TIRING WORK
The sittings of .the Magistrate's Court on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, set aside for the hearing o£ bylaw cases, are usually very tiring affairs for the officials concerned. More or less trivial cases sometimes occupy more than an hour of the Magistrates-time, and i£ the day's "list" is a heavy one the Court usually sits until nearly 6 o'clock. Yesterday afternoon there were a number of defended cases, and toward 5 o'clock it became apparent that they could not all be dealt with. The Magistrate, Mr. J. G. t. Hewitt, intimated. to counsel' that "he had had a tiring day, and felt disposed to adjourn the Court. "It is not a wise thing," he said, "to go on with a case when you begin to get tired, but I will do so i£ you wish to proceed." Counsel agreed; that an adjournment would be advisable, and after the evidence of two witnesses had been taken the Court was adjourned.
