 th.it he had been nnwirily led into the Adoption of it by feme Petfon who was determined, ti 
 he had Influence fnflicient, to bring the whole Proceeding into Contempt. 
 
 His Majcfty's Council have fince refufed us the Opportuity of fubflantia tin; the Teftimony 
 we gsve before the Houfe— h».Te undertaken to try the [udgec without examining a fmgle Wit- 
 ncfs— and on the fole Credit of their own AflTertions have not only acquiiteo them but have 
 endeavored fo far as their Credit would go with the Public, to (aften on us the Im- 
 putation of bringing forward falfe and fc;>ndaious Charges againA faid fudges : And not con- 
 t.-nt with this flagrant Aft of Injuftice, they have not rtopped here, but when conflrained by 
 the Principles of Self-defence and a Regard to our Reputations with our Fellow- Citizens, to 
 come forward in our own Vindication, tliofe Judges, who by accepting fuch a Mode o£ 
 Trial had d«ftroyed all the little Remains of Confidence a Part of the Community yet had ia 
 them, have deprived as of the Profeflions to which we were bred, in which we were eflablilhed, 
 and had, as we flatter ourfelves, conduftcd with Integrity and Honor. 
 
 It lias been fuggefted by fome, that it is true we originally rtood in the Light of Witneflfes : 
 But that by coming forward with a Memori'l to the Governor on the Subjeft we made our- 
 felves Principals, by taking up a Matter which belonged to the Houfe only. But whoever con- 
 fiders that the Judges and their Friends, had from very improper Motives, impreflVd the Public 
 with 'he Opinion that the Addrefs of the Houfe was procured by our Application and ground- 
 ed folsly on our Teftimony, that the King's Reprefentative exprefly informed us that he wa» 
 taught to believe that to be the Cafe and that thi Council were about to try them only on our 
 Information, muft fee the Impropriety of our fufTering him to art under that Deception, and 
 whoever confiders the Importance of the Subjert, muft alfo fee the Propriety of our not truftinj 
 to a verbal Communication of it which might have been either mifapprehended or forgotton : 
 Befides the exprefs Obje<ft of the Memorial was to inform the Governor that we were not Prin- 
 eipaU in the Bufinefs, but merely WitnelTes. We were alfo vrell informed, long before the 
 extraordinary Pccree of the Council made its Appearance what the Majority had refolved up- 
 op, even one of the Parties concerned in the Decilion, had been incautious enough in pretty plain. 
 Terms to boift of it. We further knew from good Authority that one of the new made Coun- 
 fellors W.I. foifted into that Body not for his own Sake, as cne of his Honorable Colleagues ex- 
 prifTed it, but for the Purpofe of trying the fudges, and we hid not the fmalleft Doubt but that 
 their Acquittal was Part of a Syf>em which was then fecretly concerted, but has fince in fome 
 Degree been laid open to the Public. Add to this that the fame new made Counfellor had di- 
 reitly coritr.try to the Truth of Fails, and his own Knowledge, declared that the Member wlio 
 made the Motion in th? Houfe of Alfembly for an Enquiry into the Condudl of the Judges had 
 •xprefly ftatcd that he mide it at our Inflance, that the Houfe in their Addreii 
 »&ed in Confsquence of our Information only, and that he had given his Opinion oa 
 the Merits of ths '.Jueflion in the moll decided Terms. Could we under thofe Circum- 
 ftinces do lefs thm flate fuch of thofe Faftj to the Governor as we thought material ? 
 Where we not bound to do it for our own fakes i" WouM it net have been faid, and with Juf- 
 tice, that the Council were milled, and that we had by our Ccndudl countenanced tlie Impofi- 
 tion, had wefutfered them to proceed without giving the Information contained in our Memo- 
 rial ? And (hould we not have been treated by the Council in the fame Manner we have been, i£ 
 we had never interfered ' For to fuppofethat our Memorial induced them to decide differently, 
 from what they would have done, is at once admitting them to liaveadlod from the mod unbe- 
 co ning Motives. 
 
