THE CHILD MIND.
ITS HABITS OF OBSERVATION. A glance into the child miud lent interest to a passage in Mr. Justice Chapman's summing-up in .the Tier case yesterday. ' ■'■"■ -■■■■•"!■ His Honour ''was commenting upon, a peculiar value which is held to attach to a certain class, of evidence when given by children. He said:—"lt is a very common thing to have small boys and girls brought into Court'.to identify people they have seen in the street, and I think detectives and others who havo to do with the Courts would tell you that boys and girls, as a class, aro very observant—perhaps girls more especially, but boys as well. They see things ,that older people do not notice, and they attach, importance to things which older people do not. They aro therefore much relied on for purposes of identification."
