HOW THE COURT SETTLED IT His Honor Judge Winchester Wed nesday of last week in the County Criminal Court, Toronto, imposed fines of $200 and costs on Thomas R. Tennant and Charles B. Purvis, realty agents, 21 Richmond street, West Toronto, who pleaded guilty to a charge under the Secret Commissions Act. The defendants were given two weeks to pay their fides. Wilbur M. Trewin and John T. Tre- win, whose names had been used in connection with the real estate trans- actions engineered by Tennant and Purvis, were found not guilty on separate charges of conspiring to de- fraud and were discharged. The four defendants were indicted by the Grand Jury on several charges, but all of these charges were withdrawn on their plea of guilty under the Secret Commissions Act. At the preliminary hearing all the defendants pleaded not guilty to charges of illegally collecting com- missions and of conspiring to defraud. Upon their arraignment Wednes- day Purvis and Tennant, through their counsel, L F. Hellmuth, K. 0., pleaded guilty to charges preferred under the S. 0. A. Mr. Hellmuth ex- plained that a full settlement had been made with James B. Taylor and Jeremiah Lyons, owners of a large tract of property at Mimioo, which the real estate agents had sold to four purchasers at a figure double the a- mount originally authorized by the owners. Under• the indictment Purvis and Tennant admitted selling the land at a higher value than placed upon it by Taylor and Lyons and of having re- tained the extra amount, which, it is said, was in the neighborhood of $7,000. It wasstated that a cash a- mount and substantial aecnri i t es were put up by the defendants to cover that amount. Gordon N. Shaver, who appeared on behalf of John Trewin and his son, pointed out that, while his clients bad been introduced to prospective pur- chasers of the Mimioo property, as the owners of the land, there was no evidence to show that they had con- spired with the realty agents. County Y R drown Attorney Richard. Gres- stated that he had given some considerable attention to the charges, and was satisfied that the Crown could not proceed against the de- fendants on the grounds of fraud. He pointed out that while the , defendants had put through deals ea s and obtained d an illegal g commission unknown to the owners of the property, and the latter not having obtained any of the money, the defendants could not be legally charged under an indictment of fraud. Anthony B. McDonald, a general storekeeper of Oranbrook for 18 years, now living at Stratford, explained how he had consigned to Tennant and Purvis his property and a general stock worth $7,000 in exchange for the Mimico property. He stated that he had made two payments upon the property and then defaulted. He bad been given to understand that he would have no trouble in turning the property over within a short space of time at a handsome profit. Sub- sequently he had discovered his error, be explained. His evidence was cor- roborated by Robert McDonald, a son, who stated that one of the Trewine had been introduced as one of the owners of the property while the negotiations were under way. Alexander W. Freeland, a former general storekeeper at Elmedale, whose transaction was somewhat similar to that of McDonald, stated that at the time the deal was consum- mated he was satisfied. He had been told that the adjacent property was selling at $60 a foot. Subsequently he figured that if be got $5 to $10 a foot it would be a good price. He had also defaulted payments under the agree- ment made with the owners through Tennant and Furvhe. Mrs. Won. Holt is at London this week attending the Convention of the Women's Institute representing the Jamestown Women's Institute of which Mrs, Holt is the efficient ?resi- dent,
