JUDGE HARVEY'S RETIREMENT.
[PBB PEBBB ASSOCIATION SPBOIAIi WIBB.] INVEROARGILL, October 19.
At the District Court, business of the sitting having been concluded, Mr T. M. MacDonald, on behalf of the Bar, expressed regret at the fact that Judge Harvey would shortly cease to hold the judicial office he had filled for so many years, and conveyed to his Honor the warmest acknowledgments of the Bar for his uniform kindness and courtesy, and his readiness to meet the publio convenience. Judge Harvey, after expressing the pleasure it afforded him to hear the uentiments of the Bar, as they had been expressed, went on to say—" I retire with great regret from the Bench. I may say that it is a blow to me, as I shall hava to take up the cudgels once more and start again in the praotice of my profession. Whether I may succeed in it or not is entirely in the womb of time, but after being away from practice for so many years I will necessarily start again under great disadvantage. In this matter 1 cannot help feeling that I have not been treated with that consideration with which an officer of my standing ought to be treated and is entitled to receive. It may be that some other arrangements may yet be made. I hope I may again appear among you, but I do not at present see muoh probability of that."
