SITTINGS AND VACATIONS OF SUPREME COURT AND HIGH COURT. The Minister of Justice has signed new Rules prepared by the Rules Committee which will, in effect, replace Order XXXI of the Rules of 1926. The principal alteration effected by the new Rules is to appoint fixed vacations in lieu of the former Easter and Whit vacations, which will be independent of the variation of Easter Sunday and Whit Sunday in the calendar from year to year. The new Rules were published in Iris Oifigiuil on 27th November, 1942. DISTRICT COURT RULES, 1941. No. 2. The Rules which relate to the enforcement of Court Orders abolished through an error Forms 16 to 28 (relating to Ejectments and other matters) printed in Schedule I Part II of the 1926 Rules. It was apparently intended to abolish Forms 21 to 28 which relate to the enforcement of Court Orders but Forms 16 to 20 were inadvertently included. This obvious. mistake is now to be rectified by The District Court Rules, 1942, published by the Stationery Office. LAND REGISTRY FORM. The attention of the Council has been drawn to a clerical error in Form 22 in the Schedule to the Land Registry Rules, 1937, which is a form of voluntary transfer of free hold Land, by a registered full owner, with a power of revocation. The words " To revoke the use hereby limited to E.F." in paragraph 2 should read " To revoke the use hereby limited to C.B." and practitioners should note this clerical error when using the form. SCHOLARSHIP, 1942. The Overend Final Examination Scholar ship (Real Property and Conveyancing) has been awarded to James A. Casey. The . Overend Preliminary Examination Scholarship and the Findlater Scholarship for 1942 will not be awarded.
