ment does not vary very ig-reatly from year to year. But ll may say. that taking the last five yearn, the aggregate expenditure for the. year 1924 is slightly lower than any of the four preceding years. ltis be- low the average of those four pm- ceding years.

Perhaps the largest single item of expenditure in this department is that of administration of the Courts of Justice; and ‘that is one of the items over which, ‘I may say. there is very little control, because the money is expended ‘in paying civil and criminal juries in attend- ance‘ atythe several terms of our Supreme Court. You will remem- ber. a year ago, that a Jury Act was introduced and at ‘that time l took occasion to remark that the intention was, among other things, to try to effect a saying in connec tion with this. Previous to that. jurors were summoned who attend- ed every term of the Court irres- pective of whether or not they would be required. lf there WEN no criminal cases and no civil jury cases, a civil jury of thirty-six men would not ‘be required and conse- quently need not be called; but un- der the law as 'lt existed previous to the ‘Jury Act of 1924 ‘the jurors were required to be in attendance. Unfortunately since that, (luring 1924, there has not been a single tenm of the Supreme Court without a j-ury case, so that up to the pre- sent that Aer, has not made the sav-
