MR. BARBER'S CASE.
Lord CAMPBELL said the Court had deferred giving
their opinion upon Mr. Roebuck's application in Ibis,
case, made last term, till they had had an opportunitYer
seeing the additional affidavits, and considering the jedg:
ment formerly pronounced by the Court in discharging
a rule which had been granted, requiring the Law Se'
ciety to show cause why Mr. Barber should not be le:
admitted to practice as an attorney; and having donel
very deliberately, without reference to any technical dif-
ficulties that might stand in the way of a favourable re"
suit, the Court felt deeply concerned to be obliged to
declare that they saw no sufficient reason for altering
the former judgibiiit. He -might mention the°
although he had not the honour to be a meal.
ber of the Court when that judgment was given'
still he had carefully perused the whole of it, and
was bound to say that he entirely concurred in the con'
elusions which his Learned Brother had come to. I,lle'
Barber no doubt had not been directly concerned in tee
frauds which led to his apprehension and subsequent
conviction, but he must have been wilfully blind to toe
proceedings of his client Fletcher, and thus he was the
means of enabling that wicked msn in four successive
cases to avail himself of forged wills. He might not, be
repeated, have been a direct party to those frauds, but
the neglect on his pert to inquire into Fletcher's eondues
was a sufficient reason why he should not be permitted
to practice again. If an attorney, suspecting, as Jar.
Barber must have done in this instance, that hisclient wee
having recourse to fraud to accomplish his purposes, and.
that attorney continued to act for him as if he were
assisting the ends of justice, without instituting any in'
quirt' into the matter, he was still guilty of gross mill"
conduct, notwithstanding that he had not been directly
concerned in the fraud himself. On that account, the
Court were of opinion that the principle upon which the
foe user judgment proceeded ought not to be disturbed,
the more so as the Court found nothing in the new affi'
davits which ought to induce them to alter or revisor
that decision. True, Fletcher's exculpation of Mr. Bar,-
ber was rendered mote distinct; bat, from long experi-
ence in such conftssiens, the Court had learned that
little weight was to be attached to the statement
of a man in his position, while the confession
itself left untouched the fact that a suspicion
must have entered Mr. Barber's mind of the
iivrauduleut character of his client's proceedings. De
might not have contributed to the forgeries nor have
been a party to them, but the admission in the affidavit
that Mr. Barter ae uld have found it exceedingly inconve-
eient to have lost Fletcher's business tended only to show
that he wilfully abstained from making those inquiries
which a revectable attorney ought to have done under
the circumstarces. Adhering, therefore, to the principle'
of the former d. cision, and finding nothing in the new
,iffidavits to induce or warrant a different conclusion, the
Court were bound to refuse the rule moved for by Mr.
Roebuck, and they wished it to be distinctly understood
that this Pas their final decision in this painful case.
Mr. Barber's own careless misconduct had brought upon
himself the privation which he had undergone, and upon: -
a review of all the circumstances of the case, the Court
were of opinion that the due administration of justice
required that he should not be allowed to practice as an
attorney again.—Rule refused accordingly.
