He then drew attentiou to the evidence, and peinted out that the evideece of detectives end policemen wee of a cisme that did not stand very high in a court of law. The Case for the Crown rested largely upon ouch eieldenee. Re re- ferred to the money and meatus at the dis- poet ef the Crown, and toe leek of both in the one of the Iptisonere, Mr. Retitl- ed° then reviewed the evidence of the defen es witnesses. In Denoted= he pointed eut that the evidence Wigenthey circumstantial, and thsat in many cane lune - cent people had suffered through such eveletsce.

Meldssy, counsel for Walker, followed him, and spoke fer aue hour. Be poiseted out that It would be impossible for the prbiener Walker to go out to Williams' place along with eleWhirrell on Thursday, the 14tb,and said tbat througeout the whole tratanactien he was MoWhirrell's servant.

MoWhirrell e cerbeinly bo - sleeting to sonneolat e the danger of his position, but Walker is apparently am different au ho wee on the day when. he was f.rat placed en Wen When the centre met this moreitig Mr. 'Robinette rammed his oroes.examination .of Mrs. Stableford, et Woburn, and pined the admiration of everybody ?regent by the ekilful manner in wntoh he handled the wittiest. He Glinted front her in answer to hie gantlets an explanation whioh pate in a new /ight the remark or MeWhir. yell that "an old woman had been killed, and they say I did it." At the time he geld this MoWhirrell was reading the 'Wedgy Mail, which contained an acessunt ef the murder and a description of the Toting Englislaman who had been making ingeiriee for the house of the old couple on Thursday, December 14th, the day ef the killing. It le natural to euppoee that Meneherrell, knowing that he hail been mearelaing for the Williams plate on that fatal dey, would ree.ddy unrIerstand that he was the man wanted. The kneb of the hunting crop was then produced, and Mrs. Stableford repeated t es statement thet she Anew it as that which had been owned by the ptieener. She and that MeWhirrell told her he had broken the stick, but she would net wear to the time that he had told her se, and she remembered he had taken the knob out of his overooab pocket, -and, raying that he would not lose lb for a geed deal as he had brought it frem Eng- land, piacedit Ell the deck ehelf. nne weuld not swear as to the date on which this bad eiceurree, whether before he bed gene away on December 13th or after he had come back.

Thie stick: which was pro- duced had been ess whibbled ab one end that it would fit into the handle. Deteetive De.713 told the story of Mo. Whirrell's arrant and the statement made by the prironer. The only new point enreught out in his evidence Weis that the detective force were unabie to find where the Maslen horse hed been stabled in Toronto on Thursessy night. Neither he.d the Per. iamb cep and tweed Menem belonging to MoVehirrell been toned. The revolver and ether articles stolen from Williams' house had net been recovered.

The jury brought in a verd et of guilty in the cam of leleddhirrell, and Walker wae acquitted. Then came a death -like silence au Welker was led away. The court -room was crowded to anffecetien.

The excitement was intone. When His Lerdehip teid MeWhirrall to stand up, they were perhaps the two pereons letien excited In the genre) room. His Lordship then asked the primmer if he bad anything to say why min hence ebenld rob be posed upon him. The primmer mid " YES, MY LORD," and then be began to weak, and tell hie story ef the fatal nights. He aileged he was innocent to the late He spoke for over two house. Sometimes be had hie bands in his peckete and when he gob excited he would pound the reel ef the dook with his fist. He would step frequently in the middle of his MAMA to say, "My Lord, I do not say this because I expest mercy. You have to do your duty. I am nob afield to die." As he neared the end he said, "1 bays faced death often before, I ewer' It as a boy in Afghani's - tan, etrrying despatithes ; I feted deeth In Burmah, In Egypt and in the Sowlen with bullets flyirg around me like hail.

This feeling of satis- faction is enhance i by the opportunities which I ha % e already enjoyed of visiting, and In me official capacity renewing at quaintance with, sevorel of the chief centres of the enterprise ancl activity of this Dominion; nor nerd I re- frain from assuring Yon that 1 havebeen deeply impressed by the heartiness of the reception accorded to me as Hoe Modesty's Viceroy and reuresen ative, a reception which ha a once more manifested the loyalty, the cordiality and the public sphit of the Canadian people. My predecessor was able to exptessgratifi- cation to you lai last year on an increate n trade and on tbe continued progress of tbeDominion. It is gratifying to nie to observe that the ex- pectation which was than formed -that the volume of trade during the then (=rent year would exceed that of any year in the historyof tbe Dominion -hs been fully realized andtnat Canada's progress °mantes, with everymark of stability and permanence. It may be ob- served with satisfaction that a large propor- tion of the increase is shown to have been due to an extension of our commerce with Great Britain. It is a cause of tha,nkfulnets that our people have been spared in a very great de- gree from the sufferinvs 'which have visited the populations 01 60010 other countries during many months past, and. that while the com- mercial depreseion prevailing abroad could not but affect the activity of Meilen in the Dominion we have been free from any exten. site anancial &water or widespread distress.

There will also be laid before you a measure on the subject of bankruptcy and in- solvenom which will, it is hoped, make more adequate provision than now exiStS on that subject for the increasing trade and commerce of the country, and for the greatly expanded trade between the several Provineee of Canada.
