Magistrates' Courts Problem

In Wednesday the
Hon. M. W. Lo drew attention to a problem of some magnitude, calling for serious consideration by the Authori ties. Mr Lo referred to "tendencies which, if unchecked, must affect the fair name of British justice." The tendencies, as the speaker sees them,

to overburden our magisterial courts with trivial cases to such an extent that justice is in danger of becoming a travesty. A cited illustra- tion was that of 60 summonses
in which all defendants pleaded guilty and all were fined the same amount without any one of them being given a chance to plead mitigating circum- stances. Manifestly this is not the way in which British courts are expected to function; yet unless our magistrates are to sit 16 hours a day, six days a week, they cannot dispense justice as One laid down by the British code. obvious (suggestion is to increase the number of magistrates, which in turn calls for additional courts. It would be the correct solution to the problem, but it is a solution which cannot be. applied immediately for a variety of reasons: Whorefore cognisance must be taken of one ameliorating proposal ad- vanced by Mr Lo: that traffic police be empowered to put "atickers" on cars where the drivers have been guilty of a trivial offence, the "sticker" to stato the amount of the fins due, where it can be paid, and by what date. Failure to comply, naturally, would result in a summans being issued carrying a heavier penalty if the offence was: shown to be, inexcusable. This system “would help to keep the courts clear of drivers guilty of committing, trivial traflio of forces and would still permit anybody who felt they word protected by mitigating circumstances to make
their plea to a magistrate. If Govern- ment accepts the idea in principle, there appears to be a natural opportu- nity for the Traffic Department and the Automobile Association to hold consultations and to work out a schedule of offences which can strictly be regarded as trivial or technical. Traffic offenders, of course, are not the only people cluttering up the courts and making it more and more difficult. for magistrates to deal with defen- dants within the strict code of British justice. There, are the hawkers who, frequently appear 100 at a time and must be dealt with en bloc; there are the increasing number of juvenile offenders which tax not only the time of the courts, but raise serious doubts as to whether fines, the cane, and other forms of punishment help in any way to deter them from their unsocial mode of living; more especially as so many of them are used as catapaws by unscrupulous' parents and so-called guardians. They represent a special problem, though it is still part of the problem confronting our magistrates as to how they can deal adequately with all the cases they are expected to handle every day. The situation de- manda a long-term policy, that will enable the Colony to possess more courts and more magistrates to ad- minister them. In the meantime expedient action is required and Government should make it a duty to explore methods by which our magis- trates can be rolleved of dealing with trivial and technical offences, thus allowing them to give full time to the heavy tack of judging serious crimò 'afid -misdemeanours which, unhapplly, afe all too provalent, Possibly extension of the JP's courts would make a vál able contribution.
