THE LAW SOCIETY.

(Tc the Editor.) Sir, —In your issue of the Ist inst. appears a report of the annual meating of the Auckland Law Society, wherein it states that several complaints against solicitors came before the council during the year, but after considering the I statements submitted it was decided no J action could be taken. With regard to I this I beg to say that the complaints j and serious charges I myself have lodged jin August last against certain solicitors iwere sufficient to send mc to gaol for a I loner trim i; I could not substantiate ! those charges. I offered to submit my- ! self to any examination, but all the i satisfaction I got was the reply: ''At a j meeting of the council it was decided i that no action be taken in the matter." No reason whatever assigned. As the t matter is going before a much higher I tribunal than the Auckland Law Society, jit will be interesting at a later stage to i know why the Law Society ignored its j duty. If charges like those which L ! sent to the Law Society are not conj sidered sufficient for any action or in- ■ quiry to be made, then what is, or for ; what object is the Law Society?—l am, I etc., C. H. GREENHEAD. J Waiuku, February 3, 1906.
