In re BROOKLYN BAR ASS’N. In the matter of the petition of the Brooklyn Bar Association to punish Louis R. Phelan, an attorney.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department.
March 20, 1903.)

We think the papers in this matter present a case of ignorance, rather than of willful misconduct, on the part of the attorney, and that the facts do not warrant any further punishment than he has already received by reason of the publicity which has been given to his conduct. Application denied.
