CONFUSION AT COURT.
QUESTION OF ENTRANCES.
The position of the public entrance to the room whero civil business is dealt with in the Magistrate's Court has frequently confused litigants and witnesses who have business in tho Court. Tho entrance, which is seldom used, is situated at the northwest corner of the building, and is gained by walking along a side passage to the Court grounds. Persons using the Court generally writer the building by tho front door faciiifj Waterloo Quadrant, and access to the " Upstairs Court" is gained by a staircaso and a door marked "private." It is tho desire of the Court officials that more general uso should be made of tho public entrance. Owing to the position of the public entrance referred to, and the ignorance of litigants as to the arrangement of the rooms, cases have not infrequently been marked " Struck out; no appearance of parties," when the parties have been actually on the premises.
