5.--The Lord Chief Justice, with whom was Mr. Justice Lawrence, sitting
as a divisional court, delivered judgment in an application "in _re_ a
solicitor, _ex parte_ the Incorporated Law Society." In this case the
Statutory Committee of the society on July 10th, 1896, made a long and
elaborate report, in which they stated that a certain number of
allegations of professional misconduct had been proved to their
satisfaction. The Lord Chief Justice dealt at considerable length with
various points in the case, and concluded by saying: "The court would be
failing in its duty if it did not in the most emphatic way mark its sense
of the scandalous story disclosed in this report." The order of the
court was "that Isaac Bugg Coaks, of Bank Plain, Norwich, be struck off
the rolls, and that he do pay the costs of the inquiry before the
Statutory Committee and the costs of this application."
26.--Mr. Fred Morgan, lessee of Norwich Theatre, was presented with a
massive silver Monteith punch bowl and a purse of gold by members of the
theatrical profession and personal friends.
