A Good Idea.
Aocokdino to our English contemporaries, the practice of litigants conducting their oases in person is one that seems to be daily gaining ground in England. Occasionally a jury will make strange blunders, cays a writer, but, as a rule, what they want is to have the facts brought fairly before them. This a counsel often does not do. He is thinking of the rules of evidence, or he fancies that it would be politic to Buppiess this particular ciroumstance, or in some other way to finesse the evidence. This is what a jury dislike. They can get on so much better with a litigant in person who blurts everything out with a supreme contempt for all established rales, and who, if a thing ie not evidence, will some* how make it so.
