The Court having been formally opened, Colonel
Sriwww (tbe chairman), in company with the other
magistrates present, rose and said: Before the business of
Lb. day commenced he wished to refer to the heavy and
irreparable loss which the Bench had sustained in the
decease of Mr. Williams. He had presided over them for
many years, and upon every occarion it had been with
honour to himself and to tbe advantage of the public at
large. His great knowledge of the Law, although be had
not been brought up to the profession, rendered him •
valuable acquisition to LW Bench, and one which would
not be easily filled. As a private friend he was all that
one could wish, am!, although that. perhaps, might not he
the place to ape tic a it, yet he cold wit help alluding t
• loss which he personally felt with very deep regret. (The
salient colonel appeared deeply affected duzing the delivery
