! In re Wooley II NY 50, It was held
lat to incorporate into a p. --tion for
rehearing the statement that Your
.-onors nave rendered an unjust de-
cree and othe insulting matter, is
! to commit in open court an act con
| shutting contempt On the part Of the
| attorney; and hat where the lam
| guage sDOken or written is of itself
necessarily offensive, the disavowal OF
an intention to commit a contempt
| may tend to excuse but cannot justify
| the act. From a. paragraph in that
| opinion we quote:
/ "An attorney may unfit himself for
| the practice CT his profession by the
manner in which he conducts himself
| in his intercourse with the courts. He
| may be honest and capable. and yet
| he may so conduct himself as to cOntin-
ually interrupt the business of the
| courts in which he practices; or he
| may by systematic and continuous
course of conduct. render it impossi-
BILE for the courts to preserve their
| self-respect and the respect Of the
| public and at the same time permit
him to act as an officer and attorney.
! Al attorney WHO mus SluulOuSlS anu
| Systematically attempts TO bring the
tribunals of justice into public con
tempt is an unfit person to hold the
position and exercise the privileges Of
! an officer Of those tribunals. An open
notorious and pubic insult to the
highest judicial tribunal of the State
! for which an attorney cOntuma ci0VSly
refuses in any way to atone, may JUS
| tify the refusal of that tribunal 10
recognize him in the future as one Of
| its officers

we do not SEE that the relator has
