LAW VACATIONS
REFORM IN NEW SOUTH WALES
(From "The Post's" Representative.) SYDNEY, sth February. The proposal of tho State Government to abolish tho long law vacations and keep the Supremo Court of New South Wales open right through the year, except for statutory public holidays, and to compel Judges to take their holidays in rotation, like other mere mortals, has been generally commended. Tho Judges themselves do not approve of it, tout, after all, they are the servants, not the masters, of the public.
The fact that upwards of 300 cases of various kinds have been left over from the December sittings until March is a good illustration of the position. The law is hedged round with till sorts of quaint old British customs, to the inconvenience of the litigious public. Abolition of the long vacations is a tardy but much-needed reform.
