in declining Col. Beaumont's offer to make an experimental attempt which was to cost £3,000-to blast the Bokhara rocka. In fact we fail to see what goed purpose there 1.25 was to be served in retaining the services
of Col. Bonument- gentleman uploa to the colony, We have not seen his report, but wo doubt very much if he bus thrown much light on the sub- ject. If the roars were very valuable, the Government would surely be anxious to give it publicity, as that the com munity might have some return for the £50 and hotel expensce given to the enter prising colonol.

that small body. It is difficult to over-deat mate the importance of such a consolidat. ing measure. The existing low affecting the magistracy has been shown in many cases to 0:75 h very defective, and the provisione scat- tered throngh zoveral ordinancon are in some casesautiquated and ambiguous. If the new ordinanos, removes the difficul. ties and uncertainties, the labour; spent on it will not have been in vain. We havo not had the courage to go through ila many clauses, but, taking Mr Leach's summary, we noto several very important improve- ments that will be introduced. Apark from 8:0.75
the provisions with regard to appeal on 10 1.00 questions of fact--the value of which will duobtless be fully správcisted by the legal profession—we have the firing of a scale of Enes and imprisonments, which should pro (10): 1.00 vent tho vngarles in the tangent that have sometimes been noted in the decisions of 4.30 0.40 magistrates. Then to the magistrate there ia now given power to award costs to either 4.50 0.40 5.25 0.60 party in prosecution, if he thinks the necessities of the cass demand it—a provi- sion which may lend to check reckless pro Gallon.secution and may encourage those who bare a good eqle to bring en offender to justies.