 Thus f.tr every Man of Senfe and Candor, we hope, will juflify our Condurt. The next 
 Step we took w^s, after th; Council had fulminated their woile than inquifitorial Senrence of 
 Cofidemndiion againft us, which appears to have liad lor ito Ot>jcifl, as much the Di-rtruiflioa 
 of our Charaifltis as falvinc; the Reputation of thj Judi;ci : Couid we, in Judice to ourfi-lvrj, 
 futTer thjt to paf» unnoticed, when we had the Mcansof Pef;.r.ci and i'rcf.rv.ition in our I'ow. 
 tr ' To h.ive hcfitated for a Moment in co:nhating it, would have IjCtn to have .ntquiefced iii

 four Gent'emen only but four hundred. • , 
 
 There arc two | nncipal liuellions on which the Meritt of the Appeal will be bcfl confidereJ ■. 
 l(\. Who are the Authors of the Accufations of the Judjei : Or in other Wordt,^ whofeTel'- 
 timony was the Addrefs of the Houfc founded ? 
 
 idly. Are the Cafes, cited by Mclf rs Surm and TjyLr before the Houfc, fairly flated, ar.cl 
 do they prove the Char;e-i made by tlii;m. 
 
 It is Imniatciia! to coniider whether MeflTrs. Srerm and Taylor are to be viewed in the Light 
 of WitnelTes, called before the Houfe of Aflfenibly to give Evidence, or whether they wtrc nor 
 Volunteers on the Occalion ; bccaufe their Crime is not tliat they have giren TelliTony, but 
 in having tertified falfely or impertintntly. I believe, however, if it were n^celfary, it rould be 
 cafilv proved that the Accufation wa3 concerted at Mr. ifr.-rm'i Houfe, and the Manner of bring- 
 ing it forward in the Afleiijiy^, as wJl a$ the Mode in whxh it was to be fupported, there 
 fettled and agreed on. 
 
 In Or er to determine the fir,1 Que'iion, little more will be necclTary than to look into the 
 JournalSi,of the Houfe, and its Addrefs to the Governor. 
 
 The Affgnibly met the 25th of October, and after it had been fitting more than a Month, and 
 after one or two fruidefi Attempts had been made to cenfure the Judges, ft'.ajoT M l/eiif^e. Mem- 
 ber for D'lgbf, moved, t at the Houfe flioul.t refolve itfeif into a Committee on the InveiVgaiioa 
 of Fafts, which, he faid, had occafioned Dilfatisfatlions in the Province relative t ■ the Admini- 
 ftrntion of Juitice in the Supreme Court, This Motion was agreed 10, and, at the Inflance of 
 the Maker of it, the Cle.k was rielired to rcqueft MelT'rs. ^nm: and Tay/r, Attormcs cf that 
 Court, to attend the Committee the next Day. Mr. h^^i, another Attorn. y, v^as alfo defirtd 
 to atttnH, but W.1S njt examined. Mr. Stcrm, as the leading Acculer, was hril called in, and 
 entertained the Committee for fe.eral Hours, as wdl on that as tl.e Day foUowin,;, witli a Hif- 
 tory of CaCes tried in the ^uprsme Court to prove the Ma'-conduft in Office of th; Judges, 
 and their Want of Inte^rty ; after his P.xaniin ition was hnilhcd, th.- Acco'jnt he had given w.is 
 read to him, and he was delircd to put hts Name to it, which he did. J he Commitf e, \v(ay 
 of the Bufmtfs, and impatient from the length of Tin e be(lov.-ed on it, defireJ Mr. Tnyii' 
 might be requerted to pu^ what he had to allcdge upon Paper, snd to bring it to the > cmmi'-- 
 tee, which he did, and on the 3Cthof November they reported to t'le Houfe the I xaminations ol' 
 MeJT'rs Sterm and Taylor, "at the Narrath't of the I'.u^i ff-.y hjd ini^-ni^aifil,'" and wliich they 
 fuhmitiod without any Judgment or refolution whatever thereon. Anotlvcr Motion was thcii 
 made by Major M. Hedge, that a Committee diould be appointed to pr.-pare an Addrefs to his Ex- 
 cellency the Litut,'ia>'t-Go-vermr on the Subjeft, and to rtqutft he would .'dopt fuch Meafurrs 
 thereon as he fhould think juft and right. The Addrefs was accordingly prepared, in which the

