GREAT SECRETS OF LIFE

Informed at Ipswich Assizes that Hie parties in a civil action had come to terms, Mr Justice McCardio remarked, “The longer I live tlie more I realise that forgiveness, consideration, and kindness are three of tlie great secrets of life.” Before the action had been called lie had allowed an adjournment so that tlie parties might consider tneir position. “I see that (lie action is between relatives,” declared the judge. “It- is very rarely that I suggest that parties should come to an understanding instead of taking tlie verdict of tlie jury, but I feel most strongly in Ibis case that counsel should induce their clients lo effect some settlement. Unless that lie so. T am quite sure Unit infinite misery will he caused lo many people, and it would lie a tragedy if this case were fought. “Clients must remember that once eases are discussed in open court (hey can never be forgotten. They can never wipe out. recollections of a public trial. This is perhaps flu* last chance that these relatives have of procuring a stale of things which may lead lo reasonably happy lives in tlie future. “I feci so strongly on this mailer that T urge counsel and clients to como to soitio arrangement before I lie case is over. Unless that is done, it seems lo me that nothing hut wretchedness and misery can result from (he trial of tins case.”
