IVER POOL LAW SOCIETY.

• LIVEBPOOL, SEPTEMBER BTH, 1859.
Siß,—l am requested by the Liverpool Law Society, -of- which
I am president, to bring under your notice a matter which
affects the administration of justice in this town. By the 98th
section of the Municipal Reform Act, her Majesty is em-
powered "to assign to so many persons as she shall think
proper, her Majesty's commission to act as Justices of the
Peace in and for each Borough, provided, nevertheless; that
every person so to be assigned shall reside within the borough
for which he shall be so assigned, or within seven miles of such
borough, or some part thereof, during such time as he shall
act as a Justice of the Peace in and for such borough." Some
years ago her Majesty was pleased to appoint as justices for
the borough of Liverpool two gentlemen, Mr. John Crosthwaite
and Mr. William Dixon, both of whom, at the time of their
appointment, resided within seven miles of the borough. For
several years past, however, these gentlemen have resided at
Southport, a place about twenty miles distant from Liverpool.
Both these gentlemen are merchants, and have offices
within the borough, which they occupy almost daily for buil-
nessyurposes ; and they severally discharge a very consider-
able share of magisterial duties.
An objection has been publicly taken to these gentlemen's
qualification to act as justices whilst they reside more than
seven miles from the borough, but the gentlemen themselves
are of opinion that they are not disqualified. The.importance
of the matter is self-evident, and I am therefore instructed by
the society to request that you will take the opinion of the law
officers of the crown, whether these two gentlemen are quali-
fied to act or not.

The cases to which the society wish to direct the attention
of the law officers are Attenborough v. Thompson, 27 Law.
Jour. Ex. 23; Blackwell v. England, 27, Law. Jour. Q. 8.,
124; Lambe s. Smyth, 15, Mee and W., 433; Whithorn v.
Thomas, 7, Man and Granger, 1, and the cases therein referred
to.-1 have the honour to be, sir, your obedient humble ser-
vant, HENRY BELL.
To the Right Hon. Sir G. C. Lewis, Bart.,
Her Majesty's Secretary for the Home Department.
. • ..
Whitehall, 16th September, 1859.
SIR,—I am directed by Secretary Sir George Lewis to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your letter of the Bth inst., request-
ing; on the part of the Liverpool Law Society, that the opinion
of the law officers of the crown may be taken as to the qualifi-
cation or disqualification to act as justices for Liverpool of two
gentlemen, upon the ground that they now reside more than
seven miles from the borough, though they carry on business
there, and occupy offices, &e., at which they are in constant
attendance.

The construction put upon the word residence in a statute
varies according to the object with which the act was framed.
The services of a magistrate are required in the day time, and
not at night, and the residence of these gentlemen appears to
Sir George Lewis to be exactly of the nature best adapted to
the, duties which are required of them.
It does not seem to him, therefore, that there is doubt
enough as to the qUaliticatien of these magistrates to justify a
reference to the Law Officers on the question.--I am, sir, your
obedient servant, H, WADDINGTON.
Henry Bell, Esq., President of the Law Society,
