Pollard is neither alleged, -nor insinuat-

nsinuat-e1. The most peculiar thing about the
action against Mr. Pollard is that the
informer in the case is no. leu a person:,
age than Mr. Thos. E. Hays, the de-
feated of East .Huron ; but when it is
c)nsidered that Itr. Hays is at present
n good deal out of pocket by his efforts
t) " redeem " East Huron, and that he
has bled heavily for his party. we are
led toYik he isonly carryingout thegood
old Tory dost ipe of endeavoring to"re-
coup" himself. Mr. Hays was looked
upon as a well-to-do farmer by the Con-
servative party -as one both abloand
willing to be bled to bolster his ambi-
tious longings-aud on that account was,
in all probability, kindly permitted to
