FROM PILLAR TO POST

ARBITRATION COURT AND ITS QUARTERS. The Arbitration Court Ins probably more busmen in the year than any other tribunal in the Dominion, and it« sittings •r« practically continuous in one centre or another throughout the twelve months, y«t, in. the moat important centre of all— WflHngton—it has lib fixed abode whatever, and is driven from pillar to ppst, from one room to another, Magistrate's Court to Supreme Court, and back again, all to suit the convenience of other tribunals or more permanent domicile. In the_ Magistrate's Court during the present , sittings, there has never been "much certainty at to which court-room it woula] take, and its proceeding* were frequently cramped and impeded 1o? sheer lack of . room and convenience. Yesterday, for the hearing of the seamen's dispute, the Court oame back for the first time this session to the- smaller court-room in tho Supreme Court building, where mostly cases were heard in the past before the expansion of other branohe* of the Judicature began to exercise the process of' extrusion. But hopes that the Court might be able there to continue the hearing of the dispute—the most formidable of all —were doomed to disappointment. The presiding Ju3ge, Mr Justice Frazer, ■ had to announce at the end of the day's sitting, that the Court be unabla to carry on to-day as the Mom wa» required forMury oases, and so the dispute' must be adiourned until to-morrow. The most regrettable part about the whole of this Ishmael business it th*/ all the while the work is piling up behind the Court, and every day lost is serious. The Jjst of cases already is calculated to occupy the Court well into October, and the^ ' aro many other disputes waiting a. bearing Apart from this, there is the break in the continuity of hearing highly technical and detailed argument and evidence, and' tho 'seamen's secretary yesUrday emphasised this aspect of the interruptions Last week-end members of the Tarar rua Tramping Club~had an interesting walk round the coast from Te Kamara Bay to Island Bay. A party of about' a 'doien'left Karori on Saturday afternoon, and tramped over the hills via, Makara to Te Kamara homestead, 'where, by permission of Mi., M'Kehne, they stopped1 for the night in one of the whares near the homestead, where they were hospitably entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Burns.
