Maxwell and Mr. H. G. Sweetman. THE PRESIDENT, addressing the meeting, said :— Gentlemen—My predecessors in the office of President of the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland have always considered it a great privilege to meet the members of that Society at its Half-yearly General Meetings. This privilege has the advantage of enabling him to review and reconsider with them the various activities of the Council of your Society during the six months preceding the General Meeting, and to take counsel with them as to what has been" done during the last half-year and what is proposed to be done in the succeeding half-year. We are thus enabled to keep in touch with one another throughout the year, and secure that measure of co-operation and encourage ment without which a society cannot successfully pursue its work and secure its objectives. During the half-year just completed, your Council has been called upon to deal with many important matters touching the well- being, not only of the legal profession, but also of the people of this country, and to these matters your Council has given many hours of careful and indeed anxious con sideration. Your Council has had, I think,
