THE EXETER TIMES.
At the. Juno tileaSi011S of Middlesex,
Saturday, the trial of John lTodgins, for
the Exeter woollen mill robbery, area
conoluded,
Hugh Atkinson, of l3erviet and Wm.
Ellwood, of Lucan, tailors, identified
from among the clothing produced as
goods found among the prisoner's
possessions and proven, similar to the
stolen goods. The witnesses said the
prisoner brought the cloth to their
shops in the ordinary way, the former
making a pair of wheel's, and the
latter a suit,;They found the trimmings.
Wm, 13awden and John Forsythe
gave additional testimony as to one of
the horses attached to the rigs which
had stood at the mill the night of the
robbery making a peculiar mark with
the toe of one foot, as though_walking
on the toe.
Reeve Corbett, of MeGillivray, re-
sides Lear Hodgins, and knew a horse
he owned a year ago. The animal had
a cripple front leg, which caused the
horse to put his toe down first, Witness
saw the horse in March of last year.
He was with Deputy Reeve Drummond
about twelve o'clock one night when he
saw Wells Shouldiee drive past his gate
with the buggy loaded as though
with bags apparently filled. They
followed the buggy, and saw it turn into
the prisoner's gate Witness saw the
prisoner with the horse on into the
summer.
On cross exatnination the witness
said Hodgins never endorsed his notes,
but he endorsed Hodgins' notes to the
extent of $1,000.
Deputy Reeve Drummond corrobor-
ated Reeve Corbett's testimony.
George Macdonald, carriage maker,
Ailsa Craig, remembered seeing Hod,
gins at the village station in Noyember
last in the custody of Detectives Rogers
and Ward. The prisoner asked him for
a piece of paper, and he gave him an
envelope and pencil, with which he
wrote something. The envelope was
produced, torn into pieces, but put to-
gether, which witness indentified. On
these remains of the envelope was
written :-"And tell Jane (Hodgins'
wife) to put the shirt and pants out of
the way. -John Hodgins. •
Tins closed the Crown's case.
His fl oner held that Nvhile suspicious
circumstances might have been shown
there was no evidence upon which, in
fairnesa, he could ask the jury to con-
vict the prisioners. •
The jury returned a verdict of "not
guilty" without leaving the jury box.
Wells and Edward Shouldice were
then also arranged and found not
guilty. The latter is still in custody,
serving a year at the Central for another
theft: at Clandebove.

As stated in last week's TIME, Mr.
• and Mrs. D. French of Exeter, have
received the appointment of overseer
and matron, respectively,of the County
House of efuge, There were 42 appli-
cants for the position, all worthy and
highly recommended persons, and the
fact of Mr. and Mrs. French being
• selected attests not only to their popu-
larity.but recognizes their superior abil-
ity for the positions. Mr. French will
make a good executive head, while Mrs.
French, being of an amiable and kind
temperament will prove a popular mat .
ron with the inmates. Their duties
will not commence until about Decem-
b er.
They discovered a new fake swindle
over in Yankeedom, which, no doubt,
in due course will find operators on this
side of the line. We give particulars so
that one readers may be prepared for
the fakirs. As the story goes, the plan
is something like this : "A man comes
along with a $10 bill and gats it changed
at a business house. A few hours later
two men call and ask if he had seen a
certain man giving the description and
bhe merchant replies that he, changed. a
$10 bill for a man answering that de-
scription and a few hours before. The
merchant is then informed that the
fellow is wanted for pushing the queer.
The two strangers claim to be detect-
ives and ask to see the bill. They pro-
nounce it counterfeit and worthless.
The meechaut kindly lets them take it
to serve as evidence a.gainet the swind-
ler when he is captured and receives a
receipt for it. The bill is good and the
two men go on pursuing the first villain."

John Grant, convicted of appropriat-
ing to his own use part of an express
parcel of $5,000, which he found at the
G. T. R. station at Parkhill, made a
short address before being sentenced ab
London, on Saturday. Wore he to
suffer alone for his crime, he said, he
could do so mere readily. But on ac-
count of his wife and children he asked
$ 1..for clemency. His wife was in delicate
00
health, and withoat means of support.
His offence was brougnt about through
indiscretion. There was • no natural
dishonesty-cnly this accursed liquor.
"Give me one chance to redeem my.
self, and I fancy you will never regret
having done so," pleaded the prisoner
in it manly voice. He would come out
of jail disgraced before the world in
greater measure than if allowed to re-
gain his liberty at once under some re-
strictions. Concluding, Grant said,
"All I can plead for is your leniency in
judging of this matter. I have. sworn
never to again touch liquor, and this is
the first time I have ever been inside of
a jail or a court room." The judge
reviewed the finding of the jury, and
pointed out that 5200 of the money had
not been returned, and was really
stolen. Like everyone else, he felt in-
clined to deal leniently and would
gladly say to him go and do better in
the future. But he had a stem cluty to
perform. It was true that the Ceill1P
had been largely brought about by the
debasing vice of drunkenness, but it was
no excuse for a man to say he e as
drunk. His mouth was nob held open
and the liquor forced down his theoat.
The prisoner was then sentenced to six
months in the Central Prison, On Sat-
urday afternoon information reached
Express Agent Thompson, of Perlthill,
who hod just returned from Grant's
trial in London, that Mr Emery, who
resides in the rear of the Royal Hotel,
where Grant boarded, had found some
keys on the day after the robbery,
which he (Emery) had seen Grant hide,
Mr. Thompson at once proceeded to in-
vestigate, and, after some houxs, secured
