TAKING NOTES IN COURT
((Special) DUNEDIN, August 12. During the hearing of a case in the Magistrate’s Court in which a woman was charged with being a member of a subversive organization, Sergeant M. Conway, who conducted the case for the prosecution, drew attention to the fact that a man at the back of the Court was taking notes.
“What objection can the police have to a man taking notes?” asked counsel for the accused. Mr C. J. L. White. “He is quite entitled to do so if he wants to.” Sergeant Conway pointed out that according to Press reports a Magistrate in Christchurch some time ago laid it down that only authorized persons were permitted to take notes of Court proceedings. Mr White interrupted to say the Christchurch Magistrate quickly changed his opinion on the subject. In reply to Sergeant Conway the Magistrate, Mr H. W. Bundle, said that as ling as they were not creating a disturbance persons in Court could take notes of any case in which they were interested.
