Instead of dealing with technical matters, I shall take a different path to-night, because you may like to hear from a judge something of the reality of his everyday life, the actual decisions that he has to make and the actual problems that he has to face. Will you, therefore, go with me upon one of the circuits? As you know, the whole country is divided into seven circuits, and the one that I should like to choose for the purpose of this evening is the North Eastern circuit—Newcastle, Durham, York and Leeds.
