I trust early opportnnity will be taken to oigatiile steps to iodnee the, Government to remove from the Thames Bench a man who^is bringing—in my opinion— into contempt the Court over which he |>reffides. Os» a former occasion, when I, ib eoojunction with others, took steps for his rapova) to a more suitable ejimate, perhaps his ignorance or his prejudices were^nfit so well known as at present, and tint taiy have- accotrnted for the action taken by,some to have,him retained; but I think the time hat jnow come when all ■rest be satisfied that, he is wholly unsuited lor. the position into which one nnfort«m)te Icircumstance thrust him.—l am,&e.,^ .
