Tree. Mo LzsvaN vs W. R. SQtIZR.-
The defendant war charged by plain-
tiff with having been guilty of fraud, in
appropriating certain moneys which
should have leen applied to the purposes
of plaintiff. The following is the state-
ment of the defendant, which we publish
injustice to him:--
In the early part of 1875, deft. was
employed by plft to obtain a patent for
his land in the township of Howlok, upon
which the latter had negotiated a loan of
1350, in 1864, of which he obtained
$180, the balance having been retained
bythe law firm which effected the loan.
pon enquiry the defendant found that
this sum had been obtained through the
firm of Toms & Moore, then ppraotiaing
in Goderich, front Daniel Wilson, and
that the amount then due Wilson was
$963, which sum was *rade up as fol-
lows: 1350 amount of original loan;
1405.37, interest on loan foreleven years
and seven months at 10 per cent.;
amount subsequently advanced by Wil-
son to obtain patent, 1170, with interest
for seven years and one week at ten per
oent ($71.61), Deet of ejectment suit,
118.52, in all $1015.50. Internet had
been paid Wilson on his claim through Mr.
Johnston to the amount of 152.58, leav-
ing 1963 due Wilson to the 14th of Jan.,
1876. In addition to the above deft.
oharged plfi with 1161.75, the amount
of execution discharged in the case of
Lutz re McLennan, rendered necessary
before a further loan could be negotiat-
ed. The above with oosts, chargee and
small sums given plaintiff foot up
$1211.48. The net proceeds of the
loan effected by defendant were 1986.30,
leaving a balance due defendant upon
closing the matter, of $225.18. The de-
fendant on the let of AsguYt, 1876,
obtained from Mr. Tunis hie note at 60
days for $900, the proceeds of which
were credited to the plaintiff when paid.
Until Mose, 18771 wham Mr. Tama pent a
father tem of fide, plaintiff continued
indebted to defendant. Independently
of above sums, the plaintiff is charged by
the firm of Squier & McColl with 180,
paid in small sums at different times
prior to Sept. 1877. Defendant's account
against plaintiff therefore amounted to
$1,271.48 and the plaintiff is entitled to
the credit of $986.30; and $360 received
from Mr. Toms, leaving a balance on
Sept., 1877, due McLennan of 174.82.
The item of 160 is disputed by
plaintiff; who says that it should
be $32, but defendant claims upon
report from his Bruaaels office, that it
should be $60. If the plaintiff is correct
defendant would, in Sept, 1877, have
owed 1102.82; if the hooks and Vouchers
of defendant are correct he was indebted
to plaintiff at that date to the extent of
$74.82. Defendant has since paid plain-
tiff $9.40 which would leave his in-
debtedness to the latter either 165.42 or
193,44. Referenoes of this account hays
been made to several persons named by
plaintiff, but as his demands ranged from
$450 to $2,000, defendant found it im-
poesible to effect any settlement. The
plaintiff on the 28th of Dec. 1880, de-
manded 1850 in settlement, and threat-
ened prosecution. Defendant refused to
accede to his demand. Hence the pres-
ent case. After the hearing, the de-
fendant was ordered to give bail, him-
self in $500, and two sureties in $250
each, to plead to any indictment that
might be made against him at the next
Court of Oyer and Terminer. The
necessary bonds were furnished.

an, Esq., who departed this life yester

Serious AccidEnt. - Last Tuesday
forenoon as James, eldest eon of Wm.
Warner, living near Brussels, was chop-
ping in a swamp about 12 miles from
home, a tree full, a portion of it
striking hint on the head and completely
severing the scalp from the skull, on tho
left side of the head, and causing it to
fall over on his neck and shoulder ex •
posing the skull. At the time of the ac-
cident there was only a boy with him,
but fortunately they were near a shanty
from whence he got help to lift the tree
off him. He was conveyed home in . a
sleigh by kind friends, in an insensible
condition. Medical asci chore was soon
procured and the wound dressed about
four hours after the accident. At latest
accounts he was progressing very favor
ably. His escape from instant death was
little short of miraculous. -[Post.
The London Free Prise expresses the
general sentiment when it says: -"A
Union Station at Clinton is talked of -
and it ought to have been accomplished
long before now. Travellers on both
lines would appreciate a change in the
direction indicated." That a union sta
tied would be an improvement on the
present situation, no one for a moment
doubts, but we are afraid that unless
some pressure is brought to bear on the
Railway Companies, no action will be
taken. We would euggeet that the
town Council move in the spatter, as
anything emanating front a municipal
body generally carries more weight than
would the same from private individuals.
The Grand Trunk Railway will soon re-
quire to erect a new station house, not
only for the convenience of the public,
but fur their own benefit and security.
The present building is a disgrace to the
Company, and will not last much longer,
and in anticipation of a new one being
erected, efforts should be made to
either have a union of the two stations,
or get the Grand Trunk moved further
west. Let action be taken in the matter
at once.

A few months ago George A. Powles,
of Toronto, secured a situation as claasi-
dl teacher in the Kincardine High
SchooL He was found to be incompetent,
and was not re-engaged for 1881. His
chances for re-engagement not being
good under the circumstances, ho
endeavored to alter them, and conceived
the brilliant idea of writing very flatter-
ing testimonials, accompanied by private
communications about himself, and sign
ing the name of B. Freer, Principal of
the High School. In applying for a
position in the Vienna High Scheel, his
testimonials were of such "superior ex •
osience" that their authenticity wax
doubted. This led to revelations, and
the following post -card, bearing the for
god name of Mr. Freer, was forwarded
to that gentleman:
Knsc•enina, Dec. 7, 1880.
