Sik,—Your editorial re Thorne Case in Thureday’s Examiner reflects unjustly on conduct of Stipendiary Magistrate Haszard in giving his decision. The only point the Supreme Court were called upon to decide was whether or not the Magis trate had exceeded his jurisdiction. They decided that he had not done so. ‘The opinions of the various Judges on the strength or weakness of the evidence, is an outside matter altogether. The Chief Jus- tice said that aithough there was some evidence of guilt, he did not think there was enough to secure a conviction; but he qualified his statement there were other considerations, such as the demeanor of the witnesses. which the Magistrate had an opportunity of observ- ‘ng, that might materially alter the case Mr. Justice Fitzgerald said that he wou!d give no Opinion as to the strength of the evidence, as it was neither necessary nor his duty to do so in giving a decision on the case presented to him. With regard to making pecuniary compensation to Chorue for his imprisonment, it appears to me that suvh an action would be wrong, inasmuch as it would be a direct insult to the Magistrate. If Scott Act offenders at- tempt to hamper justice by applications for writs of certiorari to quash convictions found against them, as they formerly did by appeala, it would “be the height of folly to give them public money to pay for such proceedings. Those of asentimenta! frame of mind are liable to be moved by references to Thorne as “the boy,”—but those who are acquainted with the young gentleman know very well that if le is “a boy,” he is no chicken. the CirizeN LET RIGHT BE DONE, Sir,—I eutirely agree with your sugges- tion in your leader of Thursday that the City Council may well consider the pro- priety of making pecuniary compensation to Thorne for the two mouths he spent in jail. The Magistrate has escaped legal liability because his conduct in the matter was beyond the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court; but this fact should nol -pre- vent the City Council from recompensing Thorne out of the Seott Act fises for the wrong that has been done him The judgment of Chief Justice Sullivan and Justice Hoagson has placed the justice of Thorne’s claim beyond controversy. These judges both say in clear and certain language that he ought never to have been convicted, while Judge Fitzgerald deeined it beyond his province Opinion, the fair inference, however, being that he was in accord with the Chies Jus- tice and Judge Hodgson on that point, so that Thorne has the unanimous opinion of the Court on the merits of his case, and that opinion is as above; but owing to a difference of opinion of the to give his Judges regarding their authority to right the wrong, Thorne cannot very well enforce his claim for false imprisonment in the courts. Let the City Connei recognize the equity of the claim aad show, by their actions, that notwithstand- ing the legal decision, they are prepared to do an act of justice. Let right and equity be done though the heavens should fal! Citizen WATERWORKS DISCUSSLON—A SUGGES- TION, Sir,—As one who buys your valuable paper every day for the information it con- tains, I protest against your space being taken up so frequently by those elderly gentlemen who are claiming credit to themselves for our system of waterworks, I think the present generation take littl stock in their pretensions, and to say t! least, their immodesty and self-conceit is over-bearing. When they advocated water- works, they claimed they did so from pure public spiritedness. Now it different, But we have to pay for it the same, and don’t care two straws who is entitled to the eredit. One thing I notice, however—that these gentlemen, in setting forth their various claims, say not a word about another gen- tleman, who, to my mind, deserves a great deal more credit than either of them, but is too modest to say a word in his own be- half. The gentleman I refer to is Mr. Thos. Morris, who from his place in the City Council persistently opposed, on every oc- casion, the ownership of the waterworks by a company, and had it not been for his firmness in that regard, we should have had, beyond a doubt, a very inferior sys- looks ry ail tem of water works, with very inferior water. Now we have the best water in the workl. I would suggest that these three elderly gentlemen arrange a meeting to be held at the pumping station, and let them invite Mr. Morris to be present; and when sembled in due form, let them drink a bumper of pure water mixei with a little of Mr. Morris’s good whiskey, and shake hands and cry quits. as CirizeEN.
