Majority

p. 707

In the Matter of Edward Friedland (also Known as Edward S. Friedland) , an Attorney, Respondent. Association of the Bar of the City of New York, Petitioner.

First Department,

March 7, 1947.

Einar Chrystie for petitioner.

John R. Davies for respondent.

An official referee has reported that the charges of misconduct set forth in the petition have been established by the petitioner. He pointed out, however, that there were mitigating circumstances. Although the evidence fully sustains the charges, we agree with the official referee that there were mitigating circumstances which warrant the conclusion that a censure is sufficient punishment.

The respondent should be censured.

Martin, P. J., G-lennon, Dore, Cohn and Van Yoorhis, JJ., concur.

Respondent censured.
