Some of the more mischievous ones on the outskirts of the crowd took to throwing things again, and the raids they made on these ultimately produced a sort of Chinese Donnybrook Fair in which pigtails were pulled, gowns torn, and umbrellas smashed to a considerable extent.

There is no need, however, to go to the record of over-ruled judgments to arrive at the standard of the New South Wales District Court jadlelary, or part of it. The facts are an open scandal, and it is time, to speak plainly about them. There are men on the bench whose knowledge of law is a nollity and whose well-earned reputa tion in point of intelligence and common-sense is such as to make them a mark for the honest contempt and undisguised derision of every practitioner who appears before them. It s notorious that there are even more serious grounds for dissatisfaction. The facts that give colour to widespread and plain-spoken rumours of corruption must be as much within the know. ledge of the Minister of Justice as they are within that of nearly every lawyer or journalist or man of business in Sydney. That there are good men, and very good man, on the list of District Court Judges we do not for a moment deny. More than one of them could be named whore eleva. tion to the beach of the Supreme Cond.
