The trial of the Melancthon` Town-
ship arson cases takes place at the

At the Woodstock assizes last fall,
Mrs. Jane Armour, an old Ingersoll
lady, secured $400 and costs against
the corporation for serious injuries
sustained through a fall on an ley side-
walk in front, of Mr. Mauninti's resi-
dence. The CAN was appealed and,
was heard at Osgoode Hall, the appeal
being dismissed This case is likely to

in the neighborhood of $700 or $800.
A. few weeks ago the claim was
made that the Books of ex -County
Treasurer Wright were correct, and
that an examination of thorn waulcl
show that there was no shortage, as.

was alleged that the interest on delin-
quent taxes was chair getl.in a way that
made 1r appear there was shortage
when there was none. The county
auditors have now 181110 an examina-
tion of the books and report that the t;hofa
shortage does exist, and that therewas 1111411„
