“the Supreme Court.” The subject is deeply interesting to all suitors and tax- payers; and Mr. Warburton’s letter deserves more attention than it has received. Therefore we to-day transfer it to the columus of Tue Examiner. There is not in the Province an institution more in need of improvement and brightening up than our Supreme Court. The laggard way in which justice is dispensed by it is disgraceful ; aud its cost to the taxpayer is quite ont of proportion with the public service it renders. Mr. Warburton suggests that a& short-hand reporter be appointed by the Government, and that two courts sit concurrently during each term. If it be inconsistent with the position and dignity of the Judges to go to work before half- past eleven o'clock ia the day, or to work after four or five in the afternoon, or to take luncheon in less thar an hour aud a half, and if a short-hand reporter will basten proceedings and save time, by all means let a short-hand reporter be appointed —not by the Government but by the} Court—and paid out of the costs of the | suits. On what right principle is the public called upon to pay a large part of the costs of all civil suits? If Aand B

for the said Electoral} District. P. O. Address. For a tevast the form is the same ex- cept that instead of the paragraph mark- ed (8) the following is to be inserted :
3. That I am the tenant of under a lease from one (here named 'andlord) of the--———of ———in the Connty of —at a (monthly, quarteriy, haif-yearly or yearly) rental of at least dollars and have been in possession there- of as such tenant for at least one year next before the firat day of January, 1896, and have really and bona fide paid one year’s rent for such real pro perty atnot han the rate aforesaid, such one year*s rent dDelng the year’s rent up to the day ofgiss5, which was the last day of payment.
For an occupier the form is the same as that of a freeholder, except that the third paragraph still read as follows :
| we see little objection. In
fall into a dispute sbout 2 quarter of an acre of land worth nothing, why should the taxpayers bear any part of the ex- pease of a prolonged suit in the Court ? In arbitration cases the parties never think of asking the public to pay the arbitrators; why should the public
| be compelled to pay the Judge, Juries,
‘
‘lerks, Reporters, and other officers re- quired by those who involve themselves in an action before the courts? These questions may well be ventilaged before adoption of Mr. Warburton’s sugges- that « shorthand reporter be ap- ated and, we presume, paid by the Wroverpment.
To the suggestion that two courts be beld in Queen's Connty at the same time, Halifax the Courts are held in that way without expense, and time is saved and ; satisfied.
Mr. Warburton deserves credit for his er, and we should like to hear what

A Canard.
Tar Patriot gave editorial promise on Saturday evening to a canard that “on the 6th of February, Minister of Cus- toms Bowell went to Montreal, incognito, aud while there had a two hours’s private interview with Father Dowd, of St. Patrick’s Church.” The Patriot remarks that “ what transpired at that interview is not revealed, but immediately after- wards Father Dowd preached his sermon against the National party, which sermou gave so much comfort to the Tory press.” The Patriot “calculates” that this will at the same time discredit ion. Mr. Bowell in the eyes of orange- men and please all those who were mad about the execution of Riel. That the canard has been contra- dicted on the authority of Father Dowd, and that the contradiction has ap- peared in all the respectable papers of
Montreal, makes no matter to the Patriot. Wf nothing true about the Gov-
eroment will tend to its discredit, then something must be invented. Referring to this false report the Montreal Gazette of the 18th inst. has the following.
“Last evening the above was shown to the Rev. Tather Dowd, by a Gazette reporter, when he said, “That is very low. The simple facts are these and you may publish my statement ! My friend, Mr. James O'Brien, who was in company with Mr. M. P. Ryan and two other gentlemen, called to see me on the Sunday afternoon in
uestion. Mr. O’Brien said to me, ‘Father Dowd,
beg to present to you the Hon. Mr. Bowell Minister of Customs, and Mr. {Sinclair.* I noi- ded a welcome to the four gentlemen, who re- mained with me about ten minutes, during which the conversation ran on my illness and its causes.

