"The speech from the Throne" in common with all such literature, was full of emptiness. The exceed- ingly delicate manner in which some topics of interest are touched indicates that feelers will be thrown out for the single purpose of smooth- ing if possible the rough way over which the government will have to travel when they gain present themselves for re-election. A kind of suppressed wail over the general distress pervaded the "speech" and b some meaningless wishes were ex- 7 pressed that the distress might be ; lessened, but there was not the first hint of any effort to bo made on the part of the government to accomplish so desirable an object. -- The House wns only fifty minutes in session.

Mr. Frasor followed. Iedid his best to defend the Government in when it is considered bow there was to reply to. The member for Elgin soconded the motion for the reply but the mover had so wrought up and ex- tracted the little grain from the much chaff out of the speech that the seconder was left without a peg to ' hang an argument on it he had one and he had to be satisfied with a few platitudes. Mr. Meredith, leader of the Op- position, briefly reviewed the speech even their greatost extrava gances. He declared that *'it would be mon- strous to reduce official salaries" and clinched his pro-extravagant re- marks by the highly logical "two blacks make a white" argument "that the members of the Local Legislature areas well entitled to $800 a session as the members of the Dominion house have to $1000,-- The interests of the country or the not criticising its contents, for it contained nothing but referring to the total absence of any indication of any measure of importance, Mr. Meredith's reference to the imper- ative demand for retrenchment was in order and it is to be hoped will go further than talk.

But, "whom the gods would de- stroy they first render mad," look at the member for North Ontario for instance he has Just come from the midst of an industrious, intelligent active constituencywho all know and experience the mischievous effects of the long continaed, disastrous rule of the Mowat Government ; and almost the first breath he draws on returning to the House is to give his vote to prolong so far as his vote will go, the wasteful, sinister rule of Mr. Mowat & Co.

In our remarks on the late muni- cipal contest in Brock we should have stated that there was no con- test for the position ot 1st D. Reeve. Mr. Cunningham and Mr. T, H, Glen- dinning bad been both nominated for the position but the latter bad been nominated in his absence and 80 soon as he learned of the fact he let it be known that he ould not oppose Mr. Cunningham and re- quested the Returning officer to withdraw his name.but the law will not allow any name to be taken oft the list of nominees after the expir ation-of the hour appointed for receiving nominations, so that Mr. Glendinning's name had to ke put on the ballot papers, but he let it be known that he was not a candidate.

Trans Atlantic news is a little tame these times ) commercial and manufacturing dis- tress are still on the increase throughout Britain and a large portion of the European continent. The semi.despotic governments of Europe are trembling in their boots, they are actually afraid of their own shadows; the very name of internationalist, socialist, or communist throws them into hysterics ; they are seeking the strongest concentration of law to suppress evéry vestige of popular freedom and thus hurrying up the grand issue when freedom's sons shall beard the tyrants and force from their unwilling grasp that liberty and ficedom which belongs no less to the peasant {han the king. In Eastern Europe there is an unsatisfac- tory calm, a breathing time, the actors are resting while the scenes are being shifted to allow the farce to proceed.

This case was tried at the sittipg of the County Court held at Whitby in June last when a verdict of $80 was given for' the plaintiff: the facts ofthe case were, the plf T P. White, Esq., of Pickering, had in- fringed the Weights and! Measures Act for which he was summoned before the def. in June 1877, and after several adjourn- rents was fined $10 and costs. Against this convictien Mr White appealed. Pending the appeal "Mr. Nott issued a distress warrant and upon ita horse of White's was seized and sold, the appeal fo the Sessions went on and the conviction was quashed, whereupon the present action was brought for damages. On the trial it came out in evidence that in issuing the distress warant Mr, Nott' did so upon the advice of a lawyer, this evidefice was offered in answer to the charge of malice. On cross examination the plain- tiff 'admitted he had infringed the Act, on this Mr Paterson, -as counsel for the def, argued that under the Act for the protection of J. P's the verdict could only be 3 cents without cost. hix Honor Judge Burnham, held otherwise, a verdict for $80 was given by the jury, they also finding the pif was guilty of the offence' charged against him. On the latter finding Mr Nott's counsel moved in term to reduce the verdict to 3 cents, After the argument His Honor up- held the finding of the jury, Judgment was not given until November last, So confi- dent was the def's counsel in his view of the law that he advised his client to carry the entered into for that purpose, the plr's counsel requested time to consider and now the case has been avandoned by the pif, np. on the advice of his counsel that the def must succeed in appeal, the effect being that Mr. White's verdict is 1educed to 3 cents without any cost. The case is the first of the kind in this country and is therefore deserving of public notive.-- It is seldom that a suitor is to be found having the pluck to carry a case involving novel points of law to the highest court, but Mr. Nott having the fullest confidence in his counsel's opinion readily did as advised, and finally carried his point. Com The above is highly creditable to Mr, Paterson as a reliable legal adviser and skillful practitioner in securiug a sucessful issue.
