Judge, Britton particularly 'point- ed out to the grand jurymen that it was no pert of their duties to alter, the charge from murder to man- slaughter. "Present the bill ad made by the crown officer for your convenience," he instructed, "becaose, if it should be brought out before the petit jury that the charge should be lessened, the jury and judge can do that ; Whereas, there is no way of enlarg- ing the, offense through the . petit jury." -The grand jury : William Hartry, of Seaforth, foreman ; John Adams of Wroxeter ; Albert Brigham of Hul- lett ; Wnr.

Goderich, Nov. 26.—Six years in Kingston Penitentiary was the sen - 4.r tenee passed upon Robert Gordon at ' the Huron County 'Assizes this morn- ing for the killing of his father, Hugh Gordon, a well-known farmer of the Township of McKillop. On the 23rd of April last 'the Grand Jury brought • in a true bill for Murder, but by agreement between the Crown Prosecutor, Mr, Dudley Hol- mes of Wingham and counsel for the prisoner, the indictment, was changed to manslaughter and the prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. W. Proudfoot on behalf of the • prisoner, related the facts and cir- cumstances of the unfortunate affair, and pleaded for a lenient judgment especially as the health of the pris- oner is not 'robust. Judge Britton then passed sentence. '• Robert Gordonandhis father, Hugh Gordon, had been plowing on their farm on' the day of the tragedy, and on driving his team into the barn the younger Gordon struck one of 'the horses with a strap. This anger- ed 'the father, who rushed at -the son and the latter picked up an iron bar arid dealt his father a fatal blow on the head. An aunt and two sis- ters of the young man are left en the farm without a male relative. Relations 'between the father and son had been quite. amicable, and the . family is highly respected.
