A RASH MINISTER
At the Middlesex Assizes, Bixel
against McDonagh was an action
for libel brought by the well-known
firm of brewers, of Strathroy, against
Rev. Wm. McDonagh, a minis-
ter, at "present appointed to the
Front Street Methodist Church of
Strathroy, where the alleged libel
was committed iu n sermon deliver•
ed on Sunday, Decomb•tr 3rd, 1888,
and advertised during the previ•.tus
week as a sermon on municipal
tnattets, the title being "flow
Barabus Got Out of Jail." There
was a large -congregation present,
and the different statements ebtiut•
ed to have beeu trade by the defen-
dant in the course of that sermon
are :—What is beer 1 \Vhat is the
filthy stuff tuado in this town 1
•Made out of the dirty canal water
at the back of the town. What is
beer'1 Look at the pretty stuff
made in this town—made out of
the filthy creek water at the'back of
the tuwu. The beer that is manu-
factured at the brewery is made
from the dirty, rotten water that
flows through the canal"—pointing
in the direction of the creek that
flows north of the brewery, called
Bear Creek, or the River Sydeu-
ham. "\Vhat could you expect
when you will put a brewery duwu
on this dirty casual, on a drain like
that dirty canal, like this drain
down there?"
The plaiutiffs 'therefore claim
damages, of 85,000. •>
The defendant denies the words,
and if he did speak them did so
without any of the meaning attach-
ed to them by the plaintiff, nod
without that special meaning they
contain no slander. He says Mr.
Bixel and sou were nut tnanufac•
toting beer as licensed brewers at
the time, and Oscar 'Bixel was not
the lessee of the business. The
words aro not slanders but Lata tirle
colnments on matters of public
interest and the injurious effects of
beer trade from such water as dos-
cribed, and in support of his argu-
ment against the liquor traffic,
without personal application or
malicious iutent,
MI. Cyrus Bixel testified that he
leased the business from his father,
and the firm name was M. Pixel. &
Son. Their wells were sunk in the.
cellar of. the brewery, and . were
twelve .feet• below the' collar floor,
which was fourteen feet lower than
the ground surface, making a total
depth of 26 feet. The water was
pure aud gond.
To Mr. llutchinson—There was a
row of stores on Front street, whose
back promises were adjacent
t) the brewery, aud those were
some earth closets counected with
them.
Mr. Osler—Aro you going to set
up that plea.
Mr. Hutchinson—No, bat I
want to show the jury the position
of the premises.
Mr.. Osler -=Well. bo honest. If
you are going into that tont it on
the record, and don't go insinuating
what you won't say.
Mr. D. W. Vary, ex -Reeve of
Strathroy, said he attended the
Front Street Methodist Church and
hold a pew, but was not a member.
He smilingly assented to Mr.
Osler's suggestion that the discip-
line was too stringent, or the chalk
mark was drawn too far up on the
floor for him. Ho was. at church
on the Sunday evening in question,
and heard Mr. McDonagh say
"The beer which is drunk in this
.town is manufactured or made from
the water taken from the dirty
canal," indicating, with a gesture,
the creek at the back of the town.
After the service was over the
witness spoke to MI. McDonagh,
and told him lie had been wrongly
informed as to the water' they made
the beer of. Mr. McDonagh re-
plied that he knew what he was
talking about, and decliucd to hear
Mr. Vary.
he drew was between slandering a
person and slandering a thing. In
this case, if any slander was uttered,
it was against a thing, not against a
person, and therefore the case
should be dismissed.
THE JESUITS--" MAIL" CASE.
THE JUDGE ALLOWS THE CONSTITU-
TIONALITY OF THE AOT
TO BE TESTED.
The Practice Court, Mont real, was
filled, May 14, when judge Lorang-
er took his place on the bench to
give judgment on the motion to set
aside part of the allegation contain-
ed in defendant's exception to the
form iu the case of the Jesuits vs,
the Mall.
