Oh dear. Obiter is in the doghouse again for a lack of geographical consistency. A reader, Rupert Barnes, has written in to point out certain deficiencies in the map we used to explain where Worth Matravers - as in the Master of the Rolls and soon to be Lord Chief Justice, Lord Phillips - is located (see [2005] Gazette, 9 June, 14). 'The article's map of the West Country used the usual soulless administrative areas but at least that map was consistent in its scheme,' he said. 'The wider map of England and Wales was an eye-opener. It showed Wales, the west and the midlands in traditional counties, while the south-east and East Anglia were shown in the local government counties as they were in 1974.' Can it get any worse? Yes, it can. 'Northern England was a heroically scrambled mixture of both. Of modern local government counties there was thankfully not a sign. I was left wondering where one can get such a muddled map.' Mr Barnes kindly offered to present again his seminar on 'Geography for lawyers', and as a trustee of the Historic Counties Trust, to provide a map for us to use on future occasions.
