To be sandwiched between legal argument and an inquest- would not seem an attractive arrangement, but such will probably be the fate of a ease which is to be conducted by Mr U. Edgar and Mr R. A. Outlibert. The case was mentioned, in the Magistrate’s Court this morning, but on account of having to attend to other business the Magistrate (Mr S. E. M’Carthy) was unable to hear it. Next Wednesday was suggested as a convenient date for the hearing. “ Well,” said Mr M’Carthy, ‘•I have to hear legal argument at if) a.ra., and to conduct inquests at 2 and at 3 p.m.” “Perhaps wo could sandwich it between the legal argument and the first inquest.” suggested Mr Cuthbort. The arrangement was tentatively made. Tho incident illustrates the congestion of magisterial work v. Inch is being complained of.
