J. R. LONDON'S APPEAL.
FOR REINSTATEMENT AS BARRISTER. Wellington. September 13. The Court of Appeal gave judgment this morning in the application by J. R. Lundon for readmission as a barrister and solicitor. Lundon was struck off the rolls for professional misconduct in December, 1917. The position, said Sir John Salmond, who delivered the judgment of the Court, was that the solicitor was admitted by the Supreme Court, but could only be struck off by the Court of Apepai. The power of readmission, however, lay in the Supreme Court, and the application should therefore have been made to it, and not to the Appeal Court. The application must, therefore, be dismissed. The Court also expressed the opinion that Lundon could not succeed on the merits of his application. It was not sufficient for him to prove he had been a. good farmer; that did not prove him as a fit and proper person t<j l>e a solicitor. The application was dismissed with fifteen guineas costs.
