JUDGE EDWARDS ON THE JURY SYSTEM.
(per press association.)
Napier, This Day. _ In charging the Grand Jury this morning, Justice Edwards referred at length to the trial by jury system and misconstruction placed in some quarters upon his recent remarks on the subject. In Wellington he had not, he said, advocated the abolition of the system, hut on the contrary believed such stop would render Judges’ position intolerable, and the value of his public services become greatly impaired. No Judge could desire to destroy this part of the admistration of justice which is his own boat protection. In his closing remarks upon the subject, His Honor pointed to tho need for greater care being exercised specially in large centres in compilation of Jury lists.
The calendar includes six charges against five prisoners and includes three of attempted rape.
