to pav a proportionate share of jury costs then the expenses would be fairly divided Failing which some plan should he devised whereby the thousands of dollars wasted in jury fees at To ronto Courts by Judges trying non jury cases at jury courts and waiting for hours for lazy counsels to get briefs ready should be stopped Another way some money could be saved would be to establish a Crimin al
