large number of the voterehad received
liquor on that day from Brown in his
room at flogg's hotel. Thisi_according
to a decision of Mr. justice Patterson,
was a corrupt practice.
Mr. McPherson theta referred to the
payrneut of $15 to Mr. Guthrie by, Or.
itemiser Snaith, the sena being not ae-
counted for in the election expeuses of
the respondent. Mr. Smith inverted
Mr Guthrie, who addreased public
meetings in Mr. Garrow's absence.
Tbis, it was elanned, was at least an il-
legal practice on the part of afr. Smith,
and probably fell within the clam of
Mee which are characterized AS cor-
rupt practices by the statute. It also
positively proved that Alex.Smith had
lorDa fond at his dieposal which he was
using contrary to law. Reference was
read° on this point to some recently
decided English cases svbere electione
had been set &sine.

They attended not as nelegates, but as
supporters of Int. Garrow. There was
no evidence that Vanstone was at the
convention during the thne of the

date. Mr. Watson held that there was
no case so far. Mr. Garrow bis nom-

Mr. McPherson then asked the in-
dulgence of the court to submit some -
newly -discovered evidence bearing on
t e agency of Vanstone. He wanted
to produce the town clerk of Wingham
to prove that Vanstone rented the
town hall of that place for the purpose

Judge Osler -The law is quite -clear
that such a etaternent would be of no
avail if there were corrupt practices.
-Ett is quite true, continued Mr. Wat-
son, that a number of parties went
into the constituency that Mr. Garrow
had no knowledge of. He had no
knowledge of Mr. Smith's coming.
Judge Rose -Mr. Garrew's evidence
was to the effect that he -knew there
were men coming in, brought in by
Mr. Smith,. and that they were look -
jog after his interests.
Mr. Watson stated that Mr. Gamow
knew that Mr. Smith had charge of
the meetings and getting speakers for
these meetings. There was no evidence,
that Mr.:Smith took part in the work
of committees in the election.:
As to money spent by Alex. Smith,
there was no evidence that he had
more money than the amount it was
shown he had expended. •
Judge Rose -Except when water

The point involved a long 'technical

replied for half an hour, citing various
