His Worship remarked that he been struck throughout by the tact and self control shown by the police. Both as individuals and as a force we had every reason to be proud of their record during the riot. He agreed with the jury farther that the pally offers were to be commended in answering the call of the police on this occasion. At the same time he did not find himself alto. gether in agreement with the verdict of the jary. It was a serious matter to use frearms in a riot, especially when the polics reosived orders from a superior offer not to fire. His Worship's view was that there was nothing to justify the police officer in departing from his instructions. Ho further thought that no re- arms had been used by the rioters, and that nothing at all occurred which justified the petty fears in using firearme. He agreed with the offers in going to the assistance of the police jury that the conduct of the police, and the potty
