Bell, governor of the Huron Conty Jail, kindly allowed The Signal -Star • to glance through its ,hoary pages. In it were the names of all per- sons in this area who had been 1'odged in jail and the charge for which they were in. First . -on• the. list 'was Joseph William;hson, charged with "selling by auction without a license." He went in,to jail on December 3, 1841, and was discharged the following day. Next entry in the register is that of Benjamin `Meredith who was jailed on February 2, 1842, and discharged on April 14, 1844. The charge against him was "for a debt" and the records show he served two years and two months. Theft, assault and debt were three of the most common charges against citizens in this area some 115 years and 'more ago. The re- cords showed some other charges as: inducing a soldier to desert in 1843; .threats to wife;` cutting and maiming a cow; milking a cow (jail- ed for' two .weeks); stealing a fow riot and tumult; assault anti kick- ' ing a woman. The book showed that in May, 1844, the jail Was empty when it was inspected by a Justice of the Peace. 4, In May, 1845, there were five prisoners in_ The report. _of- .the inspector at that time said: "All Rrisoners are, satisfied, but are •beg - rimes SUNDAY SERVICES IN GODERICH CHURCHfS ST... _.,.GEO-RG 'S - .CHURCH - November 2 -22nd Sunday after Tri»nity. 8.30 a,m.

In April•, 1946, the register show- ed the names of two men., both haying the • same surname, who were :arrested on suspicion of hav- ing killed his wife." In gay, 1846, there Was another man in jail "ar- rested on suspicion of murder:" On August 13, 1846, a man was, arrested on suspicion of "having uttered counterfeit money." The entry of August. 26, 1846, showed that the same man escaped by climbing, over the jail wall. When the 'jail was inspected at that time by a Justice of ,the'Peace his report read:. "Walls needed whitewashing and floors appeared to have. never been, scrubbed for weeks." Arrests for suspicion of murder were recorded in September, 1846, and again in May, 1847: Brewery Water Apparently the, well at the jail was not providing much water in June, 1847, for an entry said: "Prisoners are fetching water for their own use frdln the' brewery." Persons in jail charged with 'tin - sanity" in- sanity" seemed quite numerous over the early years. • Possibly this charge was a blanket one such as the "vagrancy" charge that is used today. Only a few years ago a man was in the Huron County Jail charged with vagrancy. ' When a relative of his was asked what the tioned man was in jail for c as on a charge of vag- rancy) the reply was "I'm not sure but I think it's on a charge of fragrancy." The records show that in 1857 a minister, who had lived in Can- ada for 28 years but who was born at Ayrshire, Scotland, was in jail "for a_-debt21_ lie was_marri had five children. He served three ,rnonths and seven days on the Inmates ears charge. In the Sart Year a man who said his occupation was that of a baker •galve „ his birthplace as "on the sea near the Equator," He was married and had 19 children. The charge against him was that of "destittition. • On January 2,•1858, ,there were "riot- ing." . jailed on r ofe 20 ena g It Was apparently the after- math of a New Year's nay party. Of the 20 men; ten were natives of Ireland, ,nine of Canada and one of Scotland. In 1858, two men of Irish birth` were given three years in peniten- tiary after being lodged . in Huron, Jail on a charge of• rioting. . acne Old_ Pattern What were the most frequent charges against persons in this area exactly 100 years ago—that is in October, 1858? • The records show they were drunkenness, as- sault, theft, disorderly conduct and housebreaking. • In February, 1859, a native .of Michigan living in the 1~furon area was charged with "keeping a house of ill fame." The same Charge was laid in March, 1861, against a man whose occupation was that of a blacksmith and who was a native of England. In, November, 1861, a man was charged with "cutting the ham string of an ox." In July, 1863, another man was charged with stealing an ox. In 1865, a farmer was given ten years in penitentiary for murder. In 1867, a sailor was charged with scuttling a ship. And so went the charges in this area years ago. Several other books are `.at the County Jail also and` they, record the, names:, of: prisoners charges against there ,from 1867 right up to the present time. The prevalence of rabies in Western Ontario is, causing alarm in some centres. Here are shown two federal veterinarians immun- izing' a dog against rabies. Such preventive Cation, reduces ' the, hazard to domestic animals and humans. For the 12 months end- ing March rabies claimed 101. cattle, 10 horses, 14 sheep, 4 swine and one goat. From April 1 to Sept. 30 this ,year the disease was confirmed in 187 cattle, seven horses, 25 sheep and five,,swine.
