TIIE SITUATION OF STIPENDIARY MAGIsTRATE AT
Ltvtaroot. is vacant by the death of Mr. Edward Rushton,
wbo has filled that office since 11439, and who, previous to
that time, was known as a very active politician during the
liberal struggles of previous years. 3lr. Itusliton's salary
was 1,6001. • year; but it is understood that the Borough
Council of Liverpool, which possesses by the act the power
of settling the number of justices as well as the salaries
paid to those officers, will recommend the appointment of
two justices instead of one, whose united salaries will be !
2,9001. a year. This would certainly be an improvement.
The borough property is large, and the council pas-
SOWS ample funds, which could not be better employed
than in applying an additional ON. per annum to
the more effective admine.tration of justice. The business
of the police court is too much for any one man, and it was
with great difficulty that Mr. Rushton was able to keep it
down, with all his indomitable energy and his great local
knowledge of the place of which lie was a native. We
would be glad to see the system of stipendiary magistrates
—men learned in the law, and free from local prejudice and
influences—exteudcd throughout the other great towns,
and in time even throughout the country. Amongst other
advantages, they are known to exercise a most useful and
salutary control over the police, which is seldom obtained
by the local magistracy.—Obsercer.
MOORFIELDS IN CHARLES lI.'S TIME.—" The New
Help to Discourse," published about 1670, says Two
gentlemen of Stepney going homewards over Moorfields,
about twelve o'clock at night, were staid by an impertinent
constable with many frivolous questions, more by half to
show his office than his wit; one whereof was, If the
were not afraid to go home at that time of the night ?'
They answered No. • Well,' said he, ' I shall let you
pass at this time ; but if you should be knockt on the head
before you get home, you cannot but report that there was
a good watch kept in Muothelils.' "—Notes and Queries.
