Brit Twit Quits

"A magistrate has resigned from the bench following a complaint about his use of the Twitter network.

"IT consultant Steve Molyneux, from Telford, Shropshire, posted messages on the social networking site about cases at the town's magistrates' court.

"He said everything he reported on Twitter had already been said in open court and he had done nothing illegal.

"Mr Molyneux said he had been making use of the latest technology to bring `transparency` to the judicial system."
