AN EvU.-An incredible number Of afhdavits,
prcferrng trivial charges every day filed in the sew
era police Courts and in the majority of pro-
secutors appear when the day fixed for examination
arrives and so the time and services Of the city officers
are occupied for nothing an offence committed be SO
triug not to deserve the full punishment the law
award prosecution of course ought to be commenced
at all and when prosecution is commenced for al
lodged crime misdemeanor in justice to all parties 1t
should be carried through and certainly the machinery
of the law should be made the instrument of crafty
ing personal malice or a momentary impulse Of anger
When deposition is entered charging offence and the
arrest made, the complainant should be compelled to
enter into obligation Of sort to forward
time appointed urge the accusation There might
PERHAPS be some strong objections to such an arrange
men but 1t is plain that would exclude much frivolous
and useless litigation and thus facilitate the operations Of
justice.
