JUDGE AND COUNSEL.
INTERRUPTIONS REBUKED
SHARP PASSAGE IN COURT.
Frequent interruptions by Mr. Singer during- a criminal trial in the Supreme Court yesterday drew a sharp rebuke when he intervened during Mr. Justice Herdman's address to the jury.
/ " Will you be good enough not to interrupt, Mr. Singer," said His Honor. " You have had an opportunity to address the jury, and there vour duty ends. It is not the practice for counsel to interrupt
Judges." When His.Honor concluded. Mr. Singer rose to ask him to put to the jury a point which he considered the Judge bail inadvertently omitted. His Honor took a different, view, and after a brief exchange asked Mr. Singer to be good enough to resume his seat. " Will Your Honor decline to put that point pleaded Mr. Singer. "It is quite unnecessary," said His Honor! and there the matter ended.
