the lieutcnnut governor a message from which it appears that on the subjects of the judges being commissioned to hold ol- fice during good behaviour your majestys government find there are many difficul ties to which it is apprehended this house may not have adverted and that is with a view solely to the welfare of the province anil to the impartial administration of jus- tict that your majestys government hesi tate to remove from the judges in this province their direct responsibility to the crown- upon so important a subject involving the interests the rights the liberties and the very lives of the people of this province ml becomes us with earnestness mi repeat our humble remonstrance against the pre sent state of tilings we regard with grateful recollection the memorable decla ration of his late most gracious majesty from the throne that he looked upon tie independence ami uprightness nf the judges as esseutial to the impartial administration of justice asoneof die best securities of the rights and liberties of his subjects and as most conducive to the honor of ilc crown in this respect we rejoice at the unparalleled happiness of the people of england but we cannot but feel that as a portion id yonr majestys free ami glori ous empire we also are equally interested and entitled to have justice administered amongst us by independent judges equally able to appreciate lie value of so great a blessing and disposed with constitutional iealonsv to watch over the indicia charac ter to preserve it uusuhieu by uiuui re proach and unmoved by the vindictive ex ercise of the royal preiogative by the pio- vincial authorities in this proviice it is exceedingly desira ble and even necessary that the court of kings bench shall for many tears to come he wholly composed of jinlges se lected from the english bar judges who would in that case be as free as possible from the entanglement of family eoiurc- tious tc influence of local jealousies and the contamination of provincial politics without such a change justice never can in this country be administered with purity or rise above suspicion iv expose the enormity of the transaction we humbly desire however in declare to your majesty that had the law nut placed it in the power of the local government lo avert the evils thcappreheosiou of which they effect to have influenced their conduct we would esteem those evils very subordi nate to this intimidation uf our judges by the cruel aspersion of the character and unjust ruin ol the prospects of one of their number by lle hold aud daring exerciso of arbitrary power- we had hoped that the appointment of judges from england would redeem the character uf the provincial judiciary hut that hope has heen greatly impaired by finding that such men have been esteemed by those in power loo conscientious for colonial rule although the defective con stitution of the court anil the consequent dlcgalit of its proceedings have heen knowu to the provincial government since trinity term last yet the administration of justice has not been relieved from tusscri- oiis embarrasment by the due orgauization of that court nor has his excellency heen advised to bring tiis all important state of the country under lie notice ol to recom mend it lo the cousidernticn of the pro vincial legislature e therefore iuiiot 100 earnestly express to your ma jest our deep sense of the injustice inexpediency and illegality of presisiing in the mainte nance ufthe present defective stale of the court and to represent to youi majesty the sacred duty which we feel to be impos ed upon us firmly to protect the liberties of those suitors who have heen prejudiced cither because they abstained finiu a court which tins violating law oi because they wttrc

tbe following address to his majesty to the kings vtost excellent majesty we your majestys dutiful ami loyal sub jects the commons of upper canada in provincial parliament assembled bnrohly request your royal attention to the de pendent and very unsatisfactory state nf the judiciary in this country and we further pray that our earnest wishes and solicitude expressed in this address tu we duly value the assurance of your majesty conveyed in the message of his excellency that the direct responsibili- 1 charges unknown o h got ty of our judges lo tbe crow u is enforced by your majesty only on the most serious occasions and never in respect to any act which can he properly considered judi cial but although your majesty is thus graciously pleased to declare that your majesty in the exercise of your royal pre rogative will be governed by a maxim so consonant to british justice yet that as surance while it is grounded upon the continued dependency of our judges can afford no sufficient ami practical remedy against the abuse of your majestys royal prerogative by tbe provincial aclininisira- tiou this abuse of your majestys roy al prerogative has been flagrantly mani fested by the late violent precipitate aud unjustifiable removal of tie honourable mr bench in this province the pretence for tl is almost irreparable wound for the consiiiulion appears to have been the declaration of an opiniou by that learned aud upright judge upon theeou- mlitufiol nf tl r provincial rmirl of kmi bench which opinion was evidently ex pressed to explain aud justify ins submis sion to a couscieutioiij conviction of the impropriety of knowingly proceeding in the administration uf the law iu a court not organized as the law requires by the provincial act erecting that court it is widely provided that a chief justice together with two puisue justices shall preside therein no explanation can add to the clearness of that provision so obviously conducive to the safety anil liberty of the subject and it has become our urgent duty humbly to declare to your majesty that ourduty forbids us to yield to the ailempts of the local administration to email upon us the dangerous encroach ment made in years of past misrule by es tablishing such a construction of that law ns would place the rights and liberties the property and lives of the people of this pro vince at the disposal of

from a scene by a continuance in which he must have com promised his judicial character under these ci re 1 1 instances it appears that the ex ecutive availed itself of the dependency of the judiciary and mr justice willis was unnecessarily and violently removed fivm his office because educated in no school of subservient principles he would not yield to doubtful expediency aud unlawful u- sage we are not insensible of the advantage of the provision against granting offices in your majestys colonies in america to persons resident or intending to reside in great britain a provision manifestly in tended to apply particularly perhaps ex clusively to offices which could be exer cised by deputy and therefore farmed out in the lowest bidder but it is with con cern and dismay that the people of ibis province have witnessed the perversion of law ami power for i he dangerous purpose f removing a judge whoso only ohence we believe to he h scrupulous aud cou- scieutious discharge of his judicial duty the same power which authorised the nemoval of mr justice willis supposing it to be lawful and the appointment of mr justice hagerman iu bis place might with greater facility have created a chief

daring violation of the laws and a great crowd of people was in attend ance hi the hall under the idea that be would be brought up on a habeas corpus a was suspected so it turned out that stephenson had been forcibly carried off from savannah the american of last evening says m the circumstances of stephensons seizure in georgia are these the deputy gaoler of savannah conceived tie plan of bringing him here in order to obtain the reward proffered by mr parkins of 1500 he eulisted the owner of the pilot boat in the scheme and they two with others fol lowed siepheusou lo a farm house