—We clip the following from the Canadian Presbyterian Home and Foreign Iecord for this month. It will no doubt, be of special interest.to our bumerous Presbyterian readers: —
Canada, with a population about equal to that of London, now boasts of the longest railway in the wor!d—3527 miles, Sir Geo. Stephen, Bart, lion. D, A. Staith, and Mr, BR. B, Angus, the chief promoters of the Canadian Pacific Railway—as this great trans-continental highway is called— are all Presbyterians, no less conspicuous for their generous gifts to religious, educational, and other benevolent purposes, than for their enterprise and success in jbusiness. The centenary of Presby- terianism in Montreal will be celebrated this month with becoming observances. It was on the 12th of March, 1786, that the Rey. John sethune,Chaplain to the 8ith Regiment, organize the first Presbyterian congregation in Montreal. The congregation then met in a room hired for the purpose. It was not until October, 1792, that old St. Gabriel's was opened for wo1ship; but in the meantime it remains On record that for some- time the Presbyterians worshipped regularly in the Recollet Roman Cathelic Church, and, by permission of the Recollet Fathers, even dispens- ed the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper init. The St, Gabriel Street congregation had a somewhat chequered history, and no doubt the coming cele- bration will revive many interesting recollections of the olden times. The oldest inhabitant is likely to be at premium on the 12th,
—lIt will please the public—including the contributors to the Institution—to read the explanation of the Trustees of the P. E. Island Hospital ; and we may hope that an incident like that connected with the unfortunate Slate will not occur again.
Meeting of Presbytery.
The Presbytery of P. E. Island met on the 2ad inst, in Zien Church. There were present Rev. Wm. Scott, J. M. MacLeod, Wm. R. Frame, J. G. Cameron, Alex. Ranlston, Wm. Grant, James Carruthers, George McMillan, Wm. A. Mason, John McLeod, A. W, Mahon and W, H. Spencer, and Messrs. R. M Barrett, Donald Camp- bell, Nenneth Henderson, M. D., Jobn Clay and James Ross, elders,
A call was sustained from the Con gregation of Mount Stewart and West St. Peter’s to Rev. J. A. McLean of Nova Scotia, and ordered to be transmitted to him for his decision. A call from the congregation of Summerside to Rev. John Murray of Sydney, Cape Breton, was also austaine?d, and the Clerk instructed to transmit the call and relative papers to the Clerk of the Presbytery of Sydney to be proceeded with in the usual way. The Rev. Mr. Murray was requested to represent the congregation of Summerside and Presbytery of P. E. Island in the prosecution of this call before tho Presby- tery of Sydney. A cail from the congrega- tion of Hast St. Peter’s to Mr. J. W. Mc- Kerzie was also sustained, presented to Mr. McKenzie and accepted by him. The Presbytery agreed to meet at East St. Peter's on the 15th inst., at 7 o’clock p. m., to hear Mr. McKonzie’s ordination trials; iad also on the following morning in the same place at 11 o'clock, for the purpose of ordaining and inducting him into the pas- toral charge of East St. Peter's. Rev. Alex. Raulsion was appointed to pre&ch the ordination sermon ; Rev. J. G. Cameron to address the Minister and Rey. J. M. Me- Leod the congreaation ; Mr. R. M. Barratt was appointed to preach in East St. Peter's on the 7th inst., and serve the edict of ordination in both churches.
A califrom the eongregation of Cow Bay 0. B., to Rev. Wm. Grant, of West River, with ressons for his translation, and other papers were read and laid on the table. Rev. J. M. McLeod was directed to ex- change with Rev. Mr. Grant on'21st inst., notify his congregation of said call, and cite them to appear for their interests at a meeting to be held in Caledonia, for Presbyterial visitation and other business on Tuesday, 30th inst., at 6 o'clock p. m At this meeting Rev. Jas. Carrathers was appointed to preach, and Rev. A. Raulston at a meeting to be held on the following morning, in Wooville, at 11 o’clock, and Rev. R.

Ata meeting of the Trustees, held this day, the following resolutions were passed and ordered to be published, viz. :—
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Ladies’ Aid Society having now reported the proceeds of the Bazaar and previous Sale to be $563.63, less print- ing expenses, the cordial thanks of the Trustees are due and are hereby tendered to the Ladies’ Aid Society for their efficient and successful ser- vices, resulting in such a handsome contribution to the P. E, Island Hospital.
Also Resolved, That the case of Charles Slate having been now brought to the attention of the ‘Trustees, they regret that Dr. Dawson, being un- aware of Itule No. 2, with reference to the admis- sion of patients, declined to admit Charlies Slate to the Hospital without further enquiry into his case,
The rules for the admission of patients are as follows:
i. Application for the admission of patients may be made at the hospital on each day of the weck, Sundays excepted, during the hours of the attendance of the attending physicians, who may grant permits for admission subject to the ap- proval of the Visiting Committee.
2. Patients accidentally wounded, or otherwise disabled or injured, shall be received at any hour.
3. Seamen provided for by law shall be admit- ted and shall receive the benefits of the Hospital.
4. No patient shall be admitted whose case is considered incurable, or who is insane, or whose
ease does not require the particular benefit of an indoor practice,
andes ee ve admitted with any highly
In reference to the above matter of Char- les Slate, the Trustees undcratand that Dr. Dawson being the attending Physician at the Hospital for the month, the police were referred to him. Having met the Doctor on the street they reported the case, but he did not, on the spur of the moment. feel jus ified in admitting the patient to the Hospital without further investigation and conference wilh vue visiting Trustees. As s000 as (he latter heard of the occurranca they at once offered to admit the patient, but in (he meantime he had been admitted
to the City Hospital, While the Hospital freely admits patiente without reference to

their ability to pay, the Trustees, not being in receipt of any Government or Civic funds whatever, feel,in the exercise of their discretion as to the admission of patients, that they are solely responsible tothe con- tributors and supporters of ihe institution and not to the publicat large. The attend- ing physicians in all cases have regard to these facts. By order of the Board. D, R. Macrennay, Secretary.