The following is thefull text of
the judge's notes :—
Plaintiffs sue defendant, a print-
ing company, proprietor of the
journal, the Mail, for damages re-
sulting front a libel published in
said newspaper. Defendant pleads
by means of exception to the form,
that plaintiffs aro without right to
appear in court inasmuch as they
have no legal existence in__this coun-
try, and the Act of the Provincial
Legislature, 50 vie. chap. 28, by vir-
tue of which they are incorporated,
is ulira rims. Tho charges in sup-
port of the exception are drawn up
iu thirteen distinct counts. Plain
tiff's make motion to have struck
out counts 4, 5 6, 10, 11 and 13
which read as follow. (Next comes
a recital of all the allegations al-
ready uublished to this journal.)
Plaintiff's ask that these allegations
be set aside because they are
INFORMAL, IRREGULAR, VAGUE,
To Mr. Hutchinson—he did not
take the words down, but would
swear to them to the best of his
belief.
Messrs. James Taylor, L. H.
Dampier, John 'Tallon and Jaynes
Bogue wore the other witnesses
called for tho plaintiff.
Milner said ho put down the
wells which were artesian, and the
water was as good as could be
obtained in the town. The others
corroborated Mr. Vary's evidence,
No witnesses were called for the
defence, but Mr. Ilutchinson sub-
mitted that the firer was not proper-
ly named in the record.
Mr. Osier remarked that was
a trifling thing, done for the sake of
precaution.' It did not -;concerti the
defendants in any way.
Mr. Hutchinson did not rely on
that, however, but on the rule, for
which he quoted precedents, that
there was no case unless special
damages were set up in the plead-
ings and proved. Tho distinction
J
indeterminate and not sufficiently
detailed Defendant, as a pre-
liminary answer to this motion,
opposes, article 144 of the code of
civil procedure, which declares that
no formula is required for pleadings
and contends, in the second place,
that plaintiffs cannot attack the ex-
ception of the form by a motion.
As regards the objection taken
from article 144, it is not serious.
This article refers to the form only
by pleadings, but dogs not dispense
from the obligation of clergy setting
forth the right of action or the means
of defence.
Plaintiffs, iustead of joining issue
on the exception to the form by an
answer in law have made use of the
more summary proceeding of a mo-
tion, and I believe that'
THEY MUST BE ALLOWED
to do so, if, however, it be true that
the allegations of the exception to
the form are vague, indefinite and
uncertain, this anode is adutitted,iu
the practice of the Bar'of Montreal
and has nothing in it repugnant to
the rules of sound procedure.. It is
important for the expedition of
business that the courts be pladad in
petition to adjudicate sutnmarily
uu proceedings„which ori their face
are fhivoloust ur considered useless”
fur the hearing of the case.'
Here there is only one question
at issue, viz., that the Quebec Act,
50 Victoria, chapter 28, is uncon-
stitutional, anything not evidently
tending to show it, must be con:
sidered as an element foreign to the.
case. Tho same applies to vague
and indefinite allegations which
leave the adverse party in an uncer-
tainty as to the choice of pleas, and
do not allow of a plea being made
on a sound basis. Moreover, in the
present case
WE HAVE TO DEAL . W IT1I AN EXCEP-
TION
XCEP-
TiON
to the forth where plaintiffs' right
to appear in court is questioned, and
it is indispensable, when the right
of one of the parties is denied, that
anything pertaining to such right
should be specially set forth.
.The propositions of defendant,
although worded in different ways,
can iu reality be reduced to a single
one, viz, that plaintiffs' act of in-
ccrporaition is unconstitutional aud.
ultra vires. Outside sof the three
first allegations, which clearly' set
forth this proposition, the rest of
the exception to the roan is merely
matter of argument. They are so
many propositions resting on facts
which defendant sets forth in sup-
' port of his pretensions. I shall
take therm op in the order in which
they have been proposed, to see if
they aro sufficiently detailed to
allow plaintiffs to answer them.
