against the other side of the case such a man is a disgrace to the tho bench and the sacred ermine should be torn torii from froin his shoulders and lie he no ion lon loner longer ioner er be permitted to trail it in the mire and more mord especially when it is recollected that it was authoritatively decreed that the very same man had been guilty of a series of gross illegalities on the bench extending through a year yen r and a half during which time a number of prominent erit crit citizens had h ad been thereby put to great eat annoyance no noya yance nce uce inconvenience and ex

corrupt political adventurers in addition to detailing those eases cases his honor prefers or recites serious charges against several in municipal ini cipal officers Is this the business of a j judge a chief justice out of court too and ostentatiously also for public effect i before proceeding any ariy further 1 we may say tb that it if els eis his honor chief chie f justice mckean denies that he

why judge emerson delayed the trial of criminal eases cases was a reason connected with the prosecuting attorney and to allow the legislative assembly time to remove the tho objection which matter that body has duly comi considered dered and acted upon in the way of obviation by the by what a wonderfully tender conscience tho the chief justice has acquired of lato late in this matter of
