ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE
Sir, —The- reply of the Hon. Minister, while satisfactory as to the main points, clearly shows that for want of proper regulation on the subject a Crown prosecutor can, though with tho best intention, usurp tho functions of a jury. If without oven consulting the presiding judge, that official is able to procure tho withdrawal of a case from trial because he happens to differ or agree, as the case may be, with a jury in their findings, then there-is no use in empanelling a jury in the first Instance. This case will, I hope, have tho effect of a regulation being made to prevent a recurrence of the present practice which thus stands condemned. —I am, etc., X-RAYS.
