HC Deb 21 July 1913 vol 55 cc1699-700
60. Mr. JOHN WARD

asked the Attorney-General whether his attention has been called to the case of Brown and O'Toole v. Bell, tried by Judge Rueeg, K.C., at the Newcastle-under-Lyme County Court, on 15th July, when serious charges were made and proved against the defendant, a solicitor, as to unprofessional conduct in the management of a small estate which had been placed in his hands; whether he has made himself acquainted with the evidence and findings of the judge; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Sir Rufus Isaacs)

My attention has been called to the case referred to, and I am causing further inquiries to be made into the matter.
