74.!TP:ACIIMENT OF JUSTICE FOUCHER F6R PAR-
TIALITY AND OPPRESSION IN THE ADMINISTRA-
TION OF JUSTICE.

It will be recilected than la the Spring of this year, an Impeach-
ment was brought in the Provincial Parliament of Lower
Canada, vainu Louis C. Poireataa, Esq. lwtge of the Court
of King'. Bench for the District of Montreal, for several Allied
sets etpartial and oppressive conduct in the administration of
jas4tee— , 1 the result of that Impeachment was in Address
from the Assembly, praying the suspension of Mr. Faeces'
from his judicial function, and 4hat his Etcellency the Go-
vernor in Chef subsequently compiled with•thls desire of the
Assembly.. The farther particulars of the.' important *pros
endings we were prevented from laying b-fore our Readers,
hi consequence of some of the Numbers la our series of ans.
dian Papers being miming, but a more complete file having
since come into our hands which enables us to supply this &-
feet, we now subjoin the Debates which took place on the
Impeachment, With tia independent spirit, sound termite.
Clonal knowledge,ond singular unanimity displayed In which.
our Readers, we are assured, will feel highly gratified: '
Mr. Suzawoon stated, that in pursuance of his
notice. he rose to call the a teetion of the House in
Committee, to several resolutions which he had for-
merly read in his place. and which he now offered to
be adopted. The dtity which the Committee were
now discharging to the country was of the very
highest importance: the right of the Ctim•nons to
accuse was new past all dodo, and-was to be fount
in that tree and excellent Constitution which the mag-
:nanimity and benevolence of the British Govern-
mint had bestowed upon as. the impeachment .ot
individual Judges, and of .whold Courts, particularly
the Court of King's Bench, had been practised in
England tor about 400 years.—(Mr. Sherwood rend
various authorities tafrOVO this, from the year 1400
down to the impeachment of Sir Elijah Impey.)—
The English had always *hewn a 'wholesomir jealousy
of the power of Judges, and a law actuilly rented
for several centuries, declaring that noJudge should
sit ..c the Assizes under Commissions ot Oyer and
Terminet, and Jail Delivery. in a County or. Shire
where he was born or resided. This law had nut
been abolished till some time after the 'period when
the Judges in England were made independent
of the Cowen by having their coniiiiissions asamolie
Ices estesetrint. Unhappily the Judges in this colony
did not hold such commissions. "Vhe Hoff furable
Membe: for the town of Three-Rivers. (Mr. Ogden);
as Chairman of the Special Committee, had procured
a copy of Mr. Fouchertscommission tram the Secrio
tarp's office, and it is durcerue boo plait.: the Judges
in this colony, therefore, are entirely dependent 4r'
the. Crown, and in the same situation as the JuJges ip
England during the reign of Charles I. Charles 11.
and James 11. His Majesty in she first year ot his
reign, doclired in a message to both Houses of Par-
liament, that the independence of die Judges was no.i
cessary for the safety oh the people and CHs; honour et
the Crown ; as the Judges in this colony. therefore.
were dependent, it followed of course they were nei•
ther honoutable to f he Crown, nor sale to the people.
Mr. Sherwood did not mean to speak of than indi-
vidually, but in their otficial capacity he had ender-
stood that the Judges at Quebec were justly esteemed
by their filJowoubjects, and ibas ,90grie spine at Mont-
real of this description. Bu. notwithstanding the
degraded tenure under which our Judges in this
province held their commissions, still it must be al-
' lowed that they bad more power than all the Judges ot
Great Britain,- Ireland. and the elites colorises collec-
owely. Toe Judges in Loner C .nada have in their
hands all the property of the country fad want of- a
Jury trial in :evil cases; and they have the seputa.
tion, thelives of his Majesty's subjects here in their
bonds by means ot select Juries. le .'Court destined
an individual to destruction. all they had to do was
An not. and the thing st as done. Under such cuckoo.
stances it behoved the Commons in this colony in a
peculiar manner so watch the Judges and accuse them
as often as testy did wrong. The public were rnech
indebted to die patriotic earrtions cri the ft ii. Mem-
ber tor me county of Huntingdon (Mr. Cuyillier) in
this instanc. : he had decreed aril of his olus.ley,

vanced in savour 44 v.e accused, but in HO cases
can a presaricatiog Judge in this country peculiarly
intrusted with our propertais, our iiberties,UHT repuia-
don, and our lives, be excused tor crimes 01 maniac a
nature as those before the Committee. In this coun-
try, ail that we hold most dear and sacred is at the
nicicy of Judges. who, it they are upright, ought to
be protected and cherished as inestimable characters;
but. on toe other'hand, in case of delinquency, they
cannot be too severely punished for the abuse and per.
version of power which UM: lam entiusts to thoio, fur
the general benefit, and not to be suited to private pur-
poses of favour or revenge. Can, Mr. Justice F 4 Meier
for the offences for which he stands impeached urge
any thing in his own behalf .f Can be plead his inti-
mate friendship for an individual as a justification in
depriving the antagonist of that friend of his dues, in
favour of the latter i What in a word can he say for
so fiagraat a breach of his duty ? The more fits sta-
tion was high, and elevated, die more ought he to
have been correct in the execution of its duties. He
had betrayed those principles vt..justice oh•ch his So.
vereign had unitixmiy cherished. He had in oat word
been guilty of practice b which in a person of his rank
were unpardonable, and in a person of in interior
stollen would be considered • as. crimes. of no small

