A QUESTION OF LAW. -Aad. East
ern Ontario man asks this question:
An apple >tree stands so close to a
division fence that about one-quar-
ter of the 'apples fall on the adjoin-
ing lot Can the owner of the tree
go, and pick up the apples, or do
they belong to the man on whose
field they drop ? The answer given
by a lawyer is asfollows :-A man
may go upon the lead of another to
recover his . property, but if he does
and damage he will be liable there-
for. If the: children. do no damage
and: merely pick up the fallen fruit
and carry them to the owner of the
tree the action for damages would
fail. The apples 'do not belong to
the man on whoae lot they fall, they
belong ,to the owner of the tree.

TacTaztyre, former. member r u h'
Perth in the Federal House, died at
his residence here this .morning of
lnuscular rheumatism, which he con,1
tracted some time ago at Lake of
fBays lair. MacLntyre waded in the
water a great deal while ,supervising
certain contract, work and in thisman
ner was stricken with his fatal ill-
ness For 'a considerabletime he

GIVEN .SIX YEARS.
Goderich Nov: 26. -Notwithstanding
a strong appeal by his counsel fax
leniency Robert Gordon was to -day
sentenced by Mr. Justice Britton to
six years in Portsmouth penitentiary.
His lordship held out no hope that
an applicatidn of reduction of the
penalty would succeed.
After leaving the court room Gor-
don expressed the opinion that his
sentence was reasonable. He had en-
tertained ahope that a shorter term
might have been imposed, but he had
no complaint to make:
Mr. R. S. Hays said that no ap-
peal is ' being. blade, or any . attempt
under way at present to obtain a re-
duction of the penalty, Goodcon-
duct in prison automatically reduces
the term he pointed out, and
there is always the possibility of such
a prisoner being paroled.
As advised by the judge the *;rand
jury this morning returned a true
bill on the indictment against the
young. prisonerfor the murder of his
father, Hugh Gordon,` in McKilop Tp,
April 23rd last.
