STAMPS BRANCH—POSTAL SERVICE Further to the article on this matter appearing in Vol. 5 7, No. 7 (January 1964) we are informed that it is possible for all solicitors to lodge documents (together with duty) for stamping at the local branch of the post office by either personal attendance or through that of an agent. The instrument will be accepted by the Post Master who will issue a receipt for same and also for the duty paid. The particulars in regard to each instrument must be inserted by the applicant on a form supplied by the Post Office which will be receipted. The documents when accepted by the Post Master are forwarded to Dublin by registered post and returned from Dublin to the Post Master in a similar fashion. Normal time from the date of lodgment until the document is ready to be taken from the local branch of the Post Office is in some cases as little as four days. The service is free of charge. SOLICITORS AND AUCTIONEERS Arising out of a recent meeting with the Auctioneer's and Estate Agent's Association relating to matters of interest to both solicitors and auctioneers, the Council have directed republication of an article which appeared in Vol. 51, No. 8, February, 1958, page 84, which they felt ought to be brought to the attention of members.
