EX-TREASURERTHE LATE HARRY WESTLAKE Mr. Henry Westlake passed away suddenly on .Saturday morning at his home on the 4th concession of Us­ borne Township. The deceased was in his 5 8th year. He had been in poor health for about 14 years and at different times he had been critically ill, but of late he has been able to be around and his death came as a sudden shock to the fam­ ily and his friends. Mrs. Westlake had arisen and noticed that some­ thing was wrong but befo're medical aid could be secured Mr. Westlake had passed away. The deceased had been a life-long resident of Usborne Township. He is survived by his widow whose maiden name was Rhoda Squire, also four sons and two daughters: Calvin, of London; William, Charles. John, Violet and Mary at home. He is also survived by one brother and two sisters, Jas., of Exeter North; Mrs. Joseph Hayes, of Devil’s Lakp, N.D. and Mrs. Su- son. Poirer, of Kenmore, N. D. The funeral was held Monday afternoon Conducted by Rev. J. H. Stainton and was largely attended. Mrs. Archie Morgan sang a very impressive solo. The pall-bearers were Messrs. Rich. Yellow, Geo. Etherington, Clayton Frayne, F. W. Down, Percy Pass- more and Peter Moir. Interment took place in the Exeter cemetery. Judgment was reserved by the ap­ pellate court at Osgoode Hall, Tor­ onto on Monday in the appeal brought by the attorney-general's department of Ontario against the sentence imposed upon Gordon Young, former Huron County treas­ urer, by Police Magistrate C. A. Reid. “The magistrate ought not to look at the social position of the accus­ ed,” stated Joseph Sedgwick, K.C., of the attorney-general's department at Osgoode Hall during the hearing of the appeal. The attorney-genera'l’s department claim the sentence of 12 months de­ finite to six months indefinite for embezzlement and destruction of books and records, imposed on Mag­ istrate Reid, was insufficient. Magistrate Reid, in stating his reasons for imposing a light sen­ tence on the former treasurer, point­ ed out that Young was 68 years old and had previously borne a good character. His salary had been re­ duced from $1,800 to $1,30’0' a year and being married with seven chil­ dren, he had found it impossible to replace the money taken. Might Aggravate Offense Joseph Sedgwick claimed good social position and good character might aggravate rather than paliate the offense. He contended a reform­ atory sentence was intended for a young man who might reform. This contention met with strong opposi­ tion from the Court from C. Thompson, counsel for Young. “The ordinary intention of NOTICE TO CREDITORS RE: JOHN WESLEY ARMSTRONG late of the Township of Usborne, in the County of Huron,. Farmer, deceased.
