When he arter- ward objected Mr. Steers exhorted him to sit still, and remember that. he had objectedâ€"(that he was always objectingâ€"and that the court had ruled against him, Would he keep‘ st'ill ? Then came Mr. Hopkins with the crossâ€"examination and the sort of dialogue that led up to the draâ€" matic incident above recorded may be gathered from the following: Mr. Hopkinsâ€"Oh, I did not know you were so clever. Mr. Steersâ€"People have to learn lots of things in the police court. ‘ Col. Deacon was conducting'the court. Mr. Steers and Mr. Hopkins were lawyers for the prosecution and defence respectively. The magis- trate had asked Col. Deacon to try the case, since he himself wished to act as prosecuting counsel because the girl in the case lived at his house as domestic. Against that procedure Solicitor Hopkins and his colleague Solicitor McSweyn lodged strong objection early in the case. That point caused an initial irrita- tion between the two lawyers, who finally enacted such a disgraceful scene in the court. The proceedings of the next two hours saw that irri- tation steadily increased until the assault took place‘ After Mr. Steers had questioned the girl, Blan- chard, Mr. Hopkins began the cross- examination. His questions were audibly commented upon by Mr. Steers during the entire examina- tion. This rendered Mr. Hopkins' work very difficult and. his temper none of the best. His appeals to- C01. Deacon for order, met no re» sponse from that oflicial except the information that the lawyer was usually an interrupter himself. _ iWhil'e Mr. Steei‘s was examining the witness Mr. Hopkins had raiscq MI.

Mr. Steers made no hostile demonstra- tion except 0. few rapid steps to- ward his adversary, who had retrea- ted. a little in fighting formation. u Mr. Steers knickerbockercd, and smiling had been walking up and down the floor with his hands in his pockets.
