Braoley, ar., to buve the oraer of the Court disbarring him stricken out, Ubief Justice Cartter, in delivering the opinion of the Cvart, said: Mr. Bradley mades a motion to be restored to the office of An attorney, from which he was removed by the judgnent of this Goart a little Faget dagen the reasons set oat im the paper he has filed.

In doing ihis, it is due to myself to say that, im all the matters com- plained of, believing myself to be the injured party, I acted under sudden impulse and con- Unuons strong excitement, caused by the provo- cation I conscientiously thought I had received: but without the remotest idea of contemning the anthority or dignity of any juaicia! tribunal ce to this Court requires, after the expres. sion of its opinion, that I should renew to them he assurance of my profound regret that any actor word ot mine should have been inter. ity and dignity tt stire to maintain herefore, & motion qually my duty and pl nd support. 1 submi asking that you may consider the tormer judg- Ment as an order of suspension only.” Lf the statements contained in thi appitca- y of retraction or apology for the offence with which Mr. Brad- ley was charged, we thiak they, utierly f4il ta express that intention, If such were truly the character of this pa- per, itis quite possible we might rescind the order formerly made for his removal trom the bar of the court. The otlences for which he was removed cons'sted, it will be remembered, in the use of the following language to one of the Justices of this court, whilst exercising the criminal jurisdicuon belonging to this court. Mr. Bradley.—Has the court adjourned et , Judge Fisber.—No, sir. Mr. Bracley.—Then, before it does adjourn. 1 desire to say, in the presence of this audience, that the statement you have read, is false from beg.wning te end.” Thus fxr the accuracy of this report is not denied. but the petitioner alleges that the con- troversey was continued. as follows: Judge Fisher.—Crier, adjourn the court. ‘The Crier.—By order of the Vourt it is now adjourned. Mr Bradley.—Now I will say it. Judge Fisher.—You can say what you like, Iryou wish to maken speech to the crowd you can do so. Mr. Bradley.—la the fir-t plice 1 say you have no right to «xpel me.
