English administration, of justice is, so justly famous, and which has made it respected and trusted by the people." Again the Chief Justice in dealing with this ques tion observed that "now that the prisoner may give evidence, it is more than ever material that he should know the evidence against him in order that he may meet it, and, as we do not assume the prisoner guilty until

That is an extremely satisfactory state of affairs and should appeal to the native mind, even when that mind is corrupted by criminal tendencies.

At the same time, his Lordship threw out some remarks which Mesars. S. T. Dunn and J; Baron acted av wo submit were as unfair as they were uncalled judges in respect of the exhibits in the vege- for.

The Attorney-General referred to the custom of this Court, which has bean, he said, invariably never to translate the evidence when prisoners are represebled by counsel: That it was the custom seems to be the fact, for at the first murder case I tried in this Colony I drew stication to it, and

of dollars are a mere nothing to them, so that Messrs. Coode, Sou and-Matthews doubtless thought themselves exceptionally considerate when they suggested the modification of the original scheme by an increase in its cost of two and three-quarter lakhs. As the engineers considered the additional works absolutely essential, it became necessary to reduce the cost of the scheme, of rather to bring it with the limit prescribed by the Governor, by cattailing the len tb of the breakwater, and the area of the shelter. From all that we can gather, and the optimistic stalement made by Mr. Boulton 'it does not appear that this curtailment will affect, the adequacy of be scheme. As he states in his report

The original scheme would have enclosed a total area of 194 acres of water, and according to the standard adopted by the Consulting Engineers, 166 acres of that aren would bavo been effectively sheltered by the breakwater, and additional Works The scheme as DOW modified will enclose a total area of 167 acres; and according to the same standard, 140 acres | directed the evidence to be translated and of that area will be effectively sheltered.
