Bender, of Hensel), came before Police Magistrate Andrews at Clinton, on Thursday, and was settled by Bender pleading guilty to the charge of bringing liquor into Huron County, contrary to the provisions of the Cana- da Temperance Act. A fine for a second offence was imposed, $100 and costs which amounted to about 397— about $200 in all. Bender has decided to quit the hotel business and has sold his hotel to Mr. Acheson, of the King George Hotel. Ir, a case brought under the Canada Temperance Act a short time ago, against Thomas Stephens, hotelkeeper of Seaforth, the prosecution showed that some liquor was found on the pre- mises, but not in the barroom. Law- yer Best, who acted for Stephens, put no evidence in, but he contended that, as no liquor•was found in the barroom, the prosecution must prove that the liquor found in any other part of the premises was there for sale, and that it is only where any liquor is found in the barroom that it is, under the act, deemed to be kept for sale. The police magistrate, Mr. F. Holm- sted, K. C , accepted Mr. Best's con- tention and dismissed the case. Mr. Seager, who was acting for the prose- cutor, argued that the liquor. is deemed `to be kept for sale if found anywhere in the hotel premises and declared he would tarty the case to a higher court. It is reported that Mr. Seager has since found that Mr. Best's contention was right and that it would be useless for him to appeal. The decision is an4 im- portant one from the hotelkeepers' standpoint.

It was with general regret that our citizens learned on Saturday morning, Sept. 4th, of the death of Mr. Thomas Laidlaw, after an illness extending over twelve months. He was one of our most highly esteemed citizens, a man of excellent qualities, upright in all his dealings, and his word was al- ways as good as his bond. The late Mr. Laidlaw was born in Scotland in the year 1836 and came with his parents in the same year to Ameri- ca where they settled in the State of Illinois. His father died three years later and the widow and children mov- ed to Halton County, Ont. In the year 1851, he with his mother and elder brothers (all deceased) came to Morris and settled on lots 7 and 8, concession 9. They were the seventh family to settle in the township. Here he en- dured all the privations and trials of the early settler, but through energy and with that,undomitab.le spirit that en- sures success managed to hew out a home for himself on lot north half 8, concession 9, where he lived until fifteen years ago when he retired and has since lived in Blyth. In religion the late Mr. Laidlaw was a staunch Presbyterian and in politics a Liberal. He was mar- ried in the year 1863 to Miss Margaret Armour who predeceased him some years. To this union was born a family of five, one of whom died in infancy. Those surviving are:—William on the farm in Morris; Mrs. F. D. Stalker, East Wawanosh; Mrs. W. J. Tough, Stanley and Miss Annie H. at home, all of whom have the sympathy of a wide circle of friends in their bereavement.
