THE Secretary was directed to send a copy of the statutory list of practising solicitors to each County Registrar and District Court Clerk, to the Taxing Masters and to the Secretary of each local Bar Association and to request that particulars of any case in which a solicitor practises without a certificate shall be submitted to the Council so that the

institution of proceedings in the name of the Society may be considered. Society's Final Examination. Parts I and II. IT was resolved that from the autumn final examina– tion 1955 inclusive an apprentice shall be entitled to take papers i, 2 and 3 as Part I of the examination and papers 4, 5 and 6 as Part II of the examination and that an apprentice who satisfies the examiners in either Part shall be exempt from further examina– tion in that part. The resolution will not alter the present regulations for the award of the Overend and Findlater Scholarships ; competition for these will be confined to candidates taking the two parts together. The first entry fee will cover one attempt at each part and renewal fees will be payable for each subsequent attempt in respect of one or two parts. Continuation of practices of deceased solicitors. THREE applications under section 61 of the Solicitors Act, 1954, for permission to carry on the practice of a deceased solicitor on behalf of the persona representatives were considered and granted. 21
