The people of this neighborhood are
wondering what the Scott Act Inspector

lieve that there is neither law nor judge
in our land. The attention of the author-
ities to this would be a blessing to some
of the residents in and around this

The Goderich Signal Bays :—Last week
there appeared in The Signal an item
slating that an unknown man had left a
team of sorrel horses and a wagon at the
Colborne hotel a couple of weeks ago, and
had not returned to take then: away.
The proprietor of the hotel was anxious
to have the mystery solved, and after in-
effectually trying to find the owner of the
horses and wagon, cameto The Signal, so
the foots might bepublished abroad.
in this ourna iv-
ing the particulars as far as known, and
the publication of the foots were success-
ful in unravelling the mystery. James
Hall is a farmer in the township of Mor-
ris, near Sunshine, and last year he rent.
ed his farm and stock to Duncan Mc.
Martin for 6800 per annum. Besides
that he sold him 6100 worth of fall wheat
and some time ago endorsed a note for
842 for his tomtit. McMartin always
contended that he had an annuity com-
ing in to him, but was not able to pay
anything down and was usually under
the necessity of borrowing. A few weeks
ago he harnessed up Hall's sorrel team,
with wbioh he had been working the
farm, and drove to Goderich, it is believ-
ed with the intention of taking them with
him on one of the Beaty boats to the
Sault, but by some means he failed to
carry out his design, and decamped,
leaving the horses at the Colborne hotel
stables. After the publication of the
item in The Signal last week, George
Love, of Brussels, being aware of Hall's
lues, informed that gentleman that his
horses and wagon were at Goderich, and
when the latter examined the item ho
felt satisfied that such was the case.
Monday night last doll drove to Gode-
rich, proved property and paid the ex-
penses for the keep of the animals, and
Tuesday he returned. Duncan McMart-
in has not sine been heard of, and Hall
is still out $800 rent, and the amount of
the 842 note wbioh he will likely have to
pay.
