A public wrung has been committed, and I trust to His Kxcrllaney the Gore,-nor and ids adcisers to redress that wrong by reimbursing Hr B the amount he. ic.f raw’cied: andfurthermore in re,noring the \ worthy who sat upon the Bench at Wai/mra on that ocras'-on. Three is a coterie and a masonic j feeling existiay inland here amongst those “ dress'd in a tittle brief authority ” ; and I trust it wilt be very brief for the pent toman who tried the case of asindt above referred to. Any impartial person vid admit {hat their names ought to hare been reversed, if then rend the particulars published in your is me of t.he l>th April. ] ! strifes m". Sir, that J.P.’s are made in this Colony fern: the interest the individual possesses I icdh Ik-' pawns /d may be, and seldom whether \the gentin,nen arc of that temperament to sit in \ judgment on their fellow-men. Thank God the judges and in wist rates are not so appointed in Enplane!. There is too much lug-rolling, as the Yankees hare d, in A etc Zealand.
