WILLIAMS DISBARRED, ; judgiTbexet hands down his : decision in the ? 4" ! The Case Reviewed at Length--Full Text of the Decision. < Below we publish Judge Beliefs order , in the celebrated case of the proceedings 4T to disbar G. \V. M. Williams. The case j is familiar to our readers, so we need not again recite. In fact, the order fully reviews the case. Here is the order: <001- of "south Carolina?County of Bam berg?In Court of Common Pleas?In the Matter of Gilbert \V. M. Williams ?Proceedings to Disbar. The Bar Association of Bamberg County, on 2S November, 1S9S, tiled a petition in the Circuit Court praying that the Court would order and direct a rule to issue, directed to Gilbert W. M. Williams, Attorney at Law, requiring him to show cause, if any he could, at the next approaching term of the Court of Common Pleas for Bamberg county, why he should not be disbarred and removed as an Attorney at Law in this State, deprived of all the rights and privileges accorded by law to such Attorney, and have his name stricken from the roll of Attorneys at . Law in South Carolina. The averments of the petition set forth, amongst other things, that some of the most prominent and trustworthy citizens h.nl brought to I I OI U1C low n v/i 0 the attention of the Bar Association that the said Gilbert \V. M. Williams was guilty of conduct and practice which showed him to be unfit to exercise the privileges accorded by law to Attorneys . at Law, and that therefore, before action was taken, the said Bar Association or? dered that the alleged facts and charges should be investigated. That in the course of this investigaj tion it was ascertained that the said , Gilbert W. M. Williams had been, on or s about the 14th day of February, 1S9S, ? convicted in the County Court of Screven 1 county, in the State of Georgia, of the v offence of cheating'and swindling?under a Georgia statute somewhat similar to our South Carolina statute against obtaining money by false pretenses and e Tha* under this conviction he had been sentenced to pay a fine of one hundred r [and fifty dollars or to serve a term of twelve months on the chain-gang;? % That the case was thereupon taken up ? by certiorari to the Superior Court of the ' Middle District of Georgia, for said County of Screven, and after a full hearing, upon the record of proceedings in the ' said County Court, the said writ of certiorari was dismissed;?' That from this judgment of the Supe^ rior Court the said Gilbert W. M. r Williams appealed to the Supreme Court ^ of the State of Georgia, which Court, on the 12th day of October, 1S9S, rendered j its judgment, dismissing the appeal and _ affirming the judgment of the Court below, all the justices of the said Supreme j Court concurring in said judgment:? ? Viarl ine saiu vjuoer". w. m. ' thus been adjudged guilty of the offence of cheating and swindling by the Court of highest and last resort in the State of ^ Georgia, and had been subjected to the ^ alternative sentence of a fine of one hun{ _ dred and fifty dollars or twelve months 4. on the chain-gang. This petition was signed by L. C Inglis, president; A. Mclver Bostick, vice-oresident; H. F. Rice, secretajj uc, uuc service ot papers. af- The matter came 011 for a hearing b * * - ? :i ifino nf tl On fore me at tne .-\pm atiu., -- _ at Circuit Court for Bamberg county. T1 OH- petitioners were represented by Ho ,vas Jas. F. Izlar, L- C. Inglis, Esq., Jno. ith Bellinger, Esq., and A. Mclver Bostic iat- Esq. The respondent was represented ing Hon. W. F. Gary, and R. C. Hardwic Hhlt Esq. he The petition was read. The petition* >11 ie submitted, in proof and substantiation for the grave charges they had made, pr< :ore erly authenticated exemplifications the records of the Courts in Georgia ing- the case of The State vs. Gilbert W. )ear Williams : namely, of the County Co' reat of Screven county; the Superior Court ger, the Middle District of Georgia ; and 1 OUT Supreme Court. the The respondent, Gilbert \V. M. Williai ) be made his return to the rule to sli and cause, setting forth his position in n -Our paragraphs, which, however, raised o ger, two issues?namely : first, the