Chief Justice Prendergast saiJ it was true that the rule nisi was obtained in 1895, but the solicitor had been called upon to answer the charges a considerable time before that date. The party alleged to have been injured hid not voluntarily brought the matter before the Law Society or the Court, and it was that fact tint had been responsible for a considerable por tion of tlio delay of six years which had taken place in bringing it to a h?ad.
