North Huron Magistrates.
To the Editor of TUo Poem,
Sm, --Sou asked me weree't there two
Parties ou the bonch in Brussels at the
hearing of this famous. ease that took
place on the railway train between
'Hingham and Brussels, In answer, 1
say yea, there appeared to be. Yon also
asked me, how is ib that so many magis-
trates are gathered up at so many
different times, as were in this case. I
answer again, that for the Inst forty
years the magistrates in North Huron
have failed to establish confidence in the
community, beoanse of the gathering of
the clans, and the oonduct of the magic•
trates in this ease has nob made it auy
better. Just let us see ; eight magis•
trates took their seats on the Benrh in
Brussels to try 5.0 information laid un.
der the SummaryConviotions' Act. The
counsel for the proseoutiou asked the
court to amend the information, so as to
have it disposed of by the Indictable
•Offences Act. This was objected to be.
cause it would not be an amendment ; it
would be a new information. Besides,
"it would close the mouth of the defend.
ants and their witnesses, aid make the
defendants prisoners instead of defend.
ants. I' would also deprive them of
their costs of witness fees ie the Sum.
ataxy case. Then a vote was taken to
amend the information as requested.
Four magistratee voted to amend and
four against, therefore on a tie it aould
not be amended. This vote, I suppose,
showed the complesiou of the wart, and,
,of course, something had to be done.
Therefore Mr. Reymann, J. P., was
ttpitobforked" on to the Bench and then
the counsel for the prosecution asked
that a vote be taken again, as (he said)
°anotber gentleman had taken his seat
on the Bench." To this vote being taken
I objected and the objection was held.
The information was then withdrawn by
counsel, and costs awarded in the Dasa.
Now, Sir, it is evident that Mr. King,
counsel for the prosecution, must have
thought that Mr. Reymann, J. P., word
have voted for his amendment, else be
(hir. Tying) would not have asked for a
second vote in the ease. After thie
stage of the case, or cases, what follow-
ed ? One magistrate could have do to
all that there was to do. Treat the law.
as absolute ; take the evidence, a rd
commit the prisoners for trial. But in-
stead. this Bench of magistrates n'.ts
augmented four different times by inat;ia
trates from the different townships of
Hallett, Wawanosb, Morrie, Grey, Turn.
berry, Howick, and the village of
Wroxeter. Pray, Sir, what did all theta
magistrates do? They spent three days
and two nights committing four teen
and sent them for trial, and one ma ,is.
trate could have done so in as many
hours. Now, Sir, what did those Inst
four magistrates from North Morris,
Turnberry, Howick, and Wroxeter crane
to do, at the last moment? Theevic' ince
was all taken except against Pratt.
Who sent for these magistrates 7 flow
did they know a case was going on ?
How slid they know but that all had
been disposed of the fleet day ? Who
sent for the other magistrates that came
from near Manchester ? Who was it
sent the bogus telegram to the
County Attorney ? By what authority
did John McCrea, J. P., some back and
sit on a case that he had left of his own
free will before he had heard the evi-
dence? lllr. Spence, of Ethel, left in
the same way. Why were these two
magistrates allowed, when they came
back next day, to sit and adjudge a oaee
when they bad not heard the evidence
taken ? Out of theiwhole lot only one
magistrate objected. It is a principle
in law that the Judge must see the wit-
ness when giving the evidence, as well as
hear the witness giving it, and that the
reading of evidence Li not evidence.
But in thle ease the prisoners were dire
charged because there was no evideuoe
offered to prove the charge. The prose-
cution pleaded to another • thing quite
irrelevant to the case. Any magistrate
in a county has a right to wine and sit
on any case, and to hear all the evidence
when token and dispose of it acoording.
lv, but he must take his stab at the
beginning and sit to the end of it. I
hope, Sir, that some kind friend will
apply to the Attorney General at the
next session of Parliament end get for
each of ns sixteen J. r's. a leather
medal.

The present winter has been very
severe all over the Northwest. There is
said to be more snow now on the west
slope or the Cascade Monntaius than has
been known before in many years, The
Columbia River has been frozen over so
that people have crossed it in inttey
places where strong foe has formed this
year for the first time in the memory of
elan. The loss among cattle in some
districts has been slight, in others ex-
ceedingly heavy. In Ilutitas county,
Wash„ fully three fourths of the range
cattle have perished. The snow, which
on some ranges is waist deep, has Rept

siderable exeibement in Brantford and
district. It appears Mr, Rymal has had
more than hie sharp of auffering during
the past few years, so far was he run
down from kidney disease that he bad
lost the power of his Smite and back.
He could only get around with bbe aid of
two crutches, or when assisted by kind
hands. His death was daily expected.
On the advice of his wife he tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills and took in all nineteen
boxes. Ilio improvement was marked
from the second box, He is now Dom•
pletely cured and a living testimony of
the curative powers of that wonderful
remedy.
