competent graduates in the Universities into such problems was considerably overdue. The lecturer next considered how successful solicitors were in achieving the ends of justice. It seemed to him that few solicitors would give advice at a price the ordinary litigant could afford to pay. Due to this factor, a great majority of the population have had little contact with Solicitors. It would seem that this state of affairs will have to change radically as a tendency towards litigation is bound to increase in the future. A more ambitious legal aid scheme is bound to develop gradually. It is also important to note that in future solicitors will be concerned more and more to defend the rights of the citizens against the State. In order to achieve this, it is essential that solicitors should achieve a degree of economic independence where they can speak their minds openly in Court with out fear or favour. The solicitors must therefore provide an efficient service in the future. By Order of the High Court dated 20th March, 1970 it was directed that the above named Solicitor who practices as Colfer Son & Poyntz, New Ross, Co. Wexford be struck off the roll. It was also directed that no payment should be made from any bank account of the Solicitor or his firm without permission of the Court. Subsequent orders were made suspending the operation of the order striking off the Solicitor and that matter stands adjourned. The freezing order is in opera tion subject to orders subsequently made authoris ing payment of certain cheques and any further orders which may be made to the same effect.

The Sunday and daily newspapers during the Easter weekend, March 29th-30th, carried an nouncements for a proposal for a trade union known as Comhar na nAturnaetha (the Solicitors' Union) which, as published, contained contra dictory information. It was stated that of 1,400 solicitors throughout the country who were can vassed an estimated 73 per cent were in favour of forming a union and that the Incorporated Law Society had recently hinted that the time had come for solicitors to form their own union. The press announcements were followed by a circular letter dated 30th March 1970 issued to a number of solicitors over the names of Mr. Thomas K. Smith, President and Mr. Michael B. O'Maoileoin, Secretary of the Union inviting them to join it and to pay a subscription of £20. The information contained in the press statements was incorrect in that the Law Society had never been consulted, had never been aware of the proposed union and had never suggested that a union was necccsary or desirable. Enquiries made by the Society failed to discover that any survey of the profession was made. The President of the Society, Mr. James R. C. Green issued a press release followed by a cir cular to the profession stating these facts. Mr. Donal T. McAuliffe and Mr. Michael Kelly who were named in the circular letter of March 30th as trustees of the union have written to the Secretary of the union requesting that their names be withdrawn and they have asked the Council of the Law Society to inform the pro fession that they are not trustees and have no 128 SOLICITORS ASKED TO FORM A TRADE UNION
