Mr. Exham served his apprenticeship to the late Mr. Thomas Exham, Cork, was admitted in Trinity Sittings, 1874, and practised as senior partner in the firm of Thomas Exham and Sons, at 10 South Mall, Cork. A CORK colleague writes :— The late Mr. Henry Exham was born on 27th April, 1853. He was educated at Knights School, Cork, and admitted a solicitor in 1874. Until two years ago he came to business regularly every day. He was a very able conveyancer and had a wide experience in Estate Duty Law. In his youth he was a keen yachtsman and continued to take an interest in the sport. He was a member of the firm of Thomas Exham and Sons, who are prob ably the oldest legal firm in Cork city, as they have been in existence since the beginning of the 18th and probably from the late 17th century. The earliest name of the firm was Carlton and Exham, but the partners for the last four or five genera tions have been solely Exhams. It may be doubted if there are many firms in Ireland with such a long record. Mr. Exham's brother, the late Mr. Alfred Exham, was solicitor to the Cork County Council and one of the leading local government lawyers in the country. Mr. Henry Exham was universally respected and looked up to by his fellow solicitors in Cork, and his passing severs a respected link with the past. CORRECTION. IN the obituary notice of the late Mr; William J. Skinner in the last issue of the Gazette it was stated that he had served his apprenticeship to the late Mr. James G. Skinner of Mitchelstown. This was a clerical error and we are glad to state that Mr. James G. Skinner—who formerly practised at Mitchelstown—is still living and practises at Clonmel. LEGAL APPOINTMENT. MR. PATRICK J. O'SULLIVAN, Solicitor, Tipperary, has been appointed County Registrar for County Tipperary. Mr. O'Sullivan was admitted in Hilary Sittings, 1936, and practised since his admission in Tipperary.
