Mr. Andrews, C.E., Mr Fowler, C.E., and Mr. Mackenzie

Mr. Bunnie, builder, Glasgow, proved that the clay

character to preclude any risk in its formation.
Mr. Martin, C.E., was examined on the same point.
This closed the case for the promoters.
Mr. VENABLES for the opposition, and on the part of Sir
James Colquhoun, of Luss, and others, contended that the
alteration made on the line of last year was not by any means
an improvement, and that the three reasons urged by the
promoters for this alteration were, in fact, no reasons at all.
Ile first of these, that a saving of 10,0001. would be effected,
lie would show could not be the fact; the second, that
the alterati9n would get rid of a dangerous curve,

LONDON, TUESDAY. MAY 11, 1847.

Mr. JOSEPH HUME has driven the nail home. In
addressing the House of Commons, immediately after
h statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Montrose
plainly declared before the assembled Parliament the
necessity which has now become imperative of bring.
ing the entire question of the monetary system under
the consideration of a Committee of the whole House,
with the intention of establishing the currency upon
a new foundation. Nothing could possibly have ren-
dered this necessity more manifest than the bungling
and desultory manner in which the position of the
banking trade was yesterday evening brought under
the notice of the popular representatives. Sir ROBERT
PEEL might well satirize the discursiveness with which
his memorable measure was scorned, and the straggling
schemes by which its evils were proposed to be averted.
Supposing there were no more formidable or more
reasonable antagonism to the Registration Bill
of 1844, then might the Right Honourable
Baronet the Member for Tamworth rest per-
fectly satisfied as to the soundness of his
financial policy. But there is an antagonism
immeasurably more formidable and unquestionably
superior in regard to its rationality. There is the
antagonism,
not of stammering dissentients down at

commerce,
of universal and undeniable trepidation.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 11, 1847.

From time immemorial the judges of the land,
superior and subordinate, have been in the habit, on
occasions which they have considered appropriate, of
making from the bench extra-judicial observations
upon the policy of any given law under which they
have been called upon to pass sentence. Considering
how much our criminal code formerly stood in need
of reform (and, indeed it still does to a considerable
extent), the practice referred to has unquestionably
been favoured by our legal functionaries to a very
limited. degree ; and there can be no doubt that, owing
to the remarks thus delivered by the judges, our
legislators have been at times quickened into pro-
siding remedies for the abuses denounced. Still, the
practice is bad in principle, though its occasional
eiTect has not been unserviceable to the public inte-
Strictly viewed, the practice is unconstitu-

rkx:s.

ttcna!

The province of the judge is faithfully to
aqininister the law in the shape in which he finds it
entrusted in his hands for execution. With its fit-
nu's or unfitness lie has nothing to do, so far as his
ministerial functions are concerned. To give an extra-
judici:d opinion from the ?eat of authority, either
as to the merits or demerits of any law, is, pro tante,
to entrench upon the province of the legislator. The
duty of the judge is solely to uphold and maintain
the law as laid down by the Legislature. In his pri-
vateArgilioint a4awtnay be held to be good or bad.
.11-rCis private opininnie favourable to its continuance,
the fact of adverting to it in terms of com-
mendation would only be an act of supereroga-
tion.; if, on the other hand, it should be un-
favourable, the expression of his views in open
