The question put by our correspondent "Justice," if it has any real foundation, will assuredly demand an saswer in some form or other. If our worthy Magistrates have been playing fast and loose with the laws and exceeding their discretionary powera and the honourable Attorney General can easily demonstrate that proposition

the public will look for a satisfactory explanation. If the Magistrates are in the right, then some one is very much in the wrong; and that personage is either our correspondent, who belles his name, .or our distinguished Governor, who has been somewhat indiscreet. in

Official energy on the part of a Governor, when directed by a sound discretion, is a most estimable quality; but there are times when energy is apt to become officiousness, while its over exercise has, notedly in one case at least, sometimes led to permanent retirement,
