SOLICITORS BLACK-LISTED

SIX STEUOK OPP EOLL. (Per Press Association.—Copyright.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The Court of Appeal yesterday dealt with applications from the New .Zealand Loav Society to have A'arions practitioners struck off the rolls of barristers and solicitors of the Dominion. , In .the case of John Champion Miller, solicitor, of Inglenmod, counsel | tfor the Loav Society stated that over a •period of months his banking has been short and that the shortage had not been accounted for. The total shortage amounted to £52 39/6, Avhich had since been made good by his relatives. An order Avas made striking him off the roll of solicitors. Counsel who appeared for Harrold Hales Hutchison, solicitor, of Palmerston North, said the facts Avero not in dispute. There was a deficiency of £ll2, which since had been made good. As the practitioner was comparatively a young man, he asked that the extreme order of striking him off be not made, but that some period of suspension be imposed. The Court, iiOAvevcr, held that the usual order of striking off should be made with costs. Similar orders Avore also made by consent against 'William Perry llollings, of Wellington; Douglas Barrington Kent, of Waipukurau; and Albert Lionel Bailey and Walter Hislop, both of Napier.
