Mr. Editor: Your enrrespondent "Friend," whose enn. inutinicatiun was published by you on* the 7th ult., proposes a (iestion of grea, im poriance as the law ronu stnids, but which will be of little mnoment as tile law iill, I hope, shortly lie. 116i question is, whether the Commis sioneet of Roads can, conaisint ly with law, refuse license to a man of good character, who offiers to coimily with the inttutory requiiiions. Fron tile lone of his coltniintalion, it is manifest that he iq a good main in search of iruib, with a view to the conscieiineos perlermtnce or hii duty ; and is thern r re, eniited to the best advice whieh can be suggested. Al though not compelent to oler the best, I will give the best within Ny power, aud Ieg him seriously to consider it. Your corresponient appears to he a Comumissioner of Ilotis t amdi %ill, in doub, perceive that tle primuiy. dhv en. I risied it) him. relates to the rep irine of tle public highoways.
