A JUDGE ON STRIKE
CALLED UPON TO SHOW CAUSE.
The rather unusual proceeding of a County -Court Jiidge declining to try a case sent him from the High Court was mentioned before a King’s Bench Divisional Court on 24tli June, when counsel for the plaintiff in a case against an insurance company applied for a rule directed to Judge Mellor, of the Manchester County Court, to show cause why he should not hear the case.
Counsel said the case was sent to Manchester because most of plaintiff’s witnesses lived there, but when the action came into the Judge’s list he declined to hear it, and suggested that it should go to the Liverpool Court, where two Judges were sitting. He said that he did twice as much work as the two Liverpool Judges. Later he struck the case out of the day’s list.
The Court granted the rule applied for.
