At the opening of the Court the coast]
liar were present in full force, and Mr.
M. C. Cameron, Q. C., atter a few ap-
peopriate remarks on their behalf, read
the following address To His Lordship,
Mr. Jwtiee Cameron :-
We,
-We, the members of the Bar of the
county of Huron, gladly avail ourselves
of the opportunity which your first judi-
cial visit to this county affords us of ex-
pressing our high estimation of the ability
and integrity which have successfully
carried you through a.brilliant profession-
al and public career to the distinguished
'position you now occupy. Contending
as you have done with the best and
.ablest men of your time in natters of the
greeted have notmy won the
regard of those with whom you acted in
a public capacity, but the respect of the
people at large, and they, es well as we,
hailed with satisfaction your advance-
ment to the well-earned honor of the
Bench. The qualities which have orna-
mented your life thus far will ^rot, we
are confident, cease to govern yourudi-
cial life, and, we are equally. confident,
will not fail to preserve for you the ad-
miration and esteem you have so honor-
ably won, but will enable you to gain
fresh distinction and a still more endear-
ing place in the affections of the public.
We trust you may long be spared to
grace the Bench to afford us the benefit
of your wisdom and experience and the
example of your pure and upright life.
Accept, therefore, our 'congratulations
upon your recent elevation, and be as-
sured that no efforts shall be wanted on
Onr pert to render your relations with
the members of the Bar of the County of
Huron as pleasant as we are gratified to
know they have been with the other
members of the Bar of this Province.
His Lordship replied in most elo-
quent and feeling terms, and said that it
was a worthy ambition to attempt to
follow even distantly in the footsteps of
Canadian jurists.
The following gentlemen were duly
sworn on the grand jury :ee
John Keine, foreman, Nicholas
Austin, David Bear, Thomas Bell,
Rithard Gagen, George Johnston, John
Marquis, William Meer, Lancelot
Nethery, John Swallow, J. T. Wilkie,
?atrick Wood, James Acheson, John
Blatchford, A,exanee 'Parana. Charles
Harris; .Alexander Livingstone, John i
Manson, Solomon `Manning, Samuel
Smith, John Wynn, Andrew Waddell,
Andrew Young.
His Lordship then trade the follow-
ing
ADDRESS TO THR GRAND JURY
j I
1 am happy, on my first judicial visit
to Goderich, to find the calendar so light.
conaisting-of only three criminal cases.
After explaining the law 'in relation to
the crimes of rape, forgery and larceny,
his Lordshipcontinued : The lightness of
the calendar in enlarge a county as Hu-
ron reflects much credit upon the in-
habitants. Since I have been on the
Bench there has been a contemplated
change of the Grand,Jury system, and it
is well that the constituted authorities
should know the feeling of the country
in connection therewith. Recently the
Local Parliament passed a statute reduc-
ing the number of grand jurors to fif-
teen, but twelve of that number had to
agree to a prima facie case requiring in-
vestigation at the hands of a petty jury,
and then twelve had toag as to the
guilt of the accused. Fifeennd ju-
rors may be found inconvenient, or this
reason, that four may not answer for
some causes, and thus delay the business
of the Court. I observe there are twen-
ty-one of you; as the Bill spoken of has
not yet come in force, no proclamation
having been issued, thus far. by the Lieut.
Governor, calling it into operation. 1
understand the reason such proclamation
has not been made is that there is some
doubt as to the right of the Legislature
to pass such a a law. If the grand jury
system is a part of the Constitution the
Local Parliament hes such power ; but if
you are a part of the procedure of the
Court. then only the Parliament of Can-
ada can deal with you. I wish to get the
feeling of the country on the question of
the abolition of grand jurors. if the
grand jury system were done away with,
then some other tribunal must be brought
existenoe to perform your present
duties. If another body were supplied,
it must be an individual of some stand
nig, and must cost no more than you do i
now. Brand juries have often Ignored
cases that magistrates have sent for trial,
which may he taken as an evidence of
their usefulness. I wish you to ex rem
an opinion as t. any change vnu think
should he made in the-s7atew. From
the ohserptions 1 have ojeas made. you
nay have gathered my personal views on
the matter, but 1 hope thst, should you
have inferred my primes opinion, no
[natter of delicacy will prevent yeti frim
presenting your ewn glees on the subject;
to me. Pris..ners are sant to he kept in

Y RaaltNTYENT.
The Grand Jury on their oath present,
that in performance- of duty they have
inspected the Gaol, and found that the
courteous Gaoler, Mr. Dickson, has to
all appearance faithfull7 discharged his
duty in keeping the Gaol clean, and in
taring for those committed to his charge.
They were pained to find a young woman
who has lately given birth to a child
there. She has been incarcerated for the
part sic months on, the charge of vagran-
cy; her time expires on fhe tenth inst.,
and then sh,• will be thrown on the
charities of the country in a helpless
condition, she having no friends or means
of support. under her existing circum-
stances. We, the Grand Jury, consider
it a great injustice' to the Gaol authori-
ties that they should be compelled to
look after such cases. and would hope
that some plan ,nay be adopted by which
she may he removed to some home for
such unfortunates. In yyur Lordship's
able. instructive and courteous address
to the Grand Jury, you enunciated an
Opinion relative to the number of jurors,
and wished an expresaion from us as to
our opinion. if we thought a change
necessary. and if s••. what I We, there-
fore. take the liberty of presenting that
we do not feel justified in recommend-
ing the abolition or change of a system
of such long standing, and which wise
legislators have viewed as essential to
secure the liberty of the subject. In
justice to the minority. we would say
that seven of the jurors wished a reduc-
tion in the number. The greater num-
ber of ,guarantees thrown around the

