VICTORIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY, 24тH 1844.
On the fourth day of March, the first Session of a Court for the trial of Criminal offences
commit- ted on this Island or within the dominions of the Emperor of China, is to be held at this place.
Upon first reading the proclamation we were in hopes that the anxiously looked for Judge had arrived, and that Her Majestys subjects were once more to be placed under the civil laws of their country
The extraordinary powers vested in the (ro- vernor of this Colony, at one period may have been unavoidable, and have been exercised in a spirit of moderation and equity. Now however there appears to be no good reason why we should live in a British Colony, under military laws There is something so unenglish in this-some- thing so utterly opposed to those constitutional principles which are instilled into the mind of every British subject, that with all
Hall confidence in the in- dividual, who for a season, has unlimited power over our persons and properly, we m common with every Civilian on the Island, look forward with anxiety to the arrival of civil and criminal judges and the institution of similar courts of justice to those of every other British Colony,
We do not doubt, that in any case brought be fore him, Sir Henry Pottinger will give a just de- cision so far as equity is concerned. Neither have we any reasons to doubt the opinions he may re- ceive on points of law, from his legal adviser. Whatever degree of confidence he may have in y his own judgment, he is placed in a delicate and ”, unenviable position. The English press is watchful to a degree, where they think too much power is placed in the hands of an individual. They would not be sparing of censure, even on the supposition of an act of injustice being committed in a distant Colony. Were a prisoner punished unjustly, by any person holding similar power to the Governor of Hongkong g even admitting this proceeded from an error in judgment, the Argus eyed Guardians of the liberty of the Subject, would raise storm enough to shake the stoutest nerves,
Another of those daring burglaries which have been, of late, so al
the hours of 1 and 2, at terday morning betwmingly frequent occurred yes the Bungalow occupied by Mrs. White and family. The robbers came armed with long Pikes, swords in a gang of about 30 and proceeded to break in the doors, making a great noise and yelling fright- fully The watchman and servants were driven 5 5 away by a shower of stones. The bursting in of the outer or venetian door woke Mr. Lind, who immediately discharged his pistols at the robbers. but this did not check them for with large clubs they beat in the inner or glass door, and in a bod rushed into the flouse throwing in Pots of fire, one severely scorched Mr.Lind. The robbers ommenced to ransack the House, breaking drawerze. whilst this was going on the Larchm had give the alarm to the Guard at the Mess House of the Officers of the 41st M. N.L
whose house the Ladies had escaped.
Had it not been for the prompt assistance of the officers of the 41st the House would i
