GLASGOW FIFTY YEA Rs AGO.—To those of our fellow-citizens
,who may feel at times inclined to phime themselves inordinately
en their superiority to their forefathers, the following quotation
from the Glasgow Mercury of 12th September, 1782, may perhaps
furnish matter for a little salutary humiliation :—" Yesterday
the Circuit Coart of Justiciary was opened here by the Eight
Hon. the Lord Hailes. TQre being no criminal business to coma
before the court, his lordship permitted the gentlemen of the j ury to
return their respective homes, which' atthis busy season must
be veryreeable to them." In those simple days, parliamentary
reform was unknown—self-election was flourfshing in our burghs
iri all its luxuriance—we had no police establishment— no tem-
pfrance societies—no voluntary-church societies—no manifesta-
tions of the spirit—and yet, in regard to the great, substantial
article of happiness,
"Our being's end' and aim,"' surely- these
iiinsthave been comparatively happy times, in which the Circuit
Court at its P-erfodical,visit, then only once in half a year, could
find nothing whatever fur it do, lint was obliged to-go•as it came.
