IL SOL LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25. TIMM have been wild rumours of late in the air of a sweeping change in the administration of local justice tiroughoid the country. The Loan CHANCRLLOR, foe whose prodigious seal and courage a seemed reform of the Bankruptcy Law is sup posed to be an insufficient outlet, is said to be contemplating a Bill for the appointment of Sti pendiary Magistrates to do the work which is now all too cheaply performed by county lost. and squires, by bustling parsons of legal testes, and by other miscellaneous persons bora to greatness, or upon whom greatness has been east by circum stances, or who have achieved it ; by persona who ' have been reared in leisure and fortune, or who have risen from business to ease, and climbed per haps from the counter to the judgment-seat, or have otherwise obliterated a humble but respectable origin by small profits and quick returns, and have found time to forget the strict attention which their immediate ancestors so successfully paid to the ledger and the till. Business in boroughs, and land in counties, are our chief magisterial qualifi cations; only in these levelling days,when so many of the old families have gone the way of their eldest sons, the new magistrate is apt to be a gentleman of gourd-like growth, who has bought his ancestors with the plate and fixtures, and squatted on the soil, a Nobody full-blown. Pro bably, however, such a man is an acqeisition to the county ; he can afford to keep up an establish ment and to entertain ; in any sees he has farina and coverts, and is the natural dispenser of the terrors or consolations of the law to hinds and poachers. Can it be now, when in England at least the good old Conservative spirit runs so high against utilitarian innovations, that any govern ment out of pure Inatome., of mischief, for want of work to do, can dream of replacing a system of administering primary justice in its rudest and simplest forms through magistrates whose easy cir cumstanoes make them impartial, and whose total ignorance of law preserves them from prejudice, by a paid professional judicature knowing something of law and justice, but nothing of the neighbour hood I Few things, we imagine, strike a foreign student of English institutions more then our unpaid Justices of the Peace. There is found one of those noble landmarks of a pest age, one of those venerable relics of a feudal society which we show our wisdom by respecting, es we cling to other fundamental anomalies which distinguish us from other lees favoured States, and make us the envy and admiration of the world. Happily, indeed, our local magistracy has resisted all the efforts of time and change, of ridicule and ribaldry, with calm and confident tenacity. "Justice's " Justice " is a sorry joke that has fairly worn itself out. Instances of award decisions and monstrous sentences follow each other at no dis tant intervals, and are lost in the corners of local newspapers. For some years past the outcry against county magisterial benches, which are not even what they pretend to be—composed of gen tlemen of family and estate—has almost ceased to be heard ; and as to the borough justices, perhaps they represent now-adays the very class who would have cried out against the county justices thirty years ago. In fairness, too, both to county sod borough justices, it may be said that, on the whole, thanks to the honest common sense which nature hes implanted in them as Englishmen, and to the sagacity and firmness of their Clerks, they do not commit half the enormities that might be expected, and only now and then are betrayed into glazing folly or unrighteousness. But the best of country gentlemen, whether real or fac titious, have their besetting weaknesses, and so have borough Justices, though of another kind ; and these weaknesses being for the most part unchecked by any legal doubts, except those which their Clerk supplies, occasions/1y break out in very strange aberrations. Take the latest instance : the recent outrage on Mr. ASHWORTH at Shrewsbury is one that would not have been attempted by the most audacious swindler if a magistrate tolerably familiar with the rules and forms of eeideses, and accus tomed to cruse-examlnation, had been sitting on the bench. Doubtless the Shrewsbury Bench are not to blame for not accepting off-hand without further proof the asseverations of the innocent gentleman who stood in the dock before them ; but would even the son of an in spector of police and an ex-assistant megistratee clerk have ventured to face with such a story and such a warrant any bench a little more legal minded than the one which was advised on by their recommended tite government to enter at once upon the path of large financial reform, in order to save the state from • catastrophe. The budget of 1966, proposed only insignificant reforms. Besides, the Minister of Finances had of his own authority diverted from their destination the sums applicable to the sinking fund. The discontent of the Chamber weal at first directed against M. de Planer, who maintaised that this transfer was simply a financial operation, which did not Dome within the control of the legislature. M. de Planer went further, and said that if the chamber rased a hostile vote, be should not feel himself bound by it. The committee of finance took the minister at his word, and • formal proposition, leaking for an investigation into the declarations of the minister, was laid on the table by K Giskra. The controversy on the reductions of the budget has, however, suddenly taken a more favourable tutu. The budget committee, impatient at the hesitation of the minister to perform the promises held forth in the speech from the throne, proposed a round reduction of 95,000,000 fr. in the budget of 1866, leaving it to the ministers to divide the re duction amongst their several departments. This measure especially affected the war budget, and rendered a disarmament on a large scale necessary. The Chamber regards this disarmament, which the pacific language of the speech from the throne seemed to justify, sa the only guarantee for the policy of conciliation announced by the government, and for resisting the temptations to a contrary course held out to Austria by her German ally. The Em peror, it is said, insisted that the legitimate wishes of the Chamber should be carried out, and a Vienna telegram announces that the government, in order to avert the storm, sent a message to the President of the Chamber stating that they would accept the proposal of IL de Vrinta for the :ethic ' lion in glob° of 36,000,000 fr.

