Two Magistrates, Messrs. Brockman and Wilson, appeared before the Chief Justice this morning at the Supreme Court, says the Straits Times of the 12th inst., on the order issued by the Court for them to show cause why they did not try Attar Singh, who was committed to the Bench Court some time ago by Mr. Justice Hyndman-Jones to take his trial on a charge of forgery, an offence alleged to have been com. mitted during the hearing of a civil case. The Attorney-General addressed his Lordship this morning at some length, subsequent to the magistrates having shown cause for not trying the case, contending that they had no power to do so under the existing ordinance The Chief Justice reserved his decision. The object of the action by the Attonery-General simply to obtain a decision on the point, which would establish a precedent for future cases of similar nature. The man Attar Singh disappeared after his dismissal, so the question of his being charged again at the Police Court i scarcely North considering.
