The secretary has been in correspondence with no less than 88 horsemen who are likely to start their horses at Blyth fair this year.

McColl. net handles them' so successfully. There is no little danger in releasing a bear from a trap and removing it to its new home six or seven melee distant, but Mr. McConnel has never receive a scratch during d h d g his long this is the same bear which carried away a trap set by him 10 years ago, which trap was afterwarbs found in the bed of a creek In the edge of Melanethon township with the bones of a bear's foot In it. Tho two bears are now chained to poets within 12 feet of each other in Mr. MeConnel's lawn at Dundalk and are getting every attention. filth Court of du dee. The fall session of the high court of justice was held at Goderich before Chief Justice Sir W. R. Meredith. Tho following wero the grard jury : S. J. Shannon, foreman, Mc- Killop; George Campbell, Stanley; James Denman, Grey ; John Dever - aux, McKillop; Alex. Laird, Howick ; '1homas Livingston, Ilullett; W. 11. Reynolds, Hensel! ; James Ryan, McKillop ; George Stewart, Gode- rich ; John Stewart, Howled(; Jacob Switzer, Stephen ; Wm. Sproat, Tuokevsmith. The first case on the list, Rook et el vs. Trott, an action to set aside it gift in anticipation of death. It was a family affair, and was for thepurpose of having divided among the plaintiffs the sum of money that an uncle had given to defendant for services rendered, as claimed by that lady. In the end the chief justice reserved judgment. Moores ve. the Goderich Elevator Co., an action to recover on a prom- issory note, was by consent referred to the local master, under section 28, chapter 62, H.S.O. 1897, and Hallman vs. Mailmen, an action to compel a specific performance of a sale of land, was by c.nsent settled, judgment being entered against defendant for immediate possession of the land. Neelin vs. the Grand Trunk Rail- way, an action to recover compensa- tion for injuries sustained by plaintiff by steam escaping from property be- longing to the defendant company. Mr. Neelin is a resident of Seatorth, being customs collector there. From the eyidence It appears plaintiff was about to get on a car at Mitchell, when the escape of steam caused hint to miss his hold and tall, and in the fall injure himself so severely as to prevent him attending his duties for some weeks. There was conflicting evidence, but the escaping steam and the injury were clearly proven. The chief justice, who finally re- viewed the evidence, seemed to in- cline slightly to the plaintiff. After an absence of nearly two hours, the jury returned with a verdict for plaintiff and $250. Cook vs. Smith, a breach of prom- ise ease, was referred to in our last issue. Vancamp vs. Corley et ei., was an action for the proper construction of a will, the maker having described his farm as the east half ofa certain lot, whereas it was the west half, and the will was so regfetered. The matter was settled by the chief justice. The action of Allen ve. Andrews, though on the jury fist, was tried without a jury. The plaintiff, Allen, seized or caused to be seized at To. ronto two carloads of cattle, claiming that they were the property of S. Andrews, or a company in which he was interested. J. F. Andrews claimed that he owned the cattle, and that they were purchased with his money, and after the witnesses had been examined the chief justiae gave judgment for defendant, with costs. Daring the session the grand jury made their presentment. It was a . long document, and referred to the satisfactory condition of the jail, and ;the incarceration there of three peo- ple who were of unsound mind, and strongly urged that a young man named Greer be removed to some: place where he could be prop -I erly treated. It stated that the house of refuge was in good condition,' though it needed some repairs; that: there wero 82 inmates, of whom two. women were very i11, and several men very infirm ; that the inmates' were fairly satisfied, got enough food, but were not pleased with the cleanliness and quality of their dress ; that the institution was run economi-, Cally, but should not be so ran at the expense of the inmates.
