Syllabus

<p>COURTS — DISBARMENT.</p> <p>1. Court of Appeals has Inherent Power Only In Disbarment Proceedings and is without Power to Prevent Practice in Other Courts.</p> <p>No jurisdiction in disbarment proceedings has been conferred by the constitution upon the courts of appeals, and the attempt of the general assembly to confer such jurisdiction in Sec. 1707 G. C., being without authority and ineffectual, these courts must rely in such matters upon the inherent power which it Is their right to exercise without the aid of formal law; but a penalty of disbarment or suspension from practice must be limited in its application to the court in which it is pronounced.</p> <p>2. Attorney Permitting . Use of Office as Clearing House for Strike Grafting Settlement Suspended.</p> <p>An attorney at law who, with knowledge, permits a client to use his law office as a clearing house for a grafting settlement of a workingman’s strike is guilty of misconduct which warrants a penalty of suspension from practice for one year.</p> <p>[Syllabus approved by the court.]</p>
