when it could be done.

Mr. W.L. Hackett--All the seats should not be occupied by policemen
to the exclusion of the bar.

Mr. Scallan, solicitor, who spoke from the end of the table,
said--Your worships, I am solicitor for one of the traversers, and I
cannot get near my counsel to communicate with him. The court is
filled with detectives.

Mr. Molloy--My solicitor has a right to be here; I want my solicitor
to be near me.

Mr. Dix--Certainly; how can men defend their clients if they are
inconvenienced.

An appeal was then made to the detectives who occupied the side bar
behind the counsel to make way.

Mr. Murphy, Q.C., said one was a policeman who was summoned. Mr.
Dix--The police have no right to take seats.

The detectives then yielded, and the professional gentlemen and the
reporters were accommodated.

Mr. Dix then called the cases.

Mr. Molloy--I appear with Mr. Heron, Q.C., on behalf of J.J. Lalor.

Mr. Crean--I appear for Dr. Waters.
