Aecordinfj to the Constitution you are members of that tribunal ; and it is iu that caiiaeitj- that jou are now rtspoetfully addressed. During the Session many ')ther subjoets will elaitn your attention, 'iiid you may be more or-Tess iiicapacitate 1 from a((|uiriiig all the infortnatioh. tjiat may be indispensable to the per- formance ofthe duties ^.hieh the Constitution, from a due regard for the rights of y^n.r fellow* titizeas, imposes on you. The comlitlon of .Qiirropresentntive system 'too is peciriirtrlyitnfavf»rable to those unhappy men eoni])osing tiiC Anglian minority in this section who may elaim at your hanils relief from opprcfsion. How — as in reference to this subject I liave been frequently told, — hosv can the couductof any Judge or of all the Judges in the Province of Quebec, interest any part of the population of the western extremiiyof the Province of Ontario, or of the opposite end of the Province of New Urunswiclf. The j'or'.'c of this observation cannot be denied; but there is a wide difl'er- enco between tlm people and their represt'-ntatives. By election the representative uoquire-i rights, it is true ; but election also invposes duties, lie is thereby constituted a Judge of the Judges, and to him abne fan those who are oppress'""d to the Penitentiary, no representative of the people can without disgrace affect ind' icrence to the subject. It is true that lie may not have an immediate, still less a persoi.al interest in the raatler, but it is as iucumbcnl oii hin» ( > iiuililate an enqiur^' into the truth of the charge or clmrge.-' preferred against a Judge as to provide for the support of his family, if he have a tiimily. Both duties are the iiecessai-y consequences of his own acts, for in the case supposed he chose to have a family as Ii j chose to become arcjire-ientative, and as such a guardian of the rights and liberties of the- ])e«ple, and of all (he people — 'as nUicJv of the people of the other sections, ais of that of which he is a ivpresentative. Hoping that ft is unnecessary to enlarge upon this subject to induce every representative who is a m.iuof pringiple and inlelligence.to receive in a ^iroper spirit any accusa- tion whieh may boproleiTed hgJiinst a Judge, 1 would refer tn the peculiar condition of the Judi- ciary in the Province of (Jiicbec. Those who jieruse the newspapers juiblishfed in this section, must be aware that upon this subject great dissatisfactiou prevails.und that the Court of Queen's liench [which is the Court of Appeal, and which also excrcisojicrimiiml jurisdiction,] is more particularly open to objpPtioii. AVithoiitat jiresent dwelling upon those comidaints, and oi.ly instituting a cgmparison between the Judiciary (>f Ontario, who are justly held in iMHrfound resp;>ct, invdfhat part of the Judiciary of (Quebec to which I have inlvertcl, who aroexecralcil, I would how- rcifer.TO.a fltct which may or may not be genej-ally known, but wluch is iiin'^t important.
