries with respect to any specified land or interest; " (b) Prescribe the fees which may be charged for inspection or for certificates, and the method in which the fees are to be applied and accounted for; " (c) Provide for any other matters in respect of which, in the opinion of the Land Judge, provision ought to be made." Mr. Brady stated that he would like to take the opportunity on behalf of the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland of thanking the right hon. gentleman for the sympathetic consideration which he extended to the representations made by the Society to him, and also to the learned judge who is to take charge of this matter. There was no controversy about this clause. The Dublin Corporation had had an opportunity of considering it. It was considered very undesirable that a new register should be set up in view of the existing Registry of Deeds. All the parties, including the Pro perty Losses Association, had considered the matter, and this new sub-clause has been agreed to. The amendment was agreed to. New Solicitors. THE following were admitted during Dec., 1916:— Name Semed Apprenticeship to McCarthy, William J. ... Henry J. Marshall, Lis- towel. Meagher, Jas. Anthony Michael S. Bergfin, 56 Rut land Square, Dublin. Younge, Francis S. ... Lewis J. Walters, Kil kenny.
