ON HIGH SEAS HOW A JUSTICE OF TEXT] PEACE ADMINISTEI>rED THE I XiAW. Back in • the- Canadian 1llorth-West' Where the Lesser Jndiciav'y sty Highly Amateur and Problems Are Sometimes ' Intricate This Tribune of the People Found a Pettit Which :ttixaotly Covered -the CROSS from a small settle- xaent on the top of a high, sloping bank of the Peace River, lived an old timer named Jones. For the purpose of making occasional trips across to the settlement, Jones kept a row -boat iinoored to a little pier at the bottom of the hill. •Half a mile further up there was a, ferry for the accommodation • of people eoniing from tip country to the settlement. However, many of them, desirotis of saving the extra half mile, constantly annoyed Jones by using his boat. But those desirous of so doing were al- ways courteous cucugh to climb the hill to Jones' house and make formal request, which, in a way, allayed his, annoyance. But one day a man hurrying film up country to file on a claim ahead of some other parties took the boat without obtaining the usual permis- sion. Just as it happened, Jones, a few minutes later, found it neces- sary to make a trip across; but just as he started out he saw the boat half way across the river. Naturally he was very angry, and this occurrence, coming after a long time of half smouldering anger at the use of his boat, decided him to take action, to make an example of the culprit, in the hopes that others would take the hint, and in the future desist from using his boat. Saddling a horse he rode rapidly the longer way round by the ferry into the settlement. Before the local magistrate, one Mortimer Carlson, Jones swore out a "John Doe" war- rant. Taking this, Jones hurried to the Mounted Police office and placed it in the hands of the officer there, who accompanied him down to the landing where the confiscator of the boat had moored it. " Here Jones and the Mounted Po- lice man waited for the thief's re- turn. Shortly he did in the person of one Archie Mackenzie, another old-timer of the district, Much sur- prised and- protesting, Mackenzie submitted to arrest, and was led to the house of the. magistrate for speedy trial. Now, in the present case, the magi- strate was a particularly good ex- ample of the type of men before mentioned" He knew absolutely no- thing of law. However, to uphold his dignity and strengthen belief in his absolute fitness to hold office, he had long before imported a large set of ancient law books from the out- side world. These he never read, but some of them were always on hand on the table in the parlor, where were held the few sittings of the court. With the arrival of the prisoner, Carlson quickly convened court, to which had gathered, in the wake of the officer, most of the citizens of the little place. Had the magistrate been convers- ant with even the most superficial rules of law, the natural thing for him to have done in this case would have been to turn up to that part of the criminal code dealing with petty theft. Instead, Le turned to the word boat in the index. This direct- ed him to a certain page. Finding it, he read over carefuI:ly the words thereon, becoming bewildered as he • did so, for, according to the code, the heading dealt with piracy on the high seas. Was the river a high sea? This question at once obtruded itself upon him. He read on carefully the much punctuated :entence that followed, and found a high sea designated as a body of water possessing a tido. Now he river, by a peculiar topographical ormation, had an outlet a little fur - her down into a long swampy slough hich led into a lake. In high water n the river a small portion of its ow passed through this slough into he lake. When high water existed n the lake, or high winds blew cross it towards the river, a portion f the lake flowed back through the lough into the river. Carlson weighed this fact carefully nd decided that, in view of this fact, red according to the letter of •the aw, a charge of piracy on the high eas must be laid against Mackenzie. Fortified by this knowledge as how o proceed, the magistrate read the barge to Mackenzie as it appeared n the book. The prisoner, in private fe, was a very good friend of the an on the bench, and knew that arlson understood the circum - tames of the burry to cross the iver, which was in order to cinch his aim to certain mineral rights on red that a big corporation in a lis - ant city had been trying to lay aim to. With this in mind, Mac- enzie felt absolutely certain Carl - on would be lenient, so forthwith Ieaded guilty. This left the judge othing to do but pass sentence, Once more Carlson had recourse to Is law books to look up the pewits'.ooking It up, to his horror, he and there 'was • but• one, area that. as—death.

With hi:i best judicial air be straightened up,, eyeing the prisoner sternly. Then in Most solemn toneshe addressed the prisoner at the bar; "Archie Mac- kenzie, you have pleaded guilty to the charge of piracy an the high seas, as laid against you by Cyrus Jones. Under the criminal cods of the land you have committed a very serious offence—one of the . gravestthe law is called upon to deal 'with. The sen- tence—and there is only one—is death." At these last words his man- ner became exceedingly solemn. Even the prisoner looked glum. The. crowded listeners held their breath in anticipation of the denouement. Then in slightly lighter tone, but without relaxing In severity of man- ner, the magistrate prooeeded.: "However, is the . present case, I hardly think the act warrants this extreme measure, and I am going to exercise"—and here Carlson swelled himself up, his judicial manner be- came grand, dignified, as became one invested with majestic power of,• the law—"one of the privileges • which the law -makers of the nation, with great foresight, have seen fit to place in the bands of the justices appoint- ed to deal with such matters through- out the land.
