of Home Rule and the action taken by Can-

years. The Irish showed great pauemoe
and moderation, bung encouraged by feel-
ings of hope in it great timglish party. hope
in the British democracy and hope in the
opinion of the world --all this restrained
them. The blessed work of reconciliation
meantime went ea. The feeling that [frit•

the knowledge t British .tausmea were
looking .t Ireland for themselves and that

ances of the Irish people, all were impor-

Continuing, he said, that he then turned
to the senior which were opened to him :
to the Law=liocisty, to University matters,
to the pleasing task of making himself
familiar with kis own family, etc., from
which his political duties had somewhat
estranged him.
Referring to his acceptance of the oder of
• seat in the British House of Commons he
said : " 1 did not hesitate. Why ! Because
I thought that, neat to my supreme duty,

Then Mr. Blake made • moat earliest ap
peal for material aid, based on the schism
in the Irish ranks acid the detention of •

won amount of the demands for evicted

Mr. Blake candidly told his hearers that
he anticipated that the passage of Home
Rule would be protracted some two or
three years. He would give bis services to
Ireland for those years, and be pleaded that
Canadian Irishmen would do their share by
contributing according to their means.
The object of Home Rule was the next
topic Mr. Blake dealt with. In doing this
the honorable gentleman spoke in almost
identical terms with those be used when in
Longford and others countries in Ireland.
Proudly said he, "1 don't change my opinions

meat was received with loud cheers.
At Length Mr. Blake spoke in favor of
preserving and safe -guarding the rights of
the minority. These views, he said, had
met with approval of both Catholics and
Protestants n Ireland wherever he Itad
.m-.s"iated them.
Tina MOST VITAL g0f0TIO*.
The land question was dealt with by Mr.
Blake at considerable length. He favored
the conversion of the smaller holders into
one of ownership. Something in this direc•
tum had already been done, but the work
required completion : the creation of auth-
orities tor the competency purchase of lands
and to ire public funds for the purpose.
Mr. Blake said he would relieve the r-
geeted districts by the tnusplactation .f
the poor tenant& who, if they held rent 1. es,
could not live, to sore favorable district:.
" Thus osl n we hope to make Ireland a
permanen retested and prosperous
oountry. cadiffiodtres are great, but
not insuperable. In the forming of the
Hate Rale measure attention would be
ggmiven to the preservation of the interests of
1•adlorde nmd tenants. Able then are now
devoting their energies to the question, and
I believe that soon we shall see a good
Howie Rule bill introduesd. God speed it.
See that you help in that measure and the
speeding of that day."
In conclusion Mr. Blake expressed his
gratitude for the generous way in which he
had been received in Ireland and England
alike, and which had touched his heart mon
deeply than ooald anything else, nave the
affection of home.The boss _

" 1 am very muoh pleased to bear from
the crown that an ample apology bas been
made by you, even at this late hour, and
that the counsel for the prosecution has
asked that on that amount as light a sen•
tome as peesible should be passed. Hui the
apology not been given I would have devoted
it my duty to have sentenced you to a term
of imprisosmv.t, owing to the grew nature
of the libel perpetrated. In coovideratioa
of your ample apology, and the application
made by the counsel for the prosecution at
the Inatome of Mr. Cameron, I shall time-
ly impose a nominal fine ops you of $5, to-
gether with all Mr. M. C. Cameron's meta of
prosecution."
In this manner did his Lordship Justice

teooe upon him for the atrocious lib. upon

The convicted man was standing before
his lordship, the picture of woe ; the court-
room was crowded to the doors; there was
a hush over the audience after B. B. (iter,
the big criminal lawyer from Toronto, had
read Mitchell's apology and had asked that

It was the closing scene in the trial of the
man who had published the first attack on

was a fitting one for the spreading abroad
of the fact that then was not • shred

THE APOLOGY.
Courthouse, Godericb, Sept 20, 18g2. -
With refereeoe to the article 'n The Star
of the 15th July, 1892, beaded, "Justice
Baulked Again." it is due to M. C. Camer-
on,
ameron, Q. C., to make the following statement:
The article in question was founded upon
erroneous information received in good
faith by this paper.
Upon preparing our defence to the tree
bill found for libel at the recent assizes •
rigid examination was mane of •11 the evi-
dence which could be given in support of
the plea of justification of the libel charged.
It w found by conned that it was impos-
sible to plead justification of the article.
The evidence in support of the
charge against Mr. Cameron
that he had seduced Ellen
Lomas was found to be wholly
unreliable.
We regret exceedingly tee publication of
the article in question and apologize to Mr.
C3tpmeron and his family for the pain which
the unjust accusation u question must have
caused them.

to the prop of pubination, and the tact
whether it was libelous. The dehisce were
not allowed to go osteide of this.
1t not being • privileged ootamion, the
evidence was very soon ended, mud Mr.
Kine ea behalf of Mr. Mitchell, addressed
tee jury, and urged haat the article bad
been written in good faith, that • young
girl had been ruined, had died, and no one
had wea raised • hand to enquire; that
Mr. Cameros had riot taken say steps to
promote an enquiry ; neither had the Strat-
ford Home, to which institution she was re-
committed when her condition became ap-
parent_ He also pointed out the delemd-
ent's otter to willingly retract if Mr. Cam-
eron could prove himself innocent.
Mr. Ogler, Q.C. on behalf of the private
prosecutor, followed, and made a stroU
point by asking if British justice required
that a man should have to prove himself in-
nocent or in the alternative remain under
an imputation such as contained in the arta•
cle referred to. The •evideooe of the girl
Gordon, taken before Mr. Alex. Downey d
Toronto, wax produced in court, and Mr.
King offered to read it, but Dot having
pleaded a justification, he could not do se.
He also stated that the girl was anxious to
give ber evidence. Mr. Oaks said
when a man made an imputation
against • persons character. it nus no an-
swer to Come into court and, thlozh his
counsel, whine and my, true, he not
substantiate his facts, but be w mis-
taken and should go unwhipt. More sere
should have been taken to asoertun the
real truth as to the settlement of t:r eg
case.
His Lordship, Mr. Justice Street, sib'
dressed the jury briefly, and pointed out
the simple anus. for their consideration,
namely : Was the article published by
Mitchell, and was it • libel' Malice was
presumed in the absenw of any attempt to
justify.
Thejury after retiring • few minutes, re-
turned with a verdiot of guilty. Sentence
was deferred until 8. p.m. Mr. Ostler,
when court was resumed, moved for sen-
tence. In doing so he stated that Mr. Mit-
chell had carefully considered the situation,
and had submitted to him, as council for
the private prosecutor, an apology for pub-
lication in his journal, which appears else-
where in this report.
