II Is well that Judge Gear has set his
foot down on the habit Of some OF the
members Of the Honolulu bar Of asking
for pOstpOnements ana delays IN cases
when no adequate cause for such can
be given. There can be- 10 doubt that
the actions Of many attorneys IN Ho-
nOlulu would not be tolerated IN most
courts IN the land II rs not exactly
that diBrcspcct H. either intended or
shown, but there Is q free ana easlncH3
which does not match Weil with the
common idea OF the administration OF
Justice. But IT 10 not 10 much on this
point that tine general public has
right 70 complain as 10 II on the sub
Ject Of tho reckless waste Of time IN the
conduct Of cases. This waste Of time
may or may not be regretted by the
clients concerned, but when Jurles are
required the unfortunatcs who are
drawn for jury duty have right 10
consideration. SIN not day passes ln
men Is frittered away by delays which
can have no effect On the case
other than TO cxasDcrate the long sUf-
fering jurors. II would be interesting
10 note the effect n any Jurors who
happen 10 be IN business should treat
the average lawyer with the same
scant confederation. Imagine one Of the
legal Lights going into a store 10 make
some small purchase ana having any
where from fifteen minutes 10 an hour
Of his time wasted before any business
could be done. Surely tho climate
would become torrid IN very short
while. Jury duty II at no times pleas-
ant, but there would be fewer shirkcrs
Of that duty n members Of the bar
would exercise n little ordinary busl-
ness sense.
