The License Acts.
To the Editor of the Huron Expositor.
D4R SIR : Will you kindly allow me
through your valuable paper to correct,
as far as I am concerned, a stunor that is
going the rounds of Seaforth and vicinity
to the effect that at a Magistrates Court
held in the Town Hall, Seaforth, on the
first I of June last, the Magietrates
Bench was packed -that is the term
used
trate
pose
Sir, I
on th
lend
Of ceurse, in this matter I can only
speak for myself. I was there by request
of the Mayor who had charge of thecae()
, and if he bad not preesed me to go, I
i would not have sat on the case at all,
and I certainly was not biased in my
judgment lathe matter, and although we
had a much larger court than we ever had
in S4fortti before yet, after hearing the
. evidence and weighing- it over carefully
we unanimously agreed to convict defend-
ant, and the only real difference in opin-
ion was in reference to the term of im-
prisonment in case of no sufficient dis-
tress eing found. The majority decid-
ed on 2 days imprisonment, although fine
and c sts were $24.25, Myself and 1301116.
-othere objected to that as being out of
proportion to fine and costs. Now, Sir,
I am glad that the Magistrates of
-Seaforth and vicinity, instead of attempt-
' ing to defeat the License Live, are a unit
in its favor, and instead of having the
Mayer and myself doing the -businetis of
enforcing the law, I hope they will come
out Manfully and take their full share of
the cases that arise from time to time,
and as far as I am concerned, I will give
way at any time. if any other person
wishes to do the work, as I often feel it
a great inconvenience to me to lose my
time in attending to those matters.
