HOLLINGSWORTH & ASSOCIATES DISSOLVED AFTER FIFTY-THREE YEARS


Vice City's oldest family-run law firm ceased operations this week, following the departure of senior partner Arthur P. Hollingsworth III. The firm, founded by Hollingsworth's grandfather in 1971, was acquired by █████████████████████████ in a private transaction.

Hollingsworth, 62, could not be reached for comment. Sources close to the Leonida Bar confirm that a disciplinary complaint filed against Hollingsworth in █████████ was withdrawn last month due to █████████████████. The nature of the complaint was not disclosed.

"Arthur's father was a pillar of this community," said retired Judge ████████████████. "I knew the boy when he first passed the bar. It's a damn shame how these old firms fall apart."

Hollingsworth's current whereabouts are ████████.

"My father believed the law was a cathedral.
He never learned to pick the locks."

— ARCHIVAL TRANSLATION —
Vellum Manuscript · Catalog #MCM-1847-VII · ███████████████████ University


Fragment recovered from ████████████████ monastery, dissolved ████. Original language: ████████████████, dialect extinct since ████████.

The monks who copied this fragment were executed for heresy in ████. The charges did not mention the manuscript. They mentioned unspecified deviations in the liturgy, a phrase that appeared, with identical wording, in the trials of four other monastic houses across two centuries.

Each house had possessed a copy of the fragment. Each copy was destroyed. This translation survived because the cataloging scholar at ███████████████████ University did not read ████████████████ and filed it under Apocryphal Wisdom Literature, where it remained unread for ███ years.

The scholar's name does not appear in university records after ████. His replacement noted, in a handwritten addendum, that the catalog number had been reassigned to a blank folio. The manuscript itself was not listed as missing.

It was simply no longer there.

They burn the books and seal the dockets and insist the Adversary was cast out and defeated and forgotten.

In 1233, Pope Gregory IX issued Vox in Rama, describing a sect in Germany that believed Lucifer had been cast out unjustly. The bull claims they gathered in secret to hear the testimony of a black cat. Historians debate whether these "Luciferians" existed as described, or whether the confessions were extracted under threat of death by Conrad of Marburg.

The congregation did not end.