were 'conduct so iniquitous and pernicioits suffered Is
pass unheeded. If a Barrister, whose conduct in a
public tribunal is respectful and correct, may be thu.
publicly insulted and intimidated by a Judge crud
and base enough to utter such insulting language, is
it not obvious that lie may be so far overcome ai to
be unable to do justice to his cause, and leave his
client exposed to Min ? If I say under such circum-
stances this House could not enquire into the con-
duct of the Judge,

he answer insult by insult he is suspended.—
Should he out of the Court consider the Judge as a
gentleman. and invite him to repair his error, he is
criminally prosecuted. We have had, Sir, various
instances of this sort. What, then. is the remedy for
suppressing the abuse ? The right of impeachment:
there is none else. Happy are we then to be able to
exercise a right that will at once maintain the inde-
pendence of an honourable profession, and vindicate
,he rights and security of such as are dr•ven to the
,otten. uppleasant alternative of law. To return to the
'theft towlines' in this resolution, they are established
by the most substantial testimony that can possibly
be produced. They are, indeed, such as our could
scarcely credit.' were they not authenticated by wit.
itC6S.s ot the most irreproachable characters, and men
,oh me 6rst rank in society. Mr. Foucher so far fur
got himself on this occasion. as to declare that he was
accountable for his conduct to nobody—that he was
mure than the King, and that•the King resorted to
his Tribunal f sr Justice. I however Sir, flatter my•
self that the gentleman will in this respect be shortly
made sensible of his error, and that he will learn there
is a tribunal competent to call him to an account—a
tribunal to which the representative of the people
' of this province will shew hint the route, and that in
the discharge of that duty there will not be a di:mu-
ting voice.
Mr. A. Sri:aar:—Mr. Chairman, in the preceding
resolutions I have been disposed to consider Mr. Jus-
tice Foucher as influenced by feelings emanating
from 044 e friendship, 'though in the instances he-
tore the Cothmittee. evidently perverted and polluting
the pure iountain of justice. All must admit, that
such a perversion calls for the most decided and ex-
emplary punishment, yet I should be the east man
on this fluor to exaggerate the remorse of conscience
and the poignaney of that Gentleman's feelings on
the discussions of a subject in which his future hap-
piness is involved and which there is just grounds to
believe must be followed by a dismissal from the
high and important joist which he has hitherto (sects.
pied. I feel it due I say, to the (salted feelings of
friendship to pay it sonic tribute of respect even when
leading to tl.e wildest •it extravagancies, and aberra-
tions from the. virtuous paths of justice. Bin on the

Urged on Mt, Gentleman's behalf, nor can I. find laii- 1
gunge capable of expressing the indignation which
must be telt by every honest mind at this instance of
cruel tyranny and folly, verging upon insanity, ex-
hibited by a Judge in the solemn execution of one of
the most s..ered duties that can be entrusted to a
man. Ignorance of the quesiion proposed by Mr.
Porteous is the only feeble palliative that can be ima-
gined in favour of Mr. Panther, but when we reflect
that this Gentleman had grown grey is the practice
of the profession, that he had long occupied a seat
on the Bench. we are at a loss, and indeed it would
be no compliment to his professional acquirements to
seek his viadication in so feeble a subterfuge. What
was the language of Mr. Foucher to Mr. Porteous
ea this. occasion I it was such as no Gentleman could
bear with impunity, and w:.ich could 'liver have
issued from toe mouth of a Gentleman; yet, Sir. this
is the language which we 6nd uttered from the judg-
ment seat where every passion should be silent, where
even the ordinary infirmities and weaknesses of hu-
man nature shohld at least be concealed from human
observation, and where the Judges unrested with the
sacred powers of dispensing justice bet Ween man and
man, ought to seat themselves as in the sanctuary of
the living Goa. It is. sir. in such a place that Mr.
Foucher has breathed a language not only beneath
the dignity of a Judge, but even beneath that of an
ordinary Gentleman, and avails himself of the sacred
robe of justice to insult with impunity the feelings of
a Gentleman—and so whom, S;r, is this insult ol-
feted I to a young Gentleman of irreproachable cha
meter. who had recently entered upon the thresh-
leu:af at his profession, and who was in the honest din:
chicle, of hit' protessioual duties in defending the
right. of his client. Instead of indulgence to Mr.
POMOUS (if he had required it), Mr. Foucher wan-
tonljattacks him with the grossest abuse while Mr.
Porteous was' engaged in the fair and proper dis-
charge of his duty. He trampled upon the honour-
able prUtriMOU to which Mr. Yucteous itelunged, and
attempted to destroy as far as in him lay the inde-
pendence and honour of that profession, and t:4ough
such attempts exhibit the most unaccountable folly.
and will at all times prove abortive, the guilt of the
delinquent' who resorts to such attempts is not
thereby diminished. Mr. Foucher himself had once
' the ti.•nour so beling to that profession, and he must
have well known that the well being of society is inti•
' merely connected sift its independence and its honour.
We may. Sir. enjoy the pageantry of Legisiature and

