My dear President, Twenty years ago, after a series of disgracefu delalcations by solicitors, some members of the Law Society, with SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, whom I was associated, pressed for. action to be taken by the society serious scandals (inter alia) by re- recurrence of these to prevent gulations compelling solicitors to keep their clients' moneys in separ motion, defeated as a general meet- ate banking acconats. After a ing in the hall, had been carried or a pall of the members of the society, a committee was appoint ed, but nothing effective resulted, and interest in the matter gradually. evaporated
Recently, after another disgrace ful iaries of frauds, the Law Society, was forced to take action by the introduction of a Bill in the House, of Commons and a flood of questions addressed to the Government on the subject On May 9, 1830, the Coun cil, unanimously, if I remember rightly, passed the following re-
solution:-
"This Council are of opinion, with a view of promoting the dis- cipline of the profession and the keeping of special accounts, steps should be taken to provide for the compulsory membership of the society, and that with that object, at the next meeting of the society instructions should be requested to promote a Bill for that purpose, and for the discipline of the pro- fession and the keeping of
special accounts."
