Tuk Dairy EXAMINER.

———

JANUARY 11, 1884 = The Office of Clerk of the Crown.

We repudiate, at the first opportunity, the statement of the Patriot that Tar EXAMINER has made a “wanton attack” upon His Lordship the Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Peters, and protest that Tar Examiner has the highest respect for the Supreme Court of this Province. This feeling is, indeed, so strong, that we desire most earnestly to see every act of the Conrt above even the suspi- cion of fear, favor, or AFFECTION.

The appointment of Mr. Irving to the office of Clerk of the Crown was the most popular and ficting ever made by the present Lieutenaut-Governor in Council If it be illegal, as the Chief Justice de- clared it, the commuuity will, we ar sure, regret the fact, and unite in asking the Governor-General in Council to ap- poiut Mr. Irving to the office ; and as the Local Goverument pay the official, it is not likely that Mr. Longworth will pro- fit much by his ad inferim appointment.

If it be illegal, as the Chief Justice says it is, all the official acts done by Mr. Irving since he took the oath of office are, We suppose, illegal; and what are we to think of the Judges who per- mitted those official acts to be doue, and never till now made a formal protest agaiust (hem?

If the Local Government have no authority. 1o. appoint a Clerk of the Crown, the Local Legislature have. no authority to pass an Act investing the Judges with power to appoiut a Protho- notary; and the appointment of Mr. Longworth is as unconstitutional as that of Mr. Irving.

Furthermore, if the Lieut.-Governer- in-Council does not represent the Crown, by what right dves the Attorney-General] of this Province act on ~bekelf of the Crown?

Perhaps the Patriot will let a very much interested and mystified public have light with respect to these import- aut questions,and let us koow just how and where ‘we stand with respect to the administration of the law.

—In its ccmments~on the terrible Railway accident, which took place near Toronto a few days ago, the Monetary Times says :—

“Other people may, without great culpa- bility, forget to do something that they ought to do; bata conductor of a railwry train, who helds the lives of passengers in his hands, can never be excused for forget: ting to do what may be essential to prevent a great calamity. lf a conduetor were over- worked, so that drowsiness might deprive him of that full vigor of mind which he ought constantly to be able to exert, the responsibility for a resulting disaster would be shared by the company.”

—A few weeks ago Henry Villard was a much envied man; now there are none so poor as to do him reverence. Then he was President of the Northern Pacific Railway Company, and supposed to be worth millions; now he is not President and is not worth a dollar. By speculation he gained his money; by speculation he Jost it. He will now, probably, have time to reflect on the folly of stock gambling and the vanity of great riches.

Supreme Court~ Yesterday. Jr was about four o'clock in the evening the Court opened yesterday. All day long the barristers in attendance waited about the Courtroom, twiddling — their thumbs, cracking jekes, or discussing the! guestion of the hour; the Clerk of the lrown was on the alert in silk gown and top boots, and seemed to be ready for any | emergency; the Prothonotary, calm in his | robe of office, was also present, an anxious expression at times pervading his fine but} usually placid face; the Deputy Sheriff awaited the commands of the Court with all the dignity appertaining to his portly person and his important office; the Crier seemed concerned—doubtless because he was 8o long kept doing nothing ; the closely | watched prisoner sat stolidly in the dock; and the patient crowd waited outsido the | bar,—while lawyers clerks rapped in vain | on the panels of the ‘* Prothonotary’s Office” | down etairs,

The judicial consultation ‘and delibera- tion which was the cause of the long delay, was meanwhile a snbjeet of speculation. | But it was over at last; and while ‘the bar- | risters and all the officials bowed profoun4- | y, His Lordship the Chief Justice took his | seat upon the Bench—~sigmificantly

The animation displayed by the ecrier as} he gave utterance to the customary formula | **O vez, O yez,” was quite marked. Then | followed a period of silence. It ia said that | silence often proceeds a storm; but this}

} Wilh

alone.

