A NEw PorIcE JUSTICE. The present Common
Council before going out OF power, have the APP
pontment OF Police Magistrate TO fill the vacancy
OF Justice Gilbert, whose term OF office expires
about the first of May.
In this appointment, we shall certainly expect
them to place a man in that situation, of strong
mind sound Judgment, and OF good moral character.
Therefore, sincerely hope, that the man, whose
ever he may be, will be one OF integrity and above
reproach for, in the office Of Police Justice, they
are liable to many temptations, and such tempta-
lions weak. minded man could not very easily
overcome. Large sums Of money frequently
left with them as evidence, which might be ex.
changed, and thus the criminal escape punishment.
Then, again, let US suppose a case Tor example
II a magistrate should associate himself with any
officer Of one of the wards and do up business to.
gelher in the private bureau-and as some consta-
bes are capable OF receiving moneys for rewards
and for services rendered, without having to pro-
cure permission from the Mayor, (they being ex-
empt from the new police law)-conse quently very
profitable business could be carried on in this
way, viz the magistrate by placing the complaint
into his pocket, thus keeping the whole matter
+ ON the public press, whose duty it is to col
ct Information for the people; while the constable
would execute the financerng part, and afterwards
divide the spoils.
We do not, by any means, wish to be understood
That such proceedings in practice at present.
DOVE aude to any one. But we do say, that such
matters could be done by avaricious men-yes,
men who are open to temptation. Therefore, we
say again, in mercy sake, let us have good man,
moral man, and man above suspicion, appointed.
