Mr. Justice Colbridge on Drunken-
ness.—During the recent gaol delivery fur
Yorkshire, two young men were convicted
of highway robbery. They received excel
lent characters from several witnesses, and
on the eight of the robbery it appeared that
they, as also the prosecutor, were In • stair
of intoxication. The jury fused them boib
guilty, but recommeded them to gamey 00
seaman of their previous good character,
and because they, as well as the prosecutor
were all drunk at the tune. He Lordship,
adresupg the prisoners, said, " The jury, on
account of your previous good characters,
sod because all the parties were drieik a'
the time, have recommended you to mercy.
must say that the 6nt ground M as ex-
ceedingly good one ; but I think if the jury
bad cuosidered the mischief and crime that
result in this country, u well as in every
other part of England, from the use of
liquor in exee.r, they would hardly hate
considered that u ay extesuatiom of yes{
offeece. True, you would nut perhaps bate
committed this offeece if you were sot in
liquor, but if a mu will commit crime when
drunk, he should take cars mot 10 get drunk..
1 venture to say that, in much more than
half the offences which bate been brought
before the assize, liquor hal bad .omething
do to with. Liquor hes either beeu the
temptation beforebaed to robbery, to get
sometbiag to purchase it, or et s the provo-
cation under the ioflue.co of liquor that
causes them to quarrel, and perha4ps commit
murder ; or it u liquor upon whieb tie
fruits obtained by robbery are generally
spent ; and it'seems to me that, but for the
cases where offences are bought on by the
excessive use of imtoxtcaung liquors, the
courts of justice might be nearly shut up. -
1 am sure that a great deal more than half
the time of criminal courts is taken up in
cowequ.ence of offences what have some-
thing to do with liquor. The first recom-
mendation of the jury I .hall take into con-
sideration, but the second I cannot. . The
laws o. obs country do not allow drunken

ings of wmieb is hereto appended,* ye*
I observe that amongst other things, the
siJeet i• directed to address the Agricul-
torers throughout the Promote in behalf of
tie Assucialion.
You are aware that sn Act incorporating
tits lo.titu'ion has been recently passed,
that under its provisions, two Exhibi-
tions have been bell,—one in Toronto ie
October 1346, and the secood in Hamilton,
in October last. 1t s aloe decided that the
se xi Exhibitios shall be held in Cuboorg,
is the Newcutite District, on the first
'Kneads!, Wednesday, Thursday, and Fri-
dley in October next.
The Pre,o ams awarded at the two for-
mer Exhibitions, amounted to about twelve
beaded puundr ; of this sum, nearly three
hundred pounds remain yet unpaid. The
amount required for Premieres at the next
Imbibition, will fall little short of neves
hundred pomade.
Thus, Gentlemen, you will see that near-
* one thousand pounds will be required fur
the above purpose, and fur rico the Proven•
tial Association are wholly dependent upon
you. ,
An application will be made at the next
Session of the Legislature for a grant hoe
the public funds in aid of ibis important In-
stitution, awl it is confidently dlpected to
be succesdul. But it must be clearly. uo-
derstood that so part u( this can be gut for
ibis year's operations ; and under these cir-
cumstances, the Society must, u on form-
er occasions, appeal to you for the contri-
bution of a num equal to the amount of Pre-
miums to be awarded at the next Eabibi-
tiun.
It is proper that you should be informed
that, in future, all sums of stoney, voted or
otherwise, raised fir this object by the seve-
ral Agrtcu@oral Societies throughout the
Province, thee) be applied solely to the pay -
opera of Preu,iums ; and that the local ex-
penses, fur enclosures, erections of betide
