Murray on Speed in a Horse.

The Rev. w. II. Murray, in lis book,

on speed II horse:
"A horse was made for speed as truly as
ORD was made to fly: and fight and speed
become, therefore, standards of apprecia-
tion and value. If a man objects TO speed,
then why drive horse at all Why not

the nearer horse approaches, as I con ceiye,

sire and admiration; and since the horse
em oodles these two characteristics in q
greater degree than any other domestic
animal, 1t Is proof that the man is of sound

IN the articles above quoted OF the Code of
PRACTICE, considering also and wei Ching the
reason assigned By the said justice OF the
peace for his refusal 10 try the two causes
OF Henry Lagardere VS.. William Schaffer,
l am satisfied that said reasons, though sutfi-
Gent to create and justify some conscientious
scrupIes 90 not come within the provision
OF the Code Of Practice defining the just or
legal cause for which judge may be re-
cused. and that the parties to said cause
could not invoke these reasons as giving

cuse himself only where the parties could,
l am OF opinion that said Justice, Laresche,
has no strict legal right to persist in his re-
iusai to try the two suits above mentioned.
Will here remark that the conclusion ar
rived at by me in this case has been prompt
