As 10 Judge Perry.

There is one satisfaction in the
matter OF the appointments to the
Supreme Court bench, aud that is in
the shelving Of Justice Perry. Per-
sonally Judge Perry 10 an agreeable
man for anyone to know; but he was
below the mark on the bench. His
principal fault, however, was that
he was mere machine operated by
Chief Justice Frear. The latter was
his mentor and directed his opinions,
as scores upon scores OF decisions
will show. That two judges could
sit together for four long years and
not disagree on anything is some
thing impossible to imagine. 1t shows
that one OF them has been getting
in his work" on the other; aud that
is just what has happened in the
present case. Perry has been mere
tool. He has done the bidding Of
the Chief Justice mechanically, With
the result that Ftear, having, with
his ally, majority Of tho court, ran
things completsly. We believe that
Judge Hsrtwell aud Judge Hatch
will not be led around by the nose
by the Chief Justice or anybody
else, and the new court IL an i'm
provement 10 that respect il 10 no

not but think OF it as a judicial out
