Editorial Notes.

At the convention held in Bradalbane,

on the third instant., it was decided to

organize a Liberal Conservative Assuciation

Electoral Districts in the County will fol-

low suite.

Public opinion in Charlottetown will be gratified by the spirited action of the City Council concerning the defence of Stipendiary Magistrate Fitzverald. At the same time, we should all like to see ths doubt cast upon the Magistrate's legal

\ special meeting of the City Council was held last evening, His Worship Mayor Haviland presiding. All councillors were pre senc.

His Worship explained that he had called the Counei! together to consider the follow- ing letter received from the Stipendiary Magistrate: an

the

CHARLOTTETOWN, Ist Dec., 1886,

To Hts Worsdir THE Mayor,

SIR,—As yOu are aware Ll have received a ruls nisi issued by His Honor the Chief Justice, on the application of Mr. Robert Crabbe, staying all

urther proceedings until next Hilary Term,ia the

matter of a summons issued by me for an alleged breach of the Canada Temperance Act. 1878.

As the ground upon which this rule is obtained, viz,. that I have no jurisdiction, my commission as Stipendiary Magistrate having been issued by the Provincial authorities and not by the Governor General, is a serious one to the city, might I ask you to lay the matter before the Cily Council at your earliest convenience.

i have the honor to be Your obedient servant, R. R. FirzGerap, 8S. M.

The letter caused a considerable amount

of discussion, in the midst of which a mo- tion to adjourn was put and lost on the casting vote of the Mayor.

Councillor Crabbe then moved the fol-

lowing resolution, which was seconded Councillor Haszard :-

Resolved, That His Worship the Mayor be authorized to retain counsel to defend the ap- pointment of R. R. Fitzgerald as Stipendiary Magistrate of this city, under the Act passed by the Provincial Government in [875, in ail proceed- ings where the said appointment is questioned.

Councillor Kelly, seconded by Councillor Curtis, moyed the following ametidment :~

Resolved, That the Mayor be authorized to take the necessary steps to defend the jurisdiction of the Stipendiary Magistrate which i: questioned by the proceedings in Prohibition, now pending; and inasmuch as it is expedient that the city be put to as little expense as possible, itis desirable that a test case be agreed to. And further that, as itis claimed that the city is liable for the acts of its officials and experience has shown that the result of legal proceedings is extremely uncertain, should it be decided that the Stipendiary Magis- trate is irregularly appointed, the city would be sued and might be held liable for damages arising from illegal pros:cations brought by the police.

The amendment was then putand lost on the folowing division :

| 'y

Ayes—Morris, Douse, Kelly, Curtis.

Nays —Horne, Crabbe, McRae, Haszard, A. A. McLean, T. A. McLean.

Councillor A. A. MeLean, seconded by

Councillor Douse, then moved the following amendment :

Whereus, In prosecutions under the criminal laws of Canada the jurisdiction of the Stipen- diary Magistrate has been questioned ; and

Whereas, By a recent order of the Govyernor- General-in-Council, it has been declared that the City Treasurer of any city in which the Act shall be in foree, shall, in prosecutions under the Canada Temperance Act, 1878, be trustee of moneys collected under said Act;

And Whereas, The jurisdiction of the said Sti-

pendiary Magistrate has been brought into ques- tion in @ prosecution under said Canada Temper- ance Act, 1878. Therefore Resolved, That although this Coun- cil shall not be responsible in cases under the said Canada Temperance Act, except to the amount of fands held in trust under the Canada Temperance Act. That this Council do, seeing that the question of the Magistrate’s jurisdietion comes into question in this case, defend the Magistrate in the case of Crabbe vs. the City, and in the question of his jurisdiction in all criminal cases.

The amendment was lost on the casting vote of the Mayor, and onthe following division :—

Ayes—A. A. Kelly, Curtis,

Nays—T. A. McLean, Crabbe, Haszard, McRae, Horne.

The original motion was carried on the same division.

Councillor Morris gave notice of recon- sideration at next meeting of Council.

Council adjourned.
