Show AN UNSEEMLY EXHIBITION. Tho arrc.it of Justice Durand ot Murrn) comos ft tho final climax to a long scries of ovents all ot which go to provo an nxim a little office may spoil a man. The fees ot a Justice of tho peaco In the country districts aro so small and bo far botvroon that uny thing less than a stiong character Is Mit to be tempted away from tl e strlrt lino of Justice. Tho ovldont collusion of this potty limb of the law with a certain man Luke, Is too strong to admit ot doubt. i That great injustice has been done to many people through this Is also made evident by- tho many reversals- of Pur- and's decrees by tho hlghor courts, and tho many Irregularities wMch havo boon proven against him. Ono ot three things should bo done to remedy this evil. Such a man an Lake should be dealt with tor conspiring con-spiring to Inflnenco a Justice. Tho power ot a county jnstlco and his flold of action broadened so that efficient effi-cient men could bo Induced to accept the position, or only mon of tho strongest character chosen to tho place. Such actions as hare been going on at Murray bring tho law Into disrepute. |
