Chancery Court. The following is a statement of the oases recently tried at the sittings of the Court of Chancery before Justice Ferguson, which -closed last week at Goderich Yoong vs. Alexander -The plaintiff eindhis case, Mr. Charles Young,brother of the reeve of Colborne, some time previ- ous to the death of his wife, a year and half two, conveyed to her, through her brother,°John Alexander, a farm valued at $4,000. Mrs. Young, dying intestate, her brothers, John and Alexander be- came her legal heire, and as requested by her, John conveyed. his right in the property to Alexander. The action was brought to set asfde the conveyance made by Young to his wife, under which Alexander now claimed. The plaintiff, Young, contended that be was unduly influenced by his wife in making this conveyance, and that the conveyance was made through dread of having to convey a certain portion of this farm to trustees fOr school purposes, said pot - ton of land baying been given by plain- tiff's father for school purposes, but no deed ace:tally made out. His Lordship dismissed the action as against John and Alexander, the latter to be put into possession without costa Judgment not to be mitered npon nuti i after the next sittieg of the Division Court in June, and tte present plai u ff Lc give security that he will not cut or remove timber in the meantime. Defendant's counsel asked to be awarded something for occupation, but His Lordship thought defeudant ought to be satisfied, and the matter was not pressed. Driver vs. Mitchell. -The parties to this case live near Ford wich. Some time ago Driver mitered action against Mitchell for having circulated. a raali • oious report stating th t plaintiff was guilty of indecent conduct. The case was settled without going to court, Mitchelrto pay one shilling damages, and costs. and plaintiff's counsel enter- ing into an agreement that he would not attaak certain conveyances made by - -When the costs were taxed they were found to foot up to uearly • $400. Plaintiff now seeks to have this covenant set aside, claiming that he did. not authorize his coausel to eugage, not attack, these coilveyances, and that he never sanctioned such agreement. Juclgrnelit reserved. difctialkin vs. Kitid-Defendant, who had been in busiuesa wish husband of plaintiff, at Seaforth, had seized a mare and two tied lious, her offepring, to satia- fy an iudebteduese foriud due him when the firm disselved. Mrs. Mainlkinthe plaintiff, claimed the animals as her own, being the result of several trades made by her brother, from a horse giv- en her by her fa - her, Mr. Luke Beatty, of Toronto, iu 1867. The firm had been using these horses as each trade ,was made, hut with the understanding, it was chtimed, that they were her pri- vate property. She permitted her hus- band to give EL chattel mortgage on these animals, and by this act it was con- tended that the ownei ship passed to him. Judgment reserved. Dockstader vs. Puipps.-This is really an action of ejectment from a lot in Goderich towuship, of which Mr. Whitely, Deputy Reeve, is agent. The plaintiff is an infant under 14 years of age, and is the owner of the land. Her father had a life estate in it, and in 1874 made a lease to the defendant for 15 years, but died in 1876. Plaintiff now contends that the lease is void against her, and that defendant holds it as a yearly tenant, subject to such terms of the void lease as apply to a yearly ten- ancy, and that one of thee terms is a covenant for penalty on non-payment of rent, and that the rent of 1881 not being paid, she is now entitlei to eject de- fendant. Defendant contends that the lease is absolutely void, and that none of the terms apply, and that he isa yearly tenant not subject to apy of the terms of the old lease, and so entitled to Six month's notice to quit; or that if a yearly tenant, subject to any of the terms of the old lease, he is subject as to the pleiutiff to all the terms, and that no rent was due, it being paid by Making improvements, as provided by the old lease. Judgment reserved. Merrell vs. Iiirlipatrick.-An action for the construct ion of the will of the late John Kirkpatrick. A decree was entered for plaintiff. Steele vs. Simpson. -This was an action for a specific performance of an agreement. Simpson was the agent of one Young, in Toronto, owning lauds in Manitoba. As such he offered_the lands for sale, `aid plaintiff paid $400 on same, but Young had meanwhile sold to another party, and couteuded Simp- son had no authority in the premises. The reault is a three -cornered suit, the qttestiou being ot whom plaintiff is en- titled to recover. Plaintiff' offer to buy is shown; but the reply of defendant cannot be found. and, owing to the ab- sence of missing papers, but one side of the case could be heard here. Judg. ment was reserved, His Lordship to sit again on the case in Tor mto. Aldworth vs. Stotts. -An action to set aside conveyance as fraudulent. Judgment reserved.

