OSGOODE HALL.
THE SEAT OF LAW AND JUSTICE IN ONTARIO.
Of all Toronto's great publio buildings,
Osgood° Hall, the seat) of law in Ontario, is
probably the one leasb known to the great
public thab passes daily its beautiful
grounds. Few venture within ite Old-fash-
iened iron gates, and of the few that do fewer
still have the faintest idea of wlist,goes on
withiu the great grey building. Osgoode
Rail does not welcome strangers, the atmos-
phere within its walls is nob congenial to the
idle totudet, ib is grave and cool, and silent
with an old. world silence that forces respect-
ful quiet on the most boisterous.
And this is as ib should be for Osgoode
Hell is the brain of the mighty machine
that regulates the affairs of this Province
and distributee justice. There is, neverthe-
lose, much to be learned here that every
citizen should know, for the 52 officials and
servants are paid annually out of the publio
puree $55,000. -and over in snlaries, and $15,-
000 more in expenses of maintenance.
This stain which does not inclade the
salaries of the judges, tnainteine , the efficers
of the High Court of Justice and the Courb
of Appeal.
The judges reeve a salary of $54000,
with an additional allowance of $1,000 to
the Chief Justice of each divisions: There
are three divisions in the High Court), au' at
present constituted, the Chancery, King's
Bench and Common Pleas, to each of which
three judgeeare appointed, except the
Chancery Divisioe, which has four, makiog
in all ten judges, or including the Courb of
Appeal, 15. Four of these judges are chiefs
of their respective divisions, makitig the
total expenddture on the judiciary, exolhaive
of the generous travelling allowance to all
judges on circuib, $79,000.
No trials are held in Osgoode Hall; except
on rare oocaeions, and no witnesses appear
before the courts. On appeals the evidence
taken at the trial of the case is handed to
judges in printed or typewritten form for
their consederation, and on the many mo-
tions that come up the evidence all appears
in affidavits, sworn and filed.
COURT OF APPEAL.
The Court of Appeal, the highest court' of
the Province, is composed of five judges,
and before them oomes on appeal almost
every came of importance that arises in On-
tario. The officers of this court are, Registrar,
Mr. J. A. McAndrew. To this office there
is attaohed a salary of $2,000. The Deputy
Registrar, Mr. Charles S. Grant, receives
$1,200. There is also an usher and a secre-
tary to the judges, whose allowances add
another $1,550 to the expenses of this de-
partment.
The Registrar's office of the High Court
has four officers, Mr. George S. Holmsted,
Senior Registrar, salary $2,100; A. F. Mac-
Lean, Junior Registrar, $2,000, and Charles
Strange and A. YnBlain, with $1,200 and
$1,500 egspectively. Two ushers and a
stenographer attached to this office receive
$1,600 in all. These officers are most nearly
connected with the judges of the High
Court in their work. To the two registrars
is entrusted the duty of following the ex-
pressed decisions of the judges and seeing
that the formal judgments signed are in 'm-
ooed therewith.
Somewhab analogous • to the duties of theme
officials are those of the clerk of the weekly
oourt, George M. Lee, and the Clerk in
Chambers, Mr. Fulford Arnoldi.
Two days a week a judge site in Chambers
and three days in court, these two terms
being merely descriptive of his jurisdiction,
as the same court room is occupied. The
.olerk site below the judge to note his decie-
- ion in eaoh me and issue the orders accord-
ingly. Mr. Lee's salary is $1,750 and Mr.
Arnoldihe $1,700.
In court and chambers are heard appeals
from the Master -in -Chambers, an officer
whose duties will be noticed in due course,
and from looal judges in outside county
towns, motions for injunctions, motions to
commit to jail parties Who have been guilty
of contempt by disobeying an order of the
court. A Judge -in -Chambers has also juris-
diction over the moneys of infante in court,
and on his order it is paid out for the main-
tenanoe of the infanb or to him coming of
age. To a Judge -in -Chambers come also
executors and trustees of estates for advice
on management or for the interpretation of
a doubtful °lanes in a will. If this advice
of the court is followed, the trustee is held
free from liability, even though it turns out
to be erroneous. •
CENTRAL OFFICE.
The third important department) is the
°antral office, which is presided over by Mr.
M. B. Jaokson, whom duties, on a salary of
$2,500, are elmost nominal. The real heade
are Mr. Edmund Harley, clerk of records
and writs, who receives $1,500, and Mr.
Alexander McGregor, judgment clerk, $1,-
150.
The clerk of records and write issues, as
hie title would imply, all the writs of sum-
mons by which actions are officially begun.
There are documents under bhe seal of the
oourt calling on the defendant mimed there-
in to appear and defend himself ageinet the
plaintiff's claim, Some 1,700 of these writs
are issued every year. In this office also
are filed the Statements of claim and of de-
fenoe, and the affidavit in every action and
all writs of Fi. Fa. empowering the sheriff
to seize a judgment debtor's goods are issued.
