Such are the eccentricities of public justice,
We consider the custom now in vogue at our Police Courts (Introduced by Go- vernor HENNESSY if we mistake not), of sending petty pilferers, and other minor offenders generally, to the Supreme Court, a useless expenditure of time and trouble. The Magistrates have ample powers to deal summarily with all cases of the kind referred to, and the ends of justice would be equally as well served by their freely using these powers, instead of sending every paltry case aggravated by previous conviction that comes before them, to the Higher Court. Let all crimes of violence, such as the ear-ring snatching above re- ferred to, be treated with Draconian severity; but in dealing with paltry offences, we trust the day is not far distant when what is called justice will be more in ace- ordance with common sense thas appears to have been the case in this Colony for many years past.
