The Blackmore Case
TO THE EDITOB OV THE STAB,
Sib, — Is it right that a Councillor should sit and hear the deliberations of the Council, and then be a witness against the Council? I refer to a Councillor being a witness in favor of Mr Blackmore. If such an one wishes to sympathise with the plaintiff he is at liberty to do so, but I think should not be allowed to sit as a Councillor. — I am, &c,
Elector. [Although a CounciUor in his private capacity is a witness in a civil case, this should not deprive the ratepayers of his services as a Councillor.—Ed. F.S.]
