LAND COMMISSION PRACTICE. THE following memorandum has been received from the Secretary of the Irish Land Commission and is printed for the convenience of members. The memorandum was drawn up by the Land Commission following representations made by the Council last year on the subject of delays in transacting business in the Land Commission. It is hoped that members by attending to the matters mentioned in the following memorandum will assist the Secretary of the Land Commission in endeavouring to eliminate some of the causes of delay. The Council will take up with the Land Commission any complaints received from members of unreasonable delay in the transaction of business. Solicitors who consider that they have ground for complaint and who wish the Council to make representations to the Land Commission would be advised to see that, for their part, they have followed the suggestions made in the following memorandum, as otherwise the Council may be at a disadvantage in discussing the matter with the Land Commission. 1.
