Criticism Of Courts

The following is an extract from an opio ion by Chief Justice Sharswood of ilie Supreme Court of l'ennsylvania : " It is now the right and duty of a lawy;r to bring to the notice of the people, who clect the judges, every instance of what hebelicvestobecorruptioc or partisanship. No class of the community ought to be allowed freer scope in the expression or pub-, lioation as to the capacity, impartiality or integrity of judgcs than members of the bar. To say that an attomey can only act or speak on this subject under liability to be called to account, and to be deprived of his profession and livelihood by the very judge or judges whom he may consider it his duty to attack and exposé, is a position too monstrous to be entertained a mnment under our present system."