He says :-I wish to benefit eud save from privatioir and expense the workmen of the trade to which I belong. I leftToronto for here on the 15th, having sedured a job as agreed upou by an agent of one of the master -builders here, but on arrival could not go to work on account of the stormy weather and also because my employer had no shop. We could scarcely find a place to lay our heads on at night, places ‘: of accommodation being uncomfortably filled. I have gone to a great number of builders to - learn the wages paid and the prospects for work. As nearly all ofitside work was at a standstill I found that instead of wages being what advertisements in TH local newspapers would lead one to be- lieve, they range just now from, $2.50 to $3 per day, With the prospect of a rise' in the spring. This rise will not, I believe, bring them above $4, for the trains bring in Carpenters by the dozen, and station platforms are covered with tool -boxes. ' Now, Mr. Editor, I wish to prevent this tide of trade emigration for the sake of thole who assuredly will have to suffer if it ; continues. I would advise those who have decided to come here to defer corning till at least the end of April or beginning of May, for by that time building will be brisk and accommodation better.I would advise mechanics and stome ethers who are doing well in Ontario or any other country to stay Where they are unless determined, come what will to make Manitoba their home. I hope these facts I have given' will meet the nen- sideration of the Workmen of Toronto, my native city. f _ I A FLAT CONTReDICTION, Wm. Munroe, carpenter, writes to the editor of the el -lobe from, Winnipeg, March 21st, in a somewhat 'eimilar strain. He says :-Will you kindly allow me space in your paper to contro- vert a paragraph published in tbe Mail by J. B. Ferguson, school teacher ef this city. Mr. Ferguson says ;----1 have noticed in a large number of On- tario papers paragraphs which I have no doubt have been published in good faith, stating that the supply of me - thanks in Manitoba is in excess of the demand." He says, "I have hien 7 years a resident of Winnipeg, and at no time during that period to my knowledge has such been the case." I hay e to say that this statement of Mr. Ferguson's is grossly incorrect, for there has been great suffering and no work during the Winter. For one room, 12 x 14 feet, you must pay from $15 to $25. Potatoes are $2 per bushel, aud frozen at that; eggs, 35e to 45o; beefsteak, 20c to 25c per lb „, wood, $8 to, $10 per cord, and only poplar ; coal $18 per ton: meohanics' tools, $3 to 35 for common handsaws, and other things similarly high. There are hundreds of people here now in cantraft tents. There is no accommodation and mechanics are spending what they earn in trying to li live, and when thy get into debt they cross the line. If Mr. J. B. Ferguson would write about teachers and not about mechanics le might come nearer the truth, but perliaps-he is paid by the Canada Pacific Reilway or some other firm which wants men to work for their board. This is the way everything is done here." SENSIBLE AND TIMELY WORDS - OF ADVICE AND CAUTION. -h---- ' In an article on the present rage for - speculation -in Mamitoba lands, especial- ly in town lots, and on the feverish desire felt by so many people in On- tario to sell out their property _here and rush off to the Northwest, the Hamil- ton Times in a recent issue -Bays: A gentleman who has been usually credited with the possession of an aver- age amount of common sense remarked to the writer a day or two ago that he did not intend to work any longer; he was going to make money speculating. We think it was in 1871 that somebody described the 'United States as a coun- try in which sevemeightlas of the peo- ple were scheming to make a living from the labor of the other eighth. So it is in Manitoba to -day, and we cannot get rid of the conviction that the actual progress of that coentry will be greatly retarded by the fever of speculation in town lots and farm properties. A man who pays $160 an inch • for land in Winnipeg must know -if he takesetime to think at all -that no business eat be done on the land which will make, pro- fit -enough to pay the rent demanded to cover interest on the purchase mouey. If he builds a store or a workshop, on ' the lot, he must compete with other stores and