Our Laws.
The Wellington Grand Jury through their Foreman (Mr Geo. Fiaher) said to the Judge that the jury desired to emphasise the inconvenience caased both to citizens and the country generally by putting in motion all the machinery of the Supreme Court to try cases of a petty nature, which they thought should come before the minor Courts. In their opinion there was a defect; in the law, and they hoped the Legislature would remedy it. His Honor said there was doubt the distinction as to those cases which might be dealt with in the Magistrate's Gourt was not aatisfao tory. It not only caused great in" convenience, but great expense was incurred in bringing witnesses in from the country. He was satisfied something better might be done than had been done by the Legislature in this matter.