silonce was due to the absence from the! Bar of the Attorney-General. Presently | he came in, and handed the Bill of |

Indictment to the Clerk of the Crown;} the Clerk of the Crown handed the Bill to | the Chief Justice and stood waiting to re- ceive it again; the Prothonotary also rose and stood waiting; the Judge handed the |

Bill to the Prothonotary, who adjusted his | ylesses and prepared to read. '

The Attorney General here interfered, stating that, as Mr. I:ving had been duly appointed Clerk of the Crown’ by His Honor the Lieut.-Governor-in-Council | under the Great Seal of the Province; as| he had duly taken the oaths of office, and | as he had performed the duties of the oflice | satisfactorily both at Summerside and at} Charluttetown,—he was the official who} should now perform the duties of Clerk of} the Crown, The Attorney-General further | objected and protested against Mr. Long | worth’s acting as Clerk of the Crown, though he was aware that he ha? an ad} interim ‘appointment to the office from a} majority of the Court. The Oourr, be! said, had no right under the cireumstances | to make an ad interim appointment; and as Attorney Général, as ‘a member of the | Executive Council of the Provinte, and as} a responsible adviser of His Henor the} Lieut.-Governor, he could recognize no oxe! as Clerk of the Crown but Mr. Irving.

The Chief Justice in reply said that after eareful consideration of the stibject, the Court had come to the conclusion that the appointment of Mr. Irving was not legal or valid, and had made up its mind that the ad interim officer should proceed with the business.of the court. The Crown - busi- ness, it is true, rests with the Crown; and as there is no Act

to take the right of appointing the Clerk of the, Crown from the Crown, the Court cannot see that the right is vested in the Lieutenant-Governor in Council,—who de not represent the Crown, and have no anthority to exercise the prerogatives of the Crown. But- even admitting that the appoint- ment of Cierk of the Crown resta with them, the appointment must receive the opproba- tion of the Judges before it is valid. This approbation the appointment of Mr. Irving has not received. As to the power of the Court to make an ad interim appointment. that is undoubted; Mr. Irving, by reason of his legal education, is considered by the Court incompetent to perform the duties of Clerk of the Crown, and, therefore, the Court would call upon Mr. Longworth to proceed forthwith with the business.

The Attorney-General desired to have an entry made on the minutes of his protest against the decision of the Court.

This having been done, the prisoner | ~

(Beayan) waa arraigned. He pleaded ‘‘not guilty,” and gaid he would be ready for trial on Friday.

Female Tenacity of Life.

with

It. appears from.the gathered statistics of

the world. that women have a_ greater iesacity of life than. men. .Nature worships the female in all its. varieties. Among

insects the ymale perishes. at a_ relatively earlier period. In planis the seminate blossoms die earliest and: ave produced on the weaker limbs. Female quadruapeds have more endurance than males. In the human race, despile the . intellectual and physical strength .of the man, the woman endures longest, and .will bear pain tow which the strong man _. saccumbs. Zymotic diseases are more fatal. to males, and more.male children die than females. Deverya asserts that the propoftion dying suddenly is about 100 women to 780 men; 1,080 in the United States, in 1870, com- mitted.suicide to 285 women, Intem- perance, apoplexy, gout, hydrocephalous, affection of the heart and liver, scrofula, and paralysis are. far more fatal to males than females, Pulmonary consumption, on the other hand, is more deadly to the latter. Females in cities are more prone to consumptjon than in the country. All old countries not disturbed by emigration have a great majority of females in the population... In royal families the statistics show more daughters than sons. _ The Hebrew woman is exceptionally long lived;

the colored. man is. exceptionally short lived. he married state is favorable to prolongation of life among . women. Dr. Hovgh

proclaims thst there are from two to six per cent. more males born than females, yet there ave more than six per cent. of females in the living populations. From which statistics we conclude that all women ought io marry, and that as men are likely to be- come so scarce they cannot be sufliciently prized by the other sex. tn ips Peat aaa
