Not one single, solitary witness who appeared for the Crown had the slightest fault to find‘ with Mr. Hastâ€" ings in any way whatever, except that some thought that he was too lenient in some cases;â€"that is, in cases where he fined a man Two Hundred Dollars, the witnesses thought that he should have made the fine greater. Of course that was no fault at all to find with a magistrate because unâ€" less a magistrate can use his own judgment in meting out justice in his court, he would be absolutely useless as a magistrate. If a magistrate were to allow every Tom, Dick and Harry tow dictate to him what punishment he should put on those found guilty in his court, every one of the Toms, Dicks and Harrys would suggest a different punishment. THE PEOPLE‘S PaAppy JAS. A. LIVINGSTOX For a breach of the Ontario Temâ€" perance Act, the man about town would say that Twentyâ€"five Dollars was ample; while the Methodist preacher would not be satisfied with less than a Two Thousand Dollars fine ;and some of the hotâ€"headed prohibitionists would claim that a man should be fined at least One Thousand Dollarsâ€"while lots of peoâ€" ple would say he should not be fined at all. If the Methodist preacher, or the man about town, or the Attorney General, or every Tom, Dick and Har ry, is going to dictate to a police magistrate how much he shall fine a man for this or that, then it beâ€" comes a case of the Methodist preaâ€" cher, or the man about town, or the Attorney General, or every Tom, Dick and Harry sitting on the judiâ€" cial bench instead of the duly apâ€" pointed police magistrate.

It is just one more case of a little faction winning over a conceited official by flattery and then using his powers for their own purposes. A few people from Dunnville quietly represented to the Attorneyâ€"General that _ Magistrate Hastings was not the abject tool that the high and mighty Atorneyâ€"Generâ€" al should expect him to be. "Off with his head!" shrieked the offendâ€" ed Czar. \ That sort of tyranny has been fre-! quent throughout history wherever an irresponsible temperament has been hitched to a very responsible job. But seldom in history has the abuse of authority been carried out with the meanness of mind which Hon. W. E. Raney has displayed in the persecution of the Dunnville magistrate. Magistrate Hastings was suspendâ€" ed without even a pretence at an inâ€" vestigation; and the sentence of susâ€" pension â€" was conveyed in terms which made it clear that an investiâ€" gation would ‘be the farce which it has proven to be. Indeed the Attorâ€" neyâ€"General for once has sufficient sense of shame to realize that his letter to Mr. Hastings was such an irâ€" decency that it should. never »«have been writtenâ€"but of course, true o form, he shifts the blame upon the recipient because, forsooth, he made it public. M The Toronto ‘Telegram‘, in an ediâ€" A deputation of prominent citizens‘ went to Queen‘s Park to find out the reason why Magistrate Hastings was fired.. They < were shown charges whose authorship no man owns and whose accuracy was so small that even the Attorngy-General, who does not baggle at small injustices, was compelled to withdraw them. And from that .minute the defenders of a respected fellowâ€"citizen have been criminals in the eyes of the Attorneyâ€" General of Ontario. Such is Raneyism. It is ~a preâ€" tence at ‘"uplift" which â€" violates every canon of innate decency. It is a hypocritical chattering about obeâ€" dience by one whose official conduct is ‘based upon deliberate and calcuâ€" lated defiance of the law. 1 Citizens of ‘Ontario. who ‘Gared “tr@filfl‘_fiy and insolently" to proâ€" test against the highâ€"handed action of Hon. W. E. Raney. Attorneyâ€" General of Ontario, were for that reagson suspected by him of criminal offences. So orders were sent to a license inspector to proceed from Sarnia to search their cellars for evidence that these reputable â€" citiâ€" zens of Dunnville were ~guilty of ‘"bootâ€"legging." Such is the sworn testimony of David Sylvester, a proâ€" vincial license officer, and a Crown witness at the Hastings enquiry. What did it mean? Simply that Inspector David Sylvester was told to ask the actingâ€"magistrate of Dunnâ€" ville for search warrants empowerâ€" ing him to invade Dunnville homes in quest of liquor which he had reasonâ€" able belief was held for illegal sale. The instructions were sent by an ofâ€" ficial who knew that in no conceivâ€" able way could Inspector ~Sylvester in Sarnia believe any such thing. Nevertheless he was ordered by the headquarters of Raneyism to obtain search warrants by deliberate falseâ€" hood from a~ temporary magistrate whom Hon. W .E. Raney had placed in Dunnville to improve the adminisâ€" tration of the law. Ye Gods! Not being a blackguard and having some respect for the oldâ€"fashioned commandment against bearing false witness, the inspector avoided a disJ honorable assignment and merely secured from the express companies a list@Bbf consignments to members of the deputation who had "truculently and insolently" expressed their conâ€" fidence in Magistrate Hastings. But it is no fault of Raneyism that he did not carry out his instructions to lie to the actingâ€"magistrate, and, upon the strength of an improper warrant, to make it plain that the bigotry of the Attorneyâ€"General has superseded such trivialities as statâ€" ute law and the ten commandments. The Attorneyâ€"General of Ontario is thoroughly convinced that he is Sir Oracle, and that when he opens his mouth no dog should bark. In the days of the Inquisition the zeal of his bigotry would have carried him up to that point where his selfâ€"asserâ€" tion incurred the wrath of his colâ€" leauges. Hon. W. E. Raney is in the same position today. He is Attorâ€" neyâ€"General of Ontario, not because of his preâ€"éminences, but because of his prejudices, not because of his ability, but, truly, because of his lack of it. As a minor lawyer, he was selected by a Farmer Cabinet to be its office bgy. It is his awkward ambition to be Sir. Oracle; and. the pretence of Raneyism is to be omniâ€" scient while its petty talent is wastâ€" ed in an attempt to be omnipotent and omnipresent. The Dunnville case has increased speculagion as to how long Ontario will have to put up with an Attorneyâ€"General who has brought hims :f, and is fast bringing the law which he â€"supervises, into general contempt. For this is a just Province, and it cannot pass uuhes1â€" ed the fact that in the persecution of Magistrate Hastings there was scarce one fair prompting which was obeyed by Hon. W. E. Raney, and scarce one shabby dodge which was not attempted.
