NEN Benxswrox legislators have level
heads on one subjectsat least, viz., the
compuleory use of wide tired wagons,
Any wagon oapeble of hauling one ton or
over must have tires at least 4 inches
wide, ea says the official Gazette. This
is as it should be, and is right hi line
with euggeeted improvements of the
highway. There is many a fairly goad
road that is rendered next to impassable
by the great ruts cot by the narrow tires.
Ontario might profitably take a leaf out
of New Brunewiok'e book in this import.

Ceenty boundaries should not be inter.
fared with, neither should munioipalities
be subdivided. By the way, Hon. Mr.
Hardy has a few constituencies in which
the divisional line outs municipalities in
twain thee should also be joined. It
makes a much more satisfactory arrange-
ment of affairs. The Gerrymander is a
dangerous weapon to fool with excepting
in the hands of fair and square man,
which we expect the present Government
will prove themselves to be in dealing
with the coming Bill,
Mn. WHITNEY, leader of the Opposition
foroee in the Ontario Legislature, is to
be banquetted in Toronto, A banquet is
a nice thing, but at $4.00 a tioket, plus
railway fare, hotel aaoommodation and
lose of time foots up to shah a figure
that the average country editor has to
usually content himself with plainer fare
at home. Iii a well it is so, for the
spread le certainly too rich for the blood
of the ordinary mortal, and as to the
"taffy party" usually following the
sapper, we can get that nearer hand by
calling at a oandy store. We're not
moll stook on banquets, and those who
nit them oat rarely see their bed before
1 or 2 in the morning, and often are nob
in [shape to see it then.
Moan than one of the Judges sitting at
the recent election protest Courts have
expressed their disapproval of the "saw.
off" buslneee, and purpose calling the at•
tention of the Legislature to it. That's
right. If a man is guilty of corrupt
praotioee, be he Grit or Tory, he has a
right to be bounced, and if there was
little or ne foundation for the ohargee,
the plaintiffs should not be allowed to
withdraw their 81,000 deposit. It looks
very much like winking at Justine, and
the worst feature about it ie that often
the Exeoutfve of the aonetitaeney inter•

ANornsn judgment wee rendered by
Judge Curran at Montreal lou Friday in
aonueotion with the sale of liquor on the
day of the plebiscite vote. This was in
the ease of Timmins vs. }Inman, action
taken in behalf of the Citizens' League
for iofriugeneut of the law governing the
liquor traffics on election days. The
notion was m et with a demurrer to the
effect that section 83 of the Dominion
Eleebione Act did not apply to the Plebia•
cite Act under the terms of article 6 of
the last mentioned statute. The court
held, however, that the Election Act did
apply, and consequently rejected the de -
Marker.
Chancery Court.
The Pall session of the Chancery See•
sion of the High Court of Justice opened
on Monday, of last week, before Chief
Justice Meredith. There were a number
of cases set down for trial, consequently
there was a large attendance of witnesses,
and a full representation of the legal
fraternity.
The first case heard was that of Pink.
ney vs. Watson, an action o0 an assign
ment of a life insurance policy. It
appeared from the evidence that Pinkney
had deposited the policy as seourity for a
loan, and that on the death of the loaner,
his heirs claimed the whole policy, though
the sum advanced was considerably Less.
The Chief Justice gave judgment for
plaintiff, but allowed defendant the
amount advanced thereon. F. Holme-
sted and R. H. Collins appeared for
plaintiff, and R. S. Hays and J. T. Garrow,
Q. 0. for defendant.
Blake et el vs. Jarvis et al, an action to
recover the value of utensils left in a
brewery, was concluded on Tuesday
morning, and then at the suggestion of
His Lordship, the parties to the suit tried
to settle the matter, The parties how-
ever could not agree, and the judge re
served judgment. Garrow and Proud.
foot for plaintiffs, E. Campion for de•
fendants.
Howe vs. Ronald, an notion to deter•
mine the ownership of a property in Brus•
sets, was oonoluded on Tuesday afternoon,
when His Lordship dismissed it without
costs, and without adjudicating upon the
rights of the parties. E. L. Dickenson
for plaintiff, J. T. Garrow and W. M.
Sinolair for defendant.
Jacklin vs. Proudlove, an action to set
aside as fraudulent conveyance of lands,
was heard on Tuesday, and dismissed
without costs. E. L. Dickenson for
plaintiff, Morphy and Carthew for de-
fendant.
Fowler vs. Rion, et al, an action to estab•
Bah a right of way over land in the town-
ship of Howiok, was not concluded when
the court rose at 5 o'olook on Tuesday.
On the court re•assembliug, the case
was continued to eleven p. m., and oo•
copied the forenoon on Wednesday, and
at the conclusion His Lordship reserved
judgment, Garrow and Proudfoot for
plaintiff, Hoimested and Collins for de-
fendant.
