¶1On Motion for Rehearing.

LATTIMORE, Justice.

¶2Article 306, Rev. Statutes, says no license shall be issued except by the Supreme Court under the provisions of this title. Article 316, Rev. Statutes, says the judgment on disbarment may “revoke” the license “entirely.” Revoke means to “annul by taking back.” The license was taken back to its source, the Supreme Court. It could therefore by statute be issued only by the Supreme Court.

¶3The motion for rehearing is overruled.

POWER, J., dissenting.
