Mr. Scallan, solicitor, who spoke from the end of the table, said—Your worships, I am solicitor for one of the traversers, and I cannot get near my counsel to communicate with him. The court is filled with detectives.
Mr. Molloy—My solicitor has a right to be here; I want my solicitor to be near me.
Mr. Dix—Certainly; how can men defend their clients if they are inconvenienced.
An appeal was then made to the detectives who occupied the side bar behind the counsel to make way.
Mr. Murphy, Q.C., said one was a policeman who was summoned. Mr. Dix—The police have no right to take seats.
The detectives then yielded, and the professional gentlemen and the reporters were accommodated.
Mr. Dix then called the cases.
Mr. Molloy—I appear with Mr. Heron, Q.C., on behalf of J.J. Lalor.
Mr. Crean—I appear for Dr. Waters.
Mr. John Martin—I appear on behalf of myself.
