Damage to Property (Compensation) (Amendment) Act, 1933. The following Memorandum has been received from the Ministry of Finance, containing a statement made by the Minister in the Bail:— Dail Eireann, 18th June, 1935 Mr. MACENTEE— I am aware that a number of persons failed to make application for compensation under the Damage to Property (Compensa tion) (Amendment) Act, 1933, within the time prescribed by the Rules of Court framed under the Act. The question of late appli cations has, however, been the subject of a recent judgment of the High Cou'rt, the general effect of which is that a Circuit Judge has power to extend the time for lodging applications under the Act where it appears to him that such extension is just and reasonable. Accordingly it is open to any person to apply to the Circuit Court for an extension of time to enable him to lodge a claim for compensation under the Act, and it is within the discretion of the Circuit Judge to grant or refuse such an application. Any person who intends to make a claim for compensation would do well to take the necessary steps in the matter without delay. State Solicitors will be instructed to oppose strenuously the grant of an extension of time where the claim is not lodged on or before the 30th September, 1935. re-print of the Examinations held by the Society during 1934 can be obtained in the Secretary's office.
