was the right oath I swear to the best of
istered it." That, sari the positive testi-
mony of Vanstone and bounden that it
WWI the right oath, and that it bad been
taken by the prisoner, disposed of the
first two points. On the third point, as to
whether the prisoner had taken the oath
with a full knowledge that he was doing
wrong, there was .trona evidence that
due warning had been go en at different
times and places. He was warned on
the 25th of May by Mr. Prou foot,
nearly a month before polling day ;
also on the 10th of June by Mr. Dan-
cey ; afterwards he was cautioned on
polling day by Mr. Swanson, and Dan -
cep. Swanson's testimony had not been
rebutted in any way, and in the witness -
box he had given his evidence in an
honest, straight -forward manner; even
the testimony of Elliott did not in any
particular contradict Swanson's; Elliott
merely proved that he drove Sturdy to
the polling place, and left him outside.
He did not see hint. enter. Mr. Skim-
mings also saw Swanson and Sturdy in
conversation. In addition to those al-
ready named Mr. Proudfoot also warned
Sturdy on polling day. Under these
circumstances it could hardly be suppos-
ed that Sturdy had not had ample warn-
ing. It was the duty of every true man
to endeavor so far as in him Ly to pre-
serve the purity of clectiot.s, and she
jury in this instance had an opportunity
of passing opinion as to whether or not
there had been an infringement on the
part of defendant. Unfortunately, in
some instances grave outrages on the
election law had been perpetrated, and
allowing such things to be was striking
at the root of one of our most sacre
rights- the pure exorcise of the fran-
chise. At one election in Quebec[ there
had been hundreds, perhaps a thousand
frauds perpetrated, and in an American
case pages of a directory from an out-
side place had been entered on the poll
book. The case before the jury was not
one of that kind, but there were many
ways of violating the election act. This
case, hinged upon three pointe, to which
he had drawn attention: If the jury
had any doubt regarding these points
they should give the defendant the bene -

was to the swine effect as that given be-
fore the magistrates court and published
last week, with the exception of Mr.
Addison's, which was as follows :
To Mr. Doyle :
I took up the oath on tho card and
read it about half way through. Saund-
ers said that it was not the right one ; I
followed on from where I left off, till I
reached the end. He took the oath ; I
do not know where I left off, before I
finished the oath ; I am quite Jost about
it ; I cannot swear. There might be a
word or two, or perhaps a sentence for
what I know. I knew he was to be
aworn, for I saw him at the window, and
Saunders said he (Sturdy) has to be
Sworn.
To Mr. Hedging.
I am an old official in elections for 14
years, and never had any fault found
with my duties as deputy -returning offi-
cer; I have always endeavored to do my
full duty ; I believe I did my full duty
in the late election ; to the best of my
recollection I read the whole oath ; tt
was my intention to give the whole oath,
and I believe I did no ; I don't remem-
ber making a remark to Mr. Vanstone
about Mr. Sturdy's vote : I said when
I saw his face at the window : "There's
John Sturdy, of Winghamt come to
vote," and Mr. Saunders replied "I am
going to swear him;" I told the poll
clerk to enter "John L. Sturdy, hotel
keeper, Wingham, "t" (tenant) "s"
(sworn) on the poll book ; I know he
lived at Wingham ; it meant that Jahn
L. Sturdy voted as tenant and was
sworn ; I read the whole oath, perhaps I
may have lost some of it ; I read
all the oath to the end, unless it was a
word or sentence I may have left out
when I stopped ; I trier have read about
"the electoral district, but I cannot call
it to my mommy ; there was a turmoil,
and I couldn't remember all ; if there is
anything I want to stay in my memory
I can keep it for years ; 1 I committed
it to memory I could keep it for twenty
years. I cannot venture t , say it was
road or was not.
The new witnesses were Georgie Swan-
son, Frank Elliott, W. Skiniininge and
J. A. Morton.

At ;one o'clock the jury came into
Court, and the foreman said : Some of
them are saying they will hold out for a
week from Saturday. We have a diffi-
culty. We agree that he took the oath;
some maintain that he did not know he
was taking a false oath, others believe he
did.
His Lordship read Proudfoot's and
Swanson's evidence, snowing that the
prisoner had been warned. Other points
were also cleared up by the judge, and
the jury retired again at 9.40.

The foreman said: We were nearer an
agreement than ever before; only one
man out of accord with the others; he
will not convict the than, but he cannot
show why.
His Lordship --Every one feels that a
jury should not be coerced, but a juror
ought to be able to give s reason. I
don't desire to impeach him, but jurors
must often do a painful and ditagreeable
duty, but they should do it. A juryr
should reason with his fellows, but it is
as
unreonable if he says I will give no
reason, and I won't agree.
Foreman --He gays he can't agree, but
can give no reason consistent with the
evidence. We all respect the juror for
maintaining his ground oonsistently, but
he can'tso

The jury again retired for ten minutes.
Coming in for the third time, the fore-
man of the jury said, " We bring the
prisoner in 'Guilty,' but strongly recom-
mend him to the mercy of the Court."
His Lordship and the jury decided
that the prisoner was not guilty on the
first assignment (that of tenancy), but
was guilty of the second sasignment, in
swearing as to being • resident