A emene lstieatiat was rod tree
solicitor of the G. 1'. It. ,1 asking that
antics be taken in reference t•' the box-
ing of a public drain through their pri-
vate property, as injury was (wing Crone
by the constant wash from the open
drain.
Mr. Bingham said the drain had been
Imauiind by hist, and he did not think
there was any danger of damage being
done by the action of the drain, and sug-
gested that the soli,yk,r be communt-
oased with to that efleot.
Mr. Jordan thought if there was aim
danger to he feared, the matter should
be attended to, au that the Council would
not be brought into a law quarrel.
Mr. Darrow took a similar stand. 'rhe
Council had iso light. to peas the water
through the lot in question, without
having the drain properly boxed. The
land in question was the private property
of the R. R. Co., and if the nutter was
not dealt with at once, there would be
cause for a chancery suit between the
G. T. !t Co. and the town.
Mr. 'Bingham said they had examin-
ed the records and could not find that
the land belonged to the G. T. R. Co.
The report of the Street Inspector
was read, which stated that the water
ih the finks was holding out well. No.
damage was being done, or was likely
eo be done on the G. T. R. hill at the
foot of Waterloo street; but a box might
be put down which might settle all cont-
plainte at present existing. The_ cost
would not be more than 965.
Moved by Mr. Garrott-, seconded by
Mr. Sloane, that the report be adopted
and that the natter be referred to the
Public Works Committee -Carried.
A communication yip si read from Mr.
f!^^":e, gating pertniatlon to have Mait-
land street crossed by a switch from the
G. T. ft to Ito salt works.
Moved by Mr. Johnston, BEcotnded, by
Mr. Garrote. that the same privileges be
granted as to Mr. Williams, and that
the matter be referred to Public Worry
Comiflittee.
The following accounts were recom-
nieded to paid by Finance Committee: -
0. Crabh 914.53; R. Bonnamy, $3,20;
Williams & Murray, 147.22; R. W. Mc-
Kenzie. 113.65; J. A. McKie, 16; John

THE COW eY-LAW
wee. then i,:troduced, passed through
committee of tt..- whole, and -read a se-
cond and third time, Messrs. Elliott and
Dsneey strenuously objecting.
THE FIRE LIMITS.
Mr. Acheeos1 asked if the Fire Limits
By-law was a dead letter, and stated that
an infringement was being made by Mr.
Horace Horton who was putting up a
frame building within the precinta.
Mr. Jordan explained that Mr. Hor-
ton had torn down a large building and
was substituting :i smaller and more
compact one.and did not considereit an
infringement. of the By-law.
The Mayor- - It certainly is an infringe-
went.
it was then moved by Mr. Jordan,
and seconded, that the Street Inspector
be Instructed to investigate the natter,
and ,f it be an infringement of the By-
law that action be taken in accordance
with the provisions.
THE PAUPER QUL*TION
was discussed at, considerable length,
and the opinions of the different Coun-
cillors retarding "honest poverty" and
its opposite were given without stint.
THE PARE 11008E
"Warm water and other accommodation"
matter was next wrought up by Mr.
Elliott, and a lively time was experience -
ed. Recent c,'m,lumications in outside
newspapers and letters from S. 8.
eaprintendents were quoted from by
Messrs. Elliott and Sloane, while Mr.
Ifioholson was the principal advocate of
the oplroeite party. The debate degen-
ested into a squabble as to the relative
merits of whiskey and water.
It was finally moved by Mr. Elliott,
seconded by Mr. Sloane, that the Street
Inspector be instructed to estimate what
it would twat t0 fence off the Park from
the aim user hotel.
lte'itt the discussion on the motion

OBITUARY. -It u our pSInfui duty to
record the demise of Richard Ryan, one
of our oldest settlers in this vicinity.
The subject of this brief memoir was
born in the County of Tipperary, Ireland,
about the year 1812. He immigrated to
Ontario in 1838, and resided for a fowwl
months in Streetaville, near Toront6Y-
afterwards he tame to this neighborhood
which was then a oomparative wilderness,
where he spent the rest of his pilgrimage,
respected by all who had the pleasure of
forming his acquaintance. He was mar-
ried in the year 1844, and leaves a wife
and large family to mourn his kis. He
was a member of the Methodist church
since 1843, and since that time lived in
the blessed enjoyment of religion. He
was Master of L. O. L. No. 324. for a
considerable length of time. He was
naturally amiable and honorable in all
his business transactions, and obliging in
his dealings with others. His friends, old
whom he leaves many to mourn his loss,
were called to witness the last rites of
the Church, and the interring of his re-
mains in the Dungannon cemetery on
Sunday, 3rd inst. The funeral services
were conducted by the Rev. R. Davey,
Methodist minister, who improved the
occasion by an excellent discourse from
the text " Neither shall they die any
more, (Luke 20 and 36,) to a very large
congregation. Much sympathy is felt for
his bereaved family, but what is their
loss is his gain. He departed this life
Friday morning, let inst., trusting In a
crucified Redeemer.
