APPEAL COURT.
DEFAULTING SOLICITOR DEALT WITH. (BY TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION.) WELLINGTON, July 11. The Appeal Court to-day considered the case of the “Law Society v. John Noden Bullard, of Gisborne, barrister and solicitor, an application to strike the defendant off the roil. It was stated that there was a shortage in his trust account on March 31, 1926, of £6764, and on January 3, 1927, of £1756.
Bullard filed an affidavit in which he did not oppose the application, but stated that his declared partner, E. IT. Mann, had received large sums for which no proper security had been given. It was stated that defendant had paid off over £4OOO of the firm’s debts, but could do no more i The Chief Justice, in giving the judgment of the Court, said that there was no other way open to the Court but- to strike Bullard off the roll; hut if in future the defenadnt showed by his conduct that he might seek readmission, the extenuating circumstance which had been pointed out would, no doubt, be taken into consideration.
