BILE for the courts to preserve their

public and at the same time permit
him to act as an officer and attorney.
An attorney who thus studiously and
Systematically attempts to bring the

B, 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
I highest judicial tribunal of the State

refuses in any way to atone, may JUS
1 tify the refusal of that tribunal to
recognize him in the future as one of
I its officers
