Lord COLERIDGE, C.J.-This is a case of some importance, and is, in many respects, a disagreeable one for us to adjudicate upon. We have before us a gentleman who for many years has been a solicitor in considerable practice, and of good reputation. The charge against him, so far as I can follow it, is not one of direct dishonesty, in which case the punishment would have been heavier than that which we shall be called upon to pronounce under the circumstances of the case, but is one of unprofessional and dishonourable conduct. The case against him is that he was the solicitor to a bankrupt's estate which was being administered in the Court of Bankruptcy. The bankrupt was a person who had been in considerable position in the city of London. He became bankrupt, and among other securities were five policies on the life of himself, two for £500 each being in the National Provident Institution, and three for £300, £200, and £150 in the National Life Assurance Company. Now, of these policies one alone was unincumbered, that was the one for £150, all the others were incumbered. One of the policies for £500 was deposited as collateral security for £450, which sum had been advanced on the security of certain leasehold premises which had been mortgaged, and the other £500 policy was charged with payment to one Milbank of a sum which exceeded its surrender value. Afterwards, at a meeting, there was some question as to what should be done with these policies. It was proposed that £70 should be given for all the policies. Mr. Roche proposed to give £50, and finally £60 was agreed to, at which sum all the policies, subject to charges on them, were made over to Roche, who was then solicitor to the bankrupt, and this sale was invalid without the sanction of the Court of Bankruptcy. Soon afterwards, on the next day in fact, the leasehold property was sold for £850, or £450 more than it was mortgaged for, so that the proceeds of the sale paid off the incumbrance and released the policy which then came into Roche's hands, and it is plain that, whatever the result was, all the policies passed to Roche for a small sum. Now this was in August, and in October it. £105 was paid by Roche to Milbank, the sum the latter agreed to take in discharge of his claim against the bankrupt, so that Roche got the second £500 policy into his possession clear from all incumbrances. On the 4th of November Clark, the bankrupt, died, and one question in the case is whether at the time this transaction took place Roche was aware that the death of Clark was imminent. Even if he was, his conduct was not actually dishonest or fraudulent, although another name might easily be found for I am of opinion further-and I am desired by my brother Grove, who is obliged to be away to say-that he concurs, that what seems to us the true result of the case is, not that Roche knew definitely that Clark was in a dying state, but that it appeared that he was in a critical state of mental health and could not transact business; and this being so, my brother Grove and I think that, considering the state of Clark's health, some competent person should have been called in to value these policies, with regard to the surrounding circumstances. Clark being in bad health the surrender value was not the true value; the surrender value is simply fixed upon without reference to the health of the person assured, and is, I assume, the sum upon the payment of which the insurance office gets quit of the bargain whatever it may be. The real value of the policy is not of any account just now, but to take these five policies on something approaching the surrender value was an act which was not creditable to Roche as a professional man. Further, I am much impressed by the circumstance I mentioned in passing, I mean the payment of £105 to Milbank in October; that shows that in October Roche had become aware that it was worth his while to get the policy free from incumbrance, and by paying the £105 he got the policy relieved from all charge. Roche must have known then what was the state of Clark's health. Then, with regard to the further proceedings in this case, Clark died in November, and in March, after having had his attention called to the fact that the transaction was disputed, Roche goes to the first office and gets the two £500 policies paid to him. The second office told him that the sanction of the Court of Bankruptcy must be had before they paid their three policies. Roche is informed of that in March, 1878, and from that time to November, 1878, le remains with the £1,000 received from the first office in his possession, after notice given by the second office that the sale of the policies is one which cannot be upheld, nor, as far as we can see, did Roche take any steps to pay back to the bankrupt's estate any of the £1,000. Now, without setting up any high standard of morality in this case by which to judge Roche, and by which one would be unwilling to be bound one's self, 1 cannot help remarking upon this retention of the £1,000. What would any man of good principle have done under similar circumstances? Surely he would either have repaid the money when the act was called in question, saying that he had done what he had in good faith, or be would have said that he was in the right, and have taken steps to enforce his claims. But Roche kept the £1,000, and did not attempt to enforce payment of the other policies which the second office had refused to pay. The notice of this transaction is taken in November, and Roche says that he consulted his counsel, who told him that he could not maintain his case, because of the Court of Bankruptcy not having given their sanction to the sale. Then comes the question of the action for libel against the City Press, and here, I must say that Roche's conduct cannot