THE ASSESSMENT COURT.

The Board of .Reviewers sat yesterday, j and as might have been expected, the :. attendance of the public and objectors was very limited. Out : .yf. the yyhp'e... number of (vises called, connected with the' Manchester "Block, two only anj-eare.i —Mr ;<!iCAi;,!ii-K -in.i MrCHAMB£KL,Ai:.\ When ivir Cu ami? Kiii.Afs w.-is be: rii; examined as (>.i hi- !rji:ciion>, ; h<: poi.uted out to the ehairiiif.n that ; f i' had not been for the coxunn-nis of the tab in its last issue, on the want of publicity given i to the sitting of the -Court by not advertising in the local journal, he would not have been aware of the sitting of the .Court. In reply the Chairman said that if Mr CaAMBEBLAiN had attended at the sitting of (he Court held- at Palmerston. as it was his duty to have done, he would have been made aware that the Court was adjourned to Feilding There was no necessity for such adjournment being ! advertised at all. If the Chairman understood wh.it he was saying, he ceriainly pays a poor compliment to his own common sense, for his remarks really amount to a condemnation of his action in advertising the sitting of the adjourned Court in the Marton and Palmerston papers. If there was no need to advertise, why in the name of common sense do so ? It seems to us tl>at the Chairman has made a mistake, and does not know how to reciify it, and he now feels that he ought to havo advertised in the journal circulating among the persons whose presence was required afc the sitting of the Court, and he has not the courage to acknowledge bis error, but he should remember Nemo morlalium omnibus Jwris sapil.