 . am but little acqu in-ed with Mr. Taylor, and do not recollet'l to have converfed with hin>, 
 at any inie, on t!ie Conduit ;n Office of the judges of the Supreme Couit j fo that he can have 
 no . uiencL' to quote my Sayings or Oi>inions. 
 
 ith Mr. Sterns 1 have *• l-cretof'.re" lived in Habits of Intimacy, and have been often ptftered 
 bv hiin w th ^urgtllions, that the Judges were coi ruptly partial in tlie Decifion of Caufes brought 
 betor.; then ; but i have no Recolleifliun of having ufed the Kxprerti ns againll ther.i, ftattd by 
 t!i Nieiiic.rlal.ftt, or in 'eed any ot like import. I perfcdlty rccollcd>, and fo fhould Mr. Sti.rn?,

 judijv.- wee >o rupt, or i« any Degree criminally partial ; and until I was convinced tliey were 
 10, 1 would r.ot be ome their Accufer, cr ngagein any Attempt to remove them. 
 
 When ih'.- Bu finer v^ as broui-ht for war- n a fecret Committee of the Houfc of Aflenibly, and 
 whe ., inft ad oi efta' IKbing .iny Colour of Guilt againll them, a String of garbled Law Cafts

 tr at d, that i had not a L oubt of thtlr Innocence, and jvculd, if rcquefted, molt willingly ad- 
 voeitc their Caufc before any 'liibunal in which 1 could be ferviceable to them. 
 
 i h.ft are Ifill my ientiin. nts ; but their Caufe requiiet no Advocate ; for the Futility of th« 
 CI ar II is o' vious on theiace of them, and the Anfwers of the Judges form fo clear and fatis-

 Ni^m'.nt entertain Doubts of it. 
 
 if c^. . t ons of a criminal Nature had been, or could be fairly fubrtantiated againfl them, 
 thae is n': ftian in tiK rrorinct who would be moie delirous than myfclf to effeft their Removal ; 
 but, i^x.,ifit as I am of their Innocence, 1 think it my Duty to afford tiicm all t!ie Aid in my

 tinned liis Name to every Sentence it conrans. 1 hat unfairnefi and equivocat on whiLh Mrk 
 every I'art of the i.'onduf> of a certain Gentleman liigh in (Jthcc in this I'rovince are fo coif. i. 
 cuoui ill this I'erformancs a-, to leave no Room for u< or ttic Public to doubt v» ho is its ■. ur'^or, 
 or that h;; inieht, with mucli in, irc propriety, have take.a the Signature of I'Jain fallhood, than 
 the one he has alFunud. 
 
 As he liai rtcp'd forth the avowed Champion of the Council and the Juftices, we thin'< our- 
 felves w.. antid in prefumuig he has the r Authinty for bringing them tefore the I nbunal of 
 the Public, and (hall therefore take the Lihcrty of examining the (.'ondiift of bothwith a IJeiree 
 of Fre!jdox wj before piirpofely avoided, our Objett then being only to fet our ownOonducV in 
 fuch a Light as to enable the Public to c'^Cide impartially between us and the other rarties con- 
 cerncd in this Tranfaclion, or in the cxjant Phrafe of our Author, to place the saddle on the 
 right Horfc. 
 
