A magistrate looks to one of three sour- ‘ for his pay. He is paid a salary. by the: the municipality or the government, else he receives the fees chargeable on e (23:83 that come before him, just as do tices of the peace. In places of ï¬ve usand inhabitants and under, it there it magistrate, his salary is ï¬xed by the ncil and may be altered by that body i any time. Those having over ï¬ve and it more than six thousand are directed r statute to pay $800, and those above at number $1000. Other sums are indi- ted for large cities. In some instances '3 ROVernment ï¬xes and pays the salaries self. In case the magistrate is appointed without salary“ he is permitted to retain le dues levied according to a statutory hedule. which dues under other circum- Mces £0 to the municipality. Int'ne light of the foregoing remarks 3 rief analysis of the magistracy in Ontario P? be intelligible. There are in this pro- mcelll magistrates.

In most of them the appointments are of comparatively recent date. The following important towns pav no salary: Paris, Galt, Collingwood, Deseronto, Napanee, Brampton and Oshawa. Towns, our own and others of similar size that pay salaries and the amounts they pay, may be interesting for the sake of comparison with Lindsay : Peterboro .................. $1200 Woodstock. ................ . 1200 Trenton ..................... 600 Port Hope, 800, pays only.. 600 Orillia ............ ‘ .......... 400 Owen Sound ...... ‘ .......... 1 000 Lindsay ..................... 800 With regard to Port Hope the ofï¬cial return says the salarypaidis$860 buta letter received from the Mayor of that town states that they have had the amount reduced to $600. It is worthy of remark that Lindsay is the only place concerning which the return prefaces the the amount payable with the words “not to exceed.†They are words of great signiï¬cance at the present juncture. The fact that the magistrate for Galt was appointed in January without salary and for Lindsay in February with salary is evidence that at the pre‘ sent time both systems are in vogue with the government.. Further' mo re the fact that the statute requires towns of Lindsay‘s population to pay $1000 and yet an appointment is made on the condition that the salary shall not exceed $800. indicates that the govern- ment does not take the statute seriously. â€THE THREE METHODS OF PAYMENT. Both the manner of appointment and the method of payment have been under dis- cussion. It has been thought by some that all magistrates would be better appointed by the municipal councils. In opposition to that method it is urged that local feeling would enter into the matter and there would be too much room for wire-pulling- ‘The majority is likely favorable to the present system of appointment since it is largely removed from the local arena. Lindsay's experience with its ofï¬cials under municipal control, lends force to this view. With regard to the method by WhICh the magistrate should be paid there is probably not such general agreement. The three systems, at present in vogue, are all Open! to more or less objection. In the majority l of cases, as shown by the foregoing table, 1 the magistrate is appointed without salary and receives only the fees attached to the different cases coming before him. Many people maintain that this is the only proper method. It has one very serious defect however. There are some thirteen items from which fees arise in the duties of a magistrate. As may be expected certain of these are for services in connection with convictions. As a matter of fact about 25 per cent. of the fees are so connected. In cases where no conviction is made these fees are not chargeable. So that it is to the magistrate‘s ï¬nancial interest to ï¬nd as many people guilty as possible. This is a very undesirable state of affairs since it provides an inducement to convict that should not exist. and is unfair to the person on trial. It appears evident that the decis- ions of a magistrate should have no relaâ€" tion at all to the amount of his pay. We never want to come before a judge who proï¬ts by our conviction. The salary system is not open to this objection, but as at present administered - I 2‘ -‘h mknn fhn [Jun “0 we; v' -_.