Income Tax Collection. A letter in reply from the Revenue Com missioners was read stating that the Income Tax Collector who had claimed professional costs of proceedings taken by him in person for recovery of income tax under Section 11 of the Finance Act, 1924, was not certain as to the costs that the Court might allow him. He soon, however, understood that he should not claim professional costs for a personal application, and that no such claim had been made for a considerable time. Irish Manuscripts. A letter was read from the Irish Manu scripts Commission enclosing a draft of a proposed circular letter intended to be issued to Solicitors in Ireland seeking information as to the existence of any documents of Irish historical value among the papers in their offices.
