ber 30 the Cosner and Jury again
met in Clinton) when the retort of
the analyst was reel etating that the
quantity of arsenic.. Mond in the parts

he thought "vas more likely to have
derived from arsenio injected'into the
body of deceased after death, by the
embalmer, than from the arsenic ab-
sorbed by the tissues during life," It

nee Ontario Legislature was pro-
, rogued on 'Monday last.
Ma. joule BnowN, of Toronto, is
announced as an independent midi -
date for West Huron for the Local
Legislature.
Mn. J. L. Htionesa'of Toronto, has
been nominated by the Conservative
Association of Peel to contest that
county for the Local Legislature.
A PRoTES'a has been filed against the
return of Dr. Montague for Heidi -
mend for the. House of Commons.
The returning officer is made a co -res.
pondent with Dr. .Montague. The
petition alleges personal 'bribery as
' well as bribery by agents, and asks
Lor
• for the disqualification of the doctor.
DESPITE the attractions of the West,
Ontario's &bile lands still have a
power to draw ^settlers. During the
year'1889 tee Crown Lands Depart -
'anent' sold 53,540 acres, and granted
1850 locations to 'settlers convering
1114,050 acres. There were also 886
loatents granted to locatees. Ontario,
- like the'other (miter!' provinces, 'yet
liras much fertile land unoccupied, and
though the'pioneers' work is harder
than orrahe prairies, there are advan-
tages in fhe proximity of markets,
and consequent higher prices for
produce, that make the eaten, invest -
Ment of labor a profitable one.
According to Mr Watson, M. P. for
'Marquette, the farmers of Manitoba
will have this year to pay as a tax to
Easterb manufaoturers, a BUM of
$40,0u0 on their Binding twine.
• "Think of it," remarks the Winnipeg
Free Press, "$40,003 as'a tax on the
little bits of string they are obliged
to use in tying up tae wheat sheaves
And when the wheat is threshed
• they ship it Bast over 1,500 miles of
railway, and get barely enough for
it to pay for the raising --perhaps
as has heppened in many cases, sell
it for les than it actually costs th
pot it on the market. No Wintry
ander the son can get along et this
rate.'
THE EDWARDS-WHITEL'Y
POISONING CASE.
(yrot/lair (Sidon 1.1ltwe4lecorat)
Perhaps clever in tile history of
this locality has there bean a cats in
welder as mech interest has been taken
as in what ie termed the E tweeds-.
Wititely poisoning cale. The pecaliar-
Wee of the disesae, which terminated
in the death of Hag t James Whitely,
who died otathe 23rd of May, 1888,
were the subject of talk at the, time,
. period only to be revived. in the fell 11" LL(18"ms thon6vous terlsloo
hut the matter died out in a ior 5
•returned a verdict that re.
fi y
3. Whitely came to bis death from
poisoning, criminelly administered
to hitn by Mrs. Edwards.
Interest in the case never ceased
during the incarceration •of the un-
fortunate accused, who was committed
to prison at Goderiob, and as the
Assize Court sitting approached the
public in this section entered into
speculation as to the probable result,•
opielon being divided ae to the out-
come of her trial. The trial was sup•
posed to be taken up on Wednesday
and the court room was filled ; many
were refused admittance owing to it
being already crowded. The case did
not come tea until Thursday at 9 in
the morning, when the room was again
crowded.
Coma being openea a jury was
empanneted ; the defence making use
of a few challenges, and sworn, when
one of them,. Mr. Dant, became so ill
that he bad to be exaused. Tiiis
necessitated their being discharged
a:ad a new'jury sworn in consisting of:
Sidney Jaeltion, Seaforth ; Wale Bsll,
Ho wick ; J. liedmoiara aweaosle ;
James Elliot, Tarnlierry; ;Alex.
Gardner, Meiaillop ; John Trevethick,
Stepheis ; Anderson, Turnberry';
S. Kerr, Weavanoste; 11, Gibson,
Turnberry: MeLean, alorrie; Thos.
13oyd, Celborne, • and Hiram Fislier,
Hullett. •
• It may be seated that the Grand
'Jury broualit in .a true hill for murder
and for administeringpoison with crimi-
nal intent. The Crown, boweeer,
having no evidence that Whitely's
death was caused by poison abandoned
the capital charge and 'proceeded with
that.of giving poison .with criminel
intent. Mr. E.E. B.Johnston, for the
Crown, presented the ease to • the jury
in an impartial manner quite com-
patible with the dignity of the inter -
eats he represented.
Minnie Johnston was the first
•witnesi called and she repeated sake
etantially the sante statements. as` she
made before the magistrates' and
coroner's courts at Clinton in Decom-t
bar . last, Mr. 'al. C. Cameron
made a °mead 'cress examination

ingenuity and persistence was reward•

well as on histordship the'Judgeatime
:evidently cased them to come to the
'eoucluefon that a crime of so serious
a•charadter should not be fastened on
the accused by a self-aelenowledged
aacom pike 'wiphout other and positive.;
fy corroborative testimony. As this
wasnot forthcoming it took the jury
onlyatebout seven minutes to bring in
aeveraiet of "Not Guilty." •
he epperteance of the accused was
not sharked by any signs of having
