Sir Michael Myers, P.C., took the opportunity of remarking upon the importance which attached in his opinion to any suggestion that the principles of natural justice had not been observed.

"Whatever the amount is, small or large," said his Honour, "to my mind there is nothing more important than the proper administration of our law; and when in a case the suggestion is made Yhat the principles of natural justice have not been observed it is a most important one, whatever the amount involved. One of the first . principles upon which the administration of our law is based is that no person in civil or criminal proceedings should he condemned unheafd."
