you or a witness; of no instance when Counsel or a witness had been cut short unfairly by your Lordship. Your deep understanding of the problems of the advo- cate's role in our Court system has made our task an infinitely easier one. Your patience has given confi- dence even to the most junior practitioner. You have by your unassumed courtesy and mending patience helped us to carry out our responsibilities as barristers. No matter how difficult has been the case it has always been a pleasure for every member of the Bar to appear in your Lordship's Court. In the nature of things, only a minority now of the practising members of the Bar had the privilege and pleasure of working with you as a colleague. Your Lordship, I think, will know how deep the affection is which is felt by those who knew you personally at the Bar. Your Lordship should, however, also know that this affection is shared by all the members of the Bar, even the most junior. It is my hope that this knowledge may contribute to the happy days of leisure and tran- quility which it is all our wish now lie before your Lordship. Mr. P. C. Moore, President of the Incorporated Law Society, then said : My Lords and Mr. Justice Budd : on behalf of the Incorporated Law Society as representing the Solicitors' Profession I wish to record our appreciation of the great contribution you have made in your Judicial Office to our Irish Legal System and to the people of the Nation. Your sterling qualities are well known to us all; your unfailing courtesy, your understanding of the advocates role and in particular your ability to listen—one of the great attributes of the Judicial office—has been univer- sally recognised. The Irish Law Reports and your unreported Judg- ments are testimony of your deep insight into our Juris- prudence on the Chancery and Equitable side of our Court's Jurisdiction. For this contribution the Solicitors' Profession are grateful, as it enables them to advise, help and guide the people who seek their aid with reasonable certainty and assurance towards the solution of their problems. "Gardiner Budd" as you are affectionately referred to by your colleagues will occupy a special place in the hearts of your many admirers and it is only fitting to refer to the great contribut on you have made in chair- ing the Commission on the "Law of Bankruptcy" result- ing in the creation of that Masterpiece of research, the recent Report on this Topic. It is our hope that this monumental work will soon find reality by its translation into action as part of our Statutory Law and so necessary in the public interest. We congratulate you my Lord on this work. We wish you many happy yerrs in your retirement and thank you for your gracious scrvicc and help to us all both as an advocate and in your judicial office. The Chief Justice, speaking on behalf of the Judi- ciary, spoke of the deep regret the Judges felt in losing the services of such a valuable colleague as Mr. Justice Budd. Mr. Justice Budd thanked everybody and said that, having served under three Chief Justices, he valued the co-operation he had always obtained from the other Judges, and the invaluable assistance which solicitors and barristers had given him.
