COURT OF APPEAL.
A SOLICITOR SUSPENDED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Nov.' 3. The Court of Appeal gave judgment in connection with an application by the New Zealand Law Society (October 19) to strike off the rolls or suspend E. J. Stewart, solicitor, of Ham ’1 ton. Stewart was alleged to have made improper use of a client's money, and also to have been drinking to excess. Mr. Justice Hosking delivered the judgment of the court. The plain fact was, he said, that Stewart appropriated £2OO of his client’s money to his own use. The court could not regard the offence as other than serious. There were, however, certain mitigating circumstances, and, in view of these, Stewart would be merely suspended from practice for six months and ordered to pay costs ( £25) and disbursements.
