PRIVATE LETTERS TO A JUDGE.—At the Chelmsford
County Court, on Thursday, Mr. Gordon, the judge, be-
fore hearing the cases, said he must mention a course
of great impropriety, which, either from a want of edu-
cation or other motives, either. good or bad, persons
sometimes resorted to. He must say it was a highly
improper practice for any person, whether a suitor or
connected with a suitor, to write a private letter to a
judge. This letter (holding one in his band) was a most
extraordinary one, because it exhibited a wonderful
amount of ignorance. The writer concluded thus :
" I appeal to you as a gentleman, and one holding a high
position in society, to give the case (that is, the case of
a young man who was remanded for six months at the
last court) some consideration. If you will favour me
with your opinion I shall be much obliged, and shall be
happy to remunerate you professionally." (Laughter.)
The ignorance of the writer—the father of the young
man—in offering a fee to the judge was extraordinary.
He (the learned judge) said he wished he could say this
was the only letter- he had received, but another of a
much more improper character had been sent to him,
which he had forwarded to another quarter. He trusted
this public notice would put a stop to such improper con-
duct ; he wished to know nothing of any case except
what ho learned from the evidence offered in open court ;
because it would at once undermine the purity of the
administration of justice, if it were supposed that the
judges were to be open to receive letters from suitors
before the case was called on, or during its progress.--
Chelmsford Chronicle.

RETURN OF EMIGRANTS TO IRELAND.—The King's
County Chronicle remarks that something like symptoms
of a turn in the tide of emigration are slowly setting in.
During the present season several men have returned to
their old home in the mother country, most, if not all of
them, bettered in their condition and imbued with mere
active habits.
