LATE LOCALS.
It is a common practice in Supreme Court proceedings for counsel to crossex.amine witnesess on the records ot evidence they gave in the Lower Court and to search for small inconsistencies between thes e records and their evidence in the Supreme Court. This general practice was discredited in tile Supreme Court at Auckland on Friday by Mr Justice Herdman, who said lie did not attach much importance to differences between what a witness said oit trial and what he was reported to have said earlier. His Honor quoted a Chief Justice of England as saying that too much importance ought never to be attached to such discrepancies. Substantial agreement ought to be sufficient.