Besides a properly indexed record of the
proceedings in every aotion is kept.
The judgment clerk must revise and
sign every judgment that is issued in Tor-
onto, and his duties are of a very responsible
nature, as in all oases_ where the defend-
ant does not see fib to appear and
defend a suit, hie is the hand which throws
open the door and allows the sheriff to seize
the debtor'a goods and land.
The Master -in -Chambers holds coed
every day in hie office to deoide the minor
points which arise constantly in the course
of every contested action, and hears and
decides applications for security for costa,
to dismiss actions for want of prosecution,
to compel parties to attend for examination,
Is also empowered in meny oases bo de-
liver final judgment between the parties.
His duties are probably more arduous than
those of any other officer in, the Hall.
The present Master is Mr. James S. Cart-
wright, former Registrar of the Court of
Appeal. His salary is $3,400. His clerk,
Mr. Clarence Bell, receives $1,000.
MASTER -IN -ORDINARY.
To the Master -in -Ordinary, Mr. Thomas
Hodgine, K. C., are referred all winding up
matters of companiee and estates. t He takes
the aocounte and supervises the 'division of
the assets. The salary attached to thio
office is $4,000. The Master's clerk, Mr.
Bastedo, receives $1,300.
&he Accountant's office has control of all
funds in the custody of the court) belonging
to infanta, estates and suitors, and this
money is reckoned by millions. There are
in thin offioe five clerks besides the Chief
Accountant, Mr. B. W. Murray. The sal-
aries in this office are paid out of a special
fund, and do not appear in the total men-
tioned at the head of thin article.
Nexb come the taxing officers, Messrs.
Thom and MacNemara, whose duties are to
revise the bills of costs brought in by the
solicitors cf successful libigants who have
been allowed bheir costs against their adver-
saries. These officers musb eee that no im-
proper items are charged in the bills and
the suitor gets only his legal rtghts. The
senior taxing officer, Mr. Thom, reoeives
$2.150 and the junior, $1,,700.
There is also the inspector of legal offices,
Mr. J. W. Mallon, who receives $2,100 and
a travelling allowance, and his clerk, Capt.
Grant, who receives $1,100.
The land titles office is in Osgoode Hall,
although hardly connected with the Admin-
istration of justice. The Master of Titlee
reoeives $3,000 and the three clerks, $2,-
650.
The Surrogate office hes charge of all the
Surrogate courts throughout the Province,
and receives and filen all the wills admitted
to probate in Ontario. The clerk, Mr.
Charles McCabe, receives $2,000 and_ hie as-
sistant 8800.
One other office remains, Mr. A. E.
Dow, Clerk of the Precool, wibh a salary of
$1,400, but the duties of this office have
been practically aboliehed for some time,
leaving only the incumbent and a litble
used office.
Such are the officials who inhabit Osgoode
Hall and their duties. Only a few minor
servants, housekeepers and messengers have
been omitted from thie category.
The hours of attendance are not long.
From ten to four is the rule, and in the
summer vacation, for two months, and
Christmas for two weeks, from 10 to 12. e
Pen Pictures.
The following pen pictures of some of the
leading members of the Ontario Legislature
are given in a recent' leading article in bhe
Toronto News, and are, no doubt, from the
graceful pen of Mr. J. S. Willinon the man-
aging editor :
For the first time in perhaps a quarter of
a century the Liberal party_ cannot claim
the absolute ascendancy in debate in the
Legislature. There is ralier a fair balance
of strength and some s rong debaters on
both sides of the Chamber. This was parti-
cularly manifest in the dieoussion on the re-
port of the Royal Commission. Here the
attack was certainly stronger than the de-
fence. This was also true of the debate
upon the reference of Mr. Gamey's charges
to the Commission.
Mr. Ross, of course, still stands without a
peenamong the debaters of, the Assembly.
It is doubtful, indeed, if the average
performance of Mr. Ross on the platform
and in Parliament is equalled by any other
man in Canada. Sir Wilfrid Laurier's
greatest speeches may, perhaps, rank higher
in grace and finish than the beet perform-
ances of Mr. Roes, but neither in the aver-
age quality of his speeches nor in the range
of subjeots which he covers does he oubolase
the Provincial Premier. Mr. Whitney, also,
haa become a strong debater. Bab his
speeohes suggest lack of preparation, and
sometimes the note of denunciation is too
shrill and Insistent. His speech on the re-
port of the Royal Commission was, however,
a pcitverfhl deliverance -and many of his
platform addresses are thoroughly effeotive.
He grows in the public mind as a man of
honeab purpose and strict rectitude, and of
unusual independence of character. He may
be far from office, but in face of his proved
integrity, and in consideration of hie present
support in the Legislature, it is absurd to
exalt the old notion that only the Liberal
party may be safely entrusted with the
business oftiGovernment in this Province.
