SOLICITOR REBUKED.
NO JUSTIFICATION FOR PROCEEDINGS. (ratss issocuno* teliciiuJ, HAMILTON, December 7. "There is not the slightest justification for these proceedings, and I cannot express too strongly my disapproval of them," commented Mr Justice Herdman, in strongly rebuking Mr W. Noble, solicitor, of Te Kuiti, for instituting a Supreme Court action on behalf of a plaintiff at Hamilton to-day. "The extraordinary feature is that defendant was about to exercise his power of sale when negotiations were entered into with the mortgagee for a settlement, the terms of which were signed by Noble," proceeded his Honour. "Acting for plaintiff he withdrew the imputation of misrepresentation by the execution of a document in which complete contractions were made. How plaintiff has now been put to the expense of a baseless Supreme Court action alleging misrepresentation is for his solicitor to explain."
"The unfortunate man will have to pay the co»ts of litigation in which he had no right to be involved," sharply commented his Honour, "and his solicitor must accept the responsibility."
