To Strike Solicitor off Rolls not by way of Appeal.]-On the hearing of an appeal from a decision in the County Palatine Court, the attention of the Court of Appeal was called to the evidence given by a solicitor in the court below, from which it appeared that he had been guilty of gross misconduct in his character of solicitor with regard to a mortgage on which a question arose in the action. The Court of Appeal directed the official solicitor to take proceedings against him. The official solicitor moved the court for an order calling on the solicitor to explain his conduct or that he should be struck off the roll. The solicitor took no notice of the application : -Held, that the court had jurisdiction to entertain the application; but, having regard to the circumstances of the case, and that the solicitor had not taken out a certificate for several years, the court did not order him to be struck off the roll, or suspend him, but granted an injunction restraining him from renewing his certificate without the leave of the court.
