PRINTING APPEALS,

STBIOTURES BY A JUDGE.

(Per Press A oao elation.) Wellington, last night.

During the heariog of the ease Lysnar v. Dunlop and wife, in the Appeal Oonrt to-day, the question of printing oame up, and Mr Justice Edwards oomplained in strong terms of the manner in which the case on appeal had been printed, ohar' notarising it as ‘ shameful.” Mr HoskiDg. for appellant, said that the new rule made by the Judges as to printing oases was not generally known to the legal profession. Mr Justioe Edwards said that the rule had been altered at the request of the legal profession, so as to oomply with the rules of the Privy Council with regard to printing. I The Chief Justice said he had no doubt that, after the decision of the last Court of Appeal in one ease in not allowing the costs of printing to tho sucoessfol party who had not oomplied with the new rule, it would soon become kaown to prsoti~ tioners.

The rule referredTo - direots that all oases printed for the Court of Appeal shall in future be printed in quarto instead of in folio eizs. The reason of the making of the new rule was ihat the Privy Connoil rtquired its oases to be printed in quarto, and it often happened that when a oaee had been printed in folio for the Court of Appeal, aud was ttou taken to appral ,to the Privy Counoil, the whole of the case had te be reprinted at a very greatly moreased cost to litigants.