be taken as being what was due to his own character. The Law Society called upon Roche for an explanation, which he makes, but they say it is not satisfactory. Roche then says he hopes that the Law Society will not act until his action against the City Press is finished. The Law Society, acting with great propriety, as I think, stay their hands. The case comes on, and Roche consented to the action being settled on the terms of a stet processus, and the payment by him of a sum of £200 as costs, the counsel for the City Press stating that there was no stain on the plaintiff's character. I think that, on the whole, the course advised by counsel was the best, and had I been there I should probably have given the same advice. Had the case gone on the plaintiff might have been embarrassed by the question of privilege, and, as it was, counsel got all they could get. For a time the plan adopted by counsel was a success; still Roche had told the Law Society that he meant to vindicate his character in open conrt. He might have put himself into the witness-box and have explained all matters in doubt; he could have pressed for an investigation into his character. Roche might have said, There are matters behind which make it necessary that the case should be fought to the end. I do not want to appear hard upon Roche, but the advice of his counsel, though good for those who had to look no further than the end of that case, was, in the end, most unfortunate counsel for Roche. Having looked at the matter, as far as I can, from all points of view, the result of my consideration is, that a solicitor of long standing, and who has presumably studied law for some long period, says that he did not know that in acting as he did he was doing anything technically wrong. I object to the word "technical" unless to expresses the signification of some term peculiar to the art or science which any person professes, and therefore I object to the term technically wrong. Roche was solicitor to a trustee to a bankrupt, and should have known that the purchase of the policies was not in accordance with his character as solicitor to the trustee. Roche makes his affidavit on oath, and I do not therefore disbelieve him, but it strains my powers of belief, I must say, when I am asked to believe what he says was the case. He buys this valuable property under circumstances of the gravest suspicion, and he says that he did this for the benefit of Mrs. Clark, the widow of the deceased bankrupt, in order to make her a present of one of the policies on her husband's life, which he, Roche, had bought for a small sum. This may be so, but it seems to me to be a most peculiar form of charity, for why not have given her the sum paid for the policies? Roche must pay all costs incurred by the Law Society in all the proceedings, and we have considered what punishment should be inflicted upon Roche. Ever since I have sat in this court I have been opposed to the sentence of suspension because, as a rule, the party who suffers most is the victim and not the solicitor. Of Roche himself I know nothing, and have no reason to suspect that he has been guilty of such conduct on former occasions; I therefore look upon this as an isolated offence for which striking off the rolls would not, in my opinion, be a proper punishment. The case, as I said, is not one of fraudulent, though it is one of dishonourable, conduct. On the whole, therefore, the rule must be made absolute as to the suspension of Mr. Roche for the period of two years, and he mnst pay all costs incurred. Solicitor for the Law Society, Williamson. New Orders, Etc. PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS. The following rules for the guidance of magistrates in tegard to the conduct of publie prosecutions under the provisions of the Prosecution of Offences Act have been approved by the Lord Chancellor and the Home Secretary : The Director of Public Prosecutions shall be required to take action in such class of cases as have hitherto been conducted by the Solicitor for the Treasury, by order of the Secretary of State, and in other cases for the proper conducting of which, in his opinion, the ordinary mode of prosecution is insufficient. The following rules are to be applied only to such cases :-1. It shall be the duty of the Director of Public Prosecutions to give advice in cases of importance and difficulty to justices of the peace, to clerks of justices of the peace, and to chief officers of police who may apply for his advice in such cases, and to other persons in his discretion, subject to any special instruction which he may receive from the Attorney-General. Advice so given may, at the discretion of the Director of Public Prosecutions, be given verbally or in writing. 2. The Director of Public Prosecu tions may assist prosecutors by authorizing them to incur special costs for the purpose of (a) the preparation of scientific evidence; (b) the remuneration of scientific witnesses; (c) the payment of extra fees to counsel; (d) the preparation of plans or models; (e) and in respect of any special matter in such cases as the Attorney-General may sanction. So much of the costs that are thus authorized by the Director of Public Prosecutions as shall not be allowed on taxation and paid by the authority that defrays the costs of the prosecution, and are found, after examination by the Solicitor of her Majesty's Treasury, to be reasonable and proper, shall be paid by the said solicitor. 