The MoKillop School Case.
To the Bettor of TJns rose:
Dean Sm,—You will pardon me foe so
much space over this sohool question, but
itis of importance to your merlon to
know the truth, and the Trustees and In-
speoter appear to want satisfaction for
losing the ogee by abyeing the Oot toil
and Clerk. Tho report was through ',he
township that if the Trustees gained the
case the Iuspootor would have five or six
new school houses next year, hence we
San see the cause of the Inspector's ver-
sion. I sent a copy of A. Z,'s tette^ to
Justice Meredith and received the fol.
lowing reply :—
Toronto, Nov. 23, '07
Jobe C. Morrison,
Winthrop P. 0., Ont.
Re S. S. 0, Township of Molii lop.
Sm,—Justioe Meredith has reque toed
me to write to you in reply to your letter
to him of the 8th inst., enclosing a nt ws-
papsr nutting with reference to the al eve
case, The Judge asked me to send yen. a
copy of snob notes as I took of the else
when it was argued on the 18th of Oat.
last, I being thea present as the Law
Society Reporter. Unfortunately Il ave
only a very short note. It is as follows :
"Aylesworth, Q. 0., for the Trustee,. of
S. S. No. 0, moved for a mandamus re.
quiring the Counoil of the township to
pass a by.law authorizing the issue of de-
bentures to raise the suns of $990.00 for
the erection of a school house for the S.
S., such sum to be repaid out of the
funds of the S. S. The Council refi sed
the demand of the Trustees because it
was nob shown that the ratepayers of the
section had assented to the amount re-
quired, though they had, at a ea tool
meeting, assented to a requisition b-ang
mule for funds to erect the school ho iso.
Shepley, Q. C., for the Township Ot un-
cfl, opposed the motion. Motion refn fed.
No order as to caste." Justice Merelith
also direobs me to say that the "rep irt"
which the newspaper nutting purporte to
give is quite unauthorized and inaccurate.
I return the newspaper cutting.
Your obedient servant,
EDWARD B. Bnowe."
Mr. Robb now comes out from the
shelter of Editors and from under ower
of A. Z. and etarte by showing a Melo
knowledge of Latin. He gives no i '1t5
for Mr. Aylesworth's letter. A. Z. aid
he published a report of the Judge's de.
damn, now it is Mr. Aylesworth's version.
He admits the other was not what he
said it was. Your readers can easily sea
that if this is a correct copy, Mr. Ay'os•
worth wishes to make the best show nes-
sibls of a bad case. I can hardly bel eve
that Mr. Aylesworth world adopt a tab
beetles as attributed to him. Mr. Rabb
reports that Mr. Aylesworth said the
Judge made the statement that the T. us -
tees would get their costs out of the 100 -
tion funds. Mr. Shepley stated posit ve•
ly that he said no Snob thing and the
above report says the same. Your read-
ers can judge. A. Z. said the lesson of
censure was for the others, meaning
Council and Clerk. Mr. Robb now (de-
claims all intention to injure the Council
or Clerk. What was his motive over 3.
Z ? What is his motive now in publish-
ing a private letter, written years alto ?
I challenge him to state for what other
purpose he garbles my private letters 'int
to injure me with the ratepapers of those
Sections, as I am dependent on the rt le.
payers far my office. He also tries to
convey the idea that I wrote the letters
recently, and a friend of the Trustees
cast up tome, in a crowd, before it ap•
peered in print, that I had written A. Z.
a letter this Summer and it would he
published. How did they know 10r,
Robb was A. Z. 7 I will now expl tin
that letter as far as I mu reoolleot ; I
kept no Dopy and forgot all about it. I
do not know whether I received en
answer. A few years ago a petition v':te
presented to the Connell to form 'he
Sections out of 8 and 9. The Com ell
took no action and as the leader in the
matter died before the June meeting of
County Council, it was dropped. the
County Council would have been askse to
appoint an arbitration, as those Secbi, us
were large and had, by the assessor's rill,
over 80 children in each Section. Sone
wanted a union then with Grey, as we
now have ; No. 9 had two teachers previ-
ous to tkis. I wrote my opinion to 1 Ir.
Robb, as I thought three Sections rbh
one teaoher each better than two we h
four and better than a union, as me w.
Expecting his opinion respecting the
same, I do not remember if I received in,
as I did not mark the letter private. 14:r.
Robb knew it was and admits now thee
it was private. Just let your readers
think of the meanness of publishing a
private letter, written several years ee(o,
to injure a man 1 What an example for
school children, and Mr. Robb is ign'tr•
ant" of his own ''ignorance" or he world
nob be guilty of it. ' Hon. Israel Ta+ to
scorns to do snob a thing with his hitt m-
eso foe ; e man guilty of it is nob fib to
carry entrails to a bear. In like man010
he gives away the private opinions of
gentlemen who may not have given ttte
matter any thought, or else did nob wish
to crush Mr. Robb's vanity, Why does
not Mr. Robb keep to the law and the
prophets ? He says no declaration is re-
quired under the School Act. Where
does the School Aot say Trustees are to
apply for a mandamus? Where fn t"ie
School Aot is it that the doors on all
school rooms must open outward ? See.
Hon 397, Municipal Aot 1892, made 75
follows :—"Every arbitrator, before en ce
reeding to try the matter of the arbitta•
tion, shall take and subscribe the folio v

He 6a11s me an obscure clerk in his let-
tere in four papers. At least I will sure'
ly nob be obscure. I did nob dictate, as
he says, to Judge Meredith. Justioe
Meredith never censured the Counoil oe
Cleric, nor said anything about costs, '15
A. Z. says. Mr, Robb says I have a per.
niotons habit of intermeddling in matters
outside of my dutiese. I challenge him to
