THE QUESTION OF APPEALS.
REMARKS BY JUDGE COOPER
[BY TELEGRAPH TRESS ASSOCIATION.]
DirxEDix, Monday. In the course of his judgment to-day, in the case of Leckie v. Conn, an appeal against conviction on a charge of sly grogselling, Mr. Justice Cooper expressed his opinion concerning appeals in general. He said he did not think the proceeding was •satisfactory at all. A magistrate heard the case, and either convicted or dismissed, and there was a general appeal. Either side was then able to see the weak points in the case, and to cover them up. It was not fair to a magistrate, and did not conduce to the satisfactory administration of justice.
