under this or any other Acs, and
there the matter ends.
But the council it is said haye given
some colour to the demand for the
appointment of a Police Magistrate
under 41, ro, C. 4. Such au ap-i
potrocot did not need the interven-
tion of the County Council at hot
may the made ou representation of
any reliatflO party to the A-ttorney
General show,ing the absolute .neces-
iity for such an appointment. How-
ever, on the action forced upon tho
cOuncilthe Onto= ;Glizelte lately con -
tabled the official notification of the
appointment of latr.• Scott, of Clinton,
to he a Police Magistrate for those
counties under Meprovisions of the 41,
Pic, C. 4, as therein expressly stated.
Let us now see what are his rights
and privileges under this Act.
.The Oth section enacts that "when
the Lieutenant Governor in Council
is of the opinion that the doe achniu-
istration of jostle° requires tl, tempor,
ary., appointment of a Police Magis-
trate for a comity, or part of a conuty,

lature of Ontario), by law appertain-

vision as to salary shall no apply to
any case iu whieli the LegiSlature, or
the Comity Council, or ether muni-
cipal Concil shall see fit to appro-
priate or pay , a salary to such Pollee
Magistrate."
The 2nd sub section provides that
he shall be ane-oficio Justice of
the Re4Ce for the w iolo cciunty or
'part, for which he is 'appointed, "but
it shall not be his duty, unless it is
couvenient so to do, to entertain any
'complaint with reference to an of=
fence committed Outside the 'limits of
the territory for which iie is Pollee
Nagistrate.' The, 4th sub-section-
giv(16- him libertyto sit Aisne, with
power Of two Onstices, in cases witere
•-two.ate:tequirecl and an appeal from
the 4ecisiou of the Police Magistrate
is given by the "Act regulating the
sale of spirituons liquors, "to the
Judge of the Crogity Court of the
county in whieh the conviction is
made, sitting in chambers, without,a
jury" as nrovn,:ted in thc liquor :license
Act, S. 71, S. S. 2 and ,repeated in,
-47, Vic. O. 84, Sec. 18 and confirmed
by 48, Vic. 114&. . .
Tho Comity „Coundil . have very
properly declined to, atfiroi the ex-
pediency tif the appoiutment of a
entailed Police.Magistrate, at the Ao-'
wand of prohibition fanatics, bub.
they have got a gentleman appointed
as an unsaid Police Magistrate whom
theyexpect may sustain them in
their peguliar views. • I do not sop -
pose that gentleman will administer
the law otherwisethan according td
his oath of .otlice and the best of his
judgment. As to the extent of his ac-
quaintance 'with the criminal laav I
know nothing.. As the matter stands
it is fortunate for him that he is not
bound to travel about, at his own
expense, nor to give his services for
_less than the ordinary Magisterial
'fees to which 113 may he entitled in
: cotninon with his brother &latices.
Possibly :the ':prohibitionists may
meditate a, fresh assault 'open the
County Council to grant tiro asalary
hereafter, and that failing there the
municipal council of the town of Olin
ten may be appealed ;to under the.
2nd sub. -section of. section 9 .referrel-
lo, but 1 do hot think any...connell in
Huron, would venture to inflict fur-
ther injury upon the ratepayer's, who
were beguiled into the passing of a
by-law, and now have their eyes open
to the fraud practised upon ttafpni, the
result being the rapid spread, of in-
temperance, where tempi:taupe nee -

Editor News-Rec6rd,
DEAR': Sin. --The missioliary pro-

commenced in this county, and was
*included at St. Montag, before the

which was lauded* by your

'that journal has no*.arnple time to

been making it "hot" for 4- some of
the Members, but 'the fact that he
put '$10,000 in:unarm on his life
before he wept; is significant."
Prudent.Maloolm, no doubt he felt
that if the five -and -thirty gentlemen

his late missionary tour orossed his
path, there was danger to his mins

repudiates everything Mach, and
in his same issue tells no that he
was sorry to see a tacit regognition.

local House. He says: "Thenther
