On the 17th day of June, 1841, The Society of the Attorneys and Solicitors of Ireland was instituted. The Society obtained a Charter on the 5th April, 1852, and a supplemental Charter on the 14th December, 1888, and under the latter its title was altered to that of "The Incorporated Law Society of Ireland." On the seventeenth day of June, 1941, the Society attained its centenary. The Council had hoped to celebrate the event in a manner fully appropriate to the occasion but felt that owing to the present national emergency the time was inopportune for the holding of any public social function. The Council has decided in order to mark the event, to found a Centenary Incorported Law Society of Ireland annuity, to be administered by the Solicitors' Benevolent Association, and to invite subscriptions with this object in view from the members of the Society, and it is intended to issue this appeal at an early date.
