“IMPERTINENCE!”
JUDGE AND COUNSEL Lively words were exchanged between Mr. Justice Herdman and Mr. R. A. Singer, representing an accused woman on trial, during the course of his Honour’s summing up, in the Supreme Court yesterday. The trouble arose through counsel’s frequent interruptions of the judge. At first the judge told counsel he would have to keep quiet and that it was not customary to interrupt judges. When a further complaint was made by Mr. Singer, the jud* remarked: “If you have, any observations to make you can do so afterward. It is an unheard of thing and a piece of impertinence to interrupt a judge,’’ added his Honour warmly.
