& CO., attendanes at the Supreme Court could not be otherwise than serious. In the case of a merchant who is the sole head of his firm, matters are of course far worse. Continued absence from his post may well be impossible for him. As it was put by one of the jury at the time, it is open for such a person to stay away from the Court and submit to the fine which would follow. But apart from the fact that the merchant would be summoned to the Supreme Court to pay this fine, there is the undignified nature of the proceeding, from which the head of a leading local firm might well shrink. And then thers is the case of the principal architects, brokers, etc., to whom absence from their ordinary duties might not only mean loss of time, but also absolute loss of business, involving possibly large sums of 19:20 money. Except for a matter of absolutely the first importance to the Colony it is unfair to call upon such persons to sacrifice 22.20 their lawful business.
