JUSTICES JUSTICE.
(To the Editor of the Patka Mail.) Sir, —Allow me through the medium of your paper to point out to' the public how different persons were treated in the li.M. Court, Carlyle, last week. In the ease of a laborer, who had to employ a man to do his work, viz., carting metal on the road, he was allowed a half day’s wages only, the lI.M. saying he would have time to return and do a half day’s work. In the case of a settler appearing as a witness, the R.M. suggested half a day’s allowance would be sufficient, viz., five shillings. In the Harbor Petition case he allowed a guinea to G-. P. Sherwood for attending, that being the amount allowed to gentlemen. Query—Does he come under that heading? and why could not the lI.M. treat him in the same way as the laborer? —I am &c., OBSERVER.
