GODERIGH: Judge Lewis, Pre
siding :at, the recent sessions of; Hu
ron County court, made the ruling
reeeuty that evidence secured by
direct questioning of ,a prisoner whil
lax custody may not necessarily b
adniissable, unless such evidence b
in the form of a statement made b
the prisoner voluntarily. Mentioi
was made of the relatiopship between
sudh questioning and third degree pro-
cedure. This highlight of the. ses-
sions arose, during the second day of
the,trial, in which James and William
Downes were pleading not. guilty to a
charge of unlawful. entry and theft.
Crown Prosecutor D, E. Holmes, It.
0., 'had called It provincial officer to
the stand and started to question
him, when Defence Counsel Dudley
Holmes interposed his objection, and
submitted that his honor retire the
jury pending a discussion as to ad-
missibility of such evidence. A 20 -
minute debate followed the retire-
ment of the jury, during which pre-
cedents were quoted from the
records of: the Supreme Court of
Canada In the case of Rex vs, San-
key, and also from the lion. Mr. Jus-
tice Wright. Following the judge's
ruling, the jury was recalled, and
the case proceeded with.
IIENSAS L: Wm. Murdock of this
village passed away a few minutes
after he entered the Clinton Hospital,
with Dr. Shaw and one of the nurses
in attendance, While Mr. Murdock
was in a very serious condition, his
death was not looked for so soon and
the message came as a great shock
to his relatives and friends. The de-
g -eased was one of the pioneer busi-
ness men here and highly respected
for his many fine qualities. He had
been clerk of the village for 'a great
many years and had just resigned on
account of i11 health a couple of days
ago. His wife and his youngest
daughter predeceased him by a um-
ber of years and he is now survived
by one daughter in the home Miss
Alexia. The funeral will be it private
one from the home of his brother
here on Thursday afternoon of this
week and the remains will be inter-
red in Hensall Union cemetery. The
deceased was in his 73rd, year

GODERICH: There passed away
on Monday, December 17th, ab the
home of his son, Leonard Westbrook,
Victoria street, anold pioneer in the
person of George Westbrook. The de-
ceased man was born on October 8,
1848, near Kontoka. He was mar-
ried to Hannah Maria Steels, of
Lobo in 18'71, and remained there un-
til 1878, when they moved to the
fifth- concession of Ashfield town-
ship, where they lived until the
death of his wife 22 years ago. He
was highly esteemed in the commun-
ity, and for years was an official of
the Methodist church of Dungannon.
After the death of his wife, he lived
nine years with a son in Alberta. The
past six years he spent in California
with another son. Some time ago he
returned to Alberta to visit his son
and only daughter,_, coiling- .from
there two months ago to visit his
sons here: ITie was only, ill a few
days when he died of pneumonia
Mr. Westbrook was the last of the'
older generation of his family: He.

held in the school at Dungannon on
Thursday ( afternoon, the ,closing of

sent to hear the 'entertainment which
was presented by the •;chilcben of the
school. The programconsisted of'

municipal discussion in the Township
of East Wawanosh is indicative cif the
improbability of elections being nec-
essary. The general opinion seems
to favor the return by acclamation 'of
last year's officials. However, nom-
ination meeting may tell a different
tale. —
COLBORNE: Intense interest is
evident in Colborne Township, where
a hard-fought contest is piomised.
Councillors Albert Goldthorpe will
oppose the present reeve, Hugh Hill,
while it is rumored that Nelson Mc
tarty, Geo. Curry, Martin Mugford
and M, Tyndall will offer their ser-
vices as councillors. Township drain-
age matters will supply the contro-
versial material,
GODERICH: On Friday evening
the Sunday School of the Victoria
Street United cirur,ch held its Christ-
mas concert. The attendance was
large and an excellent program was
presented. Ono of the interesting
features WAS -the White Christmas
gifts which were presented by the
scholars icor needy children. Santa

dies were distributed to the school
students.
NINETEEN TWENTY-NINE
While there is bound to be a nat-
ural regret that the passing of the
old year finds most of us with a lot
of uncompleted plans and unrealized
ambitions, there also collies a pleas-
ant censolation that our labors and
endeavors have not been entirely un-
rewarded. We are richer by the ex-
perience—perhaps a bit more broad-
minded—perhaps a little wiser. It
seems such a short time since last
New Year's Day when we started out
with high hopes and ambitions and
now another. New Year's Day is al-
most upon us.
Life is so full of pleasant tasks,
and 3riendly associations, the duties
of the day cone so thick and fast, the
opportunities for service and helpful-
ness are so many that the days slip
rapidly past and before we have real-
ized it the relentless wheel of time
Has completed another' revolution.
We are glad that another New Year
has arrived. It giyes us an oppor-
tunity to express our appreeiation for
the. kindness of our many friends,
We are ambitious; not for ourselves
alone but for: every one of the good
friend to whose loyalty and co-opera-
tion we owe so mitah. We believe that
you are deserving of the best of our
efforts and service, and we enter the
New Year -with a firm determination
to clo everything in our power to
merit your confidence and preference
for our paper. 'that's ourr resolution