workshops situated on cheap- er property, and he will fail in the &repetition, because he goes into it haudicapped. But he does not intend to build a store or a workshop. He depends upon a bigger fool than him- self corning along and buying the prop- erty at an advance. - The last owner will surely get "left," for money can- not pour into Manitoba from Ontario forever as it has been goiug there this last year, and all thie speculation has been done with Ontario money. A great deal of that money will never be got out of the mud holes where it has been thrown so recklessly. Speculation breeds extravagance; Winnipeg is now a dear place to live in, being filled to, overflowing with a floating population. When the tide tures, people will be as anxious to get away from Winnipeg as they are now auxions to go there. We shot:tic:I be sorry to see so many- of the good people of Ontario afflicted with the Wienipeg disease. The haote to be rich is not a healthy feature for the country. The speculation will in the long run hurt Manitoba, and from the beginning to the end will hurt Ontario. It is a delusion to suppose that Mani- toba is so far ahead of Ontario in all that goes to make life pleasant and comfortable, that we who have paesed our lives in Ontario should now be- come disgusted with our surroundings. The prairie Province can show more bushels of wheat to, the acre, but we are a long way ahead in fruit. The Mani- tobans have a steadier winter, but we can spare the days when the th.ex- mometer registers below 'zero. Our fences and roads, schools and churches are built and paid for, while theirs are in course of consttuction. Gold does not grow on the trees in Mauitoba, and people who go there to make a living will have to get down to work -perhaps sooner than really of them expect or in- tend. Just how long the craze will last canuot be predicted, but the eud of it will surely come, and when "every one wants to sell" the men in Ontario who have stuck to their farms and their workshops will not be the lou dest 1 mourners. On the above the Sb. Marys Argus re- , marks : The time which every one will want to sell, especially the fortunate posses- sors of town lots in places which have no existence -except on maps, and which are not even marked on authentic maps of the Provinee, but only on maps prepared by surveyors for speculators and their dupes, is not far distant. The Manitoba bubble is almost dire to be pripked sometime dung the coming summer ; and when that event bapens there will be mourning and lameledation among the men whit, like the gentleman referred to by the Times, proposed to work more but to make money by speculating in town lotSin Manitoba, andtivho in order to do so, sold oat in Otitario and started for Winnipeg. They will .find themselves rich in the possession of lots whioh no one will buy for twenty years to come at a tenth of the pnce now eagerly paid for them During the past Six raonths there have been more towns laid out lie Manitoba that ten times the present Population of that Province could support. Towns cannot exist without_ a large rural population witk whom to trade. This sort of population has still mostly to be created in Manitoba, and ,the territory west of it. If during the next summer 30,000 new settlers go inte the North- west and take up land fbr bona flee purposes of settlement the Province will be more fortunate than roost of men, not stricken with Manitoba fever, and therefore will be capable of forming a rational opinion on thesubject, be- lieve it will be. But 30,000 people would not suffice to support more than half a dozen villages. Yet the sites of some of the newly surveyed towns are said to be large enough foe a -city the size of Philadelphia. Town lots in such places may become really valu- able property sometime , during the course of the next centurytbut not till then. At present their value is pure- ly fictitous. Farming in Manitoba will no doubt be a remunerative occupation in course of time; and we have no desire to check the legitimate ambitions of any man who desires to go to the North- west and take up a piece :of land, cul- tivate it and live upon it. Such a man, if he be strong and healthy, and es- pecially if he has a family of half grown boys and girls to help him, will no doubt succeed in the Northwest and make a comfortable living' for himself and them, if he be sober and industri• oils. But let there be no mistake about it; such a settler will have much head- ship and privation to endare- before he can make for himself a home on the prairie. _He will have rude abundance probably from the first, but few com- forts. He must be content to see