w Today on .t the opening Of the court Judge
the space in front Of the judges seat Being
intended for the clerk and officers of the
court bat it was often intruded upon, and
there e, was wa strong pressure upon it by report
protect the clerk and afford better accOmmO-
dation for the reporters. He had observed in
many important cases mistakes in their re-
designedly, but were caused probably by the
position of the seats preventing them from
hearing, distinctly. If they were to have re-
porters here they ought to have accommoda-
tons and be in position to hear distinctly.
The abstract Of the charge in a recent case
was imperfect in many things. and is hardly
more just than parody made in the interest
court reproved the counsel for the defence
Tor their gratutOuS service. 1t was not that
he reproved, but the habit of counsel of in
vOking God and Jesus Christ to intensity the
declarations of counsel he had reprOved. Re-
porterS were liable to commit errors, eSpeci-
ally professional reporters and a reporter
ought to be either good lawyer or act like a
machine. He thought that the clerk might
spare some OF the room. If the reporters
could not sit here and report correctly he
would not submit to what may be said to be
libel on the proceedings
