             In the above entitled cause the Clerk will enter:

     Pursuant to the recommendations of the Professional Conduct Board filed
June 20, 1991, and approval thereof, it is hereby ordered that John G.
Hutton, Esq., be publicly reprimanded for violation of DR 9-102 by misuse
of client trust funds.  A.O. 9, Rule 8E.

     It is further ordered that Attorney Hutton be placed on probation for a
period of ten years from the date of issuance of this order.  The conditions
of probation are that an accountant, at Attorney Hutton's expense, shall
submit to the Professional Conduct Board quarterly audits in the first two
years, semi-annual audits in the third through fifth years, and annual
audits during the last five years of probation.  Failure to timely submit
these reports, attributable to conduct of Attorney Hutton, or discrepancies
in the audited reports which the Board concludes manifest misconduct by
Attorney Hutton will subject Attorney Hutton to suspension.  A.O. 9, Rule
19.


                                  BY THE COURT:



                                  Frederic W. Allen, Chief Justice