- never want to come before ajudjze who proï¬ts by our conviction. The salary system is not open to this objection, but as at present administered it is not tree from defects. When the municipality pays the salary the peculiar condition is created of one authority ap- pointing an ofï¬cer and another paving him. It is a good old-fashioned idea that people like to have the hiring of the ser- vants whose salaries they pay. When the government both makes the appointment and pays the salary, as is done in some ten cases the objection mentioned above, dis- appears, but a new one arises. These ten salaries are paid from the general fund, so that the entire province contributes to them. As a result other places pay both their own magistrate and assist to pay these ten as well. The injustice is appar- ‘ ent. -- -_-_ “n-4,"... nf enc. It seems then that the proper system of 1 paying police magistrates is not any easy ‘ thing to ï¬nd, and in three distinct attempts ‘ the Ontario government has failed to ï¬nd it. It may be hoped that the government's whole administration is not so confused and defective as that part pertaining to police magistrates. Since the fee system is vicious,and it is not desirable that muni- cipalities should appoint their own magis- trates it seems that the third method is the proper one if universally applied. That 1 is to say,let the government pay the salar- ies of the ofï¬cials appointed by it, and make that the rule in every place so that the salaries could be paid from the pro- vincial treasury with no injustice to any section of the province. This method would (Lb Avuuv 'V' -n would do away with the present confusion. ‘WITH REGARD TO LINDSAY Lindsay has had four police magistrates. The ï¬rst, the late Mr. Jas. Dunsford was ‘ appointed on the 28th of April, 1875, or just 25 years ago. Mr. Arthur O’Lcary took the ofï¬ce in November, 1882, and ten years later Mr. J. D. McIntyre was appointed and held it until his recent elevation to the position of judge of On- tario county, when he was succeeded in the magistracy by Mr. W. Steers, the ‘present ofï¬cer. The former incumbents ireceived $1000 a year, but Mr. Steers has lbeen appointed with directions to the town that his salary is not to exceed $800. I In 1397 the number of cases that came oooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooo before the magistrate was 116. His salary 0f $1000 a year gave him about $9 a case. In ’98 the cases were six less but the con- victions exactly the sameâ€"97. We are informed that roughly speaking the sta- tutorv fees would average $3.50 in each case followed by a conviction and $2.50 in those where no conviction followed. On that basis the income of a magistrate “without salary" in this town would have been 8340 in ’97 and $325 in '98. As a matter of fact, the fees and ï¬nes both in these years were $172.80 and $172.95 respectively. It is explained that the magistrate on salary need not levy the full fee and the town treasury surfers while the culprits rejoice greatly. \Ve under- stand that Mr. Steers has charged the full amount of fees pertaining to the cases that have come before him, so that the town will receive a larger revenue than formerly from this source. In this Mr. Steers is to be commended. The administration of justice cost this i town $2,140.50 in '97 and $2,147 in '98. For, the trival ï¬nes and small number of cases these are large sums but it is better to1 have the law kept than to have penalties imposed. When the council of the city of Hamilton recently complained to Magis- trate J elts. of that city, because his .flnes had dropped from $5,000 to $2,000 in three years. Mr. J elfs replied: “I am glad of it. That our city has improved in its morals and is no longer the stamping-ground for the lawless element is a thing I am prouder 0! than that we should have to collect heavy ï¬nes." That is good sentiment. It is a matter of congratulation that the order of our town is such that the fees ‘ and fines together amounted to less than W173 in a year. The magistrate in Lind- say could not work for the fees alone. They are too insigniï¬cant, and wholly out Of Draportion to the qualiï¬cations re- quired. At the same time the salary ouRht 0°†to be wholly out of proportion to the work entailed. The good order of the town should surely result in some decrease in the cost of administeringjustice. This is the sentiment underlying the present agitation for a reduction of the magis- taate's salary. The idea that the magis- trate ought to be well paid is no less. because the idea that the salary ought not to be exorbitant has made headway. In the calm, unprejudlced judgment ot'98 council ata time when the ofï¬ce of magistrate was vacant, the sum of $500 was an equit- able remuneration for the work reqired. The present council has re-aflirmed that' conviction and in this opinion, public senti- ment sustains them. Since, as has been shown throughout this article, the statute regarding salaries is a dead letter and ‘the government itself does not con- form to it even roughly, it is not amiss to assume that it is not binding on this town and presents no barrier to reducing the salary if it appears wise to do so. Furthermore the government hasâ€"pro- bably as a concession to our appealsâ€" omitted to ï¬x the salary that this town shall pay and in place of that merely names a maximum and says it is “not to exceed $800." What amount below that maximum it shall be we think the town council is, therefore, free to determine and we trust that that body will at an early date announce that it can provide no larger sum than $500 for the, salary of police magistrate for this town.
