This Comb was opened on Monday,
14th ipet•, ,justice Robertson presiding,
The civil docket had only one case, and
the orimival list three. Job Farley, Q.
0., of St, Thome" appeared to eonduoot
the latter. The following were sworn in
as the
00AE0 JmtY,
Diggory Brown, Exeter ; Robert Black,
Gavin Davidson, Turnborry ; William
Doig, Housall ; John Donaghy, Ford -
with ; Robert Elgie,' Tuckeremith ;
Amos Fisher, Colborne ; John Hovey,
Howick ; Geo. A, Jackson, libgmondville ;
Godfrey Madigor, Charles Sohamacker,
Hay ; R, W. McKenzie, Goderieh ; David
O'Brien, Stephen. Mr, McKenzie was
chosen as foreman.
IIis Lordship addressed them on the
criminal oases that would be placed be•
fore them: In the case of assault, a boy
throwing a atone at another bay, causing
the loss of an eye, His Lordship said that
it was an unlawful act to throw a stone
even if it was not intended to strike a
person. In the case of perjury, a oharge
against a woman for swearing out an in.
formation against a constable for stealing
a piano, when it was taken possession of
for the person who sold 11, on acoounb of
default in payment, the Judge clearly
pointed out what evidence was needed be-
fore s, true bill could be returned, and on
the serious charge His Lordship olearly
defined what constitutes the offence.
The Judge then drew the attention of the
Grand Jurymen to recent changes in the
law -First, bhat of reduoing the number
of Grand Jurymen from 28 to 13, and
that under the new statute seven men
must agree on a bill. He said thab the
jury could say whether they thought the
law worked well. Anyhow he thought it
had, and as fel as he knew there had
been uo miscarriage of justice through its
introduction. Another change was that
juries in civil oases could now return a
verdict if tan agreed, another alteration
he highly approved of ; and he also call-
ed their attention to the notices placed
around the Courthouse, showing that it
was an indictable offence to persuade or
in any way try' to prevent a person from
giving evidence in a ease before the Court.
The House of Refuge question was the
next subject, and in introducing it he
said that he was much pleased to learn
that in Huron there was one. The Judge
spoke strongly on the point, mentioning
that Canada had not as many aged and
poor to care for as older countries had.
He said that Houses of Refuge were one
of the strongest evidences of humanity,
for had not One said, "The poor you have
always with yon." Tho learned Judge,
having concluded his address, called the
first case, an undefended action for
seduction, but the case was not proceeded
with.
Before the Court closed the Grand Jury
appeared and handed in a true hill for
perjury against Mre. Area Mellon.
TEE CELT Chir. CASE WAS

TEE CRIMINAL CASES.
The Queen vs. Anne Eolith, charge of
perjury, took a day and a half to nom.
plate. Prisoner, a resident of the village
of Hensall, had a piano on which a bal-
ance of the payments was due, and. Bail-
iff John Gill, of Exeter, went to her
house, seized and took the instrument
away. Gill swore be showed and read
the warrant of seizure, and this was part•
ly confirmed by a constable named Moore
be had with him. Mrs. Delion and her
daughter, with two girls in her employ,
swore Gill showed no authority, and gave
no explanations, bat took the instrument
against the protesb of prisoner. She con.
salted L. H. Dickson, solicitor, of Exeter,
and at first a warrant for trespass was
sworn out, the case tried and dismissed.
Then on further advice of her solicitor,
Mrs. Delion swore out a warrant for
theft, and a constable went to arrest Gill,
but the piano, being given batt bo prison.
er, the constable returned the warrant,
marked "unused." The advice of the
lawyer and the conduct of the latter
constable roused the ire of His Lordship
and ho spoke fu no measured terms
against the illegality of both actions.
Mr. Dickson, while in the box as a wit.
hese, defended his course, but the Judge
was most emphatic in his condemnation
of it. The jury, after two hours' deliboc•
ation, announced that they could not
agree -some holding prisoner' ought to,
and did, know better uotwithstaudmg nor
legal advice, and others holding. that, be.
cause of such 'advice, she believed she
was doiug.right, Ris Lordship dieoharg.
ed the jury, remarking that their differ.
epee of opinion was an honest one, bat,
while it was a pity to have the case go
over, he could not blame the jurors. Ile
expressed the wish that when the case
was next tried, the man who bad caused
all the brouble world nob be overlooked,
Mrs. Delion was admitted to bail in her
own recognizauco for $500 anal two sure.
ties of 8250 each.
The Queen ve, Chas. W. Wilson, charg.
ed with rape on Mre.e$piudlor, living in
Seaforth, was then taken up, but when
the woman had given her evidence, Hie
Lordship declared there was no ease to
go to the jury, and thadrown agreed. In
diecharging the jury His Lordship re.
greeted that the law could not reach the
prisoke0, whom he denounced as an un-
mitigated blaokgeard. It would seem,
from the evidence, that the woman had
notofferodjbho reaistance she ehonld:to
substantiate the charge, and this the
crown was going to Show was owing to
her weak mental and physical condition.
When ho discharged the prisoner, His
Lordship gave him a "dressing" that