The first part of the fourth pro
position is not susceptible of opposi-
tion, that part only which refers to
THE VOWS PRONOUNCED
by the members of the Society of
Jesus, and 1he rules of this society
being susceptible of such opposi-
tion.
Defendant alleges generally that
these votes and rules do not allow
the members of this society to have
any civil rights in the Province,
and to form part of a society in-
corporated under the laws of this
country. What ate these vows,
what aro these rules anal in what
are these vows and rules iucompa-
tible with the Act which has con-
stituted the Society into a corpora-
tion or with the duties and ftinc-
tions of the members of this corpora-
tion 1 This is what defendant has
omitted to say and what plaintiffs
certainly
HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW
in order to 11e in a position to make
a•
.ot1 tu•+!iituu.hr.} :,-uo .1w,tc,.�eµktr i�
a safe defence. It has been pretend- !
ed that plaintiff's were held to know 1
their rules and it was admitted at
the same time that all these rules
were not bad and incompatible
with the Quebec statute. It is true
that plaiutifa are hold to know their
rules, but defendant is also hold to
indicate to thein such of these rules
which he holds to be contrary to
law, especially when he admits that
they are not all such:
The allegation of a vow of abso-
lute and passive obedience to the
Superior General implies is its form
nothing repugnant to the power
which the Legislature had to incor-
porate plaintiff's, and supposing it to
be true, as defendant admits, that
the members of the society have no
civil rights in this province, it does
not follow that the Legislature ex-
ceeded its powers in granting them,
at their own demaud, the right to
acquire and .possess such rights in
the future. Unless it were express•
ly declared in what these VOWS and
rules are contrary to the law of the
country, it was useless to drake: this
allegation, which ou its very face
is insufficiout to support defendant's
main preposition.
THE QUEBEC AUT
is the law of the country and must
bo recognized as such until the
courts have decided otherwise.
Defeudant attacks it as being ultra
wee and it rests with frim to clearly
set fol:th his pleas, especially when
such pleas rest in pact on matters of
fact.
The same reasoning applies to the
whole of the Gth allegation, and to
the last part -of the 6th and 10th
allegations as to what concerns the
rules of the Society.
For the saute reason the whole of
the 1'lth allegation must be set aside
as being vague. indefinite and in no
way particularizing the ends= of the
Society. ,
Ln the -13th allegation it is said
that the'ouds of tho'society are the
teaching and promulgation through-
out the world of the doctrines and
principles mentioned in certain
books (exhibit A.) among which is
the work of Paul Bert, entitled La
Morale des Jesuits. In our'systeul
of procedure the documents in
support of written proceedings are
considered to form part of the
pleadings themselves, and the par-
ties are called to answer same by
the very tact of their beiug intro
duced iuto the record, when said
documentsa1.0 pertinent. But the
same applies to these documents as
to the pleadings themselves.
THEY MUST BE PERTINENT
011 the whole and it rests with the
party producing them to show it.
It Fe not sufficient to say, "1 accuse
you and you will find the. proof of
my accusation in such book or such
document which I filo in support of
toy charge." Unless such book or
document contains, on its face, an
entire and clear statement of the.
'charge made, well defined and void
of all .ambiguity, . such 'docuritent
will bo put out of the record on
motion.
In the present case, five books
have been produced, one:of which
La Morale des 'exude, is Merely a
reprint in one book of the treaties
'contained in the four others, with
the exception of a few additions
which are important with respect
to the question -of procedure sub -
!netted to the court.
Tho author declares that there aro
among the texts which he has re-
produced a great number proposi-
tions that he is ready to sign. He
has added to the texts contained in
his hook a certain number of notes,
the object of which, he says, is to
show the persistent harmony of the
present doctrine expounded by Gury
with the principles of th.r ancient
Jesuits. Ile:rias also added a work
circulated in the south of France
and having for its object to com
piete the work of the Jesuits on one
point ; this is a dissertation by
Abbe Rousselot on the 6th and 9th
precepts of the Decalogue.