his children growing up about him without any sort of education but What he 'can himself give them. It will be a long time before schools become so plenty that every man will have one within a mile or two miles of his own door. He will have to go without Christian Ordinances till perhaps he and his family cease to value thetmfor churches as well as schools have still to be built upon the prairie. He will have to haul his grain to mill and market for many years over unshaped roads and across unbridged creeks', for roads and bridges have etill to be constructed, and will not: be made till the population becomes num- erous. He must lay his aecount to ac- cept a low price for his grain and other produce, for the cost of sending. it to market from the far west will always be great, and at first will almost be pro- hibitive. The Pacific Railway Com- pany will take care for 20 years to come to wring from him the last eent they can extract foe freight charges ; and he will -have uo remedy, for there will be no competition. He must iaoe expect that he will be able to sell hie farm at a high price at any time, once he has got it into working shape; for • the present land boom cannot and will not last, and • by the time he has his fend' in shape there wil. be thousands pf ethers who will also have farms as good as his for sale. There will for the space of a lifetime at least be hundreds of - thou- sands of acres of wild 'seder in the mar- ket twhioh will keep down the price of reclaimed lands to a lovt figure. The Ontario farmer, who being free from debt, and having a farm , large enough to supply all his wants, Bells out and goes to the Northwest in order to get a bigger farm, will probably get what he wants; but he will bid geed bye to all comforts for many years, will expose himself to hardships which none but the young and strong should encounter, and will probably have one or perhaps both feet in the grave before his big farm comes to be of as mtieh value as the little one in Ontario. which he was in such haste to sell. These areobvi- oils considerations for every man in On- tario, who being in comfortable circum: stances hopes to better himself by going west. It is only the poor man with strong arras and a vigorous constitution, who has a little capital, but feels him- self crowded in Ontario and -unable to get on here, that should go. The rich man who goes with a bag of eiollars to Winnipeg to speculate will be much likelier to lose his money than to make more. And if he does lose it will serve him right. Speculation Manitoba lands under existing circumstances is simply gambling, and it is a pity gam- blers ever win. They never do win ex- cept at the expense of other Men. The whole system of land speoulittion in M anitoba,, especially specalation in town lots, has become as demoralized as state lotteries ever* were, and quite as hazardous. It cannot be I prevented by law, but the evil will shortly cure itself; and in the process of doing so many thousands of small capittalidts from Ontario will be ruined. t In order to esca,pe the risk of being one of those who suffer all that any MAD has to do Is to etay at home and keep out of risky speculations. 1 -A horrible murder was dommitted at Napenee on Tuesday last, the victim being a young girl named Maggie Howie, employed as a servant in thetrichborne House, and the murderer Mibhael Lee, hostler for the hotel, and the girl's dis- carded lover. The girl had; gone into the stable to milk the cow. She was followed by Lee, who closed the door after him, and upon pressing his einit and being refused struck the.girl on the head with an axe, killing her instantly. She was found lying in a stall by some of her fellow pervants shortly after- wards. The 'murderer flech but was pursued and captured by a pose of con- stables. He wastaken back to Napenee and copfessed the crime, and was fully committed to stand his trial foe -murder by a coroners' jury. The murdered girl was not 18 years of age and .was the daughter of a respectable family living about twenty mules from Napa - nee. The murderer also is respectably connected. The girl is described as rather prepossessing, and in her own sphere was looked upou az quite a beauty and something of e flirt. ' The prisoner was madly in love with her, and finding that he could not win her was determined that no one else should. -A most extraordinary scene was witnessed at the office of Pellatt & Osler, brokers, in Toronto, on Tuesday last, when the stock books ot the On - or. tario pany fought many down the c called keep t overt worth demo books people scene pany i ororror • HIJR01 EXPOSITOR. or. nd Quebec Q'Ap erempened.
