Head Matter:
In re MULLIGAN.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department.
November 8, 1912.)
Proceedings on charges of professional misconduct against William G. Mulligan, an attorney. Respondent censured. Einar Chrystie, of New York City, for petitioner. William G. Mulligan, of New York City, pro se.

Opinion:
PER CÜRIAM.
The petitioner charges the respondent with professional misconduct in entering three judgments in favor of himself and his wife in an action of ejectment, which judgments were improper, and contained provisions not justified, which the court subsequently vacated and annulled. The respondent attempts to justify or excuse these judgments, but without success. Upon his own statements they were improper, and the court at Special Term quite properly struck out the improper provisions. For the practice thus adopted by respondent, he is hereby censured.
