a communication over the signature of ‘* Wm. Heard,” in which the writer, quot- ing from the records of the Halifax Police Court, brings forward a case recently de- eiaed there, which he believes to be similar to one decided here, in which he figured as plaintiff, and the judgment in the two cases being reversed, Mr. Heard becomes ex- cited over the question of precedents, and asks, ‘‘ Which rule of Court are we to be governed by ?”

A few momen: reflection should have served to convince Mr. Heard that so far from the cases being alike, they are as dia- metrically opposed to each other as it is possible to be. Let us just glance at them: In Halifax a MERCHANT called a LAWYER ‘‘a d—d sneak ; the lawyer sought redress in the court and obtained a judgment of $20 and costs against the merchant. In Char- lottetewn a LAWYER called a MERCHANT ‘‘a d—d infernal sneak, a d—d infernal scoun- drel ;’ the merchant sought redress in the court. There was no difficulty in proving the case, as the language was repeated in open court, andjyet the lawyer was excused and commended.

It has so freqiently been said as almost to besome an axiom, that ‘‘ Law is made only for the benefit of Lawyers ;’ and such being the case, is it to be wondered at that little privileges are accorded to lawyers which are denied to common people? Mr. Hearc, in his ignorance of the nicety of judgment required for the due administra- tion of the law, may think that it makes a great difference whose ox is gored, but this is almost as great a mistake as to suppose that “‘ two of a trade can never agree.” I wonder that a gentleman of Mr. Heard’s discernment should be so obtuse as to con- found the two cases, and the sooner he recognizes the fact that ‘‘ you scratch my back and [ will scratch yours !” is the govy- erning principle betwixt lawyers, the sooner will he be in pocket.

Yours truly,

AtrackeD BY EaGues,—A correspondent from Niel’s Harbor informs us that three young men rowing in the Bay about a week ago, were surprised to find a boat quite near the shore, the only oceupants being two © Eagles. As they approached the Eagles assumed the defensive, and with such hide- ous cries, that the wen were afraid to go near them. After they had returned to the shore, the two Eagles flew over and one of thein furiously attacked the men, driving one of his talons into one of the young men’s cheeks. Sticks had to be used before they could drive the infuriated birds away. North Sydney Herald.

The Philadelphia ‘‘ Times” has made a compilation and classification of the census recently taken in the United States. This classification, accerding to the ‘ Times,” will have an important effect on the political power of the different sections of the country. it estimates that New Eng- land loses three votes in the electoral col- lege; the great Central States loses five, the Western States gain eight; the Pacific States gain one, and the old slave States gain six. This estimate is forecast on the assumption that the numbers of Congress- men will be increased io three hundred; but the result would be proportionately the same, no matter how large er how small the House of Representatives may be made, as the population must govern in any case.