Scarcely three years have passed since the matinee
of this right was denied by men whose tank in so-
ciety entitled their opinions to some cussed-ration.
But notwithstanding that the progress of truth is ge-
nerally slow, the error of these men has in tlitei short
years been consigned to the tothb of the Capnless:
.Thirosight Commons of this province has Weil
distinctly recognized, and a more beneficial exercise
of it could hardly be made than that now before the
House—mine in which the necessity of the etincllCll
of this right is more plainly evinced.
Mr. Daviesoe had not intended to have occupied
the attention of the House on a subject which he
conceived had already been exhausted ; in justice
however to his feelings on a subject of loch high ius4
portance to this Coluoy, he could not be teenntiled
to a silent 'kite on the occaii in. The very able and
satisfactory manner in which the H .nottrable Mem-
ber, from the County of Effinghem (Mr. Sherwood)
had premised the resolutions submitted to Use Com-
mittee, with the great mass of concurrent testimony,
had carried entire conviction to his mind, and be
, considered it was impossible fir any Member of tbe
House, after such testimony, to avoid ass acknow.
ledgment of a similar conviction. With reepeel,tie..
the third resolution, he expressed his surprise a; od
regret that Mr. Justice Faucher should 11:ve so tar
fergotten the dignity his trust, as to have yietcfeds.
for a moment, to the• impulse of resentment against •
a Gentleman of the B it who stood before hies in the
performance of his duty—,a duty as sacred to hie anent
jat that of Mr. Foucher was to the public. He, now.
ever, would not expatiate on this subject, which bad
been so amply and s • ',oily dis. ussed by the Howie.
able Member from the Uppei-Tosin of Quebec ( Mr.
Vatoeleon); he (Mr. Davidson) stpccor:d the mint
onqualifi:d approbation nt that Gentleman's
menus with respect to Mr. Fouches's conduit, arta he
conceived no roan could have rendered formula*.
stantial justice in snpporting the credit and tor:dig-
nity of the profession of which he was a member hf
no ordinary talent and acquirements.
Mr. GUM' vegetated that be was placid in a sites.
tion wherein lie had no alternative between duty and
feeling. He was personally acquainted with Mr.
Justice Foucher, and had always entertained the
highest respect for that Gentleman, and had reasuu
to consider himself, in same degree, under nnligatiosh
towards him for acts of friendship and ii,dipthanq to
some branches of his family. He had attenoivesyfol•
lowed the evidence before the Committees and it was
natural to think that disposed as he was, to put the
most favourable construction upon the whole on la.;
your of Mr. Foucher, he would have been glad of in
opportunity of exerting his bumble talents on realest:
ing the imputations which he regretted to And were
but too well established, against his judicial charac-
ter. The mass of concurring testimony' which ape
,peared to have been' taken with much precisions and
the moderate and deliberate m inner su which the
proceedings had been'iOnducted was too strung Odd
ciatietsisive to admit Of -an apology on the park of
Members who otherwise might have been dtsposeds
at least, to attempt to palliate, if not to justify, Mr.
Poacher in the eyes of the public. However painfol
it was to his feelings not to be able to raise Ins voice
in favour of that Gentleman, at a moment when be
stood most in need of the exertion of his friends, he
could not but yield to conviction and a sense of duty,
on an occasion in which he did not think there could
be a dissenting voice.

'They weie born within the sane hour, and were in-

were baptized together, in the same church, and
reva alter separated. At t! c age of nineteen they
were married, with the consent of their relatives, in
the church where they had been baptized. They had
experienced no infirmity during the coutse of their
long life, and died at the age of 100 years, reposing
together on the old marriage bed, and wets interred in
the same grave, beneath the baptismal font, where
they had been presented together, in the preceding
century.
Tuesday se'nnight, two little girls, the one seven
years. and the other five )ears old, children of a
neighbouring man named ticager, at Lydsmg Corner,
in Kent, were left in a room together, during the
terztenrary absence of their ti.othet.• By sonic acci-
dent the clothes of the elder child caught fire from
the hearth, and she was immediately enveloped in
flames; the poor little creature roiled herself on the
flan, and her sister sptinkled water on her, but her
clothes were all burned from her body. In this horri-
ble situation the children both ran out, and the poor
sufferer actually reached Bredhurst, a distance of hall
ai mile, in a state which defies ifiorgination—her flesh
literalry dropping from her bones; and when she
placed her hand on the door of the room in which
the accident happened, some of het flesh was attached
to the door When they arrived at the cottage door