 The great Objea before the Public is to determine. Whether there hath cxifted probable Caufe 
 for fufpeftinp the Juftices of His Majcllys Supreme Court of malrerfation in Office i' And whe- 
 ther the Decifion of the Council hath removed, or ought to remove that Imputation ? 
 
 Our Author has overlooked thefe Obje'fs ';ntirely, and feenis only intent on tiaducinf cur 
 Charafters, and endaevo'ing to prove, that the Juftices were accufed by us, and not by the Houfe 
 of Aflembly. His Production bcinp too contemptible to merit a particular Anfvvcr, to every 
 Part, we (hall contetit ourftlves with giving to the Public a (hcrt Account of the Origin of the 
 late Proceedings of the Houfe of AiremSly rtfpefiing the Admimftration of Juftice, in the su- 
 preme Court, To far as thev an; within our Knowled^iC, recapitulating the Mcafures taken by the 
 Council in Confequence of it, and remarkin; on fome few Things contained in this Publication. 
 
 For a Ion : Time paft great Uifcontents have fublifted at the Par, and in the Country at lar^e, 
 with the Adminiftration of [ uftise in the Supreme Court : All the Gentlemen of the Law with 
 whom we have converfed, and we have converfed with moft of thofe in any exte' t of Practice, 
 have agreed fome Remedy was neceflary for the Evil, but no one thoug,ht proper to fttp forward 
 as the Champion cf the i'ub'ic on the Occafion, forefeeinjr the Difficulty which would attend it : 
 r.ut to fuch a Height dd th; OilTatiifaftion arife during the Sitting of faid Court in uly laft, 
 tliat fcv-ral of the Mcn-.ber, of the Houfe of Affcmbly communicated with us, of their own mere 
 Motjon, long before the laft Seflion of that Houfe, on the Subjcft, and informed us oftlie r in- 
 tention to move for tlie Knquiry which was afterwards inftituteJ in the Houfe : Wc arc re .dy 
 to own, that the Propofal niclour moft hearty Approbation t That we then thought a'd do ^ 
 ftlll think, it was a Meafiire liii>h'y necelfary lor the general VVe'fare of the Province, and tliat 
 if we had been Members of that Koufe, we fhould moft certainly e ther have brought ; or-.vard 
 cr fupportod the Motion which was m ide by the Honorable .ind worthy iV ember f:er.i L-i^by, 
 whole upright and independent Conduit in his Legillative Capacity, docs him thehig e('. Ciedit. 
 But wiien Mr. Plain Truth alferti, t'lat the Accufation was conceited -t the Houfeof Mr. turns, 
 an 1 the Mode of conducing it ajieed on there, he has moft egregioufty deviated Ironi tae Line 
 of I'lain Triith r.nd Fac>, and fuft.tuted Conjecture and lallhod in their ftcad. 
 
 This Relatijn we have thought proper to lay before the i'ublic, notbecaulo weconcelve it vsry 
 nureri.ll who firft originated the Accufation of the judge., but becaufr v/e are perfectly willing 
 to have t\-erj P.irt of cur Conduit in this rra'-'"i£Uon l.-iid open to the- Wold. Ho.vever our 
 Autl.or in hi^ Zc.!, feems not to have <lifcovered the hitjation into which he has l.roukilii his ' 
 Friends by att.:mpi'n,c: to eitablilh tlie Accufation of the Judges .ts .-.n Adt of ours : If tlut Is i;i 
 Fa£t the Caff, we have be^n mofi cruelly treated by the Council, in heinj precluded from an 
 Opportunity of fubft^ftiiilng our own Charges. If wc fl.'.nd in the Ui^lit 1 lain Truth would

