Saturday niylit in the mid^t of a general olec-tion campaign be consiilerod ideal for tile holding of a Mayoral banquet depending in some degree for its success upon the sup- r»ort of leading incuibers of all parties as Avell as local busines? men. It was all the more pleasing, therefore, to find so large and representative a company at tlie Swan and Royal Hotel on Saturday evening, wlieii the re-election of Councillor J. JI. Sattcr- thwaite as Mayor of Clitlieroe was cele­ brated witli all the gusto and ceremonial traditionally associated with these popular and enjoyable functions.

It is essential they should be fair. They need eourago as well as knowledge.^ The libertj- of tho subject being eommilted to their care, magistrates must not merely be honest but incorruptible. J know of no departiuenl of public service calling for biglicr fpialitios of character, stricter impartiality and sounder judgment. These qualities are not lacking in the magistracy of this dis­ trict, where the Ilcnclics liave the advan­ tage of, and are the stronger ami more capable lor the guidance they get from the wise, cautious, cllicicnt gentlemen wlio servo them as Clerks.

d.l’., vaid being a magistrate was a serious business and as Justice of the Peace they had often a regrettable but a necessary duty to perform. Ju-tices of the l*eac«* were necessary for tbe protection of society and in that sense tbe toast was an important one. Mr. Manly bad iiuoted poetry ami one poet said that order was heaven’s first law. If that was true, be thought that law wa»s more important than order beeauso Hiey could not liave an ordered .society witli- out law. The laws of tlie country hail to he maintained hy Justices of tlie Peace, and that was in the magistrates’ minds when they sat on llie Pencil. Often enough tlieir syinpathie.s were aroused and tliey would like to be very merciful, but they ija<l always to remember‘that they were re.sponsiblo for tile protection of society. In performing their duties the Bench were very much assisted hy the Clerk, and liow the magis­ trates could get on without that help he did not know They were also assisted l)v the solicitors. “ I feel .sorry indeed when iiersons before us are not represented by solicitors, and I believe that in every case wliicb come.s before tho Bench there should he a solicitor on both sides.” Coun­ cillor Hargreaves said.

jocularly observed that all defendants who appeared before tlie magistrates considered that their particular offence was very trivial and that they ouglit not to liavc been brought to court. The magistrates had to spi’iitl manv tedious hours sitting in court, altiumgh tho dutic-s were interesting. In addition, they were called upon to witness ir.any signature® to documents, and it was latlicr surprising the number of people who brought a document to ho signed when the document liad already been completed. “ That is often heeause tho signalorio® are unable to leave their homes and sign the papers there.

Ex-Alderman Bootliman had done a great work for the town, fulfilling .several important chairmanships ami being Mayor for tiiree years. The work lie had done for eleetricity would last as a monu- inont to his period on the Council. The new Aldermen were both valued members of tile Couiieil.

best speech that had been made during tne proceedings was that of Mr. Carey Jioril. He hoped ^Ir. Lord’s remarks would he taken to heart hy every member of the Council. He quite agreed tliat Clithcroe could bo developed both industrially ami rcsideiiti.ally. The Rihhle Valley was. In his opinion, one of the nIO^t heantifni m the wliole country and ought to be de­ veloped. Tiiero was plenty of room for resiilciitial pi'operty, ahich would ailil to Hie rateable value. Ex-AIderinau Booth- man and Iiimself had advocated for a long time the making of a road from the Cemetery through to I.ow Moor. The lioginniiig of tho road was laid at the Cemetery and there was no finer site in the district for the building of residential property. Such scliemes were not big task.s and the Council sliouhl devote itself to developing tlie town to the fulle.st possible extent.


at Ids elevation to the aldormauie bench. Ho had never aspired to such au honour, and just endeavoured lo do hi.s be>t for the town. Jt was exactly fifty year.s ago that Ids father dieil ami his mother was left with eleven chiUlren, all of whom were living. Me considered Ids uioHior de-erved the Victoria Cross for her bravery in those times. As long as health ami slreimth woidd permit him lie would try to devidop the town to the fullest possible extent. There was room for encouragement iu re­ gard to new industries. Alderman Manley had long advocated a new re.sorvoir, and lie hopeil the town \vould never again bo in the position of having to lose a new in­ dustry because they hail not a sufficient water supply.


M'HERE ALDERMEN ARE BOliN. \ldorman Barker said he was very sorry


It was running to waste. All Ifiat was needed was to reserve it. Once they old that they would Iiave even better oppor­ tunities of encouraging new industries.


'I’hei'e was plenty of w.iter. lu conclusion, Alderman Barker.mentioned


the conineidence that one of the retiring .Aldermen, Mr. Standring, lived in AVlu’de.v-

He wished to be quite liouest and to state that when his leriii of six years eoiicluded he intended to come before the electors. He considered ahlcr- incii sliould c(uue before tlie pulilic when their terms of office expired. He had a gleam of hope that au umlerstamliiig would he reaclu'il between all parties in the Council that there sliould he aldermanic elecHims for that was the most democratic way of carrying out local government. The dinner was a complete sncces.s in


tlie hall by nu-nibers of the Old Girls’ Association. A recitation, ” Scandal,” was a<lmirably delivered iby Miss A. Watson, who, fitting actions to the piece, capturou its humour coinplutcly. A mirth-provoking biirIesf|UO, entitled “ ’The Villain of the Piece,’’wa.s submitlerl hy the. Alisios G. Cliarnley, N. Harris ami R. AVifson. Miss M. Dixon gave that well-known monologue, “Albert an dthc Jiion,’’ relating tlic story in a liiglily deliglitfni ami inconsequential manner. The Misses G. Charnley and N. Harris cloyerly performed a “ Spanisli dance,” which was particularly picturesque. 'The concert conclmlctl with a one-act play, “ Snowed up with the Duchess.” Miss A. AVntsori enacted tho role of tlie Dnehoss of Saltorton with delicate .■-incerity. She »va.s a very unassuming Duchess who sympatliis.;d and tried to help those less favourably circumstanced. Consequently, when lue Dnclioss and her fasliionahlc Erencli dress- maker friend were snowed up with a pom­ pons individual at the house of Mrs. Hodge, it was quite easy for the nompous one to mistake the well dressed friend for tho Duchess, and vice vor.«a. This is what Mrs. Cholinondcley.Jones did, and tho result was very disconcerting to her in the end. As Airs. Cholmondclc.v-Jonos. Airs. S. AVhiteside gave an engrossing study, and Aliss T.
