JUDICIAL DUTIES.
BRITISH TRIBUNALS. (from oue oww cohrespondent.) LONDON, November 16. The Lord Chancellor (Lord Cave), speaking at the Lord Mayor's banquet, said: "Of our tribunals as a whole I can hardly remember a time when it could be said with more truth that tho administration of justice in this country is swift as well as sure. The City of j London has always given steady supi port to the Courts whose duty it is to • enforce contracts, to provide coinpen- ; sation for wrongs, and to punish offences. So long as the duties are performed with the impartiality and independence for which the Judges are famed, so long will tha? support conI tinue. Somo people in tlieso days ! seem to think that there are wrongs | which should remain unredressed ami crimes which should remain unpunished because they are inspired by motives j which are described a.s political. The j law knows no such distinction. (Hear, j hear.) What is wrong is wrong, and should bo condemned and, if need be, atoned. When you try to break in on these rules you will only produce more wrongs, more crime, and more .suffering." | ====== j
