In this case the Committee on Professional Ethics and Grievances of the Louisiana State Bar Association instituted proceedings to disbar the defendant, Mary H. Connolly^ under Section 9 of Rule XVIII of the Supreme Court, as they did in the Leche case, La.Sup., 9 So.2d 566 ,

For the reasons assigned in my dissenting opinion in the Leche case, I therefore respectfully dissent from the majority opinion in this case.
