SCOTTISH JUSTICES'THE MANUAL being an; Alphabetical Compendium
ofof the Powers and Duties Justices of the Peace within Scotland, and of those Points of Law
they are most frequently calledwhich upon to decide. With an Appendix of Forms, Statutes,
Svo.&c. and a Copious Index, price 16s. By William Blair, Esq. Advocate, formerly one
Justices of the Peaceof the Acting of the County of Linlithgow, now one of the Judges in the
Ionian Isles.
" of theAny work from the pen talented son of the most talented Lord President that ever pre-
supreme Court of Scotland,sided in the will ever demand respect, and the name Ahe a warranty for
its talents and authority. The necessity of such a treatise on the duties of Justices of the Peace, „?,
appreciated, when it ismay he best recollected, that the following statutes have been passed since
f|
the last edition of Mr. Tait's work, thereby changing extensively almost the whole powers and Jf
duties of their offices (A
debt Act. General Turnpike1. Small 3. Act. 5. Revenue Laws. 7. Combination Acts; and rf
2. Licensing Act. 4. Game Laws. 0. Friendly Society Acts. 8. Salmon Fishing Act.

" In short, were a Justice to act according to the former treatises, however well suited Vfor th'
publication, withouttimes of their consulting the statutes, or such an excellent digest of them a'l i\
Mr. Blair has now afforded, he would soon, and perhaps to his sad cost, find that he was adminis. y
it wastering the law as and not as it is. $*
" who are called on a moment wJustices at to apply the law, and where no objection is raised t >
induce him to make further inquiry, will find Mr. Blair the best Clerk of Court, who in few, an 1 jm
accurate words,withal most propounds the law. Mr. Blair's work is a self-acting Justice. He ^
weak indeed, that cannot, in one minute,must be place his finger on the offence, punishment, arid JL
' 'mode of procedure. We feel assured that Blair's Justice' will, in Scotland, be what Bur; s' ip
long been in England." LawJustice' has Journal, No. XL ?