could liave•been sustained, he would have
given him tan years in the penitentiary,
and advised him to leave the country at
once, for he was a disgrace to it.
The only other case wee a charge of
assault withintent to do bodily harm;
against a lad named Thomas Kyle, who
had thrown a stone at another boy,
knocking one eye out. He was released
on suspended sentence,
The Grand Jury made their present: -
meat, stating they had tnspeoted the jail,
finding four male and one female prison -
ors, the belber insane, and awaiting re-
moval to the asylum. Two of the males
are insane and are also awaiting removal,
The jail and court house are both cleanly
]sept and in good order. They say : "We
regret bo say that we are tumble to visit
the House of Refuge, owing to fie being
18 miles distant, and there being no mode
of conveyance provided. If it is neces-
sary for the Grand Jury to visit this in-
stitution the Government should, in our
opinion, make acme provision for con-
veyance et bite Couuby'a expense."
His Lordship commended the jurors
for their promptness, and agreed with
them that provision should be made fn.
the law for their inspection of the House
of Refuge.
The Court closed Wednesday at 2 p. m.
Presbytery of Ilzaitland.

15th, 1896, with a foie attendance of

J. Malcolm and D. Perrie, ministers, and
Wm. McLennan and Eno. Gordon, Tees -
water, elders, was appointed to examine
Finlay MacInnes with a view to enter
upon preparation for the ministry. The
committee reported very favorably of Mr.
Maclnnes' Christian knowledge, experi-
ence and motives in entering the ministry,
and he was accordingly ordered to be
certified to the Senate of Montreal Pres-
byterian College as a suitable candidate
for the ministry.
Hector McKay, of Ripley, sbncleut in
McGill College, Montreal, was ordered to
be certified to the Senate of the Presby-
terian College, Montreal.
The resignation of Mr. Hartley of his
pastoral charge was taken up for con-
sideration. A. McKay certified that the
congregations of Bluevale and Eddies had
been cited to appear for their interests.
Commissioners from Eadies', Francis
Lewis, Hugh McDougal and Thos. Ait-
kin, and from Bluevale, Arthur Murphey
and Peter Campbell, were heard and
testified of their appreciation of Mr.
Hartley's Christian character and min-
isterial work. Mr. Hartley adhered to
his resignation. After some members of
Presbytery had spoken, the following
resolution was nuantmously carried. It
was moved by A. McKay, seconded by R.
McLeod :"In accepting the resignation
of Rev: A. Y. Hartley as pasbor of Blue -
vale and Eagles' congregations, where he
has faithfully labored for the past four-
teen years, we, as a Presbytery, desire to
record our affection and esteem for Mr.
Hartley as a co -Presbyter and as a
preacher of the Goepsl. We acknowledge
with gratitude his wise counsel and good
work in the Presbytery, his reverence for
God's Word, his faithful exposition of ib
and his earnest preaching of the Gospel.
We admire his kind, genial and manly
disposition, approving things that are ex-
cellent and boldly rebuking the evil, die.
daining what is mean and abhorring all
that is opposed to God's Troth ; his
ability to discern things that differ and
his faithfulness in warning of existing
and menacing clangers in church life and
work. With sorrow we accept his resig-
nation, to take effect at an early elate,
praying that God may open up for hint a
sphere of usefulness and r5ohly bless him-
self and family wherever his lot may bo
oast,"
Mr. Boss, of Brussels, was appointed
interim Moderator of the Sessions of
Bluevale and Eadies', and instructed to
declare the charge vacant.
This Presbytery Y 1
ter unanimously erns the
Prisoners' Aid Association in a memorial
re Dominion Reformatory for young mon,
to be presented to the Honorable Sir
Oliver Mowat, Minister of Justice, Op.
tawa, and the Dominion Government.
Resolved that under the oircumsbances
of the ease, in our judgment ib would be
wise policy to suspend further action
with regard to the proposed reformatory
until a commission of competent gentle-
men formulate a well considered scheme
both for the organization and the subse-
quent management of said reformatory
for young MMOE.
The records of Huron church Session
were attested as corrootly and carefully
kept.

