i As soon teethe court was openedMIs
Dickenson read and flied°the following
Afildarit by himself, touching his in-
ability to serve the order of •the court
On Linklater':
3. "1••Edmund 'Lindsay Dickenson. of
ati risen of *Ingham, in the Oonnty
of Huron, barrister -at -lath', make oath
.and say ; I am the solicitor for the
above-named petitioner in this matter:
"(2 • Having received information
that John' T. Linklater, ` the witness
, named in the order hereunto annexed,
,.,was expected to return to his home in
Wingham after the last sittings of this
court, I reteincd'the said order in nay.
own hands.instead of placing it in the.
hands of the Sheriff of the County of
Huron, in Order to enable me •sto effect
rotnpteervice upon the eitid Linklater
r6imediately upon hie arrival.
"(81,1 kept Careful . watch for the
Bald Linklater, both by, myself and by
othere, whom I instructed for thatpur-
dose,: but the said Sohn T. Linklater
id not return to. his home in- Wing
a' hints,' and I was unable to effect service
Of the said order upon him.
"(4) I have received no intelligence.
of the ecoid Linklater later than that
,;,,,, .,pehlclt advised me that he was staying
;at the Barclay' house in the pity of
Petiole -
"(5) The ffe of the said Sohn T.
L{nkllater le still stay ing in the said
Wit of Winghamn,but has declined to

In eft* of this Mr. Dickenson ask- t
eek, the Whet to Order `an adjourn- t
Justice..
Huron' Election. Case Being Paid by
Kee 'Out°of the' Way, '
before the court last week . you ':pro-
duced a statement from aMr. Douglas,
Has that statement. been sworn to
yet,
Mr. Dickenson : I regret to say that
it has' not been sworn to, and I must
admit that Mr. Douglas ' absolutely re-
fuses• to make oath to these'state-
ments.
Continuing, Mr. Dickson stated that
Mr.. Douglas of Lucknow was politic-
ally opposed to the petitioners and al-
though he had unbosomed hinielf very
freely to him—Mr. Dickenson—aynd et
one time appeared willing to sign an
affidavit, he now declined to do so.
bfr. Watson o posed the motion for
adjournment, The petitioners had
produced no material in support of an
adjournment, lie protested that no
attempt' had been made to serve sutn-
rnons upon Linklater, and, as shown
byMr. Dickenson's aflldavit, he had
himself retained the order. •
Justice Rose; --What attempt more
could be made a It would have' been.
perfectly useless to serve the order out
of the country,
His Lordship asked Jar. Watson li-
the' respondents had endeavored to f5J
cilitate servbce.
Mr. Watson replied that they had
not and would present argument to
show that Linklater was not a neces•
sary witness. The court refused to
hear hair contention, An order had al-
ready been,issued for Linklater`s ap-
pearance.
The limit pf adjournment had been
reached, Me. Wateon said, and theta
was no reason why a further adjourn-
ment should be granted.
"No reason," Justice Osler replied,
"except that tbie witness is keeping
out of'the way."
Justice Rose would not allow any
witness to tire out the court.
Mr. Watson spoke ofo interminable
adfournmenta. Would his• Lordship
approve that course P
"If necessary'and in the interests of
justice," replied Justice Rose, "I cer-.
tainly would foment 10 prolonged ad-
jottrpnient."
Mt, justice Osler then nnnouneed
that the trial would be adjourned un•
til SeptemberSth, but that if the wit-
ness could he produced, and Mr. J`us-
ieelRose and himseif were in town,

Mrs. Captain Dan , McKay was at
Clinton for a short time, last week in.
June, and on herr return her daughter
heard the bus coining to the door, and
fearing the bus horses might go thro'
that unfortunate Britannia road tank,
she ran out and warned the driver not
to come up to the gate.
When we get the electric street, rail-
way in perfect running order, the' citi-
zens of Clinton and adjoining towns
could remain here for. the 'summer
months and go to their respective work
by the electric car.
We. were passing the C. P. R. office,
Weststreet, and we heard a gentle-
man say "We use 1503. bushels Mani•
toll* wheat a day, besides local wheat"
and we looked up and saw that one of
thein was Mr, Colborne,. grain buyer,
We thought that was an item we must
treasure up, so we Waited our time and
very soon. we saw Mr. Colborne head -
in for the s office g pat on his bicycle.
We asked him who the gentleman was
and' he answered very ambiguously "A
miller," and although we -pride our-
selves upon not asking many quest ions,
we said "0 yes we know he's a miller,
but he is a stranger." Then Mr. C.
thought he might venture to inform us
that the gentleman was Mr. Mooers'of
Kingston.
