POLICE COURT PROCEDURE.

MR BOWLEY AND THE MAGISTRATE.

Mr. Bowley then asked his worship if any grounds were laid before him when the application was made by the solicitor for the prosecution to have the receiving caso taken first.

AN INTERESTING DUEL-

An interesting question of Police Court procedure was raised by Mr. F. B. I Bowley at the Magistracy yesterday, the point in dispute between Mr. J. R.

That course was open too far, Mr. Bowley. to them if they chose to take it, and if that course were adopted the defence had the right to apply to the Court to have the cases severed. But as to the course it was proposed to take, the receiver case first, he did not think there was any precedent; he had never heard of any such thing being done before, and he thought his worship should call upon the pro- secution to justify such procedure.

Mr. Howley-It seems extraordinary that an arrangement of this sort should be made if there was no reason for it. If there was no reason for making it, then there can be no reason for unmaking it; ask you to unmake it. Will your wor ship refuse my application on the grounde I have put forward }
