to explain that 'delay' is one grievance, 'deadlock' 1.e. post-

-ponement of cases already fixed, is another and a different

one. It is true that both would be cured by the appointment of

an additional Judge; but in order to remove the impressien on

Your Excellency's mind which this remark implies to exist, I

must explain what I mean by "deadleck". It occurs when a case

lasts longer than the number of days allotted to it; and there-n

-fera arises especially in connexion with the trial of short

not long cases) cases which have had two or three days sat

apart for them. If for example, a case for which I have allowed

three days, takes four or five, then the case fixed next for

hearing must be postponed, and also the ones after that; and

then in the middle of it all perhaps a Full Court case which

has been fixed and which cannot be postponed, comes on, or the

Assizes, and then the whole arrangements of the Court are upset,

with the result that suitors are put to great trouble and

annoyance. But this is not what is known popularly as

"the

Law's delays"; those simply come from lack of judicial time to

hear the cases within a reasonable period after they are ready

for trial.

In connexion with this question I must say

that there is a very easy way of getting rid of deadlocks;

which is by fixing cases with longer intervals in between. It

would
