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