ment must necessarily be accompanied by a feeling of regret at the necessity which arose for the punishment thas administered by the Acting Chief Justice. It is beyond a doubt that Mr Rossell, in passing this sentence of the Court, was only performing a duty to the public, while he was at the same time following the precedentsofthe Court. As the Judge himself remarked, on pass ing sentence, it was one of the worst cases of speculating on fictitious capital that had over been in the Court. The principle of Heads I win, tails you ose bad been most deliberately and effectually applied and demonstrated; and the specultor has to pay the penalty of bie rashnews. It is much to be wishad, though it may be a wish ex- tremely daubiful of fulfilment, that the result of this case may exercise a whole- some check upco those who are so ready to incur monetary obligations when shares in public companies are in question. It seems to be so simple a matter to tell 'your broker--to be able to refer to any man as your brokeris believed to be worth something, at all events-- to buy so and so many shares for the end of the month, to sell them again at a few points in advance, and to pocket the difference, that the simplicity of such operations lends a charming fas- cination to the game. Of course thie operations because more frequent, and with the perversity peculiar to hau affairs, they now and again go wrong.
