bask, and very nearly rode over him. upon wkich he
laid hold of tbe horse, and told the man he would have

WARNING JOHNSEN ON COURT LglfT. —To Mg Editor.
Sir,—The annual court of the manor of J. H. Calcnift,
Esq., was duly held at the lied Lion Hotel, on Frudoy
last, I myself being one of the jurymen. My reason in
troubling you to insert this in your paper is to complain
of the unfairness of bein: regularly warned upon the
annual Session and Court beet Juries. whilst there are
so so soy moo quite is sspable of acting as myself
never called upon to attend either one. As for instance
throe of the most ospahle wen appointed on Friday were
not on the jury, bot I was pleased to see that the fore.
man at once ordered the Town• Sergent to warn them.
This seems a step in the right direction—showing that
the Sergeant has it not entirely in his power to aummon
just those whom he chows*, and that it as not by favour
with him that gets one appointed. Now Sir, private
differences .hould not be allowed to interfere with public
business, and for the future 1 hope we shall see mms
indiscriminately chosen, without regard to his personal
feeling, towards them.—l remain, Sir, yours respect.
