Upon reading the evidence. the opinion says the
Court Is strongly impressed with the idea that
the referee very lenent toward the re-
spondent. in deciding that certain charges were
not established by sufficient proof. The only
charge that the referee says is fully established
was that in October. 1898 Goldberg as attorney
for the plaintiff in two actions procured writs of
replevin to be issued against Louis Abrams de-
1endant, and took or had taken from Abrams
place OF business a large quantity of goods not
described in the writs; also that he refused to
allow Abrams 10 take inventory of the goods
and caused them to be delivered at once 70 the
plaintiffs in the replevin actions. The Court saws
that II Goldberg were guilty OF the act specified it
amounted to but little less than larceny
The Court decides that, in view of the respond-
ents previous record, the extreme penalty must be
lnnicted. He was suspended from practice for two
years by the General Term upon charges pre-
