Delay should recur in the trial be the gravity of the charge against them, that no delay is justifiable but that which is demanded for the elucidation of truth and the due administration of justice. In this Colony delay, more especially, is to be deprecated, as the evidence is very imperfect, and lapse of time frequently leads to loss of testimony.
Having thus stated his views, His Excellency does not feel authorized to pronounce a condemnatory judgment as to the accused in which His Honor may not fit to order delay of proceedings, feeling that according such delay must be a question for the Judge.
As regards the regular and certain sittings of the Supreme Court, full regularity and certainty are desirable so far as they contribute to the speedy administration of justice. His Excellency must attribute part interruption to the well-known state of the health of the Chief Justice, and to the same cause the frequent sittings in His Honor's private Chamber may have caused inconvenience to some of those who have to attend.
His Excellency finds, however, from the correspondence, that the Chief Justice is willing to accommodate professional gentlemen and suitors in their reasonable requirements, and feels assured that both the keeping of Terms and the holding sittings in Chambers at the usual times will be maintained.
