BRAUN,, Secretary, Public Works, Department, Ottawa. Ottawa, May 20th, 1878. 555-4 Persev-erance of a Scotchraan. A droll story is' going the rounds in England and. Scotland and relates to the right of. a man to wear what he pleases without, permission of the Gov- ernment. Some months ago a mer- chant of Leith named. -Young appeared in the streets of that place -with a "cre ' placed jauntily in front of his Glengarry bonnet. The crest was executed in sil- ver, and was thought to look rather bold and threatening upon the band of the bonnet, making the wearer. produce, no doubt,a killing effect upon the lassies of Leith. One day, to his astonishment, Mr. Youn.g received a notification that by weoring a crest upon his bonnet, he was lia,ble Jor duty upon armorial bear- inas. • The sum demanded for wearing the silver crest was one guinea,at which official demand his Scotch prejudice was justly aroused, and he memorializedthe Govermnent upon the subj ea. Of course no attention was paid to his paper, so Mr. Yeung went to London and. routed out all the authorities bearing on the subject. Again he memorialized the Government, this time submitting the crest itself for inspection,i, and calling attention to certain quoted! authorities. After the usual delay Mr 1 Young was iuformed: that the wearing Of any creet, whether his own or any other man's by t way of ornament, does n t render the owner liable td pay the d 'ty. But our Scothhraan's sense of fusice was not yet satisfied, a' d he again Memorialized the Governm tnt, this tiiL nient of the g4inea.
