Applications By Francis Bailey
After listening for almost an hour to a personal application by Francis Albert Bailey for orders of certiorari and mandamus the Acting Chief Justice, Mr Justice T. J. Gould declared this morning that contrary to the practice of the Supreme Court he had heard Bailey without repres sentation by Counsel in order to disabuse Bailey's belief that the hand of every man was against him.
His Lordship remarked that Mr Bailey appeared to have had some form of legal training up to a point but did not appear to have the re- motest idea of the purpose of the certiorari order he was seeking. This bore out the saying "A little learning is a dangerous thing," added the Chief Justice, who refused both applications.
