The Postmaster-General has arranged to formally open the new Post Office building at Porirua on Wednesday next, at 3 p.m. An interesting aside took place in the argument in the Kingsland cases, King v. O'Shaughnes3y, Hassell, and Campbell, in the' Court of Appeal to-day. Mr. R. A. Singer, counsed for ihe accused, aeked that in the evant of the letters being held to be inadmissible, the Judges would not order a fourth trial, not only on humanitarian grounds, but because publication of tho letters again and again would , prejudice O'Shaughneesy iv the eyes of another jury. Mr. Justice Edwards mewly smiled. The Ohief Justice (Sir Robert Stout) : "If you look at it from a. humanitarian point of view, it is useless coming to argue it in the Cunrt of Appeal." Mr. (Singer: "There have already been three trials." Hie Honour : " That may bo tho fault of only one juror, who might be dull, stupid, or a rogue. Would not the publication of on© jury's disagreement projudice another jury?"
