Wilson, Chief Justice:

¶1The granting of this motion could not benefit the attorney. It could not affect his rights or privileges. If he has incurred any liability by practising as an attorney, and receiving fees, before his name was enrolled, or if he seeks to recover for services performed as an attorney before his name was entered on the Roll, this Court cannot aid him by permitting the clerk to make the entry nunc pro tunc.

¶2The motion must be denied.

¶3Motion denied.
