In the case of Evans Thompson VS.. Annie
Mack, a motion was made to quash the pro-
| ceedings, on the ground that the magistrate be-
fore whom the case was tried had accepted
fee from one of the parties to the cause. Evil
dence was taken on this point and the proof
was that the magistrate had been employed
by Annie Mack to see Mr.. Thompson in re-
ference to some alleged discrepancies in their
accounts, and was paid fee of SIS for his
services. The suit from which an appeal was
taken was afterwards tried before the same JUS
tice. The court decided that there had not been
shown sufficient connection between the two
cases to qnash the proceedings He added that
the custom OF magistrates receiving fees in any
forIH, in the nature OF counsel fees, in any case
brought before them, is one which cannot be
tolerated, and which must render null and void
every proceeding in which it is shown to exist.
