conduct of the Justices

I think it would be well to quote the Attorney General where he Jans aware that Mr. Mitchell his opinion to the contrary when he Mr. Mitchelly told the Justices that the writ A Cartionari 1070 perfectly would lie, p the Justices Loy some stress on this print, and zvere cridently misled by Mr. Mitchell. It does not seem to me necessary say the more on this particular matter, but on the the general question I may note that it is clearly the duty of Executive Government to check enos in the administration of Justice, and that as the Governor has the M 220 power of appointment and removal of a Magistrate, a fortiori he is intitled to call his attention to Magisterial Mistakes position has long has long received the support of the Lieutenant Governor and myself.

I have only to add that it may be well, to prevent misarrichension of individual opinion, if His Excellency make full and free use of the Minutes of the members of the Executive Council in this Care.