 We are next told, that the otiicr tvio I'crfons mentioned in the Memorial, " on a ful liearlnr, 
 and mature Confidtration of tlu while Cafe, joined with the " reft of His Majeftys Caun Jl in 
 " the mad explicit Declaration, that the Allcjiationi made to the Houfcof Afferab'y ircgr'.uid. 
 *' Ujf aid ftiindahas :" And becaufe we have attempted to find fault wiib the iJctermin^tion 
 of the Council, he hii brought in the Caic of a 1-ulon convicted of a Forgery in order to eljci- 
 tiate the rifpcflivc Situations of the Attornty-Ceneral, (who is thePerfonhe mud mean, thouj^h 
 there is an innaccuracy in the Fxprcffion) and us, and tlie fuppofed >tate of our Minds en this 
 Occalion. Mr. Blower; reprefentj the Magiftrate : we the fekn ; and what is very extraor- 
 dinjiry about this worrhy MasjKlrate is, that when the Bone' ; tirft flicwn him, lie did not ap- 
 prehtnd any Forgery ; it really ap;>eared to liim to be tlie hand Writir.g of the Perfun under 
 whofc Kamtir appeared : And here as it toocftcn the Cafe with Magitlrates of hil Dtfcription, 
 1e made the poor Man thinlfchimfelf quite fecure, and that he had no furti cr Uilficulty to ap- 
 rrt-licrH. Thi next News the .Man h.'ars, is That he is to be hanged fi;r forgery, and tiiat the 
 J> ty ol Execution is named. He complains to tlieMajirtrate — he charges him with aflingwitli 
 d:;phcity : the Magiilrate replies, the I'eifon whofe Name is to the Bond, has been with me, 
 irij u'ciiics the Signiture to be his Hand-writing, and though he by that Denial gets ri(* of the 
 Cbligat;,:..! li; woulil othervirife be under to pay it, yet as that is fie Cafe you ftand conviiSedof 
 l-o!j;t'y, I would advifcyou to make a peaceable Exit. '1 he poor Man pleads the Laws of his 
 Co;,.i£r/, \?!i;ch f-^rbid that any one (hould be condemned unheard j avers he can prove, by Wit - 
 ni.;\s tt-|;o law the Pond executed, thai it is the Aft and Deed of the Perfon whofe Name isfub- 
 i; l.od to ir ; but i- is to no riirpofe, he is told Judgment is pronoonced, and that Execution 
 niu'i M,l!<jv,v, Th( Condua of this Magiftrate here in fome Refpefts refembles tire Duplicity of 
 oui- \' t.'iofc C^cntl'men named in our Memorial though it by no Means comes up to it j for we 
 av.v, and «re able to prove, that no Man has hereftoore been more explicit or pointed in hi? 
 C;nfure of the Ccnduift of thofe [ud.;es, than that Gentlfman, or has more uniformly dcdareii 
 his Willi for, and h'.« Intenfions to effeft their Removal from Office. Perhaps being made a 
 CouiuVlIor has altered his Mind : The Bond may now appear to be Forget y, and the fudges 
 •ompetent to tiicir Ofiices. Things do fcmetlmes appear different in different bituations. 
 
 Our next Para^-raph begins with an c!d Proverb, which nobody will controvert : To wh-ch 
 o' i!ie Parties in this Bufinefs it appHcs, a little Time will difcover : — The next Sentence we 
 ^Ub adm't to be Plain Truth, viz. '» That the Authors of the Appeal mnft reft their Caufe on 
 *' tlv: immutable I>a\vs of Truih and Juflice." This is whatwc hare ever wilhcd, and it is not 
 our Fault that a dark and left handed Road lr<s been purfued ; by the Truth or Falliiood of ths 
 Fr.ifls vre have adduced, as Witneffts, we are ready to fland or Jail ; for their Weight or Kele- 
 t'.nncy we ars mt refponfible ; if they want cither, the ReHeftion fallsonthe Hou eof Afllmbly. 
 I'jt r.ow:ver, we caonot help remail-ing here, that if the Allegations, on which the Council 
 Ji.ne il^.-'(!ed, were in their real Opinioii <ithtr falfje, fr.volousor irrelevant, they feem fufficient. 
 ly wi Jiij.ofed tow.irds the fudges to havepublifticd themtothe World 5 they would havepi'-t

