The country press are showering
abuse on our criminal courts slow
ness of our criminal trials and the
frmness Of our judges.-N. O. Critic.
Possibly a country Jake has no
right to pass comment upon that
which does not directly concernhim,
but it appears to us that the rules Of
court of the city criminal courts
should be amended. Such a thing
as a case hanging up before court
two or three weeks on exceptions
would be an impossibility. When a
case is called the lawyer must be
ready and his exceptions are tried
and disposed of as fast as they come
up. Then it does not take a week
to draw a Jury here either. The
fact is the city courts are built on
an Anticipated plan that makes such
a thing as a hnstle an impossibihty.
When a man begins a lawsuit if he
