There Is another subject OF which wish to
| speak. In coinmerciai community Ike our city,
there are many cases, undoubtedly OF embezzle-
ment, breach Of trust and obtaining goods under
| false pretences, which ought to be prosecuted
and the guilty parties visited with punishment.
Sncb crimes we will all agree are, among mercan-
tile population, particularly odious and noxious
and should be vigorously dealt with. But at the
same time, we ought to remember that creditors
are sometimes so active and unscrupul0us to
adopt improper means to coerce their debtors;
that they sometimes try to make acts, which do
tion Of criminal prosecution, which is instituted
only TO intimidate and thus The processes of this
court, which are meant only to protect the peace
and dignity of the State and to punish offenses
against society are perverted for purposes Of pr-
vate advantage. Such perversons are simply
abominable. We are not here to collect debts,
settle business quarres or hquidate partnerships,
but to punish crimes, more in sorrow than in an

upon this species of sport compels US to say that
while the Indians may enjoy such amusements,
