Although as a rule, we do not look with
much favor upon applications for the removals
ofdisabilities, Especially when they are made to
obtain Office there are exceptions, and the
Judges, and Court officers, are included in these
exceptions. AS a matter touching the public
good they should not hesitate, for the sake of
the proper administration of justice, to make
the requisite application as a personal af-

and in accordance with public sentiment.
