Tors pfeient, they declined TO act on matter
in which the lives, liberties and properties of
the people were 70 deeply interened, and it
was put off till after the next election of coun-

There IS no appointment in this govern
ment, Especially under the preient fituation of
our public affairs, of greater importance than
that Of judge. 1t is the Reasonable expeefa-
tons of this people, that men who are tho
rough judges, and have had much honour
to be made the inltrument in arriving on the
meafnres of corrupt court, ihould be pro-
NOTED to the bench ofjufice; and it is uni
verbally known that there are fuch men to be

ed that If only eight out of the twenty-eieht
councillors to be elected are fuch as the Co
vernon can manage, it will be in his power by
exercifng his prerogative of negativing land

thoie eight majority of legal council and
