His Honor told them it would b a hard-
ship on the prisoner and the coun y to keep 1
him in jail till the spring, and nt them
back to the jury room, where, attir a short
stay, they returned with a verdict of guilty
and a strong recommendation o mercy.
The court, after giving Macgregor geed ad-
vice as to his future conduct, sentenced
him to seven days hard labor in t e county
jail.
The grand jury's presentment remarked
on the decrease of crime in the °entity, re-
ported the court house in a satisfactory
condition, also the jail and premiees, which
are exemplary as regards clean4iness and
accommodation for prisoners Eight
prisoners are in jail, all males ; seven being
committed for vagrancy, and one for insani-
ty. One of the vagrants, it i claimed,
escaped from the Bruce - House lof Refuge
and the jury recommended that if true he
be moved to that institution, aid that if
the report is not true he be removed to the
Huron House of Refuge. They Mao recom-
mended that more suitable ace mmodation
be provided for the jailor and fanhily, special
care being taken for proper iso ation from

court at Guelph, this week, before Judge

what he thought ewes rape seed. The seed
was sown, and the plaintiff &alma that
mustard grew up instead of rape. Six other
farmers complained similarly, and they
joined together, Seifried agreeing to be the
plaintiff, in a suit for $200 daanages. A
sample of the alleged mustard was taken
from the farm of John Fyfe and tested by
three professors at the Ontario Agricultural
College, Professors Loehhead, Zavitz and
Doherty. They decided it was a mixture of
German rape, bird seed and mustard. The
defendant contended that he was io no way
responsible for the damage incurred, that be
bought the seed for rape, and he was not a
regular dealer in it; he gave it to the plain-
tiff and others at cost price, eight gents per
pound. His ,Honor reserved judgment on
the creation of liability for damagewhich
the jury assessed at $50.