The book contains, besides
speeches, delivered by the author in
the course of the debate on liberty
in superior education before the
French Logislative Assembly in
1879. Plaintiffs are called to de-
fend themselves against this book as
well as against those that accompany
it. Plaintiffs are charged with
teaching the doctorins contained in
those books, doctorines which aro
said to bo
CONTRARY TO TILE LAiys
of the Empire and of the country
and subversive of morals and of the
fundamental principles of all civil
society , and all that to prove that
the Quebec Act is uuconstitutional.
What are these doctrines and where
are they to be found 1 Is it in the
book of Paul Bert La Morale des
Jesuits or in the text of Gury,
which the author has translated and
condensed? If it is in the book of
Paull Bert, plaintiffs have certainly
the right to demand that the con-
demned doctrine be clearly indi-
cated to them since that hook con-
tains parts foreign to the text trans-
lated, among others the doctrines
held by the author himself, and
which he, adutits to br,..acondemns applied. Cloau about three -quart -
tion of this text. Surely plaintiff's ers of ati yard at a time, and let it
elnnot be called to defend them become thoroughly dry; before it is
against the speeches of Paul used. Brussels and velvet carpets

trent, and nevertheless, this is but great, caro should be taken not
virtually a.+keel of them by intro- to let the wttor soak through.
clueing, these speeches in the record
as a document of procedure. if it
is the text itself of Gury, which
plaintiffs must answer, they have
equally the right to demand an in
dication of what ace the documents
snbversive of morals and the laws
of the country which that author
teaches and which the Society of
Jesus has accepted as a basis of their
own teaching.
ALL ARE NOT CONDEMNABLE,
the author of La. Morale flea Jesuits
admits it, and declares himself
ready to sign many of them! Which
are, then, the doct►ines to be re-
pudiated 1 Defendant was hold to
say so, otherwise it cannot be known
where the fault lies aud plaintiffs
cannot be called to defend them-
selves against any accusation which
is nut defined.
The introduction of these books
into the record without any other
explanation than ;the vague aud
goneral4ussertiou ,that they contain
doctrines contrary to the laws and to
public ttto:ttls is an entirely irregu-
lar prbceediug aud one contrary to
practice and the rules of procedure.
The question was fur the present
to judge a question of procedure
only, which in no way implies the
merits of the cr,se. Defendant has
the right to plead by exception to

HOUSEHOLD.
THE THOROUGHBRED
HORSE.
One of our readers, in a personal
letter, asks if we are not inclined
to favor tho thoroughbred horse too
much. The reader referred to is in-
terested iu breeding horses, and is
an admirer of. the American trotter.
Our correspondent is right iu think-
ing. we like the thoroughbred horse;
as 'to whether we favor it too much,
that is, more than its merits entitle
it to, is a question we should decide
in the negative if compelled to an-
swer. But we have no doubt many
would take the opposite side of the
question, and especially those who
look upon the thoroughbred as au
animal whose only usefulness con-
sists of his advantage as a machine
for gambling. It is too, true many
who aro engaged in the breeding of
the thoroughbred have only that
end in view, and if his usefulness
only extended to the atuount he
could wiu ou the turf we would
not care if not another one was
ever bred.
But let us look at the thorough-
bred apart from his qualities as a
race horse. In form he is a model
of strength allied with beauty.
His courage is equal to any emer-
gency, and his gameness will snake
hits struggle to the death. His
bone is the densest and hardest
given to any breed ; his tendons
and muscles the strongest and most
elastic. He is bred so as to make
hint the most prepotent of all do-
mestic animals. 'There is no one
conversant with the various breeds
of horses who will not acknowledge
the thoroughbred • to be possessed
of these qualities to a greater degree
(hon any other fancily of the horse.
And here is whore his true useful-
ness lies. The qualities bred in
him for a century and a half he
has the power of imparting to his
progeny to a wonderful degree.
