CUTLER,
This report finds that the charges are esta blished in the cases of Justice Repiport and Baxter, who are doolerel to have been guilty of corruption in receiving gifts, from actul or prospeclire litigan s; that Mr. Baxter visited houses of ill-fame in the city; and that both combined in devising tenns to hinder justice. Other justices are condemned for adjudicating upon cases in which they were personally inte. reated. Justice Bird is found to havo adjudicated in the interests of woman of i-fans with whor be had immoral relations,
The Board further find that many justices migrated to Courts in which they were not arenstomed to sit, because litigants in them were either customers or oki frianils, or becanje they were otherwise interestal in them, thereby Bach in- outnumbering the local justice. cursions aroused suspicion ant distrust of the administration of justice. The Beard believe, however, that is vulpated Justices wore nost lamentably unconscions of impropriety. They find that Mr. Lamer. at whose Instiga tion the inquiry was Zold, not in cases in which he had a strong prejudice against litigants. ur against the trade in which they were engaged, but they exonerate him from the chargd of. porruption.
