heifers out upon the public road, the
urchin who robs an orchard, and many
minor rural 'malefactors" are, it is
generally claimed, being more person

magistrates, In England. The abolition
of the old-time benches Of squires and
landowners, whose right to be made
Justices Of the peace was almost re-
garded as hereditary, and their substi-
tuition by men Of integrity in every
walk Of life, and now by women, has
wrought a change in rural police court
justice which the country mind under

a country bench recently, a prominent
landowner, his agent, ;one 2of his Ia
borers were all adjudicating together.
