Un- der the system any prisoner possessing $6.00 in cash for a fee may brief any rohcd barrister in court. The accused may not see cottuscls face before he makes his selection. On the first day of the introduction of the system five accused indicated that they would like to avail themselves of the privilege, but only two pos- sessed the necessary fee. Chairs were arrang- ed in neat rows on either side of the Bar table. facing the Bench with their hacks to the dock. A fcvv ntinutes before the judge entered the court l4 yotittg barristers filed in and took their places. The two accused could see only rows of wigs and black gowns. One chose “the mid- dle man in the back row," who was Mr. G. Coyle, son of judge Coyle. The other chose “the. first gentlcnlztn on the right in the front row." The first accused explained later that he had “simply taken pot luck" in making his sch-c- tion. lint the other accused said that his choice had been governed by the fact that the barris- ter he had selected “wore the oldest wig." 1F l British and foreign cotttrol of companies op- erating in Canada has recently been the sub- ject of survey by the statistical service of the Doininiott Government.
