The necessity or the authority for sending Mr Ferguson a clerk to adjudicate the case of Eliza Gaston versus, J. T Murray is not perceived. 

Under the circumstances, however, it is deemed inadvisable that any further action in this case beyond remitting the fine imposed upon Murray by Ferguson, as this action however justified by the facts was taken without due authority.
