A. HUNT FOR A MAGISTRATE

THE SnoxE NutsA/way—Yesterday, Mr. Colborne,
the proprietor of the steamer plying between the stage,
Egremont, and New Brighton, was summoned before
Mr. Sands, at the suit of the Health Committee, by
Inspector, Wignall, under the Smoke Nuisance Act.
Mr. McGowan appeared for the prosecution. The
defendant was summoned for twelve o'clock, and at
half-past twelve he addressed .Mr. Sands, the presidiog
magistrate, and asked if ' there was any chance of a
second magistratO—he had now waited hair-an-hour,
and as time was of vast advantage to him, he wished to
know if a second magistrate could be had or if not, to
adjourn the case to a future day. He had been stun-
moned once before, and kept waiting two hours for a
sedond magistrate, and yet one did not come, and the
case was ultimately adjourned for the non-attendance of
a second justice. Mr. IVybergh said the officer of the
court was now out for half-an-hour 'coking for a second
magistrate, but he had not 3.-et returned, so that
he supposed he was not successful. Mr. Sands
said. he was very sorry for it, but he really could
not help it. He would adjourn the case at once,
if Mr. Colborne wished it. Mr. Colborne said he did
wish it, as time was of the deepest value to him. He
was engaged in a matter just now, which compelled him
to send two telegraph messages to London just now in
reference to it, and that would prove the importance of
time to him. Mr. McGowan said, rerhaps Mr. Col-
borne would wait five minutes, when, perhaps, a magi-

The fact is, rthink no magistrate wisiies to come here,
as it is, no doubt, very disagreeable for them 'to .sit
adjudicating in cases which they considere,d as persecn-
:tioni. The case was then. adjourned for a week. Just,
however, as Mr. Colborne left the Court, Mr. George
Holt entered, and took his seat on the bench along with
Mr. Sands, and proceeded to dispose of such cases as
came before them.

On Tuesday last the annual meeting of the above
flourishing society was held, but the morning was
exceedingly unfavourable, which prevented the attend-

ceased, and the little village presented a very animated
appearance ; the three public-houses being bs.seiged by
the gentry and farmers of the district, who required
accommodation for their various. carriages and horses.
All the arrangements appeared to have been made with
the best calculation, cow-sheds, stables, and barns, were
all thrown open, and nothing appeared to be wanting.

ber of the principal agriculturalists and scientific
