A survey, conducted by the ministry of tlie attorney - general showed the amount of time spent in the courtrooms throughout southwestern Ontario. Although there is no formal guidelines for the amount of time judges should spend in court, the ministry officials believe that judges should sit about five hours a day. However the average hours spent in court each day in southwestern Ontario is 3.3. hours. In Bruce, the hours spent were averaged at 3.4, 3.7 in Perth, 2.7 in Grey, 2.7 in Middlesex, 3.8 in Ken, 3.1 in Oxford, 4.2 in Essex and 3.2 in Lambton. Most court days start at 10 ' a.m. and run until 1 p.m. when there's a break and resume at 2 p.m. They can be finished fairly early or run as late as 6 p.m. The study also shows the backlog of charges, as of the end of March. This backlog includes criminal code charges, traffic offences, municipal bylaw violations and others. During this period Huron had a backlog of 732 charges. However larger counties had a greater amount of backlog. In 1Bruce there were 1,205, 1,106 in Grey, 1,626 in Elgin, 1,729 in Kent, 1',820 in Oxford and in Middlesex there were 9,763 charges, Across the province it was found that bylaw offences raise the amount of charges. In Ontario the backlog was set at 2,193,743, and if the municipal bylaw offences were removed the total would be reduced to 400,746. Sep. brd...... continued from page 14, books and other materials.
