THE COURSE OF JUSTICE.
INTERRUPTED BY ACCIDENT. A FORTUNATE RESPONDENT. (By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.") CHRISTCHURCH, thin day. "I agree with counsel for the appellant that this appeal presents a typical instance of the injustice which may result from iiard and fast rules as to procedure, but it is nevertheless true that it is in the interests of justice that its process should be speedy," said Mr. Justice Adams in dismissing an appeal from a decision by Mr. H. Young, S.M., brought by John, Robert Perry (Wellington) against Brabner's, Ltd.
His Honor upheld the objection by counsel for the respondent, that the final papers were not delivered to the clerk of the Magistrate's Court within the proper time. The delay was due to an accident by which appellant's solicitor was for a time rendered incapable of attending to business.
His Honor remarked that respondent appeared to have had a fortunate escape.
