IN THE MATTER OF NATHANIEL COTHREN, an Attorney, etc.

Headnote

Attorney and client—Punishment of attorney.

—The respondent positively denies all intention to make any improper or adverse use of the memorandum. It is clear that he has made no such use of it. Until he shall do so, or at least attempt to do so, the application to punish him is premature. It should be dismissed for the present, and without costs.
