SOME of our contemporaries sug- gsst that i would be little prema- ture to proceed to revise and codify the laws Of the Territory at present, arguing that they have already been twice codifed and each time the business was mere job to get the fingers of some needy barrister into the treasury.
 It occurs to us that It is never toe eGrzy to have good laws n the pro- per form in any country. As our laws now stand they are 8 mere con- tradictory and farcial tumble; and so far as their assistance in litiga- tion IS concerned, the result depends more upon the discretion or inclina- tion of the judges and justices of the peace than upon any clear cut un> mistakable law which the territory has.
 It is indeed most disgraceful condition of affairs, if the territory cannot get anything done without a job in it, and still more disgrace ful if she has not the legal talent within her borders to put our laws into a consistent. systematic, availa- bIe form N ith such code or codes of procedure as would make them most available.

locked by an attempt to do what any

 now. Again We say there is no use of fooling the time away, and if our legislators are wise they will discard the imbecile and foolish advice of the Gazette, which is 10 the effect that they should undertake to do thing which it is morally certain cannot be accomplished. The HERALD would be as glad to see the matter of unjust discriminations against the Territory regulated as any one in the tcrritcry, but it is not d shonest enough to nsk the legisla~ ture to waste the time and money of the people when it knows there would be nothing gained by it.