To the fourth generation his blood
will assert itself'. He can bo used
therefore to give to other families
cif the horse the qualities for which
he is noted and which: they lack,
And nearly every breed of any
prominence owes something to the
thoro•Ighbred.. The French coacher
is nearly a thoroughbred, as his
pedigrees published by the import -
.ors conclusively show. The Cleve-
land Bay derives his best qualities
from the same source, That truly
Atuericau horse, the Morgan, is
largely thoroughbred in its origin ;
and when we comp to the American
trotter, consider how much he owns
to the fountain to which the others
are so much -indebted.. Take nut
'Messenger, Mottled and Trusted, all
imported English thoroughbreds,
and where would the American
trotter stand 1 Take the trotting
families 'of to-daffy—Halnbletonians,•
Clays, Mambrines, Golddusts, Pilots
and, Morgans, and does any one be
lievo it possible that they would be
what they are to -day without the
help of the thoroughbred? It is
the source to which to look for the
highest speed and'cnurage, the most
intelligent and the longest lived
of all the families of the horse.
Tho system of breeding which has
made the thoroughbred what he is
is being followed by the breeders of
the American trotting horse, with
the added advantage, through the
extension of the art of printing, of
having the records of their work
imperishably preserved. The trot-
ter is every day getting neater to
the thoroughbred in its ability to
impart its special qualities to its
progeny, and when it has reached
that point it 'will have got close to
its ultimate lituit. Yes, we like
the thoroughbred : and we have
never yet seen a class of horses
which his blood, did not improve,
whether it was intended for the
carriage, the plow or the road.
Why should we not admire him 1

the Supreme Court to -day the case
of Char Chase Ping, a suit brought
to test the constitutionality of the
Scott Chinese exclusion late, was
decided this morning., This was
an appeal from the United States..
Circuit Court of California. The
appellant was a resident of the
United States and under a previous
law he obtained, front the collector
of the portat San Francisco, a certi=
ficat•e granting hint the right to
visit China and return to the Unit-
ed States. During his absence from
the country the Scott law was en-
acted, and, under its provisions,
his certificate was cancelled. He
brought suit against the collector at
San Francisco to compel him to
honor it. The Supreme Court af-
firmed the validity of the law.
The opinion recites the different
treaties between the United States
and China, the legislation of Con-

M11. ROSS' LORD'S PRAYER.
\\'e are told that in the latest
edition, of the Ross Bible the Lord's
prayer hats been re -revised, aud the
words "for • thine is the kingdom
and the power and the glory" have
been restored. Mr. Ross seems to
have a mania fur correcting and
ascending that particular prayer.
It will be remembered that every
time ho makes an improvement
upon it a now edition of his Bible
is issued which roust be bought at a
dollar a' copy. One would think
that so talented a man as Mr. Ross
would have been able at the first
attempt to put the prayer into such
shape as to snake it fit for children
to read. But he appears to be
hypercritieal about it and to keep•
tinkering at it all the while.
It may be remarked thatho Spec-
tator did not say that the words
"for thine is the kingdom and the
power and the glory, for ever.
Amen." had been otnmitted from
earlier editions of the Ross. Bible..
The word "amen" was retained,.
though it is not in tho vatican
manuscript. Mr. Ross made a
patchwork of the prayer. He did
not give it as it is in the King
James authorised version, as it is
in the -revised authorized version,
as it is in the American Bible
Union version, as it is in Sharp's
translation, as it is in Stephens'
Greek text, as it is in the manu-
script known ars the Sinaitic, the
Vaticanua, the Alexandrinus, or
any other of the old Greek texts ;
he did not give it as Erasmus gave
it. Now where did he get hisprayer 1 He simply patched it up
as George Washington Ross and'
the Late Archbishop Lynch thought
would be about right. At all
events, •1►e has had the grace to
return to the authorized version
except that he retains the word
"who" for "which." That is, we
believe he does, but amendment
follows amendment so.. rapidly iii•
Mr. Ross' Lord's prayer that it is
