appointments and receive their emoluments from the Crown but they are under obedi- ence to the Crown and to their superlor officers in the service. A Judge In the performance of his functions as Judge awes no such obedience to any person whomsoever, not even to the Queen's Majesty herself. He calls no man Master. He is only under God and the Law. In England the Judges are only removable by the combined action of the Queen, Lords and Commons, and not by any one of the three alone. In the Colonies, they are subject to removal by the Crown alone acting through the Secretary of State for the Colonies and to suspension by the Governor in extreme cases, but in the performance of their duties as Judges they are uncontrollable except by the Courts of Appeal.

These observations are suggested by the part taken by the Judges in the pre- sentation of the Civil Service address to the late Governor and by the language in which that address was framed, and it is Captain Qall, will be despatched as above the opinion of very many in the Colony on MONDAY, the 7:h instant at 3 P.M.
