Independence of Judges.

Melbourne, April 30

An application was made to-day, before Mr Justice Molesworth, Judge of the Court of Insolvency, for an un conditional discharge in the estate of J. B. Davies. His Honor asked if it Would not be better to have the case decided by a Judge of the Supreme Court, whose position was permanent, and who could not be interfered with by politicians or friends, as a County Court Judge could be. A Supreme Court Judge could hear a case without fear or favour, but when a case was brought before a tribunal like the present one the result might be very unpleasant. Davies refused to with draw the case from the jurisdiction of the Insolvency Court, and Judge Moles worth gave a written judgment. He affirmed the opinion that Judges of Insolvency Courts should be as inde pendent politically as Judges of the Supreme Court. It was unfair to place him in such a position that if he did his duty he would offend persons who could be unpleasant to him. The present application was made by one who had been a prominent politician and head of a Government department and the Judge might be told that the State demanded a reduction of his salary, or that he had bjeen long enough in Melbourne, and the political head required his removal. In refusing the application of Davies, for an uncondi tional discharge, Judge Molesworth said it was a case of reckless specula tion and gambling, and to encourage such things would be destructive to all proper ideas of commercial morality, The Premier, Mr Turner, has instructed the Solicitor-General to obtain from Judge Molesworth an explanation of his remarks, and the matter will be brought before the Cabinet.

N.S.W. POLITICS.

Sydkey, April 30 In Committee, in the Legislative Assembly, on the Local Government Bill, Mi W. Watson, a labor member, moved an amendment which was carried against the Government >st week Asserting the principle of one-man-one vote in muncipsl elections. The Premier, who was not satisfied with last week's defeat, said the Government had decided to make the question a party one and would abide by the decision of the House. He accepted Mr Watson's present amendment, On a division being taken the Opposition joined issue with the Labor party, the result being the defeat of the Govern ment by 47 votes to 42. The Opposi- j tton members explained that their i action was taken with a view to kill the Bill.

The Premier, Mr Reid, in order that the Bill might be dropped, then moved—" 1 hat the Chairman leave the chair." Mr O'Sullivan moved as an amendment —'' That leave be given to git again/ The debate is prqeaeding. SypNßy, May 1 In the Assembly Mr O'Sulliyan's motion was negatived on the voices, and the House adjourned.

The Premier, who was interviewed on the position, expressed his indigna tion at the Opposition voting for the amendment, though the majority of them were known to be adverse to it, simply to embarrass Government. They would have to bear blame for the loss of the Bill, be cause with such a provision £here was np other course open but to abandon it, though he deeply regretted having to do so. He would have tp reyert tp the pld system of providing roads and bridges. The Opposition by their action had simpli fied the position immensely, The financial statement would now have to be confined to the broad outline of tariff reform) and the deficit in the Customs would have to be made good by direct taxation, including the land tax.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS. D. CLARKE'S CARBOLIZED Wheat Protector HAS BEEN USED FIFTY YEARS WITH UNDEVIATING SUCCESS. IT has been amply proved by the Testi monials of thousands of the First Practical Agriculturists In England, as well as by dozens of farmers in the Ash burton District, that this preparation materially assists the germination of the Bead, caucirtg the young plant to come up much sooner, and crow more vigorously, protects it to maturity from tbe ravages of the Slug, Gkub, and Wirkwokm, adds firmness to the straw to support the ear. Seed dressed with this preparation may remain for any length of time without sustaining injury, and invariably PRODUCES WHEAT PERFECTLY FREE FROM SMUT, And of greater value than that grown from seed dretsed with other preparations.