3. Upon every application made by a prosecutor to withdraw from a prosecution the clerk to the justices or to the police court before whom the prosecution has been, to which such application is made, shall forthwith give notice to the Director of Public Prosecutions of such application, and of the reasons for making it. If any prosecution instituted before a justice of the peace or a police magistrate be not carried on within reasonable time, or be not proceeded with in consequence of an apparent improper refusal or failure of anyone who ought to proceed therewith, the clerk shall forthwith give notice to the Director of Public Prosecutions of any such delay, refusal or failure, and of the cause of the same if it be known. And in all cases to which this rule applies he shall also, when required, forthwith transmit to the Director of Public Prosecutions, by post, a copy of the information, and of all depositions and other documents relating to the case in which such notice is given. 4. In all cases in which is any delay in proceeding with a prosecution, or in which good cause is shown for any refusal or failure to proceed, and which appear to the Director of Public Prosecutions to be of importance or difficulty, or in which the special circumstances seem to him to render his action necessary to secure the due prosecution of an offender, he shall take action therein. And to all these cases all expenses not allowed on taxation and paid by the authority that defrays the costs of the prosecution, and which are found after examination by the Majesty's Treasury to be reasonable and proper, shall 5. The assistant to be paid by the said solicitor. the Director of Public Prosecutions shall act for the whole of England and Wales. 6. In the conduct of any prosecution, the Director of Public Prosecutions and his assistant shall, as a rule, employ and instruct the Solicitor of Her Majesty's Treasury, but under special circumstances may the director in the conduct of a prosecution, in getting up employ any solicitor or firm of solicitors to act as agents for evidence, preparing instructions for and instructing counsel, as is usually done by a solicitor, and for so doing such agent or agents shall be paid such costs and charges as the Solicitor to her Majesty's Treasury shall, after examination. find to be reasonable and proper. 7. In instructing counsel the Director of Public Prosecutions shall act under the direction of the Attorney-General. 8. The Director of Public Prosecutions, in cases reserved for the opinion of the Court of Crown Cases Reserved, which are brought to his notice, and in which no counsel for the prosecution is instructed, shall, when he thinks fit, or when so directed by the Attorney-General, cause counsel, as named by the Attorney-General, to be instructed, and the expenses of so doing to be defrayed by the Solicitor to her Majesty's Treasury. 9. Every justice of the peace, or coroner, to whom a notice has been given under section 5 of the Prosecution of Offences Act, 1879, shall within three days transmit by post in a registered letter to the Director of Public Prosecutions every document which he is by the said section required to transmit.

AT the sitting of the Bristol County Court, last week, before Mr. W. J. Metcalfe, Q.C., judge, Mr. F. W. Tonkin, solicitor, addressing his Honour, said that, at the request of several professional brethren, he desired to bring before the notice of the court a circuler form of application for debt which was being used by a so-called firm of Johnson & Co., in this city. After commenting upon the way in which certain classes of accountants attempted to terrorise debtors into payment of amounts by threatening proceedings which they (the accountants) well knew they had no power to take, Mr. Tonkin read from the document in question. The application ran as follows:-" Debt Department. Western Counties Trade Protection Offices, Arch House Chambers, John-street, Bristol. Office hours: ten to four o'clock. Saturdays, ten to one o'clock. Bristol office, 17th April, 1880. Sir,-We are instructed by Messrs. G. Dixon & Sons, of this city, to apply to you for payment of £9 148. 2d., owing by you to them, and have to inform you that unless the amount be paid at our offices at once, we shall take legal proceedings for its recovery without further notice. Yours respectfully, JOHNSON & Co., Managers.-Debt, £9 148. 2d.; expenses, 5s.; £9 19s. 2d." Mr. Tonkin called attention to the wording of the phrase "we shall take legal proceedings," and also to the fact that the so-called firm made a claim for 5s. expenses. His Honour: Is this the same Johnson & Co. who were recently brought under my notice in a case where they were alleged to have received money from a debtor as for a creditor who it was denied had instructed them? One of the officials of the court intimated that this was the same fira. His Honour: I recollect the case well. I intimated at the time that I thought the police should be communicated with and directed to ascertain of whom this firm of Johnson & Co. really consisted. In this present case I do not see that I have sufficient evidence upon which I could take steps under the Solicitors Act. Mr. Tonkin: No, your Honour. I apprehended from the first that there was not sufficient evidence here to sustain a conviction under the Solicitors Act. The object of my application is that your Honour will make some observations arent the impropriety of accountants thus wording their circulars, in order that, your Honour's observations being communicated to the so-called Messrs. Johnson & Co., a check may be put upon the informal, if not illegal, practices of a certain class of so-called accountants in this city. His Honour: I certainly highly disapprove of the way in which this application is worded, and I repeat I am of opinion that the recent case to which I have referred is one that should be put for investigation into the hands of the police. Mr. Tonkin: I am obliged to your Honour, and I will see that the expression of your Honour's disapproval is communicated to the parties. Creditors' Claims. CREDITORS UNDER 22 & 23 VICT. CAP. 25.
