Miss. Mar- garet Pollock, who lives with her brother in Morris township, near Blyth, was charged under a section of the criminal code which deals with fortune telling and kindred practices. Miss Pollock has for years bad a reputation as a clairvoyant or spirit medium, but the particular case on which she was charged was an outcome of the theft of some grain from a Brod- pagan farmer, The farmer and a friend went to Miss Pollock to see if she could assist them in discovering the culprit She gave an accurate description of the premises from which the goods had been stolen and went on to describe the thief and his outfit with such particularity that when the men returned home and reported the result of their trip, the whole community was set by the ears. The defendant in her evidence gave a most interesting insight into an extraord- inary mentality. She claimed to have the power or faculty of communication with departed spirits From her child• hood, she said, she had had this power and for some time site did not realize that in this respect she was different from. other people, but at length she discovered that other people had no knowledge of the spirit world such as she possessed, For years her assistance had been sought by people with problems, of one kind and another, and although she did not snake a charge in such cases she accepted a "gratuity." Mrs. Sinclair, wife of Mr. W. M. Sin. clair, barrister of Brussels, was a witness for the defence and told of going to Miss to procure Pollock her assistance in re- covering e covering a lost ring, a valuable diamond ring which had been given to. her by her mother, Miss Pollok said the witness, described her (witness') mother and also.,the Sinclair home and gave her such advice as resulted in her recovering the ring. The case was argued on Monday, Crown Attorney Seager for the prosecut- ion and Mr. Charles Garrow for the de- fence. Mr. Seager went into the history of the law dealing with' fortune tellers, from the tinge when they were looked upon es witches and were put to death up to the present time, when their pract- ices were still regarded as dangearous to the public welfare. He argued that un- der the law it is criminal to "pretend" to possess such powers as those claimed by the defendant. Mr, Garrow claimed that there had been no evidence to show that his client had on any occasion told anything that was not the truth, and no matter how she came by the information it could not be criminal to tell the truth His Honor directed a conviction, but deferred sentence, and in the meantime a "stated case" is to be submitted to a higher court by counsel for the defence.
