Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Application of Brooklyn Bar Association in Respect of Harold Taft, an Attorney and Counselor at Law.

Opinion:
The respondent is in error when he states there was no consideration for the guaranty. His frivolous attitude might justify the inference that he signed the guaranty without intending to meet its obligations. This would be conduct which would subject him to discipline. Since he has seen the light and paid the claim, the proceeding is dismissed. Present—Young, Kapper, Hagarty, Tompkins and Davis, JJ.