juris( 1. i um or ilic Cvun , and sceond, tlie Ul fV? rue tion of his guilt or innocence of the igil- fence of which he had Ixeen convict 11 ore It was not disputed, but it was adinitt ents tiiat ]le ]iaii been tried, [convicted,' ; ?e 51 sentenced, as is alleged in the petiti a?y and as was demonstrated by the exem fications of the records of the Courts I) ioil Georgia. dec!, The plea to the jurisdiction was mai 3 111 based on the proposition that the po h'S to disbar presupposes the power to ad to the Bar, and that because at the p e\eh ent time admission to the Bar in Sc lias t!arohna js by the Supreme Court, 11 Circuit Court has not the power or thority to expel from the Bar. I saw no merit in the plea, and m ^ tained the jurisdiction of the Court. ' j Circuit Court is the most ancient rived venera^e Courts. It is a Court ight. original and of general jurisdiction, e af- common law its power lo disbar or susj team members of the Par has never b.en q 1 the tioned. That power is independent of ^ *he iutes. 11 is inherent in the Court. Cali- was arSuec* ^or ^e respondent that the cause the power to admit to the Bar sople j,een conferred upe* Supreme Ck ;ores , ,. , 1 and *"or ft w ,e(i ">ere and also, h?-' * disbar ot}' ta1- hold As p the j ' ?ces cited in.^ : i mbed " j convfc. Kited ! to the . I ifi-> I I mm mm* ed b.V the Suprehie Court, t cannot hold hit therefore and thereby this venerable ind honorable Circuit Court has lost con- . .rol of the memliers of its Bar and cannot < purge its roll of Attorneys of names ivhicli bring disgrace upon it. I'pon the question of the guilt or innocence of the offence of cheating and swindling, I allowed the respondent the utmost latitude in the matter of adducing evidence. I did this against the earnest objection of counsel for the petitioners. It was argued for the'petitioners that the exemplifications of the records of the Georgia Courts was conclusive of the matter, and that the Court should not listen to any evidence aliunde. I re fused to take so strict a view. While willing to give full faith and credit to the judgment of the Georgia Court, as under the Constitution and the Act of Congress it was my bounden duty to do, I still felt that sitting as a Court of conscience to hear and determine whether or #no a brother of the Bar should be expelled from an honorable profession, I should not allow the verdict of a jury of six men, sitting in a County Court of Georgia, to be conclusive of a matter so grave and serious, if by any chance competent and sufficient rebutting evidence could be adduced. But the door was opened in vain. Nothing was offered save the oral testimony of the respondent himself, and a J solitary certificate of good character furnished him some years ago by the Clerk of the Court of Barnwell county?furnished seveftl years before the conviction .n<1Ilan( ?c tpctimnnv in c>eorgia- 111c itsjjunuvm - ?J7 taken l>efore me, was simply a repetition of the testimony he gave in the County Court of Screven. I hacUioped for more, and I should have listened to it with gladness. But I am forced to say, in the language of Mr. Justice Richardson, speaking for the Court in State vs. Holding, M. C., 3S1 : "No evidence of former good character "nor testimonial of reputed integrity has "been Jai 1 before the Court, in order to "weaken the unavoidable inference arising from the conviction of a crime, in "itself infamous, and we are left to sus"pect that facts would not have warranted an attempt to draw from that "source any extenuation of the charges "propounded." What remains but to grant the prayer of the petitioners? The dignity of the Court, the honor and integrity of the Bar demand it. The facts are plain ; the conclusion is inevitable. The rule is therefore made absolute; and it is ordered, judged, and decreed : That the respondent, the said Gilbert W. M. Williams, sometime Attorney at Law, be stricken from the roll of Attorneys eniitled to practice in the Circuit Courts and Probate Courts of ?his State of h'outh Carolina, and that he be, and hereby is, forbidden forever hereafter to practice as an Attorney or Member of the Bar in said Courts. ?
