ATTEMPT TO REMOVE JUDGE LORING -Sevs
era of the Boston papers chronicle certain prelim.
mary proceedings on Tuesday, having the remo-
val Of Judge Loring as an object This action ia
based upon the fact that the Judge ventured TO
perform what he conceived to be bis sworn duty In
the case of Anthony Burns. The Journal Tins
presents the matter;
The Committee on FEDERAL Relations sat yester.
day afternoon in the hall of the House of Repre-
sentatives, to listen to arguments in relation to
the pationa for the removal of Edward G Lorinp
from the office of Judge of Probate. Brief speech.
es were made ia behalf of the petitioners by ].
IngersoH Bowditch and John W. Brown Esos.-
The main point in their arguments was thas Judge
Loripg trod the Personal Liberty Law under his
feet by acting in the two fold capacity of Judge of
Probate and Slave Commissioner. Mr. Ingersoll
coatended that mart who would perfom the func.
tions Of the latter tffice morally unfit to be
guardian of pidows and orphans; finally that
Judge Loripg had violated good behaviour and
given abundant reason for loss of public confidence
Mr. Brown said the Legislature must bring this
Judge to the feet of the law, he would bring the
Lsgisla Z and the law to his feet He was
public criminal and the Legisstu ture was the
grand inquest to apply the law to him, it is ap-
Piled to private criminals.
1t Is pleasure to ses the paper from which we
quote speak thus upon the subject, though of vic
lent Freesoil or Republican partiaities ITSELF
The provisions of the law upon which the peti.
tions for the removal of Judge Loring are fonod.
ed. is singular instance of political zeal over
reaching itself, and losing all by graspiug too
much The fourteenth section of the Personal
Liberty Bill provides that any State Judge, who
shall for ten days continue to hold Office as United
States Commissioner. ''sball be deemed to have
violated good behaviour, to have given reason for
loss of public confidence, and furnished sufficient
address" This ia plainly unconstitutional as it is
an attempt to construe the Bill of Rights by stat
ute, which the Legislature cannot do. No Rapub-
lican lawcr however earnest in bis faith can hon.
estly look man in the face, and say that this part
Of the act is constitutional.