Huron Registrarship.
To the Editor of Tau POST :-
Doth Sm, -As a Reformer I want, and
I think there are a number of others who
want some information and I appeal to
you as Editor of THE POST and as Sears•
tary of the Reform Association, I under•
stand that when the vaaanoy occurred in
the Registry office that the Executive of
the Reform Association in East Huron
met and decided to memorialize the On-
tario Government to appoint our member
to the position. Such memorial was
signed, as also one by the leading Re.
formers of the Riding, to the same afloat,
and also petitions from electors during
last Winter to farther the same object,
and were forwarded by you to the Govern-
ment. I also understand that all appli.
cants from this Riding, as well as several
outsider's, withdrew their applications in
favor of said member. I said all in this
Riding I No I there must havelbesn one,
A. L. Gibson's' not withdrawn, as I
find he has been appointed. Now, I can
see no one who can give me any reason
for his appointment, unless that he is a
brother of Tiros. Gibson's, or who ever
beard of his•being an applicant. I am
told that the Government refused to open
East Huron, as there was dauger of
losing the Riding, which every one in
East Huron knows to be false. I am
also told the Al. P. P.'s for the South and
West recommended only the applicants
from their own Ridings, after consulting
rives and leading
their Execu t " Reformers.
Yet, A. L. Gibson got the appointment,
Who recommended him 2 I uuderetand
such appointments are made on the
recommendation of some member who
Luis consulted with bis Executive and
leading Reformers of the Riding, and I
would like to know from you, as Secre-
tary, if Thos. Gibson has ever consulted
with you as Secretary, or through you
with the Exeoutive or leading Reformers
in reference to the Government refusing
to grant your petition ; or that A. L.
Gibson was an applioan; or what you or
the Executive thought of his appoinb.
meet ; or should he recommend .it 2
When bhe selection of Deputy was decid-
ed on, if in connection with the Govern•
menb, who recommended the appointee?
Surely the Governmmtb did not consider
that as the Reformers were so strong in
this Riding for Those Gibson they would
be also for his brother. If oath it the
ease, tbatthey acted without consulting
any one and appointed A, L. because he
is the brother of Thos. Gibson and father
of T. W. Gibson, of Toronto, andtbonght
that he was a fit and proper person and
satiefaotory to the Reformers of Hitrnn,
they should be taught a leseou, I under
stand hardly any one who signed the
petitions for Thos. Gibson would do so
for A, L., as they consider his family
have bad their share fn the appointment•
of T. W, Gibson. If Thos. Gibson has
allowed this appointment to be made
withoutiooneulbing you, Bud through
ve and
ers, he hasou thexecutinot done his ldeitytgby Reform -
who placedhim in power, as he is our
servant, not master. In Jaye gone by
the said Thos. Gibson has accused Thee,
Farrow as doing wrong in filling positions
with friends, and the Reformers applaud•
ed and supported him, but during the
last number of years he appointed no one
in this Riding but a relation or inpimate
personal friend. Are we to condone in
him what we would condemn in others
I don't gall this Reform and if Thos.
Gibson has not taken his Executive into
hie confidence ho should at once explain
the whole matter. If be oannot make it
clearer and ()leaner than appears on the
face, he should be asked to tender his
resignation, but if be is innocent it should
be known and the wrong placed on the
proper shoulders, as the interment should
not suffer. As it now ebande Reform has
received a setback in Huron that will be
seen in the first election if not righted
before, Yours,
AN EAST Hums !Mamma,

Tn.bnceorvnaa.-Aosording to antennae -
meet the annual Thanksgiving service
was held in St. John's church last Tues -
clay evening. Rev. Mr. Robinson, of
Walkerton, was unable to be present,
owing to not understanding the change
on the G. 1. R. time table. The incum.
bent, Rev. A. K. Griffin, was assisted by
Rev. Mr. Grimm, of Gerrie, and Rev. Mr.
Higley, of Blyth. After an explanation
of Rev. Mr. Robinson's absence, Rev. Mr.
Griffin offered a few brief remarks apro-
pos to the occasion and asked Mr. Higley
to address the congregation. The rever-
end gentleman prefaced his remarks by
the statement that thanksgiving is the
underlying principle of the Cbriebian
religion and true worship. The two
thoughts pressing on us are (1) Our dairy,
and (2) The temporal and spiritual bless..
Tugs God hes blessed us with, for which
we should return thanks. Tbneksgiviug
must tome from the heart to be accept-
able to God, ss He requires heart work.
Our civil and religious liberties were
clearly pointed out as compared with
Armenia. We should give thanks to God
(1) Vocally ; (2) Mentally ; 9) By mak-
ing gifts to God. Mr. Higley drew a
oonprast between a Thanksgiving collect.

ly donated. Rev. Mr. Gunne made en
appropriate address on "Why we should
give thanks." Wo often forget that God
is the Giver. We owe God thanks for
peace within our borders. Look at Cuba
in rebellion with her mother country and
the leading nations of Europe are seeking
in their labratories and arsenals the most
deadly appliances to hasten the destruc-
tion of human life. No hostile foe here.
Then there is the blessing of plenty. We
don't understand this gift as we have
never known want in this land. A
thankful rather than a murmuring spirit
should be ours. This is a well governed
land, but there is no law like God's law.
Our schools, talents, bodies and souls are
given to us by the Creator for our use.
Look to God for Spiritual gifts, as be is
the giver. We have daily need of repent•
enoe and then in faith look up to God,
"Far 1115 meroy endureth forever." The:
oluirolf was neatly deoorated with flowers,
fruits and grain.