Mr. Gib on, the Attorney -General, was
alwaye an able and effective debater in
the Legislature, although lees acceptable on
the platform, and to -day, probably, no man
carries as much weight in the Chamber as
the Attorney -General. Hardly leas may be
said for Mr. Foy, Mr. Whitney's first assist-
ant. He is careful, methodical, judicial and
high -Minded. Hie method, manner and
character give great weight to all that he
says on any subject which he ventures to
discuss. Mr. Graham, of Brockville, and
Mr. Pattulle, of Oxford, are first rate de-
baters, and likely to go far in public life.
Mr. Pattullo is, perhaps, the better parlia-
mentary speaker, and Mr. Graham the
stronger on the platform. The member
for Brookville has, besides, an attraotive
personality, and a genuine popularityin the
House and in the country. Mr. Preeton, of
South Brant, is an excellent debater and a
representative of a high type. Mr. Conmee
has great native talent, and despite' hie bluff
manner and homely speech, he is a kehn and
powerful speaker. It is doubtful if there is
a man on either side of the Chamber who
can present a case with more force or with°
greater -effeot, Mr. Harcourb speaks seldom,
but, as all the Province knows, he is an ex-
cellent debater and a finished platform
speaker. Mr. Dryden never seems to have
taken the first place in debate in the Legis-
lature, although he is unquestionably one of
the veery best platform speakers in Ontario.
As ffitieter of Agriculture, however, he
could hardly be replaced. Very few, in-
deed, have any adequate conception of what
John Dryden has done for agriculture in
this Province. Somehow or other he never
seems to receive quite all the recognition
and supporb which he deserves.'
Among Oppositionists, Mr. Lucas'of
Centre prey, takes high rank as a speaker.
He is clear, analytical, logical and straight-
forward, and perhaps no better speeches
than hie have been made in the House this
session. Mr. Hanna, of West Lambton,
must also be recognized as a foreible and
argumentative speaker, faithful to hie par-
liamentary duties, and with a sound grasp
of Provinoial affairs. Mr. Hendrie, of Ham-
ilton, hi not a speaker, but hie influence in
the councils of the Opposition counts for a
good deal, and there is DO finer type of rep-
ro= entative in the Legislature. Mr. Cars -
(Allen, of the same city, with all his gifts of
orabory, barely maintains his ground, and
probably has net quite met expectations.
Mr. St. John steadily improves, and during
this session has made some really strong
contributions to the debates. Mr. Downey's
(Wellinpton) first session marks him oat for
exceptional distinctions as a debater and a
legielator.
Upon the whole therefore, the seventh
Parliament of Ontario is by no means weak
In forensic talent, and in debate as in char -
rioter, and in oapaciby, the Minieterialists are
quite matched by their opponents. This is
as it should be. It is essential to good gov-
ernment that} we ehould get rid of the notion
that only one of the parties is equal to the
management of Provincial affaire. The long
ascendancy of Sir JohnMacclonald at Ottawa
bred the notion in many minds that the
Liberal party had neither genius or capacity
for government. But the work of that party
since 1896 has shown that Canadian Liber-
als are just as patriotic. and just as well fit-
ted to govern the country as are Canadian
Conservatives, So the long ascendancy of
Sir Oliver Mowat in Ontario gave some en-
couragement to the idea that Liberals were
the natural rulers of this Province. This
view has been widely entertained, notwith-
standing that the Government of John
Sandfield Macdonald wail probably just as
honest and efficient as that of Sir Oliver

Mowat, and notwithstanding -that Sir Wm.
Meredith was a singnlarly capable and in-
corruptible public servant. Setting aside
the deplorable election scandals of recent
yearn Ontario has received careful, econom-
ical and efficient government from the Lib-
eral party, but this does nob necessarily, lead
to the conolusioe thab the Liberal party
must hold office in Ontario forever, and that
Conservatives are unequal to the intelligent
and satisfactory management of Provincial
affairs.

-The cost of the proposed transcontinent-
al railway, to be constructed by the Domin-
ion Government and the Grand Trunk
Pacific Company, will, it is estimated, be
about $100,000,000. Of this sum the sec-
tion to be built by the Government will in-
volve an °atilt) of about $45,000,000. The
expenditure upon construction by the Grand
Trunk will be about $55,000,000 and in ad-.
dition about $25,000,000 will be required
for equipment and terminals. The total
cost is therefore likely to approximate $125,-
000,000. The cost to the Grand (Prank of
constructing the prairie section will be
ab least $30,000 a mile. In the mountain
section it will approach $50,000 a mile. The
roadbed and equipment will be of the most
substantial, with 80 -pound steel raile,
massive bridges and embankmentri and stone
culverts.
