A high opinion of the laws of England is held by Mr Justice Herdman, who paid a striking tribute to them in the course of a summing up to a jury at Auckland. “The common law of England is, perhaps, the best part of the law of our country,” he said. “Anything that we have added on to the law of England is not of much value.” No definite date has yet been fixed for the opening of freezing works in Canterbury for the new season’s killing (states the Christchurch Times), but it is expected that by the second week in December all the works will be in operation. Labour will be provided for approxim’ately 1700 men when the season begins. All these men are available.
