Tax Solicitors' Journal says " The hope expressed by Mr. Shaw-Lefevre in the House of COMMONS that the courta in the new building of the Royal Courts of Justice would be formally opened about Midsummer next must appear to anyone who has recently inspected the interior of the building to be somewhat sanguine. It is true that the central hall is in a fair way towanLs completion, the Bennett flooring being now idled in. It will, however, take some time to complete the ornamental carving, and to lay down the pavement. The courts are roofed in, and in most of them the ceiling is complete, but the fittings am not more advanced than they were three months ago. The general impression seems to be that the long vacation is likely to arrive before the courts are ready for occupation. We believe that a somewhat Imposing opening °areaway is contemplated."
