hut it is quite incorreat to suppose tlmi, against the judgment sought to be annulled by (he present Bill, there is no other remedy.If the case he really such as iIih a-1vocale» (or the Bill repre-sent, the i'nvy Council will not hesitate to a-mnuUter a remedy, though the amount involved falls short of five hundred pounds sterling, the sum which ordinarily gives the right of appeal The only dilluruuce is that the Privy Council, in suoh case, must he specially moved to take cognizance of the ur Court ot Queen\u2019s Bench; and it is obvious that great caution is necessary in interfeiing with the decisions of tke pro.per tribunals ; fora majority in the Legislature, if moved by partisan, political, or religious considerations, might easily find from lime to time occasions for interference.We have not read nor seen tbe judgment which is complained of, but -ometbing must be presumed in favour of a judgement rendered by tiie Court of Queen\u2019sjiencb.* Such judgement should certainly be well looked into before an attempt is made to cancel it.Possibly* examination it may not be found so outrageous as represented.We think, therefore, the motion of the Attorney-General, to refer the petition on which the dill i> founded to the special committee appointed to inquire Into the administra non of justice, was a prudent one, and we are glad to notice that it was agreed to.Were the Legi.-lature to establish a precedent lor ike cancellation of judgments, we are ntraid tliat its friendly offices would >>e invoked in a great many instances.It is quite possible, ot course, that serious injustice may bo inflicted by a judgment, yet » great many judgments which are omplamed of are probably right enough.vVe can recall cases in which tiie judgment if the Appeal Court was openly stated to iiavo proceeded upon -\u2018plain error/\u2019 and yqi no attempt was made to get the Privy ouncil to come to me rescue.There is « Ultiouliy.too, in having a fair examination into these cases of alleged injustice.The Iudges of the Queen\u2019s Bench cannot des end to deiei.d their judgments out of \u2019ourt.Having once given their decision, -re do not sen tlmt they can bo expected o make explanations to the Local legisla- ure as to its correclnes?.The reference \u2022f the matter to the special committee may tie of use in assisting that committee in the primary object of it.-, labors, out whatevei e the result ot the investigation it may ¦ol he out of pi u-e to suggest the pro l-riety of the utmost caution in proceeding my lurtner wuh the bill in question.\u2014 Montreal Gazette., Fcx at Government Hoi se\u2014Owing to me maw of last w>-k the ekaiing party foi which seven»! lu-iies and gentlemen bail received invitations was obliged to be posi poned, and indoor amusements were ,.er toice substituted.Tbe new bail-room .vus put into requisition, aud dancing look tu* plsce of skating und curling.At six iT-lm-k a play liuti had been previously |i.>rfi>imed on New Years\u2019 Day by their Exo.-llencies children was reproduced in a ¦mall tin-utre erected iu the room adjoining the bail room.Tbe tiret senne represented the Court of i he Fairies, and when the curtain was Imwn up.Mustard Need (the Iljn.Terence Blackwood) Mpp-.-ared us Buttons to Titania Queen ot the Fairies.I luvmg dusted load tools and lit the glow-worms, ho laments ¦ver hi- hard fate in serving -so severe \u2022 mistress, but is interrupted by tbe en-i unco ol Uberon, King of the Fairies (Visit-unt Clandeboye) ;
