COUNSEL LATE.
REPRIMAND BY JUDGE. "Counsel should understand that he should be here at the proper time," said Mr. Justice Herdman at the Supreme Court to-day, when the hearing pf a case was delayed because the plaintiff was not represented. About ten minutes after a telephone call had been made by an official of the court, the barrister appeared,_and said he had been instructed only five.minutes previously by other counsel. "This is not only discourteous to the court, but it interferes with the busies" said his Honor. "I hope you will intimate to whoever instructed you that that sort of thing must not occur again."