 J .'r to move in the Bulincf* under the prefmt Clovirnmtnt, as the judges would be abetted by 
 a Set of i'eople who had the Par of the prtfcnt Governor, and would lupjiort them tlirojfh thick 
 and thin; but that Lord Uoichelter, you believed to be a fair Man, and that you would, oa^ 
 Lis .\rrival in the Province, come forward, give your Opinion that the Judges of the Supreme 
 Court were un^t for, incompetent to, and ought to be removed from their Oiices : 1 hat you 
 v/ould declare it as your Opinion, that they determined Matters vihich came btfore them on 
 very improper Motivei) in ftiort, that they judgsd Men, not Caufea : But that you would not 
 undertake to fay that they took Bribes, for that you in I- aft did not believe they would ever put 
 thJHnfelvei in the Power of any Individual, fo far as to .iccpt one. 'I hit, hit, is, upon my Ho-

 Mr. Aplin, who called on you on the fame Suhjea— held a finiilar Con'v;rfatitn with you ref|>ea.

 Mr. Aplin it not hei^ at prefeot, to add {his Peciaration to mine, in Contirfation of tliit 
 .Statement. Indeed if yoor Letter and tljit Aiifwer, weie 10 fall into the Hand* ot thofe reopj* 
 only, who have known the repeated Inftances of tquivocatum of which yru have been guilty 
 Jince you have been in this Place, I fhould have left the Public to have tried us, in the f. mi 
 Manner you have concurred in trying th's Judges, on the Credit of our own Alfertians; but at 
 tkc Papers may fall into the Hands of fome I'eople, who may be ignorant of our refpei'live Cha- 
 raifters, I fubjoin a Letter from Mr. Andrew M'Oill, of this Place Merchant, on this SuSjeft, 
 which rerifle* every Circumftance averred in our Memorial, not admitted in ycjr Letter to the 
 Governor, and all the material Partt I have here related. 
 
 We will now fee how far your own Letter contains in it'df, Evidence of the Faftt afr;rto<! in 
 our Memorial : Vou fay " you have np Recollection of liaviag ufed the Exprtflioiu againii rh« 
 " lutlicea, ftated by the Memorialirts, or indeed any of like import." Had you alwayt pof. 
 fe (fed the Opinion r«fpe«ing the Judges, you declare yaurfelf in your Letttr to hold, you mi<ht 
 haveluiTly undertaken to hare faid pofitivcly, that you never could have made I'fe of any tx- 
 prefliofi dewgatory to their Honor, on the general Ground, that it was impt (Tible for you tt 
 have faid any Thing direflly contrary to your Sentimenii : This you did not tliink it prudent 
 to do, iTCcanfe you knew that many of the I'eople with whom you have cmveiiV-d en profedi. 
 onal rtulinefi, even in the Charader of Clients could have contradicted you. Vou have there- 
 fore left a pitiful Subterfuge, to avail youifelf of, when convicted of the Fadt, vou will then 
 probably endeavor to get rid of the Imputation of direct Falihnod, by faying, imk-ed 1 did no' 
 recolieft it. You fay " you perfeftiy recollea, and fo (honld Mr. Sterns, that in cur confiden- 
 ^ tial Converfations on the Subjeft, you always declaitd, you did aot believe the Judges \v.re 
 ' corrupt, or in ^ny Degree criminally partial." In Aniwtr to which, at you r^fcr me to our 
 confidential Converfations, I am to fay, you have invariably declared the |u.ke^ to be partial, 
 that I always fuppofcd you meant by it cri^ihally partial, as 1 cmnor form an'idta ci part ality 
 HI a Judge, which is not criminal : If you can point out any Init^ance, In which Partiality in .i 
 Judjje would not be fo, I will admit that 1 may have millakcnyour Opinion of our yud«es,ard

