[/■'mm ihr Montreal IIkhald, April IS//1, 1SG3.] Owing to some mistake, a few memoi-amhi wliieh ought to have jvaehed us on ,Satui'(hiy, with respeetto the late distinguislied Judge, iailed to eome to liand, and we were thus obliged to postpone a notiee of his life until to-day. The deceased Judge was, in the iul! sense of the word, a Colonist. His father was an assistanl-])ay master of the forees serving in Xoi-tli Aniei-iea under the old Colonial re-reat deal of odium on account of an ailair which was known as the Wi-st- minster ]\[assacre. This was durin<>; the earlv days of the u'reat rebellion, Ihioiiifhout which Mr, (Jale adhered tirndy to the side of the JJritish Government. The Court sitting on the day in question at Westminster, tiie Court House was beset b3'a mob, and the Shcvitf having- called together his posse, forced his way in, and in doing so killed moie than one of the j-ioters. Tiie day following the tables AVere turned in lavour of the popular i>art3', and Mr. (Jale was an esled, and Avas, with a short intermission, confined ibr more than two yeai-s, although several of the insurgent authorities repoi-tod from time to time that his imprisonment was unlawful. In fact he seems to have been much respected even by his opponents, for while lie made no secret of Ins sentiments and intention to do what he conceived to be his duty,, he persistently declared his resolution to engage in no underhand plots against the colonics. Aftei- his release he voluntarily withdrew to Quebec, and was made Provincial Secretary muler (Governor Pi'cseott, besides obtaining one of those largo grants of land which wei'O accorded to refugee loyalists, lie accompanied Governor Pre.scott to England, and defended him against the charges made against his administration of aifairs in Canada. It was at thi?, time that ho wrote his work, "Public Ci-edits," addressed to Mr. Pitt, which was i-owai-ded by a pension, though Ave believe his ideas Wei-e not adopted. lie afterwards returned to Canada and settled on his land gi-ant at Farnham, Avhcro he died in his scventj'-eighth year. The following is the inscription on his tombstone at Farnham, in Shefford County : I L I 8 IIKIIK UFSTS SA^TvaiTJEU O-A-LB, ESQ.. Formerly Actlnj,' Deinity Paynmstor-Geiiunil of II.

The late Judge wjis bom at St. Augustine, in Florid:!, in 1*782, Avliile liis fathei" was in service in that pai't of the British Colonies, and educated chiefly at (Quebec, after the .settlement of his father in this country. He studied law under the late Mr. Justice Sewell ; was admitted to the bar in 1808; in 1815 was appointed a magistrate in the Indian Terrritoi-ies, and in that capacity accompanied Loi-d Selkirk to the North-'*Vest. During tho stormy controversies between some of the liower Canadian governors and the House of Assembly, Mr. dale adhered strongly to tho side of tho government, as did most of the inhabitants of ]i:)wer Canada of British origin, and he represented that part of the population in England when Lord Dalhousie was attacked for his conduct in this countiy. In lS2i), Mr. Gale became Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, and in 1S;J4 replaced Mr. Uniacke as a Judge of the Court of Queen's Bench ; the latter gentleman i-esigning on account of the pi-evalence of cholera in Montical at that time. Before this he had been, as wo have intimated, an active and energetic i)olitician, and in that capacity- wrote a series of lettoi's for this paper luuler the signatui'c of " Xerva," It is unnecessary to say that the policy advocated in those letters, M'hatever merit it had or seemed to have at the time, w;)s wholly set asitle ly the authority in whoso name and behalf it professed to be put foi-ward.

Tiie ev.'nts immediately preceding the outbreak brought the politieal controversy into the coui'ts, upou the (pu'stion of the right of the govenimeiit to proclaim martial law and to put in that proclamation as an auHwer to a])plieation for the discharge ofa ])risoner l.y hftl>ca.i corpus. Jt would seem to-day. probably to most persons, an extraordinary breach ot the liberty of the subject, even in a colony, if the government should venture upon sucli a proceeding hefore any overt acts of violence hud taken place; though we have no doubt there would bo plenty of defenders, even of sucii a course, among those who ahove all things admire the exhibition of force— if not directed against themselves AVhile some of the judges, however,— Messrs. Bedard, Panet and Vallieres— refused to acknowledge the authority of martial law, in (he actual situation of the cour.try, and M-ei-e sus])en(led by way of showing the independence of Britisji judges, Mr. Justice (iale took the other view of the point raised, and maintained, no doubt most conscientiously, the propriety of the course adopted. In truth, it would be very unfair to judge of the question then raised by the notions now jjrevalent, anr otliiM- i-stiid's of (he roiilm— in oUior words.

This circumstance, and loni;- acquaintance betv/een him and the late chief editor of (his paper, made the Judi-e till wiihin a few moiuhs a w^vy frequent visitor at the /ierrt/r/ Office, and there wei-e tew tbing-s more caleuhUed lo stimulate a vonno- man to the admiration and advocacy of whatever things are [uire, just, humane and of good report, than the eloquent conversation of our venerable friend.
