A start was made with another case today, and this was expected to take the full day. In. several of the cases dealt with last week the evidence was lengthy, and in some instances the crossexamination of witnesses also occupied considerable time. It may be possible to make greater progress this week, but the disposal of several of the remaining nine cases may also take a good deal of time. There are also a large number of civil and divorce cases for hearing.
