The editor notes the council's overall good work but warns of end-of-term criticism for this serious error.
The Kogar ah Police Court opened with a magistrate urging settlements out of court to avoid public airing of disputes. Mr. Smithers spoke of efforts to discourage legal action while noting mixed success as cross cases were withdrawn and idle curiosity waned.
