JUDGES AND THE ASSIZES The Owen Sound Sun thinks wo were rather severe on Ju.stice Robert- sou i^ our arliclu on this subject two weeks ago. Ihis is not a case in which Justice Robertson is specially singled out. Year after year the same hardship.s exist iu a greaWr or le.sscr â-  degree, but the late occasion has em- phaaized it so strongly that The Ad- vance considered it high time to enter tt strong protest on behalf of the pub- lic. The manner iu whicli thip pro- test has been received shows that wo were correct in our estimate of its importance. The Sun believed with us that the Assizes could be com- uienced ou Monday. That would he a long step in the right direction and we hope it will hi done. At the same lime, why should the judge, as iii the recent lustance, close the businesf. of the court on Friday night ? The Sun says : " As a rule only one week ik set uparl for assize courts outside of the big cities, and if the docket is not finished wlien this period has elapaud. the judge must rcliiru and leavi: il unfinished, his time being laid out for hiia elsewhere." This is not i|nite correct, because a judge has it williin his power to " make arrangemouls " to havu his jjlace supplied and can remain until the docket is cleaiod if he so cliooscK Instance the Napaiieo bank robbjry case now in progress. Since writing the article under discus- sion wo iiave received a private com- luunicati.ou from one of the luosi pKiiiiincul lawyers iu this county, cn- dorsiug in full what we said, and as- SurliiJg tiiat we " point out a serious grievance. " He also believes the •legal piofcBsioii will not think wu were too harsh in our strictures. Judges, lio.vever, aie but human, and while «()iuo coiuo prepared to faciliato and hurry up the business before llieia with energy and care, there are others who appear to De ciironio dyspeptics and who gruuihle and growl and cen- .Bure officials for fancied wrongs, and act the tyrant to such a degree that thoy are simply unbearable. We arc informed of a recent case of this nat- ur<! where a high official was actually betrayed into swearing a great round oath, although a bad word had not cBcaped bis lips for the previous thirty 'years, owing to the absurd de- mands of a judge witii whom nnthing went right. Duiiuess before that court was impeded As the Dundalk Horuld truthfully points out, judges have been elevated beyond criticism, but if this whimsical and seltieh ttpirit £oiiliiiues to develop iu our judiciary It will be necessary to niako their ap- pointment elective or supcranuatc the A)fft;ii(lors, at the same time presenting .theni with a brass medal on which is ^â- iigi'aved the words, " Sic semper tyranniLS," Woqiioto below thenpin- ioiis of a portion of our county press oil this question. Were they all to it'peak we believe there would be prac- tical unanimity. From the Marhlale Statuliird.
