"EVOLUTION OF JUSTICE.
CHANGE IN METHODS.
An interesting and typically humorous ac- count of the institution and development of the Courts of Justice was given by Mr. Justice Darling in a lecture on January 27th to members of the Working Mon's College, Crowndale-road. General Sir F. Maurice provided. “
