the first two counts of the charge and
a "true bill on the third. The first
count wits that the defendant "did
Lill and slay" his wife, and the
second was that he "did unlawfully
cause her death" by negle,aing to
supply medical attene',uc t, and !lie
third (the one in tvl,i •h a "true hill"

The action against lir. I)esjardines
came as the sequel to ht'r d:'ath from
1LLt d poisoning after dltii 1 birth, No
doctor was provided before or al, con
finentent and the birth of the child came
about a month sooner than ccas ex•
peered. Dr. Tttl-r, Dashwood, was
utnoned afterwards, when i
ryas
the 'r w in a se'iou • 1 •
found t < moths as serious con.
clition, but she died before Ise arrived.
llr. Tu.:kcr was the Crown officer
who prosecuted the charge and Mr. J. G.
Stanbury acted for the defendant.
1\1r. Stanbucy argued that the defen
dant was innocent of the clanger in
which Ids wife was and itad shown every
tenderness and attention within his
knowledge. The jury's verdict was
"not guilty," and the prisoner was ac-
cordingly discharged. This case occu-
pied Wednesday afternoon and evening
The libel action brought by Thomas
Berry, a horseman, of Fiensall, against
A. T. Cooper, of Clinton, arose over the
publication in the London Free Press,
August 20th last, of an item which was
in part as follows : "Raiding of Blind
Pig Brings Reeve to Rescue. The Reeve
of llensall, Fred Sntallacombe, may
face a charge of unlawful interference
as a result of acting, it is alleged, as
protector for a whisky warehouse being
run by Thomas Berry at Hensall
There were suspicions that he was
running a blind pig,"
The defence to the charge was that
the article in question was a fair com-
ment on the facts. A large quantity of
liquor was found on Mr. Berry's prem-
ises by Constable Peliow and Wallis
last summer in a search made as the
result of an information being laid that
the informant had reason to believe that
bags containing bottles of liquor were
being taken away from Mr. Berry's
stables, When the constable made the
search Mr. Berry appears to have been
quite ready to assist the constables and
quite frank in admitting that he had
liquor on the premises except with re-
spect to one keg .01 whisky, which he at
first said was vinegar. Procuring a
brace and bit the constable bored into
the keg and found it was whisky. Mr.
Berry's explanation of the presence of
such a large quantity of liquor on his
premises was that he had been getting
in a supply •against the coming into
effect of Provincial prohibition, and
that, in addition to use by himself and
his wife, he gave it to his horses when
they were sick, et one time giving a
valuable horse eigh bottles of whisky
in as many days and thus saving his
life.
The Judges charge, to the jury was
clear and concise and lie left no doubt
in the minds of the court that in his
opinion the saloon must fail but
�
d
however he allowed the Jury to
decide which they did by bringing in
a verdict that the article was
justified according se the facts as
proven, and the Judge assessed the
CdSta against Berry.
Hearing of this case and argument
lasted (rota the opening of court at 2
o'clock On Tuesday until noon the next
day. L. E. L)ancey, counsel for plaintiff,
W. Proucifoot, K. C., and C. Seeger,
solicitors tor defendant,
A non'jury case on the docket was
adjourned to the non jttry`eitt'ings of the
cottrt.
