traditions which a more forward ard

the Good certainly had her young wo-

pity to see so many of the excellent
precepts and habits which used to be
an integral part of the best develop

class falling into disuse. 1t is rather
the fashion to say nowadays that the
strict conventionality of the Victorian

WANTS BACK
Pleads Earnestly With
Supreme Court
Justices.

There was a conference of the JUS
tees of the Supreme Court yesterday
afternoon, in the Office of Chief Justice
Frear, over a petition just received
from Geo. a. Davis, asking for his re-
instatement TO the bar.
Mr.. Davis begins with relating that
he is a Bachelor of Laws, a graduate
of the law department of Boston Uni
versity, member of the bar of the
Supreme Court OF the United States,
of the Ctpcuit Court of the Ninth Judi
cial Circuit, and of the Circuit Court of
Appeals of the same Circuit
He was disbarred August 10, 1908, by
a majority of the Territorial Supreme
Court, a petition for rehearing of the
case being later denied by the same
majority-"Justice Galbraith again
strongly dissenting" His suspension
recently by the United States District
Court for Hawaii is also mentioned.
Since August 10, 1908, the petitioner
has suffered great pain of body and
mind his clientage has been taken
from him, he has lost large sums of
money was compelled to surrender
his Office to another firm of bright
young lawyers had his name tele-
graphed by the Associated Press SO
that his alma mater. and the dean and
professor thereof We're notified of his
humiliation and disgrace. also the
courts and justices thereof who had
admitted him to practice thereby
being greatly injured in his credit, cir
cumstances and character
Mr.. Davis says that he did not draw
up the agreement for which he was
suspended in the Federal court. It
was drawn up, he sets forth, three
weeks and five days after the institu-
ton of the suit about which the agree
ment was drawn. THE associate
counsel are now engaged in the active
practice of their profession" the petit
toner complains. but this petitioner
is still under disbarment and is COM
PEELED to earn his living, support his
wife and child, from his small earnings,
which he does cheerfully, but it is
wholly insufficient to meet his expenses
and Obligations
Members of the Bar Association with
but two or three exceptions, he goes on
to say, have expressed an earnest de-
sire that this petitioner be readmitted,
and so have the Circuit Judges of this
Judicial Circuit. He proceeds to cite
bank cashiers and attorneys at the
courts investigation. Continuing, Mr..
Davis says he has been in these Is
lands nine years and has made mis-
takes, but refused to join in charges
against his brother attorneys when in
vited to do so by Attorney General
Andrews now in Washington, and no
client of this petitioner filed charges
a paiOSt vo1lT. DafitiOner''
Mentioning his former position OF
First Circuit Judge, and his later one
of District Magistrate when the char
ges against him were made, he says
he has been punished severely for any
errors of Judgment and prays that he
may be called, readmitted and sworn
as an attorney and counsellor of this
court and duly licensed to practice his
profession in this Territory"
After the conference of Justices, the
petition was taken in charge by Justice
Galbraith.
