SOLICITORS AS MONEY-LENDERS
I MR. JUSTICE COOPER'S VIEWS. f By Telegraph.—Press Association. , Auckland, Monday. I The Supreme Court was occupied 10 8 day in hearing a ease in which Georgi . Ellis claimed from Oliphant and UattU.i- , solicitors, the sum of £lB lis Bd, as bal * anee of an account, and asked the Coj'il ,' to declare a letter of indemnity vo; I . In the course of the proceedings. Mr f Justice Cooper said:—'The profess™ I of a money-lender is entirely incomput t able with the profession of a solicitor oi . this Court. Judges in the Appeal Court , have struck solicitors off the list fci , being bookmakers. To my mind, it :s '. much more incompatible with the praatice of a solicitor of this Court to be a money-lender, and representations ought to be made in the proper quar- . ter."
