AN EXPLANATION. -Irl the last issu of the Advocate there appeared an ar title under the head of Dashwood i. connection with the report of the law suit which.we consider is not onl misleading but unfair and which w think shoe, be set right. In the firs place ive wish to place ourselves righ in the eyes of the public by statin that the regular correspondent is no authority fox• any of the items con tattled in last" week's issue. Regarding the case itself, the boy in question wa to receive a. whipping for talking afte the teacher had forbidden anyone t alk. The boy had merely asked a fel ow pupil how to multiply by one-third The strap had been taken to one of the ether rooms and the boy on being sent o get it gave the. teacher the "'slip' by leaving the school and going home. A note was sent to the teacher by the ether, asking that the boy be not punished, No attention was paid. The oy got his punishment and a good ound one at that, no doubt. As one of the witnesses,who had seen the lad's ands at noon, three hours after the hastisement, testified that the hand was swollen and discolored,and that in is opinion the punishment ,had been 0o severe. These are the plain uu- garnished facts of the case as . the evi- ence which is still in the hands of the agistrate will show. The writer last week states that the time taken by the P. to come to' a decision is criticised y many. 1t may be, but the officer s justified, nevertheless. As some le - al points; were not clear to his mind decided to cornrntlnicate with the rown Attorney, hence the. delay. He also states that the case was first dis- missed, but at the request of theplain- fe's lawyer he reconsidered his decis- on. The facts are that upon being sked to dismiss the case' the magis- rate replied. that, had he not seen the oy's hand a few hours after the pun- hwent and the:. strap with which he was punished he would dismiss the, ase, but under the circumstances ould reserve judgment. We must Iso confess that we have never seen or heard of the boasted petition and urely think it similar to Tommyy and he Crow, that the writer must have eon asleep and dreamed it. As to the magistrate being prejudiced and his ctions illegal, both counsels have stat - d that he acted fairly and honorably the'matter. We had intended not have nnentioned anything of the se but we feel that such misleading tatements should be corrected. (From Another Source) The Misses' M. C. Jennison and D.M.
