" No notice whatever was taken of the comments of
the learned judge who addressed the jury respecting the
means by whicis they were placed in the box, he having
never known in his experience of the same course being
taken in the privilege of cmpanneling a jury. And well
might he say so, when five Roman Catholics were tried
by a j'iry of 12 decided partisans, all of them Protestants,
and a large majority Orangemen, while 19 of their co•
religioll,ts, highly respectable men, were set aside by
th parties conducting the prosecution. Nor was there
the slightest hint given that the counsel for the defence
gave notice of appeal, and that Judge Christian declared
it was a most proper case for the Court of Appeal.

My dear Sir,--Nothing can be more gratifying to me
than to receive the congratulations of one who, like
yourself, has watched and witnessed nearly the whole of
my professional career, and who now sees the labours of
a long life crowned with a distinction beyond which
there is no aspiring. lam delighted, too, to be remem-
ber, d at the moment of my elevation by the members of
that honourable branch of our common profession whose
trust and c3niiiience in me have contributed materially
to my advancement, It is a satisfactoty proof to my own
mind that I have never neglected those interests which
were intrusted origiaally to their protection, and of which
they were willing to assume the responsibility of select-
ing me to be the advocate. I am most happy to conneot
myself by my title with that town where I first acquired
any distinction as a leader on the Home Circuit. I bi±.d.