 To which 1 anfwered, it was a Matter that originated with the Members of the Houfe, 'n which 
 i: cy cinlul ed fudi Perfons as they thought proper. And then, to complete your (huffling, you 
 did the Accufa-ion had gone further than you ever intended ; that your Uetign was to accufc 
 ti cm of Incompetency not I'artiility. At that Time you had a different Opinion of the String 
 of garbled Law Cafes, which were adduced before the Committee, from what you cotiimunicaiw 
 to e 'lovemor. 1 then afked you, whether any HcrCon of common Underrtanding could liraw 
 a ly other Ccnclufions frorp thu Infiances 1 had cited belore the Houfe than I had dore ? Whe.

 ed no fuch Idea, rcfpefting thofe Caufes, as you have (ince in this your fhameful t'piftls. Vou 
 then did, and now do know, that there was not more than one of the Cafes cited by aie befors 
 the Committee, the Particulars of which were taken down, which were not proved before you and 
 the Reft of the Committee, either by authentic I'apert, under the Seal of the supremeCourt, the 
 Hand of the Clerk, or the concurrent Teftimony cf one or more WitnilTes, wlw where Membtri 
 of the Houfe. Notwithflanding this, you have jcined with the Re(\ of His Majtfty's Council, 
 in the moll explicit Declarations, that the Allegations made to the Houfe of Aflembly were 
 groundlefs and fcandalous. Had you merely jomod with them in that Decree, and net exerted 
 the fpecious and plaulible Talents ycu podels, to deceive Others, who wire better difpofed 
 thanyourlelf, and to brinp them into a Meafure which never can turn to the Credit of the Au-

 you have done this, I am warranted to fuppofe, by your own ConfetTion, for you Cny " Satis.

 I SHALL now proceed to confider the Tellimony cf Mr.T.n^r, as laid before the Committee 
 of the Houfj of A:Tcmhly. I have already obfcivtd, that Jhe was not perlonally examined, 
 as Mr. Sicrri was, but delivered what he had to allcd-e, in Writing. He begins with laying, 
 that, " ,/ TIMS al'.ut C7,,lu,: ALt.th! '-,;.>, fin.e i, had been aJmittid fj itc Prj^lUc f the Luzu m ttis

 Lave entitled Mr. Tay/^r to feme Excufe, if the Violence of his fubfequent Conduft had not con- 
 tradicted it. As a I'toof of the Incompetency and Partial. ty cf the Judges, he proceeds to fay,

 FROM THE HALIFAX JOURNAL. 
 To the PUBLIC. 
 
 THE grand Reqiiifites wliich ousht to be found in every we'! conftituted Oovernmenf, at 
 effential to the Hippinefs of tlie Peoplt, are Wifdom. Goodncfs and I'ower : Wildo.n, to 
 difcern t'le reil Intereil of tlw Co n nunity; (Jo idnefi, to enleivar al^vay^ topr-fjrve t!iat re^l In- 
 te.'cdj and Strengtiior Po,ver, toe irry tlii.K.nowled ji an I int«ntioii i.ito execution. If ilovern- 
 m'^nt is unfortunately rcpofcil in facli I'erfons as do no.: polIVfj tlicfj f^jjlines, tiie F.l.-ffings of 
 Civil Society arc in a great mtafurcfiullratcd, and a univerlal DifTitisf action mutl tnfue ths 
 Lofs of Confidence in thofc who arc appointed to the txocutionof the l.avs and ihe dilUibuti( n 
 of hiitice. Ihe Rritiih (.'cnflitution is, in all it"s IVi't , heiter calculatid to promote the Hap- 
 pir.efj of its various Members, than any other Syflcm v^•hicu human Wifdom hath yet dtvife i, 
 or prohai->ly ever will ; for though foaiCiimji Fadtion and Venality may creep in and influ.nce 
 the .Meafures of its niini(\erial and executive Officers, the Virtue of the I'eople, who generally 
 polfcfs a futfi'-.ient Dcijree of I'atiiotifm to enable th.-m to form a juit Lftimate of their j<isht', 
 and the importance of c^m iiittin^ the Ex-cucion of the Law» to .'vlen of Abilitiesand In egrity, 
 will not Icn^ fijflfer fuch Officers tocfc^pe unnoticed, or pafj \<'ith impunity. A Irequc-nt and 
 
