"KING'S WRIT MUST RUN."
(V' TELEGRAPH.TRESS ASSOCIATION.] CimisTcnT/Bcii, Thursday. Recently . complaint was made to Mr. : McCarthy, S.M. ; , that the Court bailiff had been prevented from serving a judgment summons on a man employed in the railway workshops, and had been put off the works by the foreman. Mr. McCarthy referred the matter to the Minister for Justice, with the object of obtaining his decision as to the prevailing impression that Government servants cannot be served while engaged at work. The Minister replied that if such a thing happened it . was a verious affair, because, under all circumstances, -'• a "King's writ must run." The foreman of the works, who denies the allegation, has been informed that he must afford every facility to officers of the law in the execution of their duties.