PAWS, TuuDAT Emilia. The opposition has achieved an immense triumph in the Charente LlM:nate. M. Paul Bethmont is returned by 13,278 votes against 9,138 given to the government candidate, M. Leclerc. It was in vain that the prefect sent circulars to the schoolmasters. telling them that, as "functionaries," it was their duty to use all their influence to return M. Leclerc; it was in vain that the Port-Admiral Larne'', for getting that by the French law the vote is "essen tially secret," told the dock labourers that he meant to vote for M. Leclerc, and exhorted them to do the same ; it was in vain that contrary to almost invariable usage, two fresh candidates were started at the second ballot in the hope of splitting votes ; almost all the 5,000 electors who • fortnight before had voted for K. Gabiou, a man who was only not a government candidate because be could not get the patronage of the prefect, passed over to M. Bethmont, thereby showing that, irre spective of persons, they desired to vote in oppo sition. The leaden of the liberal party in Paris are overjoyed at this result, which they scarcely timed to expect. The interest in the extraordinary case of Maurice Roux v. Armand is revived by the judge advocate of the Court of Grenoble, which was selected by the Court of Caseation for the new trial, having expressed his opinion that M. Armand did commit an assault upon his servant in the cellar, and ought to pay him damages. Public opinion was altogether the other way. Ever since the successful pleading of MM. Jules Fevre and Lachaud before the jury at Aix, it has been taken for grunted that Maurice Roux was a daring impostor who bound himself with cords, and draw ing them tighter than he had intended, nearly killed himself, his object being from the first to ex tort money from his master, who is • wealthy man, by pretending that the latter had attempted to murder him. Armand pleaded an alibi, and maintained that he was never in the cellar with the man at all. The verdict of the jury is in law oonclusive that he committed no cri minal assault. But the judges of the court of Aix were of opinion that he did really injure his servant, and iu order not to clash with the verdict of the jury, which they had no power to impugn, they introduced into their judgment the extraordinary and absurd allegation that Armand had struck a blow inadvertently or awkwardly (neoladroitersiestt). The Court of Cas eation, while fully admitting the undoubted law that a man may be civilly responsible for the material fact of au assault, although acquitted by a jury of any assault of a criminal nature, was of opinion that the judgment of the court of Aix did not sufficiently show that it was not in conflict with the unimpeachable verdict, and therefore ordered a new trial. At the trial M. Jules Fevre, for the defendant, argued in substance that in the particular case it would be impossible fairly and con scientiously so to word a judgment against Ar mand as not necessarily to imply that the jury which acquitted hint was wrong. He solemnly adjured the court to uphold trial by jury, and not to presume from any esprit de Corps to set up their judgment as magistrates against that of the legal and constitutional tribunal ; but at the same time he confidently repeated that, as a matter of fact, his client was wholly innocent, and Mantis° Roux an impostor. He admitted what everybody must sae, that if be ever so much as laid a finger on him at all, be must also have bound him with the cords, locked him up in the cellar, and left him there to die. M. °fraud, the bttonnier of the Grenoble bar, argued Roux's cam with very great ability and confidence, and insisted greatly upon a certificate of three medical men, which, strange to say, was not produced at the trial, affirming that Ronx had the marks of a blow at the back of his neck which could not have been produced by the cords. It must be stated, however, that one of these doctors, in his Men rocs examination, gave evidence inconsistent with the certificate' which he bad .22172 &Milos 10.431 27 SAW. ~.... S. 11.11.

Ate strong point of M. Gimlets (which, , was fully submitted to the jury) erni that Roux was looked up in the cellar, and the key was not found inside. The most minute marches had been made without success, sad the iron bars of the miler window were too close together to allow the key, which wash lino one, being passed through them. In reply to this point, M. Jules Fevre was driven to con jeeture that Roux must have had an aseoesplice, who locked him in and took the keyaway. There was some evidence that two suspicious people had paid a visit to Roux on the day of the event. The Judge-Advocate, a K Mas, who wee taken ill while speaking, and obliged to rest for a quarter of an hour, delivered his opinion that K Armand, who was a viojent man, and bad used his cane to somata before, had really struck his servant a blow, and that for this blow the court could and ought without controverting the verdict of the jury to award damages. Judgment will be given next week. It is said that when M.
