ATTACKING THE ROTATION SYSTEM.


Not long ago. among other changes following the
consolidation OF Brooklyn with Manhattan, the
system OF transac;lng police court business was
remodelled, and what is known AS the rotation
system introdu red. partly for economy's sake,
partly TO give the various magistrates more ex
perience But now II Is asserted IN a morning
paper that compla ns are frequent In at least one
court that business is delayed by the system from
two 10 three hours every day TO the great ncon-
venence of business men. who are summoned either
witnesses compliments. and II uses up the
time OF policemen. who would be better employed
In patroing their beats. II Is also stated that
persons charged with plain DRINKS. who would be
only too glad 10 pay their fine and get away, are
compelled TO linKer In the cells from o'clock TIL
That will not appeal to the average citizen. how
ever. as hardship II may act as a deterrent
upon overindulgence In the flowing bowl over night,
and so prove a real blessing to the community
But really. there should be no just cause OF com
plant against the rotation system. The business
hours In every court could be easily arranged. so
that the judges by devoting reasonable time only
TO each court they are required to visit could
transact all the business intrusted them within
reasonable time. and not compel witnesses com
painants or prisoners either. 10 remain for hours
in a hot and stuffy courtroom
The rotation system does not appear to have had
a fair trial as yet, and 1t should not be condemned
until IL has.
