We are glad to find that somebody has at length been
found, with courage enough openly to protest against the
indecency, not to say illegal practice, of persons acting in
the double capacity of Magistrates and Select Vestrymen.
That it is a practice not, on all occasions, technically ille-
gal, we are well aware; for the framers of those blessed
specimens of modern legislation, called Local Acts, have
in some instances contrived to smuggle a clause into some
of them, permitting persons to act as Magistrates not-
withstanding they are vestrymen. The very necessity for
such a clause is a tacit admission of its impropriety. But
though such things may thus be made legal, they are not
thereby made right. And there cannot, in our apprehen-
sion, be a greater scandal bpon "the 'Magistracy, than that
persons can be found ready to -violate their oaths, under
the convenient salvo provided by these 1-041 Acts. We
believe this matter has never yet come- deliberately before
the Court of King's Bench; but we hope it nom, will: and
when we are told that the Judges themselves have, with
a commendable, but almost, in their case, unnecessary de-
licacy, actually retired from the Bench when a question
was agitated relative to a rate in their own parishes, we
shall be curious to see what the same upright and dig-
nified persons will say,when they hear that rates are made,
alloWed, and enforced: and the poor passed, refused relief,
oppressed; and actually imprisoned, by Magistrates who are
themselves parish officers, and, as such, personally inte-
rested in every act they do. So open has this violation of
common justice And common decency become, that in some
of the principal parishes of the metropolis persons are ac-
tually elected'into Select Vestries, for no other reason but
because they
,are Magistrates, and because, as such, they
may be able to keep the whole parochial concerns to them-
selves, and thus shut out all power of complaint and of ap-
peal from the inhabitants : and not only to the poor is all
justice thus denied by these petty satraps, but an indivi-
dual, who—as stated in our Paper a few days since—is
able to expend 6001. in litigation with them, is still shut
out from all redress by persons who can thus expend the
funds of the parishioners in defeating and denying them
justice. We should be ashamed almost of occupying our
readers' time in arguing the impropriety of this, were not
an evil at once so obvious, and so obvious in its remedy,
suffered to remain year after,year unredressed. Indeed so
audacious and so hardened to all sense of shame are some
of these petty despots become, that we have heard, though
we cannot vouch for the fact, that in one instance they
actually appointed a deputation to wait upon the Secretary
of State, requesting
.him to dismiss a Police Magistrate
who did not act in complete aecolkdatice with their sapient
and disinterested views. There is no duty more incum-
bent upon the Legislature than to pass just laws ; nor upon
the Government and the Courts, than to
.see that those
laws are impartially and justly executed ; which never can
be the case (at least in the estimation of -the multitudi)
while those who ought to be the honest and impartial ad-
