His Honor was made obsolete, the case of Lee Wing and enforcement of the costs of applications were visited upon the Acting Chief Magistrate, on the ground that "The error of his judgment had been pointed out to him again and again.
Costs were not severe and were given in the case of More - Duddell as the Chief Justice thought if the Magistrates could show that their error had been a bona fide one, it would be hard to visit them with the costs, particularly if they were now to render a prompt obedience to the writ, and make return that they had obeyed it."
As both communications seem to take for granted that the Magisterial decisions were open to appeal, and one of them expresses an opinion that such an appeal would have been more correct, and just, and dignified - it is important to state that the Attorney General was directed by His Excellency in Council to remove, if possible by writ of certiorari, the cases in question to the Supreme Court, but His Excellency was advised that the defendant was excluded from the benefit of such writ.
