The Public Relations Officer
of the Treasury replied in the " Daily Telegraph "
of 8th May, that " no such orders have been given
or are contemplated."
So far so good, but it
would be interesting to know the source of the
report to the contrary. Have any expressions of
opinion been issued by any Government Depart–
ment to prosecuting counsel or those instructing
them ? The most indirect of such expressions
would, if emanating from an official source, be
improper and indeed illegal."
(Solicitors'Journal,
iyth May, 1947.)
Pretending to be a Solicitor
IN Hall v. Jordan (1947 i All E.R. 826) a solicitor
who had been suspended from practice was found
guilty of wilfully pretending to be qualified to act
as a solicitor during the period of his suspension,
and although this was an aggravating circumstance,
the justices dismissed the information under the
Probation of Offenders' Act, 1907, on payment
of costs on the ground that the matters which
constituted the offence appeared to be isolated
matters. Held by the King's Bench Division that
wilfully pretending to be a solicitor was a serious
offence and one that could not properly be dealt
with under the Probation of Offenders' Act, and
that the case must be remitted to the Justices with
a direction to convict.
