The Dean Case.
MEAGHER STRUCK OFF THE ROLLS. (Per Press Association.) Sydney, June 1. Meagher, in showing cause why he should not be disrobed, took up the position that he could not violate the confidence of his client, and ihat he hnd paid dearly for any error of judgment he may have made. 13 c submitted, if it was error, he was forced into it, or otherwise he would not have placed hhnself in the unenviable position of diyulging the sacred confidence of hi 3 client. The Full Court struck Meagher off the rolls. The Chief Justice pointed out that Meagher had not token his partner mro his confidence. Had he done so it, is probable lhe firm would have remained (juiescent in the matter of agitating for Dean's release, and left it for the public. As a antler ot fact Meagher made a rnisFtatement to his partner, affirming Dean's innocence. Looking for a motive, the Judge said he could not assume for n moment that Meagher hud sympathised with the criminal, but thought he was prompted by a feeling of Bell-glorification.
