TOO MUCH TALKING
MAGISTRATE CALLS COUNSEL TO ORDER Two or three times during the proceedings of the Magistrate's Court yesterday it was very difficult to be heard owing to the buzz of conversation. Several requests for silence were made without avail, and the Magistrate (Mr E. Page) was forced to call counsel to order from the bench. “Coursel,” “he said, “have developed the habit of all talking at once. 1 wish they would kindly go outside if they wish to converse with each other. It is sufficiently difficult to get through the work of the Court without the additional embarrassment of inaudibility.”
