THE COUNTY JUDGE.
[FROM THE filetiAL.]
The investigation of the alleged irre-
gularities charged against Judge Squier,
Senior judge of the County of Huron,
began at Goderich on Wednesday of
last week, before 2Emelius Irving, Q.
C., of Hamilton. Mr. Garrow appeared
for the prosecution, and Mr. Idington,
assisted by Mr. Seager, defended. The
following is the list of charges against,
the Judge
In the matter of the complaints
against Wilmot Richard Squier, Es-
quire, Judge of the County Court of
the County of Huron, about to be
investigated under Commission, 2Eme-
lins Irving, Esquire, Q. C., the Com-
missioner in that- behalf appointed by
His Honor the Lieutenant G-overnor of
the Province of Ontario.
1. That the said Wilmot Richard
Squier was when appointed to the said
office, and has ever since continued to
be so embarrassed financially as to
render his retention of the said office
improper in the, public interests. Among
others to whom he was and is largely
indebted are Daniel McDonald, Clerk
of the said County Court, the estate of
Wharton Hodgson; deceased, formerly
a Bailiff of the Fifth Division Court, in
the said County of Huron. James H.
Benson, a practising Attorney in the
said county; R. Carswell, who sold
him the law library which he uses ; R.
Hay & Co., who supplied him with the,
furniture in the house which he occu-
pies; John Kay who supplied him with
carpets for the said, house ; Stovel &
ii
ness and capaeit
Said office is at:a
11. From the
habits he is nect-e
the w'cked an designing especially
when i toxicate , and the proper ad-
ministration of justice in tl-ie County of
Huron is in On ant danger from this
cause. Moreo4 : there is great danger
that his judicia1 iuuotious May be even
nnintekitionallp1 Burped by those hav-
ing no evil desik, who yet manago to
intrude th nas Ilv s, owing to his drunk-
en habits, into matters pending before
him fur jndiciwl. onsideration.
12. It is a Mat er of frequent remark
and p Mk re r ch that owing to the
said Judge's lAii iicia.1 diffi ulties and
hisaid habitunkenness that he has
long b en and 11 is, under a species
of voliintary gu dianship, both as to
person and esta e, in which his guar-
dian is his ohief editor and the Clerk
of the aid Cotin Court, it is not in-
tended to suggEIst hat the C erk has ex-
ercised for air iiproper purp se the
power he nnd.o .bedly possesses over

said Judge's said bad
daily at the mercy of
Armstrong, his tailors ; Broadfoot &
Box; furniture dealers ; Daniel Gordon,
furniture dealer, and many others.
2. In addition he still owes former
clients of his considerable sums for
monies received by him for them while
a practising Attorney and. Solicitor in
the sad County of Huron, which he
failed to pay over. Among others to
whom he is indebted are: Thomas
McLennan, John Leckie, Alexander
Hunter, the estate of John Barker,
Benjamin Fralick, Anthony Dodds -
worth and others.
13. In consequence of the said finan-
cial embarrassment of the said Judge,
he has been twice charged before a
Magistrate with, criminal offences in
the nature of fraud, since his said ap-
pointment, namely, once by one Darius
Doty, with obtaining Goods by false
pretences, which charge was settled,
and the other by the said Thomas Me-
Lennan. with the fraudulent appropria-
tion of money, and on which last men-
tioned charge he was sent up for trial -
to the next criminal court of competent
jurisdiction.
4. He improperly and corruptly dis-
missed one Benjamin Fralick, as Clerk
of the Fourth Division Court for the
said County, and appointed the peti-
tioner against the said. Benjamin Fra -
lick, one Alexan-der Hunter who was
also then a large creditor of the said
Judge, to the aidoffice of Clerk.
5. He improperly, knowingly and cor-
7uptly permitted one Wharton Hodgson,
then a bailiff of the fifth Division Court
for the said county, and • who had be-
come a surety for 4 loan of $500 by one
Coombs to the said Judge, after his said
appointment, to sell his office of bailiff
to one Ellis for a sum sufficient to M-
cleranify him, the said Wharton Hodg-
son, against his liability as such surety
for the said loan. and the note given
therefor was, after the confirmation of
the resignation of the said Wharton
Hodgson as such bailiff and the ap-
pointment of the said Ellis as his sue-
cessor by the said Judge, paid by the •
legal representative of the said Whar-
ton Hodgson who had meantime died,
and the said Judge has not since paid
the same.
. 6. In the autumn of the year 1877 the
said Judge obtained possession of a sum
of money amounting to $64, the pro-
perty of one Benjamin Fralick, under
circumstances which amounts to the
criminal offence of larceny, and he re-
tained the same until criminal proceed-
ings were on the eve of being taken
against him therefor, when the claim
was paid, together with a considerable
sum for the Clerk after said County
Court actors for the said Judge.
7. On the trial of Michael Hogan
upon a criminal charge before the_said
Judge, he improperly and fraudulently
allowed the said Daniel McDonald,
Clerk of said County Court, the stun
of $8 witness fees for procuring some
documents in the official charge of the
said Clerk. The repayment of these
fees was refused by the Government,
and the County of Huron therefore lost
the amount.
8. At the voters' lists courts for the
townships of Usbome and Stephen, held
in the autumn of 1878, the said Judge
refused to obtain the clerks of the said
Com ts their fees for serving notices u -
the said Wharton Hodgson, although
;i
less they would divide the same wi la
he had. performed no feat after the ser-
vices, and the said clerks were obliged -
to pay, and did pay, the said Hodgs0:
one-half of the amount allowed thein I
for such fees.
9. The said Judge has for some years
now last past been, and still is, in the
frequent habit of indulgence in intoxi-
cating liquors to an extent which
makes him incapable of controlling
himself, and utterly unfits him for his
judicial tunctions, and he was unfit be-
cause and is an habitual and confirmed
drunkard.
10. From the said Judge's habits aiiid
conduct since his appointment and his
financial enabarrassment, he is stron ly .
suspected of being frequently moved y
improper motives in his discharge of is
judicial duties, and whether the charge
is correct or not, it is beyond. question
that the county over which he is called
to preside judicially has long since lest
all confidence in him as an upright and
capable Judge, and he is'usually spoken
of contemptuously both by litigants and
the legal profession, whereby his useful -
