Part of the debate – in the House of Commons am ar 27 Gorffennaf 1923.
That is an instance of the way in which trial by jury can operate to the great enrichment of counsel and the great impoverishment of a client. Speaking as a member of the Bar, I can say that if a member of the Bar considered only his income he would desire trial by jury, if possible, in every case. Not only are the fees larger, but the time spent in trying the case is longer and the mistakes that may result and lead to the Court of Appeal and possibly to the House of Lords are more numerous.
