Solicitors Act 1954 (Professional Practice, Conduct and Discipline) Regulations, 1955. DRAFT regulations circulated with the Agenda were considered and adopted with amendments and it was ordered that the regulations should be tabled to be signed at the next meeting of the Council. Registry of Deeds delays. CORRESPONDENCE from the Dublin Solicitors' Bar Association was considered and it was decided that representations should be made to the Registrar of Deeds. Land Registry Maps. ON a report from a committee drawing attention to the fact that the Land Commission requires a certified copy of a Folio with an application for sub-division, since the practice of showing the areas on the map has been discontinued by the Land Registry, the Council directed that further representations should be made to the Registrar of Titles that the old practice should be revived. Sealing of Documents by Local Authorities. MEMBERS complained of deky in sealing of releases by the Dublin County Council and Dublin Corpora– tion and pointed out that the local authorities concerned will not seal such documents until the money payable under the release has been received by the local authority. It was ordered that a letter should be written to the City and County Manager pointing out the inconvenience to members of the public and suggesting that the ordinary practice of sealing the documents and holding them under a certificate of escrow should be adopted.
