ing. Dr. Holmes, who had been instruot-
ed by the County Attorney to examine
the prisoner as to his mental condition,
testifiea that in his opinion tbe man was
quite responsible for his acts, although
perhaps semewhat mentally weak. Before
sentencing, His Honor said thab, while
himself having no doubt at any time as to
the sanity of the prisoner, he was glad to
haye the evidence of Dr. Holmes as it
would satisfy anyone who thought the
prisoner was entitled to leniency on ac-
count of his mental condition. The trouble
was the prisorer was weak mentally and
physically tram his own evil and improper
habits, and lie (the judge) proposed to
give hira an opportunity to have hia
strength restored end at the same time
administer a punishment which would bare
a more curative effect than merelyimprieon:
ment. He therefore sentenced him to five
years in Kingston Penitentiary, with
two applications of the oat in ten strokes
each time, to be administered during the
third aner fifth years of his imprisonment
On the other charges Davies was sentenced
to one year each on the assault and three
years on the stealing eharges, the sentences
all to run concurrently. While taking
George Davies,to the Kingston Penitentiart
he jumped off the train near Scarboro
Junction and Sheriff Reynolda of Goderich
caught him. In the struggle Davies bit off
one of the Sheriff's fingers.