 1 free Enquiry intotlie Meafures of Government, and a w,itc!iful thoujjli not too jealous an lye 
 3ver tliofc wlio arc called to I'laces of Trult and Confcquence, is always attended with tbemofl 
 iTalutary Confcquences, by keeping them attentive to thofj Dutie, which, as Servants to the 
 'ublic, they are .ippo.ntsd to execute, not meri^ly for tiKir own Advantige, but the general 
 Joed of Society. The Tribute of Gt tltude and El\>:em is rar,:ly withlield from thwfc whofe 
 ;;ondurt is direifled hy .Motivei of CanCor and Humanity ; and tliough 1 nitances may happen of 
 th.-ir fuilaining a partial temporary tvil, they generally rife fupenoi to the intluvnce of artful 
 deligning Men, and ultimately receive the Plaudits of their Fellow Subjedls, for their perfeve- 
 
 Iranct: and Firinncfs in bringing to public View fuch Meafures as are either dangerous in their 
 
 [Ert'eifs, or have a 'tendency to lefTcn the Reputation of Government. 
 
 To excite unnectlfiry Fears and jeaioufies in the Minds of the I'eople is highly criminal ; but 
 Occurrences may and fom*times do l;appen, when it is ^equally criminal to de filent, m ire 
 efp^cialiy when the t'lrft Rights of the Subjetl are invaded by unwarrantable Disiranchifements, 
 and a fair impartial Hnquiry eluded by every Artifice which Influence can fuftjjell.— Confcioua 
 Innocence needs no Subterfuge, in the Moment oi the feveretl Trial, infpired vvilli Confidence, 
 defies theclofeft Invefligation, and never Ihrinks from the mall rigid Inquiry. 
 
 We have long heard of Complaints reipiclini; the Adminitlration of |ufiice in the Supreme 
 Court of the Province, and however difficult it may be for People in general to afcertain with 
 
 'any Dtgree of Preeifion the Truth of them \ it is a melancholy Confideration that there fhould 
 be even the PolTibility of a Pretext for fuch Complaints, becaiife it has a Tendency tJ locfeu 
 tht Reins of Government, hy deflroying that Confidence whicii not only gives l.ncrgy to the 
 Laws, but is the moft effeftual Karrier againft Anarchy and l.icentioufiiefs. Our Public Situ- 
 ation is much to be lamented, but we have this Coiifolation, that an adequate Reiredy is within 
 our Reach, we are oniy wanting in GoojKij'i to apply that Remetiy, which, it is devoutly to be 
 wiihed, may be etl'cdcd through that ly^jaorn wln.Ujiilterno theital Ir.tercftof the Community. 
 It is true that the General Alfembly, at their 1 ill SeiTion, in a Commiiteeot the whole Houfe, 
 went into the Invc(lijati;>n of Facistha have occafiont I tliofe Diiuti^fatlions, and under a fe- 
 rious Impreirio.i, from thi Informatii'n they hid rtceive.i, addrefled his Excellency the Lieu- 
 tenant Ciovcinjr upon the Subjetl, requ;iiin.; that lie would take tliC fime int) Coniideration, 
 and adopt fuch Meafures tUereon as he nii^lit think jull aiut light. Ihe Language of th.^t .\i- 
 drefb was fuited to the Solemnity of t'.ie Uccalion, an 1 iiLnilelled tliehiah Senfethry had of the 
 Trull repofed in them by the People ; for tliey cxpieily dccL.re tohis F.xccilency, that the mag- 
 ritude of the Oojecl was fucii, that tliey were- eom^jeiltd to laciilice even the I eel njjs of Iiu-
