VIt may not be generally known that the powers or our police magistrates ,in the administration of justice are [equal in every respect to those vested in our county judges, The only classes of cases they are debarred from hear- ing and determining are those in which the county Judges have not Jur- isdiction to try, vlz.: murder, man- slaughter and rape. and in all of these uxuacxy.

Only a small percentage of the cases tried in Barrie police court were laid by Barrie oicers or origin- ated within the town. As far as the Barrie cases were concerned, he point- ed out that very few towns of p 7,UO0 had four miles of provincial highway. so it was natural there would be more infractions of the law.

Church and the Law Judge Emerson Coatsworth of Tor- onto, in proposing the toast The May- or and Corporation of Barrie, remark- ed` that it was the first time one of their banquets had been held in a church hall. Meeting in such a place might have some significance, for af- ter all the church and the law should work hand in hand in maintaining the moral standards of the community. Judge Coatsworth recalled a visit to Barrie with a delightful sail on the lake 55 years ago. Barrie had made progress and its attractive appearance gave the citizens just cause for pride.` Barrie had also a fine magistrate in Mr. Jeffs. Many very important and difficult cases had come before him in recent years and even in Toronto the magistrates followed with interest the work of Mr. Jeffs. up-____._ uo.;-_,_ : - 1 - A In`-vgvv--guy... --J Va-Iv av v V. .....v.au Mr. Chairman, the Magistrates Association of -Ontario appreciates very sincerely indeed the kind words of welcome and the warm hospitality you haye so generously extended to us.

While the magistrates courts have resulted in saving the country large sums of money annually and also sav- ing litigants both time and money and while they dispose of a large pro- portion of the legal -business of the country the -remuneration of the mag- istrates is the smallest of all judicial officers.

Mr. Mikel might` quite properly have gone further in his address and shown from the statistics of the Ming ister of Justice that the average cost of the cases in crimes and offences heard by the county judges and judges and juries in Canada is $114.00 each, while the average cost of the hearing and determining of the same classes of cases by the Police Magistrates is less than $19.00 each. . \XI.h'nA fhn vnoniefrofnc nnin-fa hoivn VOIVJ ELI: uvv Aulguadvua . While not desiring to be taken as `in accord with all the doings of the Provincial Legislature, he was inclin- ed to think that the policy of appoint- ing laymen in many instances instead of lawyers to the position of Magis- trate works out, generally speaking, to the satisfaction of the ratepayers. Good, sound, common sense wisely ap- plied and untrammelled by the legal technicalities that necessarily and pro- perly prevail in the law courts pro- duces good results, and in this connec- tion he paid a well-deserved compli- ment to Police Magistrate Jefrs.
