THE PRESIDENT, addressing the meeting, said : Gentlemen, I rise to move the adoption of the Annual Report of the Council, which you have in your hands, but before dealing with the Report in detail, I have to refer with very deep regret to the great loss which the Council has sustained by the death of Mr. James Gaffney, who died on the 21st day of October. Mr. Gaffney was one of the best- known Solicitors in Ireland, and filled many public positions. He was a member of the District Court Rule Making Authority under the Courts of Justice Act, and was a Pro– vincial Delegate for Munster on the Council of the Law Society since the year 1919 up to the time of his death. The Council will miss his genial personality and the advice which his great experience as a Solicitor qualified him to give.
