Workman A Pet- will represent Newmarket Lodge at Gran Lodge in Toronto next week as very desirable and people of this Province will readily The latter article suggests that the County Court could be made much more if in addition to increasing their juris- provision were also maae for ho trial of County Court nonjury cases at the regular sittings of the va rious Division Courts To the work complete it is likewise sug gested in order to meet the necessary demands this change involves that tho County Court office at each Coun ty Town might serve a purpose simi lar to that which central office at Hall serves in respect of the High Courtthe cases and records being transmitted by the County Court Clerk to Division Court Clerks at the places of trial The proposition this change involves is very farreach ing will save large costs to litigants and also the judiciary expenses of respective counties of the Prov ince We trust the outlined will meet with the approval of the At torneyGeneral of Ontario and that the same may be into law In Globes second article on the subject of law reform referring to County Court Clerk serving a pur- pose to Division Courts that Hall now servos in respect of the High Court makes this further observation The absurdity of maintaining present dual inferior is only emphasized by the fact that the same Judges dispense justice in both If Smith living at Sutton which is in this county fiftyfive miles from Toronto ho has a also liv ing at Sutton for say for a horse they may have the matter before Judge Morgan at Sutton with or without a jury at a cost probably of or But if Smith values the horse at he must if he desires to recover that amount bring his ac tion in the County Court and then he and Jones will both have to come to Toronto and bring their witnesses with them and after they have waited their turn their dispute will be heard before the Judge and if when they have succeeded in getting the judgement of the court the costs of the action are only the average cost of heard in the County Courts of the Province the parties will have paid more than twice the value of the horse to discover which of them are right We venture to that it would puzzle anyone who will trouble to think about it to give a reason why Judge Morgan could not try any case within his jurisdiction as well at Sut ton sitting in the Division Court as at Toronto sitting in the County Court or why a difference of a dollar or two in the amount of a claim should make t- necessary to apply an altogether different system of legal procedure But a more sorioua aspect of the case is that under the County Court prac tice the parties who appeal to the courts for justice are punished for their temerity as though they had been guilty of some offense against the law What is evidently needed is not that the old system should be up but that both should be abolished and that the new County Court should cover the whole ground with added jurisdiction and given a procedure adapted to the requirements of the times nickel in line country as compared with tlio raw material can readily see immense advantage this policy will ho to workinman of Ontario who been accustomed to Reeking hi employment in the United States and elsewhere The policy of the new Govern ment has boon cordially received by both parties The time is rapidly ap proaching when old party cry will be a thing of past The rising generation are becoming educated to the fact that it is not to be to the welfare of thin country to consider a leader political standing
