REPLYING to our article in regard to the

mond Herald says A. to the ability Of the
Superior Court Judges, we rather think
his comparison, or contrast, an unfortuns te
one for the Court Of Appeals. Although
possessed Of giant intellect, the late Chief
Justice Robertson rendered some Of the most
ridiculous decisions that have ever emsua-
ed from the Appellate bench. To two WE'LL
known cases he decided in substance that
when mans life was threatened by anoth.
er and the threats communicated, the per-
son thus threatened had the right 10 hunt
up bis adversary and shoot him on sight.
Such decision completely uptufned the
foundation Of criminal jurisprudence Of the
State, and the Court Of Appeals has since
modified Il. Judge Roberson's hobby was
moral insanity" and he held to the opin-
ion in effect that drunkenness was excuse
for crime. more vicious ruling from
the highest Stete Court could not be con-
ceived Of II our friend Walton will ex-
anime his'law library little more critical
ly he will, we are satisf cd, further modify
his Criticisms Of the Superior Court.
We merely said Robertson because we
happened TO think ofhim. Any single one
Of them would do for the comparison.

We learn that large quantity OF

remember of seeing any call for ten
ders for such. 1t hardly seems
possible that the Minister of the In.

to let out by private contract a work
of this kind. His first duty is to
have prepared by the proper officer
the plans and specifications, and
then call for tenders. 1t is no part
of the Minister of Interiors duties to
become an importer of brick or any
thing else without q full knowledge
of the requirements, and that can
only be arrived at in the proper
way. 1t is not even enough to say
that he has consulted the Minister
