Novor Strong has announced his intention of
onnoIutlny the successors Of the Police Justices

Police Magistrates act, the terms Of the Justices

the new magistrates plenty Of time 10 prepare
for their duties and the transition from one sys-

his Appointments in advance Probably he has
already made up his mind regarding the large
number OF applications made to him. with more
or less influential Endorsements in most, If not
ALL cases. 1t Is understood that in this matter
the Mayor Is relying largely on the advice Of
several eminent lawyers If that Is the fact, he
Is certainly acting wisely. There ought to be no
mistakes or experiments made The importance
of having honorable, upright and clean men on
the bench In our police courts was strongly set

Mr.. Henry Carey Baird has written much, often
on the right side but has not acquired the faculty
Of restricting himself to facts, and In letter to
the journal above quoted he asserts that the
panic Of 1873 was "prOduccd by contraction OF
..legal-tcndcr money. and concurrent imitation OF
bank credits" The fact may be found by any
body wishing TO seek it on page 6l Finance Ike
