LUNDON'S APPEAL DISMISSED.

WELLINGTON, this day. The Appeal Court, in giving judgment in the application to strike J. R. Lundon off the roll of solicitors, considered Lundon must have known Fletcher's condition was not normal when he agreed to pay one hundred pounds for obtaining the release of money from the bank. He should have acquainted Fletcher with the fact that the bank would not release the money, which was on fixed deposit, till the expiry of the term. The Court is satisfied Lundon offended by not making this known, also tnaTuie charge of one hundred pounds was not justified by the services rendered The Court was forced to the conclusion that no reliance is to be placed on Lundon's statemenrthiraT agreement existed whereby payment of £IOO was to cover all work connected with obtaining the money from the bank for Fletcher. His conduct was such that the Court must make absolute the rule nisi striking Lundon off the roll of barristers and solicitors, with costs to the Law Society on the middle scale as from distances.
