PATIENT JUDGE
The law's delays find no great favour with Mr Justice Cui'tewis, of New South Wales. A few days ago, at the Sydney quarter sessions, he broke in on a lengthy cross-exii.nination of a witness: "May I suggest that 1 will retire from the bench in a few years, and I would hate to leave this case part heard?" Later, on the question of what number constitutes "a few,' he told the jury that, from long association with the law, he had discovered that when a man said he had had a few drinks it meant anything from three to 20.
