| January 16, 1892.] PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. CABITAL! Str,—The proposal to extend the Cab Radius to five miles from Charing Cross is > in its way, but it does not go far enough. My idea is that the cheap cab-fare should include any place in the Home Counties. Cabmen should also be prevented by law from refusing to take a person, say, from Piccadilly to St. Albans, on the plea that their horse ot ‘that kind should be punished as perjury, of that kind show i as jury.

I am sure that a place which, like the one I write from, contains a Lawn Tennis Club (entrance into which we keep very select), a Circulating Library, where all the new books of two ae back are obtainable without much delay, a couple of handsome and ascetic young Curates, a public Park, capable of holding twenty- six perambulators and as many nursemaids at one and the same time, can only fitly be described as an Elysium. Still, we should be grateful for better facilities for getting away from its delights now and then, and this proposal to extend the Cab Radius has the warmest support of Yours, Easriy Satisrrep.

Have you a right to ask any| question in Court ? | Answer. Certainly, and the questioning is | left to my discretion. Y Ques. What do you understand by discre- tion ? Ans. An unknown quality defined occa- | sionally by the Press and the Public. Ques. Is the definition invariably the same ? ; Ans. No, for it depends upon the exi- gencies of the Press and the frivolity and tickleness of the Public. : Ques. Were you to refrain from ques- tioning a Witness anent his antecedents, and subsequently those antecedents be- coming known, his evidence were to lose the credence of the papers, what would be said | of you ? | Ans. That I had neglected my duty. | Ques. Were you to question a Witness |on his t, mY by an interruption of the |trial, that Witness’s evidence were conse- |quently to become superfluous, what would then be said of you? | everything connected Ans. That I had exceeded my duty. Ques. Is it an easy matter to reconcile the interests of your clients with the require- ments of Public Opinion. Ans. It is a most difficult arrangement, the more especially as Public Opinion is usually com of the joint ideas of hundreds of people who know as much about law as does a bed-post. Ques. In the eyes of Public Opinion, whose commendation is the most questionable ? Ans. Thecommendation of a Judge, because it stands to reason ( ing to ideas) that a man who knows his subject thoroughly must be unable to come to any definite de- cision as to its merits. Ques. And in the eyes of the same authority. whose commendation is the most valuable ? Ans. In the eyes of Public Opinion the most valuable commendation would come from a man who is absolutely ignorant of with a Counsel’s prac- tice, but who can amply supply this possible deficiency by writing aletter to the papers and signing himself ** Farr Pray.” Ques. Is there any remedy for setting right any misconception that may have occu as to the rights and s of cross-examiners ? Ans. Yes, the Public might learn what the business of a cross-examiner really is. Ques. I see, and having done this, can you recommend anything ? Ans. Having learned a cross-examiner’s business, the Publie might then have time to attend—to its own !
