The World takes up the comment of the Whig, that expert fire service can- not be expected from men who are paid less than the current wage of labourers. The more one reflects up- on the findings of the fire committee, whith enquired into the recent piano factory conflagration, the more he feels presuaded that they are of no account. It is not at all clear what the judgment of the committee is. The fire chief wants more men and better apparatus, The committee is careful not to commit itself very much along this line, but it is quite certain' that there should be some limit as to the age of the men who constitute the fire brigade. That is the main point. An investigation by the judge, with pow- er to summon as witnesses the men not tender who did their eviaence, would have determined whether the department was lax or faulty in its methods attacking a fire, but the discipline' and equipment would remain an open question. What does the department want ? Reorganization, of question of or better apparatus, both? Who can settle this issue ? If the firemen are inefficient the city If the fire equipment is incomplete and deficient the fact should be made known. Will the new fire committee, to whom the previous or should know it. legacy of a forlorn report has left, a dying council, been consent of any wiser than the committee that preceded it? Are our firemen drilled daily, and made fit «for active service ? Are they paid as. well as they with the unanimous be should, and as ath- letes and men of nerve desire ? There of get- ting at the truth, and the expert ad: vice of a recognized authority, from some neighboring city, might be should be some way of great assistance. THE PEOPLE WILL RULE.

Of the Form Given in the Ontario Statutes. At the Board of Trade meeting last evening, H. W. Richardson, president, stated that the "slovenly'" manner in which the Wormwith ballot had been prepared was one cause of the by- law's defeat. Many people were unable to distinguish one by-law ballot from the other. City Clerk Sands, when seen this morning, stated that the ballot was a fac-simile of the one shown in the On- tario statutes, He followed the sta- tutes carefully in the preparation of the various ballgts, and had no auth- ority to add extra words to them. The Wormwith bailot was on yellow paper, and quite distinguishable from the roads' by-law paper which was white. He didn't see that there was any ground for complaint. At Wild Rose, Sask.

The first of our judges was in some Osgoode's name has justly perpetuat- ed in the Ontario law courts at To- | ronto. His origin is wrapped in mys- tery, beyond that he was born in England in 1754 in the reign of George 11. He was called to the bar of Lincoln's Jon, 1779. He seems to have taken naturally to his profession and to have early dis- tinguished himself. Already in 1779 he published a work, . 'Remarks on the Laws of Descent," which was well thought of, and procured him his position afterwards in Canada. At the time the king had much to say {in colonial appointments, and in his case George TI] made a wise appoint- ment, as he dfd in that of, Simcoe, whom Osgoode accompanied, as chief legal adviser of the crown.

In August, 1792, Chief Justice Os- goode presided at the courts of Oyer and Terminer and General Jail De- livery at Kingston. He had as as- sociates Richard Cartwright and Hec- tor McLeod, justices of tne common pleas of the district. The most im- portant case tried was that for the murder of an Indian. named Snake. Osgoode presided for the last time at a eriminal court in Upper Canada at Cornwall in 1794. A prisoner was trjed for murder, but was found guil- ty. of manslaughter and condemned "to be burnt in the hand," which sentence was then carried ont in the | court. Branding, whipping and ban- ishment were then common forms of | punishment. t only aid Justice {Osgoode formulate several wise laws, {but he also suggested the abolition {of slavery in the colony of Canada. Though his term was short in the | upper province there is no doubt that he and Simcoe worked together |for the establishment of British law. | He camg with Simcoe and stayed with him until transferred to Lower -Can- | ada. In 1801 Osgdode leit Canada, | having retired, and returned to Lon don, where he died in 1824, aged eighty. After his return to London he. lived in Chambers at the Albany Club, his neighbor being Lord Byron.
