STRUCK OFF THE ROLLS.
Sydney, June .1
Meagher, iu showing cause to-day why he should not be disrobed, took up tho position that he could not violate the confidence of a client, and that ho had paid dearly for any error of judgment ho may have made. He submitted that if it was an error he. •vas forced into it, or otherwiso lie would havo put himself iu the unenviable position of divulging the sacred confidence of a client.
The Full Court struck Moagher off the rolls.
The Chief Justice pointed out that Meagher had not taken his partner into his confidence. Had he done so it was probable tho firm would have remained quiescent in the matter of agitating for Dean's release, and left it to tho public. As a matter of fact Meagher made a doliberate misstatement to his partner by affirming Dean's innocence. Looking for a motive, the Judge said ho could not assume for one moment that Meagher had sympathised with the criminal, but he thought he was prompted by a feeling of self-glorification.
