STRUCK OFF THE ROLLS.
I Sydney, June 1. Meagher, in showing cause why he should not be disrobed, took np the position that he could nob violate the confidence of a client, and that he had paid dearly for any error of judgment he may have made. Ho submitted it was an error. He was forced into it, or otherwise he wonld have put himself in the unenviable position of divulging the saored confidence of a client. The Pull Court ptruok Meagher off the roUa. The Chief Justice pointed out that Mgagber had not taken his partner into his confidence. Had he done bo it was probable the firm would have remained quiescont in the matter of agitating for Dean's release, and left it to the public As a matter of fact Meagber made a deliberate miifttatement to hie partner, by affirming Daan'e innooence. Looking for a motive, the judge eaid he could not assume for one moment that Meagher had sympathised with a criminal, but thought he was prompted by a feeling of self-glorification.
