A Scene in Court.
During Mr Jellicoe'a opening ad" dress in the Mills libel case a scene occurred. Sir Robert Stout rose to object to the unfair manner in which Mr Jelliooe was stating his case, and Mr Jelliooe continued speaking and interrupting. His Honour promptly rebuked Mr Jelliooe. If he could not oontrol the Court, he declared that he would adjourn the trial. He gave Mr Jellicoe fair warning that there were to be no unseemly disputes, and he had no right to inter* rupt Sir Robert Stout while he was addressing the Court. Mr Jollicoe interjected that it was very inconvenient. His Honour— Mr Jellicoe, again you interrupt. I cannot hear two men speaking at the same time, and I must have order. I do not want the court turned into a beargarden. I do not understand your opening of the case, if it is supposed that you are opening what you are going to prove and not to address the jury on the whole case. Mr Jellicoe thereupon, with a few words, concluded his address.
