MR. JAMES BRADY expressed great regret that the Northern Law Society had obtained a Charter and that the members of that Society sought to leave this Society. He also expressed the opinion that on the Four Courts being occupied last month by an armed force, the legal profession should have closed down and declined to carry on. SIR GEORGE ROCHE said he was satisfied that the Council did all they could with reason to prevent the Northern Law Society from dissociating themselves from their southern brethren. He drew attention to the inconvenience arising on re-sealing grants obtained in the Southern and Northern Courts respectively and to the difficulty and expense attendant on obtaining a refund of the estate duty paid a second time. THE PRESIDENT stated that the Council could not have taken steps to prevent the Northern Law Society obtaining a Charter, but the fact of the Charter having been obtained would not prevent the two Societies working in harmony for the benefit of the profession generally. He maintained that they adopted the right course in carrying on as best they could the work of the Society when their premises were taken last month. The business of the Courts was being carried on at King's Inns at the request of the Provisional Government, and it would be a strange anomaly to have the Courts sitting and the Society refusing to co-operate. The chair having been taken by Mr. A. D. Orr, Vice-President, upon the motion of Sir George Roche, seconded by Mr. Stapleton, a cordial vote of thanks was passed to the President, who thanked the meeting.
