In 1912 charges. of unprofessional conduct were preferred against David J. Ryan, a member of the Bar of this state. He was tried and acquitted (In re Ryan, 46 Mont. 289, 127 Pac. 904), and thereafter commenced this action to recover damages against the persons whom he held responsible, charging them with malicious prosecution in instituting and carrying on the disbarment proceedings. The trial court granted a nonsuit, and from the judgment entered thereon and from an order denying him a new trial, plaintiff appealed.
