A LAW-ABIDING PEOPLE.
MR JUSTICE HERDMAN'S COMMENTS. (PIIESS ASSOOIATT'W TEtEGRAM.) AUCKLAND, November 7. Addressing the grand jury at the opening of tho Supreme Court sessions to-day, his Honour Mr Justice Herdman said that the calendar was unusually light for Auckland. There were 18 cases, but none was of more than usual gravity. Speaking generally, it might be said that the people of New Zealand were law-abiding, and respeetod the law. No doubt such a satisfactory state of afairs would continue to exist, so long as the laws of the Dominion were teasonable and complied with common sense. It was only when the laws were unreasonable that they were flouted. Fortunatoly in New Zealand such laws did not obtain.
