A Californian paper says :—The dearest thing in this country is what ought io be the cheapest—justice, The theory of our law is that any citizen who has been wronged can appeal to the Coarts and be righted, but in practice justice has become so costly and uncertain that no prudent man appeals to the law if he can help it. This is the result of putting the making and the administration of our laws in the hands of a set of men who get a lirmg o\it of the costs of justice.
