APPOINTMENT OF MAGISTRATE&
To titt &Won

Sri.—! have notiaid • letter in the Borounioink
Vinton' Directory of Saturday subscribed " Looker-
on. " I don't care to discuss the personal qualifications
of those who are added to • very full commiinion ; all
I desire to do is to protest against the idea of your
correspondent that the practice of Whig and Tory
Chanoellors has been alike. At one time the
WWI to receive .aPPliestions through the
practice
when this rule was relexed, the course
wee to represent to the Council that the names of
certain gentlemen had bees submitted to the Chan-
roller—l believe usually by the member of Parliament
—and desiring to know U the Council took exception
to any one. Now the Council is simply informed
when the act is completed.
By whom the Lord Chancellor is inspired does not
appear, but in the present instance, U report speaks
truly, would seem to require explanation—why
applications should have been made to gentlemen not
appointed for leave to add their names, and this being
assented to, why others, in MOON instances Probably
not asked, are appointed?
The inference is that the inspiration mast have
come from two different eourcesi, and we are all at
liberty to form our own surmises.
