Excerpt from The Canada Law Journal, Vol. 26: From January to December, 1890 Under the provisions of Consolidated Rule 211,single Court Sittings for all the Divisions were to be held on Wednesday and Friday, and Chambers on Monday and Thursday in each week. The rule has been suspended until further notice. We observe, however, that the Judges of the Queen´s Bench and Common Pleas Divisions, are taking steps in the direction of the suspended rule, by holding Court and Chambers on different days. This is a great convenience to practitioners, and we hope that the Judges may at their next meeting see their way clear to carry out the policy of the Judicature Act in assimilating the practice in the Common Law and Chancery Divisions, by bringing rule 211 into operation. Apropos of the recent appointments of q.c.s, we have heard of a rather good story, which may give the Minister of justice some further idea of his recent lists. We should be very grateful to him if the only objection to some of his favourites as that they never held a brief. A day or two after the recent appointments Were announced, a solemn-visaged junior barrister appeared in the chambers of one of the new appointees with a brief in a County Court action, which he requested his friend to take; he declined it on the ground that he was too busy, and suggested that the solemn-faced visitor should take it himself, but he could not do it. Why not, was it a difficult case No, it was quite an easy one. Was it a bad case? No, it was on the contrary quite a simple one, and sure to succeed. Well, why on earth don´t you take it yourself, said the gentleman about to walk in silk attire. Well, the fact is, said he of the solemn visage, I don´t care to ruin my chances of a silk gown by appearing in court.
