You all know, as welt as I do, that the
Scott Act was settled on the 30th of
October, and so far as the ratepayers are
concerned it is cod, and cannot be, aa

THE PNLICE MAGISTRACY.
The question of the polis magistracy
in Huron is likely to Le settled at an
early date. The motion of the musty
o,uaeil sodomise the manorial of the
Hanoi Comity Scutt Act aesosiatiem,
which aomtnated Mr. John Beattie, of
Seaforth, for the positive, is ead.>reed by
all friends of temperance throuithoat the
comity at large, and we hope the Govern -
.ant will lime no time in acting upon it.
The appointment of a magistrate is as
imperative neeessity in Huron, and the
sooner the appututment is trade the 1I
law has been flagrantly violated, end that
inspectors and oommissioners have owed
by with folded arms. Nay, more ; they
have endeavored to strangle any efforts
that were put forth by sly temperance
element to lessen the ori se.
As we pointed out Isar week, the oom
miatinners are pronouncedly against the
Butt Act , the chairman has a brother
in the business ; one of his emaciates
has a arm who is one of the derelict i.-
spemnrs . sad the other two inspectors
and commissioners are not "above
suspicion."
Tiers ars auras who argue that a
polies magistrate with judicial power',
will have two arbitrary an authority
because there will be no appeal from his
decision. Well, why should there be an
sppsall If all the evidence is heard
beton the polies magistrate, and the
circumstances watrarit a oonvictioo. wby
shou:d the criminal not be convicted ?
If a man u ought in the act, ccnvteted
of theft, and sent W jail, how is G that
he has not the right to appeal 1 If a
thief hasn't the right to appeal, why
should the keeper of • ironer, ? They
are both criminal& in the eye of the law,
add each has hie friends sad grope-
thaws.
Thea 'hey say, "John Beattie or any
other temperas*, sun should net to ap-
pointed, for he is In sympathy with the
Act." Indeed' Then they might just
as well object to hewing • thief tried be-
fore Jades Toms, for the reason that oar
senior judge is an haat mss. It re-
quires a man who is in sympathy with
