The Poverty Bay Herald has the following :— At Wellington, Justice Richmond in letting off the lawyer Shaw, who had to show why he should not be disbarred tor sticking to a client's money and not earning it, said " a practitioner who got money from a client, did little , or nothing for it, and beeame insolvent, was ia a very painful position for a' man of honor." This was gentle sarcasm. No man of honor ever did such a thing. There are plenty of lawyers without any honor — some in 6isborne-?-with whom it is a. very common practice.
