cluIes that cor clusion. We see nothing in
this in vestgation rejecting upon your moral
ought to be corrected, and which we nave no
dou bt In the future you will correct. We OBJ.
serve carelessness in the mode Of disposing
Of defendant, which requires correction.
When you, or any other magistrate, have be.
fore you a party on examination for crime,
il is your duty to hear the case il you have the
proofs. Ii you have not the proofs before You
then it is your duty to extend 9 reasonable
tine for the heariug-to adjourn your case to a
fixed time And if the party dc not know when
he can procure his Witnesses for a final ex am
inaticn it is yonr duty to grant him reasonable
time in which to gather 1t; and then, also, ad-
journ the further consideration of the case to a
definite period. And the recognizanca in such
a case should be recogniz1nce to appear be-
further order as You should deem il necessary
to maize in the case. 1t ought to be single
bond TOT a single purpose
And &c latively to the further investigation Of
the case before this Court, If you have finally
considered the case and finally disposed Of 1t,
with view 10 the responsibilities of the higher
Court, then your reeognizance should be to
appear before the higher tribunal. 1t ought
not to be an alternative bond to appear before
one jurisdiction or another; to appear to
answer finally or to appear to answer temper
arily, as in the case OF a preliminary examina-
ton. That pra ctice must be corrected; ought
to be corrected in your case, and have no
doubt will be corrected. We are very much
81 atified in this case to find, as far as we are
able TO judge, from what has been revealed
here, that the bad purposes that may have crept
into the counsels of magistrates In this city,
and in this regard, do not appear in your case.
We will make the further remark that it is
not the business of constables TO procure bail.
1t is a vicious practice, and it ought to be dis
couraged by all good, worthy constables. 1t
OF the secrets, the Court apprehends, OF this
city being Invested Of the peace protecting
power of the constabulary force, is owing to
the fact that heretofore they have perverted
hQir nj ~ from tore nff ho md
from the legitimate discharge of their duties,
to transactions similar to the one which has
transpired in this case, though with worse mo-
tives, for the Court does not feel itself author
lied, from the proof in this case to reflect upon
the motives even of these constables. The
Court is glad that they have been able to bring
to their relief good explanation, comparative
ly, OF this very bad act.
Address sing Mr. Rowland
You will be discharged from this relation
but the Court will postpone the question of
costs, for, howe er much we believe you are
exempt from Intentional wrong in this case,
specifically the case furnished ample ground
in the light of probable cause for entertaining
the relation. You will observe here is q curl.
Gus fact of the change of bail of constables be-
coming answerable as sureties, and of a high
offender escaping from the jurisdiction of JUS
tiee IN tne DlstrictLall OF which constitute am.
pie occasion for the public prosecutor to call
the atten ion Of the Court These are all the
remarks that the Court deem necessary to make
on this occasion.
nation, and stated that he had another case on
his docket OF the chara cter and asked how to
proceed: Last Wednesday week a man was
brought before him tor bigamy, and gave bail
liz 81 900 for further hearing the next day
but he had not made his appearance and the
accused surety had asked that the bond be
withheld.
Chief Justice Cartier remarked that il wa 8
the duty Of all magistrates In such cases to
send their recogniZances TO court.
MIR. Rowland explained at length his course
f. q a ho had rnto tod
from any impure motives, and that he had al :.
ways borne good name, this being the first
time that he had been before the court on any
charge; and, with some warmth, spoke of his
name having been published in connection
with the charee malfeasance in Office, which
he thought unjust.
Onief Justice Cartier remarked that the de-
cision of the Court would probably be pub
lished.
Mr.. Rowland (feelingly)-Yes, Judge, but
you must remember that ga lie travels thou
sand miles while truth is pulling on his boots -
Chief Justice Cartter-That is true. but the
people will take into consideration the circum-
stances, and give due credit.
Judge Fisher-Your character will now be
better than before.
Decision IN the Case of Officers King and Freeman
by Chief Justice Cartier.
Mr.. King, the general impression here among
your acqualntances is, you are good man
and good officer.
Mr.. King-I am glad to hear that, Judge. I
have tried to deserve the good opinion of all.
SS,
nobody knows it better shan you. The Court
has come to the conclusion to discharge the
relation IN reference to You, and Mr.. Freeman
also, under the supposition that you thought
tioning BY It very vicious practice, and no
constable can perform this business and do
himself justice or the public either. We are
going to dismiss this relation this time, reserv-
ing the question Of costs. The Judgment of tho
Court Is That this man, Hanf, had better be
found and subjected to the process of the law
for the benefit Of the constables who entsred
into the enterprise Of bailing him. Laughter I
occasion to express his disapprobation OF
magistrates giving releaces to other persons
than the officers in the c1se.
