below last night and it looks as though
it might be even worse than that to-

you thnt we don't need our earlaps
drawn as we sit beside the stove or
that we have to eat our meals from
the frying pan for fear of frost, the
ladies were out for their usual after-

Barron. The trial occupied the whole
day and at the close of the evidence
for the defence., Judge Barron dis-
missed the charge. holding that there
was no evidence whatever to substan-
tiate the accusation of the prosecutor.
Mr. Rowcliffe was thereupon honor-
ably acquitted. Much interest was
taken in the case owing to the large
and respectable fancily connections of
both Sawyer and Rowcliffe. The end
of the trouble is not yet in sight. Mr.
i{owellffe has already issued a writ
ngain,t Mr. Sawyer fur $2,M0 dant,tg-
es for slander and trespass and is pro-
ceeding in another nctton against Mr.
Sawyer and the magistrate for $5,000
for malicious prosecution and false ar-
rest. At the trial in Stratford Mr.
Sawyer was represented by Mr. G.
McPherson, K.O., of Stretford, and
J. 'V, Graham, of St. Merys. while
Mr. Rowcliffe was defended by Mr. 1 .
H. Dickson. of Exeter.
